The Stars
The sky was full of stars last night
It was a really an awesome sight
No street lamps lit so twas no light
The stars we’re twinkling very bright
What a treat in the middle of the night!

My nemesis is chocolate
I’m Stoic about my size
You should see how much I ate
My belly’s smaller than my eyes!

Does it really matter
Do I really care

I love a drink of gin
Topped up with ginger ale
It doesn’t make you thin
But here I tell the tale

Does it really matter
Do I really care

I love all of the naughties
But I eat my veg and fruit
And hot buttered toasties
And a glass of Prosecco bruit

Does it really matter
Do I really care

My nemesis is being big
I love my food so much
In fact I’m quite a pig
I know I am of such

Does it really matter
Do I really care!

My favourite food
Is so good
Like smoked salmon and scrambled eggs
A treat

But I also like my fruit and veg
And blackberries off the hedge

A nice big crumpet with butter on
I’m gone
Into oblivion
So delicious

Then the naughtiest come
They fill my tum
Cake and chocolate
Yum yum yum!

I smell a fragrance
Familiar to me
There’s no one around
Except just for me
It’s quiet
It’s dark
It’s calm
I feel a gentle tickle on my arm
But there’s no one there
I can not see
I think it’s a spirit
Trying to talk to me
Someone gone before
But now just passing by!

Romance can be
For all, you and me
Watching the sunset
Walking in the rain and getting wet
Floating together on the river boat
Him giving her his coat
watching the stars at night
Walking on a beach as lovers might
Whispering sweet nothings to each other
Kisses and cuddles under a cover
Going to sleep next to your lover!

I love to sit out at night and watch the stars and the satellite
and wonder if there is another world out there,
A world like ours in a rich, rich green
where trees are are found and fill the ground
where birds are plentiful and sing so sweet
where flowers grow all year through
where there's equal amount of rain and shine
where the rain is warm and the world is free
where everyone and everything is happy
where there is peace and tranquillity
where there is love and care
where everyone looks after each other and everything
where everyone is able to sing
where there is kindness and love
and up above and all around
A land filled with that love is very very grand!

Nothing
Not
Nil
No way
No how
Not now
Not never
Not ever
I have nothing
If I don't have you!

Beauty is from within
Its not the face
that we give grace!

Beauty within is
like innocence and that gentle kiss
like unconditioned love
like a turtle dove

like kindness
like tenderness
like caring and sharing
like a heart they are bearing

like empathy
like love wholeheartedly
like giving
like peacefully living

With beauty within
where there is no sin
from where good things begin
and comes from akin.

Beauty is from within
Its not the face
that we give grace!

You came into this world
After many long hours of labour
A beautiful little face
Looking up at me
What you saw first was me
Your granny
You cried a healthy cry
Telling us you are alive
And the first thing you heard was me
Your granny!
I’d seen babies born before
But this baby
I surely do adore!
Because I am your granny!

I tried
Oh how I tried
My patience
Is running thin
My empathy
Is done in
I’ve cried
Banged the dishes
Kicked the bin
I’m done in!

At the Christmas market
And on a stall
We met a beautiful lady
But sadly that’s not all

Her sadness overflowed
Affected by the war
Her family still over there
And Her distress she did share

We bought some things for the Christmas tree
We gave her a big hug and kiss
And said we would pray for her
And her family of whom she miss

So God please help her and all her family
Protect them as they go
Help all those poor people
Burdened with the war

The cold strong wind blows
Freezing my fingers and my toes

It’s chilly out there
It’s Very early morning
Or middle of the night
Even before the sun is dawning
It’s chilly out there but beautiful and bright
Everywhere is very white
Glistening and sparkling
A heavy frost and ice
Slippery, slippery but very, very nice!
The sky is clear
There’s a full moon shining so bright
The stars are all out
Twinkling up there in the sky tonight!

