Fight or Flight

To fight or flight

the body decide.

Blood pumping to heart

an adrenaline hike.

The danger is here,

I don't want to be near 

the things that I hear!

But staying strong I must,

and in the future, I trust.

So, I fight with all my might!

Penny

Say sorry and it will be sorted.

No really, you shouldn’t thump Daniel,

You should share the Lego.

Sssss

Say sorry and it will be sorted.

Daniel is sad, he’s crying.

He wants to share the Lego and be friends.

Ssss

Say sorry and it will be sorted.

Why don’t you play in the sand together?

No, we don’t throw it about!

Sss

Say sorry and it will be sorted.

Let’s share a book together. Daniel, you choose.

Okay Penny, we can read Elmer.

Ss

Say sorry and it will be sorted.

Daniel, why don’t you play with Josh.

Penny, who will you play with? No one?

S

Say sorry and it will be sorted.

Sorry Daniel!

Let’s play outside!

S-O-R-R-Y … how many ways?

Sorry I’m late- traffic

On my way- train delayed

Ready in five- computer malfunction

Running late- overstayed my welcome

Yet am I?

Sorry I didn’t call

Only, I lost my phone

Returning the call- no reply

Ready to apologise

Yet am I?

Sorry I let you down

Only meant to cause a frown

Realised my mistake

Really didn’t feel great

Yes, sorry I am.

The Well-being Hub

A welcoming place,

Where a community face

A source for changing opportunities

For all people with different abilities.

Here they won’t judge or discriminate,

No matter your age, background or faith.

A hub where we meet,

To chat, write, walk, bake and eat,

Or just greet each other with empathy

Without pressure and feeling no pity.

Let’s gather together around the well

And to the loneliness and misery say forever farewell.
