“Deep conversation and gin in hand by candlelight ! “
As quoted by my dear husband!
God bless her soul
Mum passed away a year today,
We played her favourite music as she lay,
At the end of her life,
She was a wonderful mum and a wonderful wife,
She was so kind and caring,
Loving and sharing,
And at the end of her life,
She was so much fun,
Her favourite things were cake and coffee ,
Lots of chocolate but not the toffee,
She was loved by everyone ,
Mum was a beautiful swan,
A wise old owl,
And a most excellent granny,
The grandchildren all called her nanny!
We love you mum♥️🌹♥️
Mum passed away a year today! We played her favourite music Pavarotti, Charlotte Church .....
The cool air
Feels like water to my toes
The sun it out
And brings out the sparkle in Every living thing
The trees, the leaves and the grass
Are being showcased by the sun
The garden is quietly alive with a gentle breeze
Today I think is going to please
it’s going to be a lovely day
I feel it in my bones!
Yet it’s so peaceful and quiet
So calm and relaxed
As everything slowly wakes
The day is dawning
And here it is
A very good morning!
Gorgeous eyes
Windows of the soul
A deep black hole
The colour of coal
Pretty colour iris
green and blue
And speckles of brown
Like a gem
Bright and wide
Clear and kind
Gorgeous eyes
As the day turns to night
I fall asleep
I dream of things
Like angels with wings
Of innocent beauty
Doing their tireless duty
Our Guardian  Angels
Keeping us safe
I do believe
I do have faith
It’s A Guardian  Angels duty
Along with their beauty
caring for us Whenever they can!
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.
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

Its five in the morning,
The day is just dawning,
The birds are singing in the trees,
Its Fresh, its Chilly, I sneeze!
The pollen count is up and out,
Hay fever now, I just don't doubt!
Achooo!
Hello I’ve been looking for you
I don’t know where you’ve been
And I am not knowing
Where you are going
Or what you want to do
But you are to me my child
I am with that beguiled
A mother can only guide
And support you by your side!
Hello from me to all of you
One of the things on my bucket list
I'd really like to do
Is to meet you all I would insist
We'd have a ball and read our poetry too!
Hello Poetry is absolutely awesome! Thank you so so much!
Hey
When I’m old and grey
That isn’t that far away
They won’t be putting me in a home
I’ve decided I will roam!

So off on a cruise, back to back,
Take in the views, eat and snack,
Sit in the sun, have so much fun
Enjoy the shows, anything goes!
I’ll have the time of my life,
Before I die,
There will be no strife,
so don’t even cry!
I’m making the most!
Before I’m a ghost
And enjoy my life whilst I am alive!
Hot
Hot
It’s so hot right now
Sweat rolling down my brow
Can’t complain
We have had rain
But it’s hot again

Oh how nice
It is to have a glass of ice
Ice packs under my arms
Ice packs in my palms

Can’t complain
Had some rain again
Thunder followed To be fair
But it hasn’t really cleared the air

We always desire the sun
But now I desire the cold
Iceland here I come
I’m still hot despite the ice packs that I still hold!
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!
I am a morning person
But there’s a morning person and a morning person
I’m the one who comes later
Five o’clock in the morning is a bit stiff!
Do you get my jiff?
Well I am at that time
Stiff as a board
It takes an hour to loosen up
With a strong hot coffee cup
And a cake,
A cake will help me wake,
A muffin to you
But that will do!
So once I have woken
Raring to go
Take the dog out for her walk
She loves it you know!
And when We get back
My whip I do crack!
Not really!
Dog now asleep!
The little creep!
I clean the kitchen
Do the bins
Put the washing in
For all my sins
Clean the floor
Wash the door
Fill up the dish washer,
And what’s more?
Oh what would I do without you!!!!!
Well that’s my morning !
As I said I’m a morning person
So now I’m back to bed!!!!!!
The rest of the day
Has gone astray!
Husband in bed!
At 40 life began
Went surfing and bought a supra sports car
The fast and furious one
At 45 I remarried a wonderful man
Still together like birds of a feather
At 50 we stayed at Rick Steins , I’m a fan
At 55 I bought a bungalow, yeh I know!
At 60 we had a party to celebrate
To get this far and not be late
At 65 I’m still alive,
I am !
I hear an owl out there
It’s hooting loud and clear
I guess it’s only hunting
I guess that’s why it’s here
I’d love to be able to see it
And take a picture snap
But it’s so very very dark
And my photography is crap !
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!
I drop where I fall
All tethered and torn
Weathered and worn
As an offering To the dawn
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Sleep deprived Stiff and tired
No longer can I show my pride
Unwashed half dressed
Let me sleep I’m not impressed!
5.am agin this morning Moose wanted a walk! I think she’s torturing me! Sleep deprivation! Bless her! Did make her wait until 6am!!!!
I feel I want to write Just now

