Not now
Warren-Johnson May 2017
How awesome it was, for She held my heart!
From the minute we met I couldn't hold back, I had no boundaries!

Oh she held my heart !

With sweet passion filled ******* so Hot, we could fire up a thousand foundries!

Oh she held my heart oh yeah!

She has Beauty she has! And wows all in her day!
With a ravenous smile, I just can't resist!

Oh she held my heart oh yeah!oh yeah she did!

I sit here pondering with all that's passed why does this feeling persist ?

Trouble I see it so clearly at times, with greatest of fears I have to admit!

She held my heart and how awesome we were!

Even with sheer stubbornness and greatest of will!

Thing is she held my heart and SO does still !

The increments of success
Warren-Johnson May 2017
The true measure of success, pure life with family a-glow
Children's laughter and happiness a-flow

Sorely not the house we buy or rent
A humble life, with no anger to vent
Forget that prayer sent for wealth n prosperity yet
A life of true smiles all round, our sans pareil!

Love hurts? No!
Warren-Johnson Nov 2017
Love hurts, no way
How can it?
Love is of God
Love is all things good
Love is all things pure

No
It's us
We hurt
We hurt to love
To be loved

It's us that hurt each other
But not in love
No in love we don't go and break another's heart
In love we don't betray
In love we don't forget the greatest love ever!
Gods love for us!

No
Love can't hurt us!

It can do far more
If we allow,
It can heal
Make us whole

I hurt to love
Be loved
Every day
And I know I am loved
Every day

So are you you may not see it or know it but you are!

Fair game
Warren-Johnson May 2017
Love you as a person
a bubbly one yeah
I Adore you as a friend.
Heard your stupid comment
Which I take with much lament

oh you sent him a friend request on fake book, he's gonna stalk you hahahaha giggle, snigger  

So if I'd show interest in any pretty lady I'd be a stalker?

Well no! for after you I realize, you can't ****** me in the bedroom, I'd be the master there!

"Oh yes I'd found great pleasure!
Great passion and flair"
Don't we all enjoy being the best at something?  

Life's full of up's n downs and many a costly fare!
Which in your case led my heart to care!

But you be very folly, if that's what you think of me there!

Yes I now I realize why I put those barriers there!
And even more now!
For you'd need to ****** my mind!
To get my heart ever in a bind!

Oh if I showed interest,
I'd be not a stalker!

No this I can say without any shame!
I'd be not a stalker!
I'd be Fair game!

Those lyrics hurt so true!
Warren-Johnson Oct 2018
A country singer strums his guitar as his lyrics leave me swallowing lumps!

“ Sitting in the dark all night fighting shadows,
And the urge to call you up hits me like an arrow.
It ain't the whiskey talking or the loneliness I'm feeling.
It's the memories, all the little things, that keep me from healing.
I'd give up all the days I got left on this earth,
'Cause without you I don't know what they're worth; no.
I'd give it all for you, if you'd let me.
This heart don't have a home without you in it; no.
I'd stand before you, as a man who's been broken.
Truer words never spoken.”

Yeah as if from my pen and only him singing!
I said it before but I can’t help this feeling!
But love you!
I always will!
Happy not just a state of mind, for it be a place
Oh so much so it’s a place, a time, a destination and a goal
It be where we should reside

When you walk into my home I want you to feel it!
When you look at me my heart will show it! For happy is where my heart resides!

Happy I need for me first!
If those that hearts are set in unhappiness they need know it remains their choice!

My Happiness is mine! no one else can steal it or navigate it!
I am the captain of this ship!

Oh happiness is mine!
I own it’s title deed

As a lush garden I aim to keep it in bloom!
So who ever should visit even a fleeting moment in my life! Should know happiness be mine!

We stand stronger if alone!
Warren-Johnson May 2019
We live our lives in trust
Give out our heart to many
To Friends, family, loves colleagues and many others
But truly only few who deserve us
And the many who take for granted and just use us
They lay rot to our hearts
Stealing away our ability to eagerly give lovingly

An innocence in trust fueled and blinded by love for them
A beautiful trait mostly?
Or a weak flawed character?
They tarnish our hearts as if leaving blemishes that slowly turn into stone!

