Abundant Love
Lorraine day Jan 2014
If a raindrop was a kiss
I would give them all away
If the sunlight was a smile
I would share them every day
If the stars were positive thoughts
I would sprinkle them with glee
If the wind could spread my love
I'd give it all abundantly

Starting Over~
Lorraine day Jan 2014
Now is the time to rearrange
The thoughts of things
We cannot change

To just accept
Then leave behind
Those troubled times
That haunt the mind

Now is the time
To just embrace
Those future years
With a smile
On your face

To plan ahead
With goals in sight
Positive things
That bring delight

Now is the time
For you to shine
Enjoying

Each precious moment .....
Of time..........
My intention was to inspire positivity while writing this.  As its a new year I wish you all a very happy one x

Your Eyes~
Lorraine day Dec 2013
Your eyes they tell a story
They say much more
Than spoken words

So much more
Than any love song
That I have ever heard

Your gaze it's hypnotic
It speaks directly to my soul
Just one look
Then majically
My inner core
Feels whole

Your eyes
They have such impact
So much more than words or sound

Each time you smile and look at me

Confirms the love we've found
Lorraine day Dec 2013
My aim is to love
As gently as a snowflake  that falls
* * * * * * * *
To be as graceful
To be as pure in mind
And in thought
As inspiring
As elegant
* * * * * * * *
My aim is
To remember
That I have been created
As all of us have
Unique * *
As the snow flake that falls
* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Satans way
Lorraine day Dec 2013
Satan rules he is the master
He leaves behind
A trail of disaster
His aim never to enjoy
Destruction is his game
His ploy
His spoken words
They spit like fire
No truth
Evident
From this liar
His gift to all
His twain shall meet
Corruption >pain>lies> deceit

His pathway
Lorraine day Dec 2013
Today I will make a difference
A clean slate
A new start

I'll clear those cobwebs
From my mind
Dust those scars
Around my heart

I'll switch on my new thoughts
Wear my smile
Shining bright

Try my best
To help others
In the hope
I do things right

Taking this opportunity
Putting all the past behind
My~mind ~my heart ~

Beyond the shell
Lorraine day Dec 2013
A friendship formed from the start
I looked beneath
I saw her heart
No malice found
Just love and grace
Though sadness
Reflected upon her face

She had no friends
She lived alone
Her weight ballooned
To 30 stone
Her house unkempt
In disary
Her life a struggle
Every day

Lots of children
Who lived by
Through rocks and sticks
They made her cry
They laughed at her
Called her names
Bullying
One of there favourite games

She did look different
I agree
From the average
Person that we see
But she held a lesson
For us all
Don't judge by appearance
This lessons tall

I wondered why
We ever met
Each second spent
With no regret

As I now reflect
It's plain to see
The lesson learned
Was meant for me


To look beyond

What the minds eye told

As deep within

Was a heart of gold
In loving memory of my dear friend Patricia Newman who taught me so much about myself -and the plight of others who suffer due to disability and looking different from the norm.  I thank god so much love was shared between us -in the 3 years we knew one another  .

A happy heart ~
Lorraine day Nov 2013
A happy heart
Is an honest heart
It dances with the sun

No hatred found
No battles fought
No wars to be won

A happy heart is giving
Loving to the core
Forgiving all  Discrepancies
That happened long before

It radiates the joy of life
Turns darkness into light

{A happy hearts contented}

Like a star *

It shines so bright ~

{Life's ~Real ~Treasure }
Lorraine day Nov 2013
Heart gifts are our treasures
That money cannot buy
They touch the heart
In many ways
This we can't deny
...........................
A smile
A hug
A caring touch
These things are simple
Yet mean so much
................................
A friendly wave
A warm embrace
Can put a smile
On the saddest face
..................................
An outstretched hand
A listening ear
Can reassure
And banish fear

Transparent life force
Lorraine day Nov 2013
Some people say
I don't believe
In a god above
They can't perceive

They have never seen him
Or heard him speak
They scoff at believers
Consider them weak

They ask for evidence
To show he's there
Doubt why he would love us
Or even care

They say they've prayed
When things got tough
But he never heard
So they had enough

