Take the time to look at the rainbow
After the storm  has blown

Take the time to smell the flowers
After your gardens grown

Take the time to smile at strangers
Who's path you"ll one day cross

Take the time to care- to listen
To those suffering or lost

Take the time to hear the birds
Singing early dawn

Take time to appreciate beauty
Of morning dew drops on the lawn

Take the time to be silent
Find a quiet place

Take time to spend on relationships
And with a heart of love embrace

Be still and listen to your breath
Be aware of your  own being
Be at peace within your very soul
Aware of your own meaning
Don't utter even a whispered word
Empty your cluttered mind
Relish your very essence
Then a calm you"ll surely find

She looked so smart
Oh how she's grown
How these years have quickly flown
As we arrived at the gates
I looked at those eyes
Full of wonder apprehension surprise
You'll be ok
I heard myself say
You'll see your friends
You'll have a good day
Reassured I kissed her cheek
Hiding from her
My urge to weep
Another chapter now unfolds
More memories to treasure
To have to hold
There locked in my heart
Forever to stay
Looking forward
Tomorrows another day
I hope she's ok
I'm sure she'll be fine
I tell myself over and over in my mind
I'd like to wrap her in cotton wool
But I can't
She has to go to school.

How much do you mean to me?
I feel I should explain
In the only way
That I know how
So I'm writing once again

Without you I'm in darkness
This means - (you are my light)

Your some one I can talk to
This means - (there's no need to fight)

Your loyal, so understanding
This means-( no  need to doubt)

Your affectionate, you listen
This means- (no need to shout)

Your there through good
There through bad
Even in between
(Your my love )(my inspiration)

Hope now ?

You know.         how much you mean.

I love you as the dew drop
Encases the rose

I love you- not just words
I sincerely hope it shows

I love you from the earth I tread
To the heights of heaven above

I feel this
I know this in my heart
Yes
This is love .........

The baby looks just like you
Lots of people say it
I tell you often
He has your eyes
Your lips
Your
Ears n nose
As he's getting older the resemblance is more obvious
He needs fresh air
Going for a walk
I collect your cigarette ****
Lots of thoughts eating away at me
We've been friends for years  "me n her"
Hope I'm wrong
But we always seem to be babysitting
You never refuse ?
The old sayings -" I never took notice of before"
Didn't really understand just what they meant
Haunt me !
Playing over in my restless mind

"Familiarity  breads contempt"!
Two's company 3's a crowd !

I head straight to the doctors office
I hand your cigarette end to him
He collects the baby's DNA
I wait

I wonder just what   DNA stands for
My name gets called out
The results are in, !
Tension rises in every part of my being
Sweat drips down my spine
I feel I've stopped breathing
As my racing heart beats in a loud deafening tone
It's confirmed

My life's just crumbled
In a moment of time
My identity ripped to shreds
I'm no longer
A best friend
A god mother
Your wife
I wonder have I done the right thing ?

"Curiosity killed the cat"!
Another old saying

Just realised what DNA means.  

DO  NOT  ASK!

Another day
Another night
Another poem
I must write
Like an addict
It's my fix
Never writing
Contradicts
My greatest pleasure
When I write
This is my Privelage
This is my plight
This is  my air
I need to breath
This is my ground
That stands beneath
This is my love
My passion found
This is my sight
My taste
My sound
This is everything
I can be
No chains
That bind
Completely  Free.............