No weak we are not being of pure heart and lovingly give thereof,
It be thier character that’s weak
We need know there demure
So for them we can turn those stone blemished hearts to their court

But need not allow  ourselves to be less for our hearts we can keep pure and true!
We will often run to their aid but call on them and  you will age waiting!
It be only a few who hold out hearts true!
Stand strong and alone you will know who you can rely, when absolutely necessary!

Don’t miss a moment to praise those  
For those truly worth
Love, a true accomplishment worth bragging about,
let them know and sing Their praises!
They be not to be labeled that tarnished name, (friend) no they hold a far greater unsaid name boasting in our hearts, love!
For the handful at most they be
They be of us! and our own!
Happy not just a state of mind, for it be a place
Oh so much so it’s a place, a time, a destination and a goal
It be where we should reside

When you walk into my home I want you to feel it!
When you look at me my heart will show it! For happy is where my heart resides!

Happy I need for me first!
If those that hearts are set in unhappiness they need know it remains their choice!

My Happiness is mine! no one else can steal it or navigate it!
I am the captain of this ship!

Oh happiness is mine!
I own it’s title deed

As a lush garden I aim to keep it in bloom!
So who ever should visit even a fleeting moment in my life! Should know happiness be mine!

For the True

What is success
Warren-Johnson May 2017
We live these busy lives filled with stress
Fueled by the lies of what they call success
Be it a Lamborghini or Ferrari or even far less
We pick up on others visions, to which we aim our happiness

But, that be the true key to our success
Yes happiness
Our own true happiness
Only real key to success

Lives not on a key ring for
Or any other thing

How can I say this?
Because I've come to realize it only lies within!
So we lead these lost lifestyles, filled with lavish sin
Only to feed that monsters savage evil grin
Most importantly what I hope to achieve befofre im laid in the soil
If you want true happiness first find it in the one thing money cannot toil,

How I wish I'd seen this right from the start!
Oh yes true happiness, is only in your heart!

Getting there! oh I'll succeed!!

WHISPERING SECRETS ?
Warren-Johnson Jul 2017
They by no means should be!

Yeah

But it's what our lives become!
That awesome unity we once called us❤️
We lead these busy lives forgetting how dear it is!
Truth is is in that survival and need to provide we almost loose that so precious to us, and sometimes sadly do!
As cat Stevens sang~
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not.

How apt lyrics are to our hearts desires, some never expressed
But none the less.
But I need need to write my own!
Providence sang~ "My Dream Is You"
I write from deep within and my closet lyrics so apt ~
"My dream is us"
Yet we pass each other by
On life's busy road with little action taken and given even less fuss!
So I'll write you a love sonnet
Maybe with a bit of a dare
I'll muster up the courage
And even share
Oh yes in a perfect world
My dream is us
I'll shout it out
No more I'll let us pass each other by!
Our love won't just be another whispering secret
Oh no!
I'll shout it out!
No roof tops high enough!
This is real!
This is love!
This ain't a bluff!!!!!
Yeah my Dream is us!!!
Warren-Johnson May 2019
To prosper in life, for many would mean,
Wealth
Status
Career
And so the list will stretch on!

My hearts desires achieved would they also not deem me prosperous?

So to be me the true prosperity be,
My faith to show fruits of what i'd love to achieve for my Jesus!

My family bond
Hearing I love you
And saying it often too
Our loved ones gladness in hearing from us, wow it be paycheck never turned down!
Knowing my love is endeared and never taken for granted! I love true and with all I am!
Often leading to heartache!
That be a thing of the past in my hearts prosperity!
For my hearts prosperity would be for ever and true!, And only written in love
With a bit of faith I am certain, Gods path for me will be a prosperous one indeed!
Happy not just a state of mind, for it be a place
Oh so much so it’s a place, a time, a destination and a goal
It be where we should reside

When you walk into my home I want you to feel it!
When you look at me my heart will show it! For happy is where my heart resides!

Happy I need for me first!
If those that hearts are set in unhappiness they need know it remains their choice!

My Happiness is mine! no one else can steal it or navigate it!
I am the captain of this ship!

Oh happiness is mine!
I own it’s title deed

As a lush garden, I aim to keep it in bloom!
So who ever should visit even a fleeting moment in my life

Should know happiness be mine!

