Many of us are doing the ordinary things

Which, perhaps, makes their bells ring

But some dance to a different drummer

Beating in rhythms very much younger



Some of these things are extraordinary

Much of them are things quite stationary

To do with art and crafts and computers

For many - these things really do suit us 



Some do things which really stand out

To do with art and graphics which shout

Others concentrate just on writing words

Which rebound with energy yet unheard



Whatever you do in life - make it your best

Then others will sing their praises, blessed

And this will urge you on to a completeness

For praise goes so much further, for it has 

                                       no weakness ...



- Tristram
