By Laurie Wilkinson
Sitting in my favourite chair
In my most comfortable way,
Looking back at hours passed
To reflect how went the day?
Well some go very well
And others not so good,
So in the scheme of life
That must be understood.
But more important than this
Is how you deal with it all,
Smiling with those good days
With no cause to fall.
But what about the bad times
That can also arrive too?
Can we get up if knocked down
May define both me and you?
So how well the day went is crucial
But our responses so much more,
For if you react to adversity
Your life will be more secure,
Than if you just roll over
Bleating about having no luck.
So if not standing your own ground
You may regret your lack of pluck.
Author Bio:
Originally from East London, I now live in Eastbourne and am known as The Psychy Poet due to my expansive career in psychiatry in which I have a forensic psychiatry degree.
I have published 15 books of my poetry, and alongside entertaining, which includes reading my poems on cruise ships, I donate all above my costs to the charity Help for Heroes. At present my total raised is over £11,5oo and rising.
My poems have won awards and been published in national newspapers, magazines, online publications and regular columns of mine. I have guested on BBC Radio frequently and other local stations too. A national radio read my poems out as well.
My books are mostly in four sections of romance, humour, reflection and tragedy and I also write many poems on commission.