It’s sunny now after a dull start,
Brightness fills my heart,
The sun uplifts my mood,
I’m sitting here looking at the garden,
Lush green, birds singing, it isn’t just a dream,
The forecast is thunder,
There’s thunder in my soul,
The buttercups are bright yellow,
The Christmas tree is dying,
This has left me sighing,
I need to plant it somewhere else instead,
The holly bushes have gone rife,
But that is of course no strife,
And the bamboo is quite awesome it’s spread and well fed it’s a treat to see,
We have a lot of green
In our garden in-between the
meadow type of grass,
And Within it own best class!
The sun lifts up my mood! Brightens up my mind! Makes me want to smile!
I woke up to the rain
I felt it in my bones
I feel it in my brain

The rain is here to stay
Yet another day of rain
And thunder forecast today

The plants have already been fed
Too much rain now
They’ll End up drowned or dead

Too much of anything isn’t Very good
So they say
And from where I’m stood

Bring back the sun
To warm my bones and brain
And give the plants some fun
Nothing
Not
Nil
No way
No how
Not now
Not never
Not ever
I have nothing
If I don't have you!
Inspired by Whitney Houston song 'I have Nothing (if I don't have you)
I’ve known and loved you for so many years
We’ve had lots of laughter and some tears
We had so much fun Since our friend ship began
I’ll always love you and be there when I can !
I love
I love food!
It makes me feel so good!
I love to go for a walk and a wander!
It makes me want to ponder!
I love to write!
It helps me sleep at night!
I love you!
And all the things you do!
I love life!
And I work right through the strife!
I love my dog!
She makes me want to jog!
I love to dream when I sleep!
Especially when I’m very deep!
I love to love!
It’s very, very nice.
I love you Moose
From your hair on your head
To the tip of your tail
Curled up next to me in my bed
Outside it’s blowing a gale

You stick to me like glue
I know you love me too
With the things that you do
And I love you too!

I stoke your head
And you lick my hand

You lick me
You kick me
You push me out of bed
But I know that you love me
Especially when you’re fed
You’d **** the cat
If he comes near
Jealousy is that
My only fear!
I know you love me too
That I can see
With the things that you do
Or can it just be
As you cuddle up to me
The warmth from me
And the love for you
Which says that I love you
And you love me too!
Back to work!
Oh no, oh no,
Gotta go!
Yes I know,
got used to being at home
back now on the roam
but it wasn't that bad
good time was had
but tired, so tired
Although my brain is back wired!
Good to be hired!
Done my shopping this fine morning
But in my shopping there is a warning!
Chocolate!
Not chocolate no!
Was it me?
They fell into my basket
I’m afraid so
There you go!
Dark chocolate with raspberries
One with mint
One with orange
A Toblerone yes on it’s own
Cadbury milk as well
This is swell!
All in the fridge Nice and cool
For a chocolate binge
I may just drewel !
Naughty girl!
I’m bad!
I’m beat
The heat
But Can’t complain
Beats the rain
Feeling drained
I’m zapped
I need ice
That would be nice
And To chill
Literally at will
But that sun is hot
The air is steamy warm
Just like in Mexico
When we used to go!
But at least there
They had storms
ThT clear the air!
So I’ll jump in the jacuzzi
When I’m not feeling so woozy!
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!
A Road
A street
An avenue
A tree
A leaf
A flower
Each hour
Grow
From
A
Seed
Indeed!
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of rain
All mixed in with a little bit of rhyme
Add a little bit of music
It would be just divine
A little bit of peace
Would just do me fine
A little bit of laughter
Add a little bit of fun
All mixed together
Completed the recipe
And now it’s all done!
My husband makes fun when I say no one wins the lottery they’re all actors
And That’s what I believe
Until I see it  I just won’t believe it!

My kids say I’m a hoarder
My shoulders are broader
I’ll clear up one day

My friends say I try to help everyone and neglect myself and my health
Maybe I should listen to
Them

So I might tidy up
Have a rest
And hopefully win the lottery
But Is it all in jest ??????
And when a friend is truly in need
You take them in and under your wing
Now they’re freed
From the harm
Somewhere safe
Somewhere calm
But beneath it all
They need care and someone to call
Special kind of Support but that’s not all
Emotionally and ****** but it all takes time!
Find yourself a quiet place
To sit down and chill
somewhere safe within
to relax as you will!

