The Body
The body is a vessel
The heart is the engine
The mind, you will find is who we really are
The skin is for protection
The bones are for *******
The blood is the fuel
That keeps the body alive!

Vermin
The vermin
Come out at night
Destroying everything in sight
They don’t care
They know they won’t get caught
No matter how much we have fought
There’s no respect
Nothing will protect
Us
against the vermin!
A chocolate bar
No make it two
A Nutella jar
Shops own will do
A chocolate cake
Or brownies, make it a few
Chocolate muffins to make
Now comes the Gin
Of course it’s a sin
Try some dry ginger
It works like a ninja
Ice cream won’t go a miss
I’ll take two of this
Give me chocolate truffle ice creams
And I’ll give you a kiss!
Shopping done let’s go on the...........!
Sorry I felt like doing a daft one! I’m a chocoholic for if you didn’t know!

Aye yes me
aye yes me

Went for a walk with Moose in the rain
Anyone would think we’re going in sane
Now we’re home we can dry off
Doesn’t help with my cough
My back does ache
I need some cake
Back to bed warm and cosy
With a nice hot chocolate
Under the duvet all snug
as a bug
Yes I aye me
Done for the day
I’d say!!!!!!
It’s an horrible wet day!
February!!!!! Until I broke my leg I used to walk my laphapoo ! She’s gorgeous! Well she walked me!!!! Didn’t matter what the weather! Hopefully soon we can do it again ! 9 weeks today!!!! Airboot off next week!!!!!

The Past
The past may be gone
But it’s still here
In our memories
Memories so dear
They are good
They are fun
They make us laugh
They make us cheer
And everything we’ve been through
Especially good
The memories are here
As we shed a tear
Of laughter
We had fun
In the sun
And when the day was done
We had more fun
It’s not the past
It’s the memories that last!

I pray

That everyday
Will be a good one

I pray
That there is hope
For everyone

I pray
That love is there
For every soul

I pray
That everyone
Has a good day

Every day!

Tired
Eyes sting
Tiredness comes over
Hissing in the ears
I’ve had for years
Time to sleep
Oh no time to rise
Waking up tired
As I sighed
Another day
Another day at work home tonight and a lie in tomorrow! Thursday is my zombie day! No work just rest and play! 3 hour journey home ! 2 days a week is enough at 65 winding down to retirement!

Just another Sunday!
Took Moose for a walk 06.00 in the morning,
As the day was just about dawning!
It was dark, but fresh!
Just another
Sunday morning up in the dark!
Think I’ll take the dog for a walk!
Hey what a beautiful day!
Owls were hooting there in the trees! Pheasants squawking oh really please! Joggers jogging but I’m on my knees! Making my way back as I sneeze!
Home at last and back to bed!
To rest my weary,  tired head!

Sleep
Sleep is just awesome
A well deserved rest
We all need some
So we feel at our best

Insomnia is a problem
Of getting no sleep
So frustrating and sublime
You end up in a heap!

The Stream
The water trickles
down the stream
through the pebbles
its quite a dream
it twinkles and sparkles
when the sun shines through
between the trees
of the forest view
pitter patter splash into the stream
when the rains come down
And when its cold and there is snow
it freezes over don't you know!

Sleep is a need
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!

I tried
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!

Don’t you go!
Snow
Don’t you go
I love your white flakes
Because it makes
A beautiful scene
So serene
68 · Dec 2020
It’s chilly out there!
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!

RD to P
It started with an RD
Reveal device
Then it went to a P
Pacemaker
But it keeps you alive
My dear
To lose you
Is my only fear
I need you another year
More I do implore
So keep that heart beating
And stay with me for sure!

Just find it!
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.

Life is beautiful
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!

Me!
Me!
Somebody told me I should write for myself because writing for others is a lie
but That would be telling all I sigh
So I’ll start with how I feel
And how I deal With My feelings
I try my best to look at life in a positive way
That helps me through my day
I try to give everyone a fair chance
By trusting them
But again and again
They give me pain
Nothing is what it seems
I wish this was only dreams
I’m naive in my nature
And this I never learn
I’m a simply person
With a generous kind nature

Not Solid
Nothing is solid
But everything is jellied together!
And nothing stays the same!
So what really is life’s aim?
What have we got to gain?
We are all vibrating Molecules vibrating At a different speed and time !
Even those who mime,
And these thoughts are also mine,
As in the celestial prophecy they explain what it’s all about!
We’re in we’re over and we’re out!
In life and death I have no doubt!
Life is but a mystery!
With scientific history!
Life baffles me! We are but here a short time ! Fascinating!

