A Poetic Thank You

A 'Thank You' can come in many shapes and forms! A client to the food bank recently said thank you in the form of a poem, and it is really to all of you who support the SVP, day in and day out. We hope you like it:

On a frosty cold winter's morning,
the darkness broken by warm festive lights above,
children singing carols, reminding of our Saviour's love.
People rushing, tapping away on their phones,
all kinds people but most seem like clones.
Then someone stops to greet a neighbour or friend,
a warm smile, catch up or lending a hand.
A smile that carries through their day,
a little kindness goes a long way.
It reminds me that, even if there are ever-dark clouds above,
to be thankful the world is full of joy, beauty and love.
So, I look forward to a new year we start,
may God keep safe all those in my heart.

Finally, as ever, if you or someone you know needs the help of the SVP team, just please reach out to us. We will always try our best to help.

God Bless.
