A song which brings a tingle
Grayson Perry on TV
two little things in life
which bring joie de vivre to me
Something coloured yellow
Yaki Udon, ginger spice
A really lovely beer
Marmite crisps (they’re very nice)
My little dog called Obi
my wife and children too
Walking in the country
which I often like to do
The beach and sea in Sussex
I have know since just a boy
Our beach hut down at Lancing
all these things will bring me joy
And the bringing of that joy
is a part of life that I
could never really do without
and need it to get by
That joie de vivre, the spark of life
dare I say ‘raison d’être’?
A quintessential part of me
in French, the word ‘soumettre’
An expression of God’s goodness
deep rooted, simple, free
this peace of mind, this happiness
the joy that’s brought to me