Little n’s
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!

Good Grief
Good grief
The sky
Oh my oh my
Is so grey today
Looks like it’s going to burst
And shoot golf ball hail stones
at our bones
Or least of all sleet
Or snow …. More neat
But there’s a glimmer of hope
As it sails on by
And now the sky is blue
But the wind
Cuts like a knife
Freezing cold
Minus 3 I’m told!

LIFE
Life's too short and precious,
Do we really try to enjoy
the beauty of life were given?
Like a walk outside when its cold as ice
the sun is shining its so very nice,
You feel so invigorated and so alive
it helps us to carry on and survive,
Like looking up at the stars
on a dark clear night and the beauty
and peacefulness is a sheer delight,
Like enjoying the silence
when all is still
its better than taking any pill,
Like appreciating the wonders of the world
giving us so much pleasure and peace,
Makes the love in our hearts simply just increase!

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!

j’aime vie!
I love life!
That’s me!

Happiness
Be Happy

Happiness

Happiness is a state of mind
To yourself please be kind
Give yourself permission to be
Feeling good and being Happy !

Happiness is feeling good
It’s your right and so you should
Like seeing the sun shine
And Drinking a glass of wine!

Doing your favorite thing
Having a laugh and sing
Dancing to happy sounds
Playing with your favorite hounds!
Be happy, laugh, smile, enjoy life. Love Theresa x

My Nemesis
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!

Freeeezzzing
It’s freezing out there today
Nought degrees is what they say
Wrapped up warm hat, coat and wellies on
For a little walk with my Moose so sweet
Making it short so frost doesn’t bite her feet
We agreed time to go back
The cold we just could just not hack
My toes were froze
And so was my nose
Her bare feet on the thick sparkly white frost
Made her move more quickly like a ghost
Onwards home
Into the warm
Hat on head
But back to bed!
Moose is my baby ( dog)  Bijon cross with a poodle

Your sanity
No one knows what another is
Thinking
Feeling

Unless

In their duress
They tell you

But sometimes what they are
Thinking
Feeling

They can’t describe
Or they have to hide

So out comes
The happy face

You hide your pain
But there’s nothing to gain
It becomes profane
As you go insane

So tell me now
What you are
Thinking
Feeling

So I can help
So I can be there
So we can share
The burden of what you’re  
thinking
Feeling!
My husband is struggling with his mental health and physical health bless his soul! But mental illness is so so common! The best medicine is to talk to someone! Don’t be alone!

No one knows
No one knows
As your love grows
What another is thinking
With whom you are linking
But all said and done
Be honest with the chosen one
If you want to be understood
And for it to become good
And find out if it’s mutual
And if there’s a futual
Love and let love
Be there
If you care
And share!

guitar music
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.

Covid
It’s in my neck
Oh what the heck
It’s a pain
A lump grown bigger
Then go and figure
Can’t see it
Can’t free it
Covid puts a stop
To any kind of op!
Covid seems to be responsible for longer hospital waiting times consultations, scans and check ups! It doesn’t care!

My Apple trees
From a tiny seed
Came a plant indeed
An apple tree
maybe two
Each day they grew
It started with the pip
Popped up
And popped off
The stalks grew
The leaves popped out
The little plants
Began to sprout
Apple trees are on their way
To grow and mature every day
Until they’re mature
To produce their fruit
And give me more and more
My apple trees I do adore!
Love one another
Friend foe and lover
Compromise and Meet half way
Hopefully you’ll see another day
Pray For those who go astray
Help Those who have misfortune
Listen To those who are low
guide those who don’t know which way to go
Feed those who are hungry
The list is endless
Just think what you can do
Help those in need
Is all that we can do
To make a better me and make a better you
And the world will be a better place!
64 · Oct 2024
Love you
When I’m dead and gone
“I want to come back as a dog in your house”
Is what my man would say
Comfortable warm and cosy
Walked, fed and loved every single day
Cuddles, kisses and lots of games to play!

