I love you
I didn't even see the door
I seemed to have missed the flower
That was sitting sad and true

If I asked you
When will we pray
You answer
As my heart breaks

My sky would fall
Rain would gather through troughs
As I brave windy storms
You have been brave enough

I couldn't see the robin on the swing
Oblivious of the cage it's in
It still sings
Appreciate the little things, as life becomes difficult. The bigger things will then appear easy. When the time is right, my friend.
My poem
Was In the Irish News
Today and Irish Newspapers
And read out on the radio this morning.

Thank you all very much and stay safe God​ bless you all.

Sometimes I just forget
You love to play Chinese whispers

You say, don't go offline
Stay active, stay online
Don't disconnect me, no, don't go
I'd sell my soul just to fix up what's slow.

You say, don't leave me alone
Watch me closely like my foes
Say hello, like you've wandered into my soul
Let me miss you like you're gone.

You say, don't hang up on me
talk to me like your personal therapist
don't leave me! no, don't go
stay with me till we grow old

You say, don't go offline
stay active, stay up all night
don't sleep off on me! no! please don't
I'd sell my possession to keep our sleep away
Box
I was in a cage.
In that cage for so long, I couldn’t breathe.
But you came and broke me out of that cage-
Allowed me to believe I was free.
Free to breathe, to love, to touch.
Never noticing the walls slowly closing in around me until it was too late.
You brought me out of my cage,
only to shove me in a box.
