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!

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!

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!

Life’s not easy
Or Bright and breezy
Cuddly and squeezey
Life’s more sneezy
Hard to pleasey
Often teazey
Constantly wheezey

Life’s quite hard
Often barred
Shown the red card
On your guard
Easily jarred
Some are tarred
Or up the yard!

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

You make me laugh
You make me smile
You go that extra mile
You’re so kind
You’re so sweet
You’re so good to me
You’re my rock
You’re my sanity
You are my everything
You’re everything to me!

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!

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!

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!

Everyday is a ‘Groundhog Day’
We get up in the morning
And go for a walk
It’s just another day

We do the household chores
Just as the day before
We sit relax and have a cuppa tea
It’s just another day

Then shopping and cooking
Magazine and book looking
Sitting and snoozing
It’s just another day!

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.

Listen to the birds
Tonight They’re exchanging lots of words,
With their beautiful bird song
As the sun slowly goes down and the night is not long
And as the air quickly cools
And the sky gently drools
After a lovely sunny day
And as the night comes near
The bats will appear
Flying tree to tree
Across and in front of me
Then the owl starts to hoot
And it’s baby owlet so cute
starts crying
It needs a feed before it leaves the nest and start flying
Hearing the birds
I have no other words
Other than how beautiful it sure is to listen and hear at this time of year.

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

From pink to purple to blue
To green to red
The little lights are a delight
Flashing on and off
Just those little lights
Brighten up our dark dark nights!

You are amazing
You make the sun shine
Warming my heart
You make me feel
So good, so real!

And when the stars are out at night
You make them twinkle shining bright

You are a breathe of fresh air
You have a good heart
And really care!
You are such a good soul
And you’re very loyal!

You try your best to explain
How you feel within
I feel your pain
I understand how you’ve been
But I can’t imagine yet again
What you mean
By living in the past reliving the pain
I wish you’d put it behind, left unseen
And going forward will reign
Like a queen
Before you go insane
It’s obscene
What you’re doing to your brain!

Words can hurt!
Words are powerful things
They can cut you up
And chop you down
And stab you deep inside
And no matter what you do
You want to run and hide!

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!

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!

How lucky am I
As I looked to the sky
Twas five in the morning
Without any warning
I saw a meteorite shower
And again within the hour!

I thought at first
It was a shooting star
My excitement burst
When I realised what they really are

No matter what
What a beautiful sight
How lucky am I
It was a sheer delight!

Shadows on the wall
Orbs floating freely
Ghosts not ghouls
Touched me just nearly

Who are they?
What do they want?

Feeling their presence
I know that they’re there
If only I could help them
I do really care

Is it my family?
Is it a friend?

If only I could hear them
And they hear me
We could talk together
And help them be free!

Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Time
Is ticking
away
each and every day!

How long have we got?
How long can we stay?
Will we have another day?
Will we live?
Will we die?

We are all dying everyday!
Make the most of life
I only pray!
Tomorrow will be
Another day!

Here today,
Gone tomorrow!

Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Time
Is ticking
Away
Each and every day!

Early rise
On a dark dark day
Stars in the skies
But a sky so black and grey

A freezing morn
As breaks the dawn
As a new day is born
Ice on the lawn

Snow on its way
So they say
Tomorrow and today
And there it will lay

It’s so cold out there
Good to stay inside
You can smell the air
So go snug up and hide

It’s the Excitement of nature
When a salmon jumps in the river
When a squirrel climbs a tree
When a gaggle of geese
Fly over me!

And when the stars at night twinkle and shine
As the bats fly by after nine
The night is dark but all is fine
Nature is just so divine!

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!

What’s going on?
You’re so sad
Like it’s the end of the world
But to you that’s not bad
You weep like the willow
And you say
you’re in the darkest place
Where there’s only night
There’s no day
No one knows what the other does think!
Unless they explain or put it in ink!
The sadness is overwhelming
Like a river of mud
And a dark grey sky
It’s not good, and I don’t know why
I’d help if I could
Just please let me try?

Voulez vous?

What do you want?
What do you need?
De moi?

When all I have is love!
To give!
De moi!

Smile it makes one feel the love
Miracles are made of love
It s a special thing is love
Love is all we need
Every smile shows some love!

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!

I’d like to skinny dip in a warm open sea
I’d do that  just for me
I’d like to sit in the snow
In a hot tub you know
I’d like to hug all the trees
In the sun lit forest oh please
I’d like to go where the sun shines
And soak it up with a glass of Sauternes wine
That would be divine
I’d like to go cold water swimming
I think it might be slimming
I’d like to dare and do something brave
I’d like to dance on the dance floor
Like never before
I’d just like to!

I arrived just in time
He was on his way
In his wife’s arms
I wrapped my arms around them both
She was in a panic not knowing
I told her he was going
and was on his way
He finally passed away
it was such a sad day
Happy I could be there
To give my love and care

I dream
Of Living by the sea
It would be heaven for me
Sitting in the window
Having a cup of tea
Watching the waves splash and roll
Looking at the line on the horizon
Dividing the sky and sea
Watching white horses when the sea is rough
And on a hot sunny day
Seeing the azure blue sea
And the deep blue sky
Would be such a treat to an open eye
And to take it all in
I wouldn’t have to try!
Being by the sea
I can hear the waves
And smell the salty sea
Its such a wonderful feeling
A feeling of nature and being so free!

It’s mine
I have long desired
It was meant to be
Just for me
It’s mine

It’s mine
But that’s fine
It’s mine
None else’s
But just for me

It’s mine!

Powerful words
How powerful spoken words alone can be ?
Not to mention written words!
Given the intonation of the words that’s said!
And even How the words
Are phrased, portrayed and paraphrased!
And what their meaning is,
They can be immensely beautiful ,
But they can be very, very sad
And hurtful, even bad!

So think before you say something !
And try to say something nice
Each and every day!
To keep the woes at bay!
And make someone a happy day!!!!!

Why do I get so tired?
It’s not that my brain isn’t wired !
It’s working well so I can tell!
It’s the body, it cant understand I’m not twenty one any more!
I always say at thirty you’re in your prime,
Enjoy your life and you’ll be fine!
Forty they say life begins, I remember for my sins, fast car, surfing the waves, having fun enjoying my days!
At Fifty the aches and pains set in, slowing down and enjoying a gin!
Now I’m in my sixties oh dear, my worst fear, now comes the ails and pales, aches and pains, breaks and bruises, blisters from my shoesies, stiffness and fatigue!
Looking forward to back to back cruises,
I’m not going in a care-home, oh no!
I don’t think I’ll make the eighties though!
Looking forward to retire, slowing down,
and doing just what I want to do or not do!

I’ve always been a patient soul
But with you
It took the toll
My empathy was swamped
The vortex became a hole
And I was falling through
But I have been resurrected
By the many who have helped
And I’m back to being that patient soul
And for you
I’m filling up that hole!

Thought?
What did thought do?
Hmmmm?

My husband says
Stop eating those sprouts
It’s windy enough outside
Without gusts of wind inside

He goes on to say
Hello brown
Are you coming down
The rest room is this way

And he asks
What’s that odour
I do for tell
It’s the cat

A silent killer
An angry gust
Boy the cat
Must eat some rust
