Millions of blooms blossom on trees

Millions of blades of green grass

Millions of flowers in the beds

Millions of birds and butterflies pass

Millions of leaves on all the trees

Millions of waves on all the sea

 Millions of years of the trials

Before they perfected sweet me

Millions of stars, millions of cars

Millions of miles, we don't drive far

Millions of grains of sand, salt and sugar

Millions of cells in me, all together

Millions of brain cells, lots of gains

Millions of thoughts make aches and pains

Millions of thoughts, better again

Millions of thoughts, most just the same

Millions of thoughts, future and past

Millions of dreams, but dreams don't last

Millions of thoughts, wonders, and yet

I had one thought, which I forget.

The Lost and Broken Umbrella Comic Poem 122 by Angela Lansbury

 Red, bent umbrella. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.

I've lost my broken umbrella

I'm sure you are wondering why

I have lost my broken umbrella

I put it down wet, left it up to dry

Did I leave it in the restaurant?

Or leave it on the train?

The trouble with lost umbrellas is

You never find them again

I admit it was twisted and broken

I admit, like me, it was old and bent

I admit it didn't add to my status

But I still wonder where it went

But today I found an umbrella

Broken and stained and stuck

It was half on the grass, under a bush

Covered in leaves and muck

I can see why the owner left it

It's a nuisance to wash, as you see

Nobody would ever want it

Nobody else but me

Lost and broken umbrellas

Are everywhere on the ground

I lost one and I found one

Broken umbrellas, not round, but go round.

Song Birds

Song 

I Am With You

by Angela Lansbury

My sun face smiles, when you’re swimming

Buoys you up, so no self-harm comes

When you run, cook, eat, start slimming

Hear my sweet voice sing, say, 'Well done!'

I grew you safe, tucked in my womb

You left, one cord, like vines, entwined with me

Even when trapped in the tight tomb

Bound, like gold chains, for eternity

Each day trot out, scan round and see

Love’s endless waves, like leaves on trees

Like clear rivers, flow swift to sea

Thoughts and words shared, cost time, stay free

You travel far, plan, divert, roam

Laugh, downy ducks go paddling by

Cheered by warm thoughts of our dear home

We blue songbirds, fly through life’s sky.
