Keep Calm And Imagine Poem by Denis Martindale

Yes, it helps to know God loves me!
Yet life still gets me down!
Though my faithful friends are lovely,
At times, I wear a frown!
Before I dream, I clear my mind,
Let God take full control,
Awaiting any joy to find
To soothe my troubled soul...

I keep calm and imagine there
That I'm a movie star,
Another Oscar yet to share,
Then back home in my car...
To go online and see it all
Upon my TV screen
That almost spans across the wall,
The biggest ever seen...

My butler brings me my champagne
And wants my autograph,
I hope he doesn't think me vain,
I hope he doesn't laugh...
I look divine when on TV,
All dressed up glam, of course,
My Oscar shining next to me,
Because it's mine, not yours!

I can't help smiling ear-to-ear!
That Oscar means I'm blessed!
Now with the one I won last year,
No wonder I'm impressed!
That's when at home in Cricklewood,
Not Hollywood, alas,
Completely calm and feeling good,
I let the long day pass...

I fall asleep, perchance to dream,
That God helps pay my rent,
That even now I'm on His team,
Although my money's spent...
With holey socks and holy heart,
Despite my poverty,
I've still got love enough to start
Some brand new poetry!
