Hope
Lorraine day Sep 2013
You may have loved- now feel sad
You may not see good- now feel bad
You may feel burdened lost and weak
You may look weary
Unable to speak
You may believe your out of control
Your heart is lost somewhere with your soul
This time will pass
I tell you true
As I once felt
Just as you do
The roads been long
I've had to fight
Lost my ability to paint to write
But once again
You can clearly see
I'm writing again

Yes

I'm finding me.
Been through the most dreaded pain losing my child  - leant on alcohol  to numb everything. Lost my identity job relationships   Well everything that mattered.   Now I'm back on track.  Couldn't write or paint for many years           Just wanted to give hope to any one that feels off track.   There's hope.

Tell ~Me
Lorraine day Nov 2014
If I speak. ~  Will you really listen
If I cry.     ~     Will  you feel my pain

If I fall or even stumble
Will you help me up again

If I get lost in life's confusion
Will you search ~forever
til life's end

Is this love just an illusion
Of two ~who've met
But now depend


Would you climb ~the highest mountain
Or even swim the ~roughest sea
Then make the choice
To spend each memory
Of your life's     time
Here
with me......

What matters?
Lorraine day Sep 2013
If your home is not a mansion

In fact it's really rather small

There's no storage cupboards

Stuff littered in the hall

Carpets looking rather worn

Chairs ripped at the seems

Floor boards loudly creaking

Gaps showing in between

Don't forget it's just a building

Still standing when you go

People won't remember this

Instead they'll surely know

It was how you made them feel
As they were greeted at the door

If you welcomed them with love
Like no other has before

For this you'll be remembered
Doesn't cost much to be kind
A pleasant smile
A gentle hug
Has most impact
On the mind
I took a long time to realise what really matters is how you treat people as this leaves the biggest impression not where you live.   Your impact matters to all you meet negative or positive it affects  !

Remember~
Lorraine day May 2015
Each day is a blessing
Never to return
Another page turned
Til our chapter is done

Each day holds a memory
As our life unfolds
Revealing our journey
Of our lives untold

Each day that we're given
Should be used in a way
Lived like its the last
As we're not here to stay

Speak only with kindness
Show gentleness and care
To those that are lonely
Let them know you are there

Give patience understanding
Whenever you can
Be a shining example
Amongst your fellow man

Do not give to receive
For self credit or gain
Reach out to all
In distress or in pain

Remember~

The reward that awaits
Is of the greatest kind

A heart full of love
And total peace of mind.........

Is it time?
Lorraine day Aug 2013
Where are we going
I ask is it time?
Should you go your way
I go mine
We've reached a cross roads
We're standing still
Now climbing mountains
But somehow
Lost the thrill
No direction
Tired  worn
Forgotten our promises
Our future sworn
Just going through the motions
Have one life
It's mine
So I will now ask the question
Shall we quit
Is it time ??

Upon Reflection
Lorraine day Nov 2014
Problems are the seeds that help us grow

Only by our  mistakes can we learn and know

The things that hurt us and cause obstruction

Can also lead us to  the greatest production........

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

Love
Lorraine day Sep 2013
Love is a small word
Spoken often I know
But it's also
Important to let it show
If there's someone you love
Why not show them today
For love isn't love
Till you give it away

— The End —