I’m a busy bee
As you’ll see
Walked the dog
Had a jog
It was nice out but very windy and cool
And as a rule
I pick blackberries enroute for a pie
Even when they start to die
The juice
A truce
All over my hands and face
Messy me as you see
Home what’s more
Mopped the floor
Oh there’s more
Washing in
Dishwasher on
Cleaned out the cat litter
Emptied the bins
For all my sins
And the morning is is only just dawning
Time for a rest
Back to bed with breakfast
Scrambled egg and smoked salmon
Washed down with a cup of tea
That’s me!
Busy bee!

You know
We went for a walk in the snow
It was slippy, sloppy and wet
It’s not quite Stuck not yet
We got home
From our roam
And the snow flakes
Started falling again
Big fat fluffy flakes
The ones that makes
The snow stick on the ground
And outside there wasn’t a sound
So quiet, so white,
Daytime now not night
With the white of the snow
It looks pretty and bright
I love the snow
Now you well know
I love to watch the pretty snow
Flakes fall
And land on the ground without a sound
Everything is white
What a delight!

Never judge another soul
If you do they’ll judge you too
Never say you’re better
We’re all the same
It’s not a game
We’re born with nought
And with no doubt
We’ll die with nothing too!

I need sleep
We all need sleep
Sleep is wonderful
Dreaming is better
Look at the story
The narrative of life
We sleep and dream
Of things unseen
All mixed up
With a bit of this a bit of that and the a bit of the other
Sleep is a need
And we all need sleep!

Art
Comes from the heart
That’s the beauty of art it
Comes in forms and features
From anything even creatures
Comes is writing
Helps with the lighting
Comes in pictures
Some famous some are riches
Comes in pics
Quite a mix
Comes in painting
Gets a rating
Comes in form
There’s no norm
Comes in places
Comes in faces
Comes in time
Comes in a glass of wine
Art
Is from the heart!

I love the way you look at me
And the way you snug up to me
You are so special to me
Especially when you cuddle me

I love the way you wimpier
When you have a dream
And your little legs are moving
When you’re fast asleep

And when you jump up
When I leave the room
And when I’m trying to brush up
You run off with my broom

I love the way you listen to me
Your head goes side to side
And when I say walkies
You’re ready by my side

Power of positivity

The power of positive thinking is positively perfect,
When things start to succeed and everything is successful ,
When you have belief and you believe it will happen ,
And you’re sure it surely will!

Poetry is the cake of life
The words are the nourishment
Rich and delicious
As we gently devour
Them, Keeping us fed
Hour by hour,
It’s all in our head
The taste is so good,
A satiety it’s said
Like a nice chocolate pud
Or a sponge cake velvety red
A delicious torte
Or Black Forest gateau
And a glass of port
Words and cake I can devour
Hour by hour!

The west got it worst
The wind was really cursed
Damage and destruction
A threat to life they say
Seventy miles per hour
And that was yesterday !

Life is beautiful
The creativity of creatures is amazing
from the insects to the birds to the fish and mammals of the world
The colours and the hues
Big and small
I love them all
Life is amazing
We’ve just got to use our senses
To appreciate what there is
From sight, smell, sound
In the air, on the ground
Everywhere and all around
Life is beautiful!

A beautiful white feather floated down
to the ground
Means there’s a spirit somewhere around
It came from an angel I do believe

It’s beautifully fluffy and white
But there were no birds around tonight
I picked it up, it was soft and light
I will keep it, it’s only right!

Don't let the sun shine down on you,
Don't let the rain wet you through,
Don't let the world bring you down,
Don't let trivia ruin your life,
Don't let the little things get to you!

Put on your wings
embrace all your feelings
get ready to fly
and float in the sky
like an angel above
and spread all the love!

Rain Again
         Rain drops falling
             Just the same
        Tapping at the window
          Tippling on the roof
       Splashing on the decking
       And here’s the real truth

                Rain
                Rain
                ­Rain
                Brain
                Drain

               ­ Rain
                Rain
                Rain
              Go away

We’ve had enough today!
               This week
               This month
               This year
               We would say!

