Words for the end of the day
Poem by Richard Devereux
Before sleep can sweep your face with its cloak,
cradle in your heart the passing day:
re-run all you did, with whom you spoke:
what memories to take away, what lessons learnt?
Those you love, go round them, each in turn,
friends too and some you know less well,
share, at one remove, their joys and concerns.
and try to understand how others are.
