where is the warm weather
l am still really cold in the mornings
we are based up the top of cliffs near the sea



about to get the group out and about
along the cliff tops

emotional literacy is a real issue with our
young people but l don`t feel
those sharing the numbers
understand or care about the future mental health of our young people




Bobby one of our young people
who thinks things thru,
reflects a lot about the issues he is facing

The issue l witness young people facing are complex and have not been resolved since l started in youth work in September 1976,
just after l was baptized into the faith of those who follow Jesus.



Youth have this ability not to worry
but it not the same as not caring
they need to be protected from all that we are making the world
so they can just be....
just be...
when was the last time you were just . . .
just YOU.....
take some time to just be. . .

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