When the earth moves
The body tingles all over
Like when the earth quakes
The body shakes
An explosion of organisms
The body breaks
And when it reforms
And the earth remakes
And the earth now feels good
A climatic experience felt
Making your body just melt!

A cell
It splits
It grows
into a life
Who knows
Depends
On
What life
It will be
An animal or species or
A human like you and me!

I’m so so cold
The chill is pearcing
There’s a shiver inside of me
My skin feels like it’s burning
The door is open
On comes the granny blanket
I’m snuggled up now
But I’m still cold
I feel the cold a creeping
Up and down my skin
I’m afraid to go a sleeping
Afraid of what I’ll let in!

Baby animals
And little tots
I have lots of soft spots
They’re so cuddly
They’re so cute
soft and gentle
Sweet Innocence
Their smell is a delight
Cuddle when they cry at night
Feed when the need feeding
Love when they need love
Appreciate whilst they’re so little
As they all grow up overnight!

Take me to the open sea
Where I can float
In the upmost glee
Where dolphins play
And the calm deep blue sea
encompasses me
Where pretty coloured fishes swim
And jelly fish just float by
From the corner of my wary eye
Turtles swim intrigued with me
The clear water
Shows me the depths
Where under me there’s so much more
So much to see
In the deep deep
Beautiful Briny sea

In an anxious world
Stop and Try take a deep breath
as you count to ten
Block those anxious thoughts from your mind
Say the words calm, relax, and peace
Take time out and rest
Go somewhere quiet and somewhere safe
Get comfortable in a place
Take slow deep breathes and calm
Close your eyes and rest your arms
Look inside your eyes and see colours or just black velvety
This anxiety you will crack
Just don’t worry you’ll come back
Relax and rest it’s not a test
Take your imagination to a nice safe place
A beautiful beach with soft white sand and the sun shining through with a gentle breeze or a gorgeous garden where it’s always warm and sunny where you can smell the roses and the beautiful flowers where you can sit on a bench and relax for hours
Or a forest full of beautiful trees and the sunlight shining through
Whatever you want
You just do!
Visualise and take time to enjoy
Make this your safe place
When there’s trouble
You have to face
Do it with grace !
Get yourself to your safe place!
Close your eyes
Hypnotise!

May ......
May the owl give you wisdom,
May the magpie give you luck,
May the dove give you love and peace,
May the flowers give you perfume,
May the trees give you shelter,
May life give you what you wish!

The beautiful guitar music is playing
making me so entranced
while my heart is saying
my head is swaying
I just want to start praying
so thank you for the music
its so beautiful to hear
makes me shed a tear
and I can play it again year after year
As long as I am still here.

You’ve just gotta find it
It’s there
That's a good feeling
And share

You never let me down
You’re there
That’s a good feeling
Now share

You make me feel happy
We’re there
That’s a good feeling
Now share.

All about me

It’s all about me
I used to live by the sea
But I miss it now you see

I miss the sound of the waves
Crashing against the rocks
I miss the kiss of the sunshine
Shining down on me

I miss the sand between my toes and a paddle in the sea
I miss the peace and quiet
And all that it could be

I miss the little stream
Trickling over the pebbles and rocks
I miss the sound of seagulls
Even in their flocks

I miss the wind blowing through my hair
Whilst walking on the beach
I miss the white horses but they are out of reach!

White shiny teeth
Bright sparkly green eyes
Black velvet coat
Curled up claws
Pointy black ears
He has no fears

Sneaks out at night
Seeking his prey
Crosses the rooves
Both night and day
Hides around corners
Ready to pounce

His long white whiskers
Make him look a samurai
So we called him Sam
The cat on the cam!

Words can be powerful
And mean what they say
But words that are used
Can only be in great honesty

Thank you for the words
And what they’re bringing
Put the words together
And you’ll hear someone singing

But words from fiction
Can only just be
Not really meant
To you and to me

Thank you for the words
And what they’re bringing
Put the words together
And you’ll hear someone singing
