Why do i feel penned in
When there is no cage
No bars to stop me
No one to watch over me
I need to be free , breath the air
Not sure what to do
But my heart will show me
Maybe to somewhere where skies are blue
No dark clouds to follow me
With no emotional doors to hinder me
To a place where i can feel loved
Somewhere i can  feel free .

Do not retreat into the shadows
Stay out in the bright sunlight
Bask in the light of new friendships
Eventually all will turn out alright.
Time will be a factor , time always is.
I know your heart at the moment is saddened
Believe me warmth will re-enter your heart.
One day someone will enter your life
Who you cannot get out of your mind
One who will care and love you ,
And will be thoughtful and absolutely kind .

I need to keep you positive
In these troubling times
Life has to take its course.
All i can do at the moment
Is to be your loyal friend.
Someone who understands what you are going through.
Keep faith in the ones you trust
Don't keep them in the void of silence
Don’t keep them out of the loop.
Because when this chapter of your life is over ,
And a new one about to start
You will lean on their friendship and love
To help you find your path.

When i became a father
I was gifted a set of skills
A gift of love and kindness
That only fathers bring
But something draws me towards you
This never happened to me before
It’s like a magnet drawing me closer
To help you like one of my own
I don't know your past
Always said i would never ask
Maybe one day you will tell me
Why this magnetism works?

Why are people so greedy
Why cant they be kind
Why do they worship money
When money cannot buy you friends
This is why i’m so wealthy
Loving friends i have
I may not have loads of money
But money will never buy the friends i have .

My heart was hurt , lost all at sea
In a storm of emotion that no one could see
I had no choice but to find a sheltered cove
In s harbour of calm that protected me with her love .
Somewhere i could rest , and take time to recover
Before eventually i returned into the arms of another .

I should feel guilt but i don’t
Is it my heart keeping it out
Taking revenge because it was hurt
Or maybe it’s because my heart is so full of love
And wont let guilt play a part ?
