Help winter blues
COLD dark mornings, wind and rain,Winter time is back again.Don't let it make us sit and mope,Think of things to help us cope.Take up writing, go for a walk,Meet up with friends and talk and talk.
A coffee morning can be fun,
With biscuits, cake or an iced bun.
A charity morning or bring and buy,
Grandma may make an apple pie.
Do voluntary work if you have a car,
As some dear folk can't go very far.
Help young mums or babysit,
They may want to work or do keep fit.
Housebound people would love a friend,
To help each day come to an end.
Lonely people get depressed and sad,
So if we can help, we should be glad.
Whatever we choose, make it fun,
For yourself and everyone.