2:am at McDonald’s drive through
After a night out on the town
We found him, Jacobus,
a sorry sight! To say the least!
Ripped our hearts apart he did!
A baby in most parents eyes
He looked 15
Probably a fib in saying he is 17
No shoes on his feet
Recycling cool drink cans
To earn a living
A family of 3 living in a box
On a vacant lot
So we got him in our car
The love of my life ran up to the apartment.
We fashioned him with shoes n socks
A jersey and blanket!
And 3 times in cash of what a good days recycling can bring.
Reluctantly given not knowing where it shall be spent?
Not welcoming this child in for we can’t risk him returning with his dad or the likes!
Desperate people do desperate things!
None of this consoles my soul
No child should be subjected to life as such!
Fending for two adults collecting recycling materials in the early hours of the morning, to get the best out of the trash we discard!
He will probably be Back on the street shortly after we left him at the vacant lot
A footpath through the overgrown bush
The last we saw of him.
A child should be guided, a mentor to ease his path into this cruel world!
How often we take so much for granted
Complaining with a need that cant truelly  be justified!
No, I appreciate that now!

I can’t leave this there! how I don’t know but, a difference in this child’s life I have to make!
I know I can’t save every homeless family.
I know !
But God would not have led my path past this child without cause!
A route I am yet to define!
However a real chance he deserves!
So pray, all of faith, I ask!
For my choice of action
Is seek his guidance
For I know it’s his task set for me!
I’ll be on my knees
In appreciation for what I have
In hope for this poor soul

Pray I ask!
For there be more power in prayer than we realize!
Oh
Pray please do

THE REAL BASILISK
Warren-Johnson Aug 2019
Reckless and ruthless
Like a pit filled with vipers
They lash out
At most far more brutal!
These vicious serpents have no match!
For there be no blade as sharp as the toungue!
Slicing our hearts to shreds
Or demoralizing our souls so we could wish against existence!

Astonishingly they be the the kindest at times
Even Producing melodious harmonies
Or swooning our hearts as if sweat nectar to taste

But give them a chance and they will show you severe agony and pain!

Beware of the tongue
For you have one too!

My life I give unconditionally unto You!

In awe I stand!
For You gave Your all,before I was!

A love beyond all understanding!

In return my heart be won, and forever Yours!

JESUS

The flame in my life’s lamp!
Through him I shall shine!

Oh thank You Father!!

Amen

Happy not just a state of mind, for it be a place

I only had to look
Warren-Johnson Jun 2017
You awesome
I see you!
Although thousands of miles apart!
That only be distance
I'd walk
Without a doubt!
Or any other fear!

I see you for your truth
For I only had to listen
I see you for your integrity
For it taught me some of mine
I see you for your beauty
For I only had to look
I see you for your worth
For I only had to think
I see you for your love
For I only had to feel
I see you for your heart
For I see how yours melts mine
I see you for your souls glimmer
Even if, I only got a smile

WOW

I SEE YOU

My undeserved Lifeline
Warren-Johnson Aug 2018
To my Beautiful treasures, I don't deserve!
My Three princesses, you are flawless next to me!
So pure and true!
For you, I carry on through life with all its let downs!
I have to persevere!  
God gave me three blessings I don't deserve!
Many a letdown Dad I've been!
A feeble dad I know!
But I resound my love to you!
For the only love im allowed to keep!
Every time I enter relationships, I only land up hurting! Either myself or the other person!
So to you and my God, I’ll have forever!
Please forgive my somewhat hopeless attempts at times, but if not for you my heart is spent!
Love you with all my heart as feeble as it may be!
As simple as I might act and not do enough!
Call enough or even be enough!
I love you!
Beyond my selfish pain!
And I’ll do my utmost to hurt you never again!

Can't see through
Warren-Johnson Apr 2017
Cant see through the emotion for sense !!
Can't make sense of it all and then I try and it's when it rips through me like a hurricane , how did I allow this again how did I let you in , now I don't know the way out !

All I know is there is only emotion and no sense can't see through the emotion as if it's a cloud so dark, I can't see any light how dismal they call this emotion love, well I know our minds feel the same emotion in good or bad but then is there any good ?

