If I could wish
For anything
It would have been
For you

To give you back
The chance to
Walk
And move
As we all
Can do

But as fate
Had played
An awful
Hand
An accident you
Had

And so sad that
It had made you
You strived on
In such a fearless
way

Showing strength
That made
You shine
every Single day


And people
Talked so highly
Of the
Bravery
You had

You will
Always be
Remembered
And I promise
I won’t
Be sad
Sheila Stafford May 2020
I remember
The time we had
Together
Although so
Long ago

The smile
You had
And laughter too
Such special
Memories

I held you
In my arms
So tight
Never ever
Wanting
To let go

But I knew
One day
You would be gone

And then
That day did come
I had to say
Goodbye forever

As The gates
Of heaven
Came to soon
And took you
Oh too soon

But I remember
That smile
And lots  of
Laughter
memories
I will treasure

Until my life
Is with you

Music
Wow
It takes me on a journey
So profound

Life’s ups and downs
Music
Follows me around
It’s a sound

A Rhythm a
Beat
A feeling that’s
So discreet
I’m in a story
A tale

A musical journey
One that I follow
Through life’s ups and
Downs
It’s like a pillow

It buffers me
With sound
Within a moment
When I lie down

How music
Fills a hollow
Moment

I escape
On my
Musical journey
One that I follow
Sheila Stafford May 2020
Connect
And breath
Life is at our feet

Walk enjoy
What Mother Nature
Has given us
It’s free
To see

Just open up your mind
And open up
Your heart
Love is all around

Believe and you
Will see
It really is so easy
just be
Sheila Stafford May 2020
There are masses of
Dandelions
Along the roadsides
What an array of colour

The rain is coming
The antidote
we need
For spring flowers and trees

The dry rough soil
Will drink
And soak
soften
And begin to breath

A natural skill
Of nature
To adapt
Whenever it needs
Sheila Stafford May 2020
And there it was
So big
And grey
It’s bushy tail
Up high
Did sway

It seems inquisitive
As it pops it’s head over the wall
Looking around
Before running up and down
And picking bits up
From the ground

The window opens
To say hello
It runs away
In fear
Poor thing

It doesn’t realise
We are it’s friend
Sheila Stafford May 2020
We walked
Past slate
And through a gate
And some woods

Around a corner
And a fear
Surrounded me
To see

A cave
So dark
So bleak
And water
Dripping slowly

My head did bow
As I entered
The dark Dismal enclosure

And my heart
Raced
With sheer fear
Of danger

But the light soon shone
In a distance
I wanted
To run

An opening
Of beauty
Within a cavern
Of such age

A wonder
In sight
Viewing the height of
An amazing rock
formation
That left
Me in ore

A destination
I wouldn’t
Have seen
If my fear had
Redeemed
