I received a lovely supportive email the other day from my good friend and business partner Debbie Hollingsworth. Debbie was offering me her enthusiasm and encouragement regarding the Charity Walk that my mum and I did on Sunday – that email really made my day. Debbie ended the email with ‘It made my heart smile’, I loved that phrase and I told her I was going to write a poem about it. This next poem is dedicated to Debbie, thank you for your inspiration and wonderful friendship.
It Made My Heart Smile
What makes your heart smile?
What makes you go the extra mile?
What is the passion, that burns deep in you?
What gives you hope, to see it through?
Lots of questions, to make your mind tick
Choices and decisions, so important to pick
To make a difference, love starts inside
Showing you care, fills me with pride
It made my heart smile, breathing life into me
Your spirit is alive and gave me energy.
