   The present that is you

    

   In your lap a parcel

   Wrapped in words and images

   of yesterday

   How will you unwrap it,

   nervously, tentatively?

    

   In your lap a parcel

   wrapped in colours and picture

   of childhood

   How will you unwrap it,

   quickly, fearfully?

    

   In your lap a parcel

   wrapped in sunlight and gold,

   how will you unwrap the

   present that is you,

   happily, excitedly?

2. Songs for Men to Chant

   Posted on 10:53am Friday 20th May 2011

   Sons of the same mother

    

   She may have born us

   close together or far apart

   so are we not

   sons of the same mother?

    

   We may call her

   Mother, mum or ma

   so are we not

   sons of the same mother?

    

   We may be seated in her lap

   Or reaching for her skirts

   so are we not

   Sons of the same mother?

    

   We work together in love

   as brothers

   so are we not

   sons of the same mother?

    

   Facing away from her

   or looking up at her face

   She holds us dear

   because we are sons

   Of  the same mother.
