 Poetry:

Avril is our advocate for the Cork area.

Flowers

Thistles, thistles everywhere, in my skin and in my hair.
Will I ever pluck them out
Action, action shut your mouth.
Open up, breath in the air
feel it's freshness in your hair.
Roses can blossom for you
if you really want them to.
No more doubt, no more sorrow
Today's the past of tomorrow.
Work at it to make it good
it's your life, so you should.
Once you start to realize
no one should be idolized
except the power of God above
who showers you every day with love.
He'll show the way, so they say
live life to the  full everyday.
Make the best of what's around
don't always head for underground.
somehow, somewhere, there must be hope
deep within then you can cope.
When that hope is reality
Hope then for eternity.
