Just Seemed Natural Okay Poem by Tom Allport

Pat-oh-Pat
This you must know
I like sending messages in the rhyme show
Late this afternoon I felt strange like
Hit with mental healing from Southport range
I had to think
Pain is going away
I thought about you all in Southport today
2.30ish, I was up walking about
Felt like I could twist no shout
Thought I clean my table
Do a painting or two
Felt my walking feeling better
Was coming from all of you.
Short of pots of paint
I started mooching 'round
Cleaning up the table
And floor all around
Found I had enough to start
Wished I had more
Then Frances entered
Closing the front door
Could see her eyes were dancing
Blossoms in her hair
She couldn't wait to tell me about Southport
And all you being there.
I said to Frances, I feel really fine
Like I got healing messages on my thought lines
We looked at each other and quite smile
Stange things happening in the healing line
Frances said 'Tommy, Lesley got this for you'
And handed me a bag - like a dream come true
Paints, nail varnish, acrylic divine
Out of paint a minute ago, now fine.
Brushes delicate - soft true
Can't stop me painting 'cos you're beautiful too.
When my eyes they started watering cooled down
I could see
All the beautiful colours because Lesley you know me
Frances putting the kettle on, telling me more
I'm walking about - pain walked out door
She handed me an Amethyst
The twinkles hit my eyes
I see faces in the jewellery and healing in its eyes
I know Pat it comes from you
And all around there energy too
I've painted two pictures
Wrote a story in Rhyme
Gonna make a cuppa tea
And honest I'm fine
Thank you Pat, for the pain stone -
It's beautiful to feel
I know your energy and self-power in malachite
To me helps heal
I keep stones with me
And a world I do now see
A sparkling ray of healing care
From all of you to me
Time to get de kettle on
Just want to say
I love you all like family
Just seemed natural okay.
