smallhobbitJust over a week ago, on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ushobwri it was suggested in view of all the negative vibes we should all try to shine a little light somewhere. My contribution was the following poem, please excuse the dodgy metre on the last line:
As hopes are dashed and trampled underfoot
And fears held dormant climb back into mind
As tears are shed and sorrows overwhelm us
It is up to us to show love for humankind
Remember as you shed your tears today
A simple act is all it takes to show
That if the sun shines briefly through the rain
You too will see the glorious rainbow

browngirl has now illustrated the poem, and I encourage you all to take a look.
On Friday the daughter and I met up in London. I told her to choose which shows she would like to go to and I would make the final decision. Which is why we went to see Mamma Mia. Her first choice was Matilda, but I've already seen it.
She enjoyed it a lot, which was good. I decided I prefer the older style musicals, which in some ways seem to have more of a story to tell. Lots of upbeat Abba songs, which were fun. I wasn't too impressed with most of the singers and Sophie, in particular, didn't appeal. However Tanya (Mazz Murray) and Rosie (Jo Napthine) both made me smile, they seemed to have more about them than the others.
