To apply oneself<\/p>\n
to a task in hand<\/p>\n
on a Wintry day<\/p>\n
is to understand<\/p>\n
an unremitting and exhausting<\/p>\n
day<\/p>\n
both a \u00a0burdening and exhausting<\/p>\n
way<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
demolish some steps<\/p>\n
in a garden site<\/p>\n
replace with dry stone<\/p>\n
and hand rail<\/p>\n
at a height<\/p>\n
of painstaking labour<\/p>\n
to apply his skill<\/p>\n
clad in heavy oil skin<\/p>\n
His \u00a0true treadmill<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
moving heaven and earth<\/p>\n
in the icy rain<\/p>\n
all his true endeavours<\/p>\n
none in vain<\/p>\n
creating from what<\/p>\n
had been built before<\/p>\n
into perfection<\/p>\n
and what is more<\/p>\n
it was carried out<\/p>\n
in a heartfelt way<\/p>\n
with might and main<\/p>\n
he saved my day<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
he cared enough<\/p>\n
Despite the pain \u00a0put into the task<\/p>\n
in the pouring rain<\/p>\n
A neighbourly friend<\/p>\n
on a higher plain<\/p>\n
Spadework \u00a0and legwork<\/p>\n
again and again<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
sweat and tears<\/p>\n
a fearsome chore<\/p>\n
and he never stopped<\/p>\n
he, from next door<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am disabled<\/p>\n
old and grey<\/p>\n
Dewi is special in every way<\/p>\n
Uphill and hard fought<\/p>\n
He can allay<\/p>\n
tedium, he just carries on through<\/p>\n
the promise made<\/p>\n
he is good and true<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
willing and ready<\/p>\n
to see stuff through<\/p>\n
an action man in reality<\/p>\n
a crusader in fact<\/p>\n
in his wish to be<\/p>\n
a dry stone waller<\/p>\n
a skill set He<\/p>\n
carries out<\/p>\n
extraordinarily<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
innovative labour<\/p>\n
valiant and true<\/p>\n
Leaving no stone un turned<\/p>\n
his groundwork in view<\/p>\n
great preparation<\/p>\n
Qualified He<\/p>\n
keyed up and psyched up<\/p>\n
and now purposefully<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
delivered the goods<\/p>\n
in his artistic way<\/p>\n
an object of beauty<\/p>\n
Happened today<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
handrails to aid me<\/p>\n
Exceptional skill<\/p>\n
well prepared and practised<\/p>\n
And with his will<\/p>\n
and endeavour to please<\/p>\n
All done in a morning<\/p>\n
With consummate ease<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
safety was key<\/p>\n
in his minds eye today<\/p>\n
What had seemed a hazard<\/p>\n
had been brushed away<\/p>\n
awake and willing<\/p>\n
to help me<\/p>\n
today<\/p>\n
and now I have a garden<\/p>\n
i can reach<\/p>\n
and a way<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
to make<\/p>\n
The landscaping<\/p>\n
better by far<\/p>\n
in my little world<\/p>\n
Dewi Thomas is a \u00a0Star<\/p>\n
He supports<\/p>\n
he protects<\/p>\n
a benevolent soul<\/p>\n
he walks his talk<\/p>\n
he is in control<\/p>\n
astounds with his skill set<\/p>\n
His noteworthy design<\/p>\n
peerless and eminent<\/p>\n
this Dear \u00a0friend of mine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dewi Thomas \u00a0 Master \u00a0Dry Waller and all around<\/p>\n