They then believe
When we die that's it
As a loving god
Doesn't seem to fit

Into this world
We dwell within
With hardened hearts
Their life is grim

My answer is ~then this perceive

His presence is transparent


Like the air we breathe

Happiness is a state of mind
Unto yourself
Be compassionate
Be kind

No room for judgement
Anger
Wrath
To yourself be true
On your destined path

Allow the time every day
To live~ enjoy ~your life
This way

Realise your worth
Your  own value
As you are unique
There's only one you

Understand your desires
Your thoughts
You'll find

That happiness

Is a state of mind~

The Star*
Lorraine day Nov 2013
A star is so much more than
A light that's shining bright
It's a symbol ~it's a guide
That led 3 men one night
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It glistened as they followed it
By its presence it would show
The pathway to a king
That this world
Would come to know
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
They found him in a manger
Above that star
Was shining bright
He too just like the star
            

Will guide your way

The magical symbol
Lorraine day Nov 2013
Welcoming all
Standing tall
Embracing its place in the entrance hall

The aim it's beauty
To enhance
Patiently decorating every branch

In admiration I gaze a while
It never fails to raise a smile

Covered in ornaments
Head to toe
The branches tipped
With winter snow

Awash with colors shining bright
Adorned with twinkling fairy lights

A spiritual calm evoked by sight


As it lights the darkness  
Induced by night


Inspired~ blessed~ entranced are we
By the beauty of the Christmas tree

The meaning of Christmas
Lorraine day Nov 2013
As Christmas time approaches
And we're eager to prepare
We should take the opportunity
To show we really care
It's not about the presents
Or the cards that people send
But about the heart of love we show
Upon which others can depend
There's many of your neighbours
Friends and family
That will feel sad or isolated
Without company
So why not think of others
In the spirit of good cheer
Spread the care and love of Christ
As his special time draws near

A tender glance
Lorraine day Nov 2013
He sat alone looked blank and stared
Unaware that someone cared

I watched him look at people go by
Then a teardrop fell from his eye

I wondered then
What I should do
I was also a stranger he never knew

Didn't want to infringe upon his space
But he looked up and stared me in the face

I smiled at him
Kindness in my eyes
He then smiled back
To my surprise


I asked if he'd like to join me then
No longer a stranger
He's now my freind

An opportunity by chance
Arose just by a tender glance

More than words ~
Lorraine day Nov 2013
It heals the heart
Nurtures the soul

When life gets tough
And takes it's toll

It instills a calm
Whenever there's fear
Reassurance of someone near

At times when words
Get in the way
This does more than they could say

When we feel like quitting
Pulling the plug
Often we only need

    (A hug )
So simple yet so significant to all of us regardless of age culture or status it can say so much more than words.

The Unspoken Gesture
Lorraine day Nov 2013
A little gesture ?
It may appear
No spoken word
No sound you'll hear

It says much more
Than words endeavour

Captured by the mind forever

Can light the darkness
Chase away
The clouds of someone else's day

As significant as a warm embrace
When displayed upon our face

It means so much
Theres no denial

The impact of a heartfelt
Smile ~

The double sided coin
Lorraine day Nov 2013
I prayed hoped and wished
To meet you
Hoping to emerge together as one
(Then I contradict myself)
(Keeping part of me in reserve)
(As Compulsory preservation)

We both admit our deepest
Most intimate feelings for one another
Our needs met
Our desires set
Our life path carved
Hand in hand
We walk
Together
The depth of our language is unseen
The rock upon which we stand indestructible
The emotion between us like a tsunami
Years have now sealed our bond
Overwhelmed by our love
Devotion
Integrity
Trust
We are so blessed
My love

Accepting you is like embracing my own reflection
Now we are entwined in harmonious bliss
We have what most people  seek
But my
reserve
I hope I never have to tap into
If you first depart
Neither do I want you to suffer losing me
Better to have loved n lost
Than never to have loved at all?
One of us is destined to find out
Love~

Self harm
Lorraine day Nov 2013
Affliction her addiction
Her thoughts held no restriction

She stumbled through her life blind
Leaving all who loved
Behind

No more harm
No more pain
Will never hear her voice again

The blade she sought as her best freind

Took her life in the end ........
In memory of my friend who lived in an isolated world of self destruction if only she could have seen herself like I saw her- loved herself as I loved her     /. Realising her talent creativity and beauty/.  If only.

