Sing heart and come alive,
close your eyes and clear your mind.
You can recall those desert sands
and when I take you by the hand,
atop the golden dunes we'll stand,
in heaven, in those mountains high,
sing heart and come alive.
Sing heart and come alive,
the alleys of the old Oman
in bustling fruit filled market place,
I clearly see your lovely face.
The dhows along the river nile,
it's splendid majesty of pace,
sing heart and come alive.
Sing heart, and come alive,
close your eyes and clear your mind,
the hanging fragrant jasmin blooms,
will take away your heavy gloom.
The beauty of your mothers face
the slowness of our daily pace,
sing heart and come alive.
Sing heart and come alive,
the frankincense in pots of gold
the alleys and the boys so bold,
the galaxy of sweetest cakes,
the air so warm upon your face.
Close your eyes and clear your mind,
sing heart and come alive...

It's so lovely, made me cry, but so lovely
Helen
I have been sitting reading your poems and listening to Jo singing his songs and have just realised that there are tears streaming down my face. Your bravery and dignity in the face of this is just overwhelming me. The poems are so moving and expressive and tell of your life and love together.
We found your poems to be very touching and spiritual. They are a huge testament to the relationship you share with each other and the family. We think you are very talented Susie and we continue to enjoy your previous book.
Thank you Hilary and Richard for your lovely comments.
Thank you dear Mill, I should never wish to make you sad, but I am so pleased you found these poems moving. I think of you often with affection x