Take me to the sea
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

Just stop
All this fighting and killing should stop
This day and age there is no need
Why can’t they just from the top
Discuss, compromise agree to disagree is all we plead
We don’t like to see people bleed
It’s all about greed
They’ll never succeed
Let the innocent be freed!
Stop this unnecessary fighting
Or you’ll all be hit with lightening!
All we want is peace
Let now the fighting cease!
We just need world peace

Its sleeting
The rain has gone to sleet
It’s coming down a treat
Adding to the snow
Very soggy now you know

It was slippery out the other day
But now it’s slutch and the kids can’t play
No more snowmen to be built
It may just freeze so get under your quilt

On a Rock
I wrote his name up on a rock
and in came the sea and washed it away
I went right back, next day and then I took stock
I  wrote it again anyway, then came in the tide
So I had to run and hide,
Because the sea started chasing me for writing on a rock!

Cello music
Deep and creamy
Firm and dreamy
music for the soul and heart

warm and deep
sending you to a gentle sleep
dreaming of black velvet

a swan on a lake
Like a rich chocolate cake
relaxing bound and resting soundly.
Music is the food of life!
I thank thee for the sun
It brightens up the darkest day
I thank thee for the rain
It feeds  trees plants and flowers in our terrain
I’m grateful for it all
The wind may call
We have it all in our summer

But in the winter
I thank thee for the snow
Because you know
I love it so

An Autumn breeze is so nice
When the golden leaves just show
And when they drop
A carpet of golden leaves will grow

But spring is beautiful
When the little lambs are born
Bouncing in the fields
Together but never fore-lawn
63 · Jul 2020
Don't
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!

Back to nature
Our garden is as natural as nature belongs
We hear those beautiful birds singing their songs
The butterflies come and visit the budleigh tree
That is wonderful to look at and to see
My apple tree is full of bloom
The apples will be coming quite soon
And the bamboo is vast
Hope it will last
The weeping willow tree
Is enormous but precious to me
The garden is a meadow
Full of lovely pretty weeds and flowers
You can sit and just look for hours and hours
The holly is beautiful and spreading a treat
There’s lots of bird feeders and food for them to eat
Our natural garden sure is beautiful to see
With the birds and the buzzy bee
Any day of the year
And even More when the sun does appear!

It’s a sin!
Give me the peace within
I ate a whole box of chocolates
And that is a sin
Regret
In a sweat
So I’ll walk twice as far in the morning
Briskly whilst I’m yawning
Orange matchsticks
Milk chocolate and crunchy pieces of orange
They were delicious!

Wet
Wet
The sky was black this morning
As we ventured out as the day was dawning
Thick frost underfoot but that was expected
We did not know what was a pending
Out of the black came ascending
Enormous rain drops falling from the sky
Like the heavens had been opened
And Mother Nature was having a cry
Soaked to the bone
we went home
Dried off with a towel
And back to bed under the quilt
I had Walked the dog so I have no guilt
We snuggled up nice and warm
A happy dog ( my baby) and a happy mom!
Safe and warm and now back home!

Early morning
An early morning walk with Moose
Its fresh,  its so nice
Calm and cool and quiet
An ultimate delight
Except for the birds in the trees
The butterflies and the bees
The birds tweeting excitedly
And then a gaggle of geese fly over me
What a joy to see
The pigeons are hooting
In the distance I hear pop shooting
Nobody about, not a living soul,
Just Moose and me
Its just sheer glee!

Freezing
The ground was all iced over this morning
They say it’s nought degrees
The sky was red and beautiful
but to dread,
red sky in the morning is said
to be a warning
But no puddles just ice
Nice
The pavements were all twinkling
such a beautiful sight ,
Jack Frost has been busy all night!

I’m sitting waiting
I’m sitting here
I’m waiting
Have no fear
I am creating
I never do just nothing
If I’m not reading I’m writing!
But I’m sitting here
And waiting!

Not right!
I feel that uneasiness
The plethora isn’t right
Like when something is going to happen
Sometime in the night

There are people close to me
Who are not very well
That feeling I have and I can see
Somethings a foot I can tell

There’s a deep dark sadness
Deep within my heart
Something not right I guess
Well I’ll play the part

I’ll wonder and wait
Then I’ll see my fait!