Take a deep breathe in
and breathe it out slowly
Relax, calm and peaceful be
have some inner peace for yourself just wholly!

The thing to do next is in what you will see
Close your eyes
and look inside your lids
It will be no surprise, when you close your eyes,

You might just be seeing black
or you may see some colours
Oh I take that one back
You may also see shapes!

Keep breathing in and out
keep very quiet
And do not shout
now what you should do,

is take yourself to a place in your mind
what you will chose I don't haven't a clue
somewhere safe
somewhere for you!

Go to the place of your inner peace
Where wonderful things will never cease
Be kind to yourself
And look after your health

Relax now and let it be.
I give you inner peace to you from me.
Falling in love
Can make me blue
Especially falling in love with you
Its the music and the gin
tends to make me want to sin
but not usual in an ordinary day

It's when my heart calls out for you
I just don't know
why I do
Cos falling in love with you
Would be wrong
Like in Tom Waits song

You belong to someone else
but that's not why I want you
You stood out there
and caught my eye
I saw you look at me I'd die
To have you close to me.
Inspiration from Tom Waits song "I hope I don't fall in love with you"
I'm so inspired from others beautiful prose,
such awesome descriptions they have given
the words they pose
makes life worth living
brightens up even the darkest, dull day
the love in the words they are certainly giving!
please all keep writing is all I pray!
I wish the world would be free
And black and white unite
And simply let life be
And not have to fight

We are the only species on earth
That pray upon each other
From when we come in birth
To when we leave our mother

So stop right now
And think
We should all just vow
To put it all in ink

And make every effort
To live together in peace
Before all our lives just cease
From foes and fights and disease!
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!
It might be raining

It might be raining but it’s a beautiful day
The plants get watered
So what can I say!
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!
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!
It’s a Sunday morning
There’s not a soul about
It’s quiet and peaceful
I don’t hear the kiddies shout
The silence is just wonderful
The stars are still out
The sky is black as night
There’s no sunrise yet
It’s Too early yet alright !
I hear an owl a hooting
He’s looking for a bite
I saw a star a shooting
It’s like the middle of the night
But it is early morning
And theres not a single light!
Everyone’s a-sleeping
Because it’s a Sunday morning,
And so we know it’s quite alright!
It’s black out there tonight
Just like smooth black velvet
The dark is sharp and the air is clear
The night is crisp and cold out there
Nothing can be seen but a blackness
A Nothingness, no more, no less!
It’s black out there!
There’s so much green in our garden
From the willow tree to the bamboo
The apple tree , the holly bushes and the tomato plant
Not to forget the butterfly tree
It’s all celestial to me!
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!
It’s The circle of life

Every living thing is born
On this planet
And every living thing will die
On this planet
We know it’s the circle of life!

An apple pip grows into a tree,
Some giving us apples to eat,
Some sour some sweet
It may live for a while but eventually die,
The animals in the wild are born to live their lives but eventually die,
Our pets come as kittens and pups into our world,
But eventually die
Although we cry
It’s the circle of life

We all come into this world
Be it a bug or a slug or some kind of creature
It’s the circle of life!
The wind gusts and roars
Banging at the doors
Tree branches swinging
What’s the wind bringing
Gates open with force
From a gush of course
The washing is off the line
Hey that’s mine
and it’s off down the road
I’m blowed!!!!!!
I don’t want to leave
This beautiful place
It’s peaceful and relaxing
But I’ve got to face
After our holiday
It’s back to base

Back to reality
Back to home
Back to work
From whence I roam

I wish
Do dreams come true?
For some they do?
After our holiday
It’s back to base
Back to base I have to face!

Back to reality
Back to home
Back to work
From whence I roam
Inspired by this perfect holiday house in Mawnan Smith Cornwall! Just perfect! I want to stay forever here!
I love Jack Frost
He’s cool
He’s kind
He’s cold
He’s Refined

He twinkles on the pavement
Glistening and listening
cold but fresh
But I’m not nesh!

I love Jack Frost
He’s cool
He’s kind
He’s cold
He’s refined!

He kills the bugs
That we don’t want
By freezing them
And seizing them away

I love lack frost
Jack Frost is welcome most any day!
The Wind
Is howling
Like a wolf
The rain
is coming down
in buckets
It's streaming
Down the road
Its cold
Its damp
But why oh why?
It is July!