My Father
Lorraine day Nov 2013
My father lives not far away
Our memories leave non but dismay
He never wiped away my tears
His presence caused unfounded fears

No love recalled
No bonds that tie
No truth no trust
His masks a lie

His inner core
So fraught unstable
To love his child
Rendered unable

With much regret
These words I write
As another day
Turns into night

He does not know this child he bore
As other things to him meant more
No bitterness felt
Nor malice from me

Only sadness he shunned
His responsibility

The road ahead
Lorraine day Nov 2013
The way to go is forward
Not backwards
Up or down
The way to go is smiling
Leave behind that frown
Stay focused  just keep going
No longer feel defeat

Never to repeat
This time will soon be over
You knew it had to end
Be strong be self sufficient
On yourself depend!

The Greatest Love Of All
Lorraine day Nov 2013
She stands alone in a darkened place
Familiar thoughts of shame disgrace

Consumed with guilt
Self loathing surrounds

The love of self
No where to be found

Self esteem dispersed
Asunder
No hope no dreams
No eyes of wonder

Encompassed by these chains that bind
Her thoughts beliefs controlled by the mind
Her actions governed from deep within
Trauma fear dissociation

A monotonous cycle hard to break
Yet possible
If sound advice you take
Your destruct button must stay on hold
Look deep within your very soul

Your thoughts about yourself must change
To allow harmful  actions rearrange
Take care
A new relationship begin
Persevere don't give in

Reverse your thoughts
Of self
Be kind
Leave
All the hurt and pain behind


Do not stay down
Instead stand tall

(Learning to love yourself)        

Is

The

Greatest

Love

The Narcissist
Lorraine day Nov 2013
He does not think before he speaks
Wounding all with words he meets
A trail of destruction left behind
Oblivious of his dysfunctional mind

Never wrong he's always right
Insecurity is his plight
An enemy to himself within
Everything always about him

No middle ground
No compromise
He'll twist the truth
With articulate lies

His ego grandiose
As he stands tall
His aim to watch you
Retreat and fall
Emotionally void
From the human race
Defiance etched upon his face

Your life now fraught with  pain and worry
As he does never intend to say
I'm sorry

His light
Lorraine day Oct 2013
His silence slowly whispers a calm into my soul
As I kneel before him
I tell him of life's toll
I ask him to forgive
All hatred pain and strife
That's woven in amongst us
He says
I came that you may have life
Abundance was my virtue
Faith hope and love
My aim
Please stay upon this path my child
In you I shall remain
Feed upon the words I left
This is your daily bread
Many will come in my name
Don't let them turn your head
So many are false prophets
Their false doctrine
They will sew
Not by their words
But by their deeds
Their fruits will surely show
If they are ones to follow
Their hearts are filled with love
The way the truth the light of god
Shines through from up above

The greatest gift
Lorraine day Oct 2013
Beneath these skies so much surrounds
The air we breath with darkened sound

Noise from traffic fills the air
Pollution Spewing everywhere

Skeletal frames of the human race
Reflect upon the ground they face

The clock it rules it regulates
It delegates anticipates

No escape no release
An intruder -til our time does cease

Responsibilities scream and shout
Following us til we check out
No where to hide
No where to run
They encroach our freedom
****** our fun

So little time to laugh and play
Not enough hours in a day
Evaluation is the key
Awareness of identity

Our purpose here
Our hopes our dreams
What really matters
What life means

Careful of each step we take
Learning from each mistake

So many things  a desired need
So much waste so much greed

As we walk beneath these skies above


Know -       the greatest gift

Is.

