when the times get rough and I lose sight of the goal i just. reread âthe orangeâ by wendy cope again & remember. thatâs where Iâm going folks. sooner or later, whatever it takes.
At lunchtime I bought a huge orangeâ The size of it made us all laugh. I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Daveâ They got quarters and I had a half.
And that orange, it made me so happy, As ordinary things often do Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park. This is peace and contentment. Itâs new.
The rest of the day was quite easy. I did all the jobs on my list And enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. Iâm glad I exist.
â âThe Orange,â Wendy Cope
