“Don’t count the days. Make the days count.”
- Muhammad Ali

----------
A Jinjagoliath poem
First published: October 2020

Listen to poem:
For some the beginning. For some it's the end. For many; days just merging Into the blend. But the concept of Friday Is simply this; It's the end of the work-week Sealed with a kiss. It's assurance of respite. It's that glorious space Loaded with promise. It's the end of the race. That comfiest armchair Those slippers so snug. It's like greeting a friend With a lingering hug. Is it really enough If it's one out of seven? Or should we be seeking A little more heaven? I think as I drive Through the Autumnal streets That all days are precious And while life repeats.. Relax and enjoy them Wherever you are.. For loving the journey Will help take you far. So Fridays, we love you, To the end and the start. And thank you for helping me Reset my heart.

Hello my friend. I love this poem and I love your soothing tones with the narration ( one of the best so far) You really have got a great recording voice which always enhances your beautiful poetry. Your voice made it seem very ‘personal’ like you were addressing the reader which made it all captivating. I love the reminder of treasuring all days. We all wish our lives away wishing it was this day or that day. We should make everyday ‘Friday’ :) Really enjoyed reading this very reflective,

Dear Christina, so lovely of you to stop by :) Our weekends have Fridays, our lives too.. if only we could have more Friday vibes. I often wonder if retirement eliminates the terror of Monday vibes but similarly the joy of Fridays. We'll see. Answers on a postcard... Happy Easter too! Cx
