Rain can appear in many different guises
Can be welcome, unwanted and full of surprises
Gentle April showers on a fresh Spring morn
Thunderous big drops on a Summers dawn
Blown in the wind on a fierce Autumn gale
A freezing cold Winter when it turns into hail
Creates a stunning rainbow when its playing in the the sun
Or cause a mighty flood when the drops join into one
It can take lives or save them depending on its mood
Wash away a village or help them grow their food
Never underestimate the powers of the rain
It's a force that can't be reckoned with and cannot be restrained

Trees are like humans they need space to breathe
They reach for the skies and spread shade underneath
Ray's of dappled sunshine spill through their boughs
They stand tall and sturdy protecting the house
The green shoots of Spring grow a Summer display
The deep reds of Autumm keeping Winter at bay
When Winter arrives and they are covered in snow
They are secretly preparing for next years show
So just like a human, if you give love and care
They'll keep giving pleasure for as long as they are there

Dear Covid-19, I don't understand
Where did you come from? How did you land?

What are you made of? Why are you here?
The damage is done now, so please disappear!

Everyone's hurting, you've punished enough?
Why do you linger? Why are you so tough?

We've committed no crime, but a sentence we suffer!
You came with such force, and we had no buffer!

You've created a war that we can't comprehend,
Fights for no reason with family and friend

A self isolation we've had to endure
Many hearts broken, please Covid, no more!!

Dear Covid-19, I promise you now,
We will find an answer and expel you somehow.

The rules of golf are simple they said
I listened, it all went over my head
10 Basics of the game, pay attention
Listen carefully to what I mention;
14 clubs in your bag, no more!
It could cost penalty strokes (Rule 4-4)
Play within parameters of the tee
2 shots in stroke play is the penalty
Oh my God, who art in heaven
Don't want to be breaking Rule 11
Mark your ball don't play the wrong 1
Thats a 2 stroke penalty Rule 15-1
God forbid if you break the rules of the green
There's a couple of key rules Rule 17
Rule 13-1 play your ball as it lies
Unless the rules allow you to do otherwise
Unplayable lies could get a penalty of 1 stroke
Rule 28 oh my lord it's no joke
No way back from Out of Bounds
Rule 27-1b only 5 mins to be found!
It's a sociable game, but a solitary one
No seeking advice Rule 8-1
Striking the ball no spoon, scrape or flick
Rule 14-1 don't act like a *****
Score correctly, disqualified if a fix
Make sure it gets signed Rule 6-6
Even the professionals can get it wrong they say
So I packed up my clubs and signed up to Ebay

I sit here drinking whisky
With the lights down low
Soft music playing
Thinking where my life might go
Its funny how my mind works
When I have the time to think
In my own little bubble
Where my head and heart don't sync
I try to peace together
The thoughts that just appear
But my heart keeps taking over
And sometimes the fear
Of what might be my future
And the path I'm meant to take
If my head or heart will win
And praying neither break

The time of our lives ahead of us
Had our good times in the past
But we still have a lot to give
And time goes by so fast

We all deserve a second chance
In love and fun and laughter
To feel the warmth and the sweet caress
Finding happily ever after

Holding hands and stealing a kiss
The feeling of butterflies
To be held in the arms of a lover
And sharing the lows and highs

Hold me tight and kiss me Everything will be alright
Lets make love from sunset to sunrise
Come closer and turn out the light

What is happening to me
Why do I feel this way
Am I getting in too deep
My life is all array
My head is all mixed up
My emotions up and down
I can't work out what's going on
I'm spinning round and round
One minute I am on cloud nine
The next I'm in a storm
I'm caught up in a whirlwind
And my heart is being torn
I find myself just drifting off
I'm in another place
But then I come back down to earth
My heart begins to race
Could it be that I've found love again
Can't be, it's far too soon
But I recognise the feelings
As I lay here in my room
I tingle with excitement
With the buzzing of my phone
Please take things slow I tell myself
I'm in the danger zone