Love

And

Be  Loved

Love
Lorraine day Oct 2013
It only has four letters
Yet no matter who we are
Despite all of our differences
We search for it
near and far

Some don't understand it
They search their whole life long
Others try to reach us
Through their lyrics in a song

Many try to find a way by the giving of the rose
Or  by  the writing of a letter
Hoping that it shows

Our approach when we express it
Should b as gentle as the dove
So pure so light
So clear so bright
So powerful  is....... LOVE
Oct 2013 · 431
The reason
Lorraine day Oct 2013
Sometimes there are storms ahead
They uproot us from the ground
Our clarity of thought distorts
No answers why?
Are found

Our inner core is challenged
Our sole purpose why we're here
These times are sent to test us
In the hope we will draw near

To a greater presence
To which every knee will bow
His love for all mankind once shown
Still
Prevalent to us now

He only asks for us to seek
His love's where we begin
To open up our hearts
And pray that he shall dwell within

Natures voice
Lorraine day Oct 2013
When I walk amongst my garden
Outstretched so far n wide
Each day I see it's nurtured paths
Filled with flowers
Either side

I gaze upon its beauty
As I go on my way
The flowers speak a language
No human voice could say

The colours of the roses
When there in full bloom
The fragrance overwhelms me
With their beautiful perfume

The apple blossom gently falls
Like confetti to the ground
Bird whistles echo
Through the trees
Such beauty all around
Oct 2013 · 469
Moon lit skies
Lorraine day Oct 2013
The light of the moon it beckons me
To gaze upon its face
The midnight sky it's backdrop
As the stars fall into place

There always there
But visible
By darkened skies at night

The Man Behind The voice
Lorraine day Oct 2013
There was a man behind the voice
Who spoke these words I write

God why have you forsaken me!
The sin of man
His plight

The pain endured immeasurable
The suffering the loss

For all of us
He hung up high
To die upon that cross

He performed so many miracles
While he lived for all to see

For these he'll be remembered
For all eternity

But that wasnt his intention
Why he gave his life that day

But rather that we follow him
The truth the light the way

He asked that we renew our thoughts
Unto him -be of like mind

Only then his light -his love -his truth

Can guide us all so blind

Help  them find

Spiritual Liberty
Lorraine day Sep 2013
He prowls around like a hungary lion
Looking for his bait
Be alert of sober mind
Don't let him be your fate

He is the prince of darkness
This is his world of rule
The leader of temptation
Deceit his favourite tool

He's arrogant he's boastful
Satan is his name
His followers the Antichrist
Destruction is his game

The master of disaster
The distributor of fear
Be on your guard
He'd like us all
To believe that he's not here

I used to walk in darkness
His path I walked along
I told fortunes by reading tarrot cards
Then realised this was wrong

Through ouija board I met him
And spoke with his spirits too
He spits deceit to all he meets
Including me and you

His aim is of destruction
Many ways he'll surely find
To annihilate abolish
The  (love ) of all mankind

To all who don't believe in him
Just Look around you'll see
So many in his image

Writers block?
Lorraine day Sep 2013
My crutch is my pen
The paper my foundation
Upon which I write
Life's trials and Tribulation

To express pent up feelings
Is a need a desire
Poetry my passion
Driven to inspire

All fellow writers
Who feel  words
Wont unlock !
They've hit the rock
Called writers block

I've been there too
Once happened to me
So I went for a walk
Took a stroll
By the sea

Or a walk in the park
Should still work fine

Just breath in the air
Clear the cluttered mind

Leading the writer
To again rearrange
A balance once lost
Your mind n spirit

Estranged

Open your mind allow
The flow of your pen

To land on the  page
Let those words dance  once  again ~~~

Love one another
Lorraine day Sep 2013
One day alone just standing still
I thought no one was there
I felt a presence
Then a voice echoed quietly in the air
Hello my name is Jesus
I came that I might save
All the sins of man
For all -my life I gave
I ask that you may follow
In my path I left behind
That you may be my vessel
To lead all of those to find
The right path they must walk on
From the dark into the light
Never will I forsake them
From morning until night
I ask if they will love one another
With passion in between
I left all clear instruction how?

