The God of Odd

The god of all including grief,

Who offers us all such relief

Led me to an expanding retreat

Not only based on what I did eat

Grief can make me feel out of my head

And often want to take to my bed

Especially when I’ve been very well fed

Of good food, company and scenery

There’s a lot to be said

I had large portions of all on this treat

Where lots of interesting folk, I did meet

We talked, we listened & we laughed a lot

There was so much variety in the pot

We all have many stories to tell

And when we’re open to hearing, we really gel

When we’re willing to learn from each other

There’s much that makes us like sister and brother

We all share in this human spirit

With its up and downs, it requires real grit

More so for the lessons that are seriously shit

But offer deep learning when approached with wit

The learning literally never stops

And calls me now to change my socks

To walk in new ways and shoes

So to my great God, stay entirely true

Thank you God

For making me odd

I own all that I am

Cos I trust in your plan

Let’s get this party started ….