Is there love? dose it exist ? Or is it our way of selling ourselves off for a sad song in our playlists?
How can we see through an emotion that's a lie we created ?
What dismal cloud , suppose That's what we call life oh let's live it!  
Wow what a sad song !
Warren-Johnson Jun 2017
We live our lives so close to each other, But how often do we take our loved ones for granted, and in the rat race of life just pass each other by!
Unintentionally taking those so dear to our hearts for granted!

Take a minute, hold on to them for you never know when you will get the opportunity again, sadly sometimes if ever!

Live life like it is your first kiss, nothing should hamper you saying how much you care!
It should be free!
For ever there!
I love you!
Should be Something you show!
Not what you just say! You feel it why not show it!
Love is something of the heart that we wouldn't be the same without!
While you have them realize!
You have them!
Cherish them!
Enjoy them!
Show them!
Let nothing set that aside!
For you never know when tomorrow is no more!

I write
Warren-Johnson May 2017
i used to write sadness darkness and despair,
Truly found it healing!
Out of life's deepest darkest lair.

Now I find myself free and need to air
For I've learnt words come to me, maybe it's just a bit of loneliness,
but now I have to share.

Out of the fight of despair and dismal triumphs against me I found light.
So once again I'm compelled to do what I've grown to love,  WRITE !

BENEATH IT ALL
Warren-Johnson Oct 2017
A sweet smile she has that Masks such pain!
She sells off happiness as if she owns it all!
Yet not even a glimmer of a smile truly from within!
Or is not maybe just hope?
Or faith there is happiness yet to be had?

How brave you are fair lass!
I see you here with words of sorrows,
I'd wish not on my greatest enemy,

Oh I pray for you that hope is not just a awesome word we lay in wait for,
That this release is more than just a release,
But rather also a mode of transit,
To a far better space,
That it makes your heart smile seeing those words of hope,
Of love,
Of happiness beyond your expectations,

Your happiness will unfold yet !
But needs to start within,
I pray, oh how for this i pray !

Oh!
You might find them feeble!
You might see a lie!
Yet more true words never spoken!
Oh yes!
My life without you is like an arid lifeless desert!
Where once a beautiful Paradise thrived!
Now only tumbleweed to blow on by!
They be the people I put this mask on each day to portray a person!
Who be somewhat normal!
However!
I be not a person anymore!
No!
All that be left this lifeless shell
Yes, no more an empty shell of longing!
Longing for what was once the only happiness I’d want for!
Yes you might see it as feeble!
But ill love you till the day I die!

If this be a poem then strangely how apt that your name rhymes with Rash!
I'd babble on about how you are vile!
But that'd do me nothing constructive  or earn me no dime!
And it'd take more than a while,
Oh to tell them you slime?
Be as silly as this Rhyme!
But I get to remember that Tash!
Or would it be Rash to refer of you as Trash?
I'll do no such thing!
For that be your ways to adopt!
I'll hold my head high!
Knowing I loved my Wife!
And I fought without end for my marriage I did!
You will atone for your actions,
I shall have no joy or knowledge of what punishment he shall for you bid!
But I'll hold my head high for this I won't lie!

Anxiety a feeling of flight
I avoid the fight
With all my might
Sight, sound and touch
Bring me to a new light

Happy not just a state of mind, for it be a place
Oh so much so it’s a place, a time, a destination and a goal
It be where we should reside

When you walk into my home I want you to feel it!
When you look at me my heart will show it! For happy is where my heart resides!

Happy I need for me first!
If those that hearts are set in unhappiness they need know it remains their choice!

My Happiness is mine! no one else can steal it or navigate it!
I am the captain of this ship!

Oh happiness is mine!
I own it’s title deed

As a lush garden I aim to keep it in bloom!
So who ever should visit even a fleeting moment in my life! Should know happiness be mine!

I have to forgive you to move on they said
Yet how does that help?
What justice is there in that?
You just get away with ruthlessly bludgeoning my heart?
You denied all your wrong doing!
But guilty you are!
In this real world that means what?
That you in your sick tormented ways that feeds on others hurt,
Gets to choose their next victim?
Or I can choose not to be the victim!
Revenge would only make you look good and I bad!
Rather I'll let you dig your own grave and wait for that day to kick a bit of dirt in.
Forgive you I must?
If do that I'd never again trust!
Oh you got that right already!
No I'll just find true happiness! Find someone who appreciates, what you were too blind to see!

