Fortitude

Its crawling from the sheets when darkness clouds your sight.
A cuppa with a friend, the everyday hero.
It's falling tears and nails carving the palm to stop a fight.
The sound of broken things echo.

The freedom of A brisk walk in any weather.
A single focus through the eye of a camera.
Reading a book hidden in the heather.
Innocent spinning giggling laughter.

A stroll through the wonders of mother nature.
Companionship, loyalty and affection of furry friends.
Running water, rocky stoned, Bare footed adventure.
Childhood fun that time transcends.

It's music, singing and dancing in the rain.
Proudly defining the weird and crazy.
Letting love simply wash away each moments pain.
Learning to redefine happy.