(Read 1 : Corinthians 13.  )

The message ~
Lorraine day Sep 2013
I thought I saw an angel
It was late into the night
Above her head was glowing
I saw a halo shining bright

Her hands were reaching for me
A smile was etched upon her face
I leaned toward her presence
And felt her warm embrace

I asked her why she came into
My room next to my bed
Her voice answered oh so tenderly

"This is what she said"


So many hearts are broken
So many are deceived
So many think there is no god
So many don't believe
So many think this life is hell
They live it every day
So many people are so lost
Please tell them they should pray

If they should seek then they will find
The answers to their plight
No longer plunged in darkness
Rather they will discover light
Please tell them they are not alone
There is somebody there
He will always guide them
Whenever there's despair

His love it has no boundaries
Lift your heads look up above
For he is their creator
Who looks down on them with love

He left his word to guide them
As they go on their way
Tell them they should read It
Every single day

So many believe the evil ones
Have the upper hand
But that's not true
As just like you
Outside heavenly gates
They'll stand

Their life will flash before them
Judgement will prevail
God sees the heart
Though some may repent
Those  corrupt hearts will fail

I promised I would pass on
This message that I write
As i believe it came from god

(Through his angel )

There's many ways to show I love you
So many ways to show I care

Please believe me when I say this
I always will be there

If ever you should need me
Any time of day
Don't hesitate just call me
And I'll be on my way

Sometimes this path of life
Seems like a mountain
We must climb

That is when I'll be there with you
To place your trembling hand in mine

When life deals a card of sadness
Or if your heart is filled with fear

I will wipe those tears away
Your not alone
I will be here

There's so many ways to show I love you
On me you can depend
We can weather all the storms of life

Together~~~~~


I am your friend ~~~~~~

Allow me to paint a picture
That will haunt your Morose gaze

Allow me to know and love you

Unique .* *. *.
Lorraine day Sep 2013
As unique as the snowflake
That falls from heavenly skies

Is how our god has made us
Til we all reach our demise

We til then should learn to love
All our differences embrace
Regardless of religion  -colour
Class or race

So many people fighting
Oblivious to reasons why
So many hearts then broken
Not yet lived before they die

The bloodshed and the hatred
The lack of trust the fears

Was not in gods almighty plan
When blood flows
So does his tears

He left for us instructions
In the hope we'd somehow see
That all the evils in this world
Lead to pain and misery

If we could only realise
Which way we should go
If we looked up to our creator
Instead of this world down below

His love it holds no boundaries
He can reach you near or far
No matter what you've done
No matter where you are

Just ask him for forgiveness
Know remorse and he will show
The love the light so pure so white

Unique

As

Flakes

The hand
Lorraine day Sep 2013
Hands they can build bridges
When too much waters there

A tender touch
A hand to hold can really
Show you care

We use our hands when greeting friends
Again we shake to make amends

Our hands we even use to speak
A child from behind there's will peek

And when a marriage takes its place
We then hold hands
Stand Face to face

When our family's rumbling tummys demand
In the kitchen we welcome helping hands

When charities highlight another's plight
We use our hands to give what's right

A baby's grasp helps us understand
The importance of touch
By the human hand

And as we learn more
Every day
That hand outstretched
Helps guide the way
And when we're older
Like when we're small
Loving hands
They   save   our   fall.  

So significant in all that's planned
(The inspirational)
(Touch of the healing hand ) ....

Let us pray
Lorraine day Sep 2013
One day as I was feeling low
As no one seemed to care
I decided to get on my knees
And say a simple prayer
I didn't hear an answer
As I looked up above
Instead I felt a presence
That surrounded  me with love
I wish I could explain it
To everyone I know
As now that feeling
Stays with me
Everywhere I go
So if your feeling like I did
On that dreaded day
The answer I would like to give
To you
Is kneel and pray

At the other side

An instrument of thy peace
Lorraine day Sep 2013
There's so many paths I've walked along
So many mountains  that I've climbed
So many times that I've stumbled
I've fallen so many times
But now I am ready to listen
As I seek a quiet place
To bow down in your presence
Humbled by your grace
My heart and mind is open
To the acceptance of your love
I ask that you will guide me
In your ways from above
The desires of my loving heart
To this world release
Please use me as your vessel
As an instrument of  thy peace

Alpha Omega
Lorraine day Sep 2013
You are the air that I breath
My calm in a storm
My light in the dark
My right when I'm wrong
My guide when I'm lost
My night and my day
My rock when I'm troubled
My guide who shows the way
My one trusted friend On whom I depend
My alpha
My omega
My Begining
My End
