I like to practice mindfulness, its the adult thing to do

But when it comes to doing it I haven’t got a clue!

I start by putting all my troubles in bubbles in the sky

then each one pops  and supposedly away my problems fly

I settle down my thinking, I relax and close my eyes

I listen, hearing birds, a lawn mower and buzzing flies

an Airplane flies overhead and  Oh I remember when!

Memories flood my brain, concentrations gone again.

I’m going to try once more, I am sure that I can do it

I relax and close my eyes and try to forget that I just blew it

I hear the pool pump rumble and the chatter of children’s voices

I wonder what they want for lunch and think about their choices

Buggar! done it again, I have a brain which never slows

It wanders about all over the place, never knowing where it goes

Mindfulness is a useful skill to help when troubles prevail ya

but I must admit when it comes to focus, I am a complete failure!
