I will hold your hand till the end of the road
The beginning of the end, part of growing old
At night I can close my eyes and sleep in peace
Your soul has taken flight been released
I can hold my head up with tears in my eyes
Stood by you till the end and said goodbye
In my darkest times you gave me light
Through thick and thin and all my plight’s
When it was cold you shined like the sun
When I was down you where a special mum
Yesterday at the end of the road we did part
I said goodbye alone with my broken heart
In future times we will meet at heavens gates
Until then time will pass till I reach my fate
We will find a new road we can tread together
It’s heavens place but this one lasts forever

Fictional for now. My Mother has Alzheimer's.

Life's Journey

Be happy in life nothing is perfect
Enjoy the world it really is worth it
Many barriers faced make you sigh
Sometimes you smile when you want to cry
The journey you face is your little world
So open your heart be it a boy or a girl
You will have days filled with heavenly bliss
The embrace of a lover with the sweetest kiss
Days with the loss of family or a close friend
Your heart breaks in two and you wish for the end
It’s life’s journey with many twist and turns
Sometimes you will find your fingers get burnt
It’s just everyday life with it’s ups and downs
Some days you swim others you will drown
Just be happy in life nothing is perfect
Enjoy the world it really is worth it

Storms Within My Soul

There is a storm within my soul
And it never seems to cease
The thoughts I can’t control
I never find my peace

Endless torrents of rain
Tidal waves of emotion
A prisoner in dark refrain
Emptiness without devotion

The darkest clouds that gather
Brings tears that will flow
It’s my only kind of weather
The thoughts nobody knows

I listen to stormy seas
Nobody can hear my voice
It brings my life to it’s knees
This life was not my choice

When your soul begins to break
And you breath a final sigh
It’s your life’s final fate
And it's time to say goodbye…..

Spare a thought for people
with depression who live in
silence and invisible to those around.

Broken Heart

No words of wisdom spoken the silence said it all
I knew it was coming when I took your call
My heart broke in two, I always loved you
No more warming embrace, emptiness in it's place
I will never love anyone like you again
For now in mourning the poets pen remains

Cycle Of Life

In the cycle of life a new born will breath
And depend on it's parents for all it's needs
A precious child will learn to speak and spell
And build friendships at school that eventually gel
One day they will grow into a young man or girl
Learn to live independently free in this world
Build loving relationships and have their own child
And some will split up and others reconciled
And as years pass by we slowly grow older
The cold winter nights will seem even colder
In this cycle of life we all live and breath
And our day will come when it's time to leave
