DAY FIFTY-NINE  Sunday 28 th February 2021: Morning has broken:   MORNING HAS BROKEN Morning has broken and the birds are singing. The Blackbird invites us to start the day.

How will things look at the end of today ?   Well, I’ll tell you tomorrow. ...

YES, I know the poetry I write is rubbish but here is the first one.   TREE Thank you tree for letting me sit beneath your branches They are tall What stories can they tell How many birds have nested to make their homes there ?