Why bother?

It came from the heart so to me, never a lie!

Finding it
Warren-Johnson Jan 2018
Somewhere, amongst the debris
of cigarettes after ***,
And a failed attempts at sleep, resulting in a restless time of mangled sheets.
I  tried to forget what it means to love.

I forgot what it means to breathe,
to sit still, and just be.

To heal oh wow I wish, yeah more like, let go no time to waste, they are on your heels.

Somewhere, beneath these hooded seams
of solitude and well-versed grief,
beats a heart less cynical,
less tamed by vague distraction.

My nervous ticks and bad habits,
line of best fit for a near-hit
of satisfaction:

I was told Warren you are better than that hmmmmm, how?  yes I wonder how? Where ?

We attach ourselves to emotions and allow people in again! Bad idea!.. Why for them to make an idiot of you, for them to say things until you give in and find yourself dependent on someone else, to long for them to wish for more? And then ! Nothing!!!!!

This is not enough, I know.
This is not nearly enough
to cool the bray of life
that still rattles meaning in my bones.

I thought I forgot what it means to love,
what separates a house from a home.

Can we ever though? for its wounds leave scars with furrows that to be visible to any who care to look!

Well I’ll use this medium as a coping tool!
To heal hopefully!
Grow hopefully!

Write, write, write !

I’ll find life again!

Hmmmm maybe the only part relevant to the saying is if we don't take hold that at all we end up in tatters! We the become the t-shirt!

How about been there done that got a trophy to prove it !
Even if I failed there's a trophy
Cause I came back strong here to fight another day!
Sure to find a the way, or get up again and put another trophy on life's mantlepiece,

It grows
Is real

Stolen Time
Warren-Johnson Oct 2017
They enter our lives with oh so much to give. (well?)
Yet all they do is take.
Far from pertinent they consume our hearts.
Stealing moments we should only be giving to the deserved.
We never see it there until after the fact, and we await all the I told you so's,

But hope I have to have I'm sure she out there,
She has to be,
Or is this it ?
A miserable existence?
Amounting to what?
Work, work,work
And loneliness till expiration of existence lures?
Oh she has to be!

So love is Real!

Love is abused
Taken for granted

Love is real yeah!
"Although after experiencing my love being abused, taken for granted, lied to and cheated on.
It's as if along with being robbed of a chance of happiness that was never truly there (for it needs for it needs to be from both parties)
It's as if along with my hope for happiness they stole my belief that love exist."

However it's legitimate, it exist!
For I loved without refrain!
I gave my all!
I loved unconditionally!
It's why It hurt so much!

Something else I'm certain exists!

The law of retribution!
Karma as others call it!

Let them do Love justice!

Bad!
All just what we allow ourselves to believe in!
Only misery we exist as truly!
The rest all *******!
We like water that evaporates and rains down are no more than a part of a miserable cycle!
We can blindly plod along or see its truth!
And forget all the ******* and allow no crap in!
Weak?
I wonder!  
Maybe tougher than all perceive by rather allowing all the false crap no more!
Weak? Oh no!

In Truth
Warren-Johnson Aug 2018
The truth shall set you free!
Free of what ?
I revealed everything and it only came back for me to be called a liar!
Somehow I need to believe that in truth all will be shown!
Oh but will she see?
Will pride prevent acknowledgement?
It will riddle me like a cancer this I know!
And true I’ll remain hers for I love her so!
Ill never love another i know this!
Although said before never be an eternity!
But i promised her just that!
And true ill remain!

FINDING STRENGTH
Warren-Johnson Jul 2018
Only through identifying and admitting our weaknesses can we identify our weaknesses!
Never let pride be a weakness for being to proud to seek help or admit to a weakness you will not prosper there!
Rather relish pride of accomplishment over where you were once weak!
If help be needed, seek!
If apologies be sought, do so!
As with thanks!
We can always better ourselves!
Finding strength!
We can always be more!
Warren-Johnson Jun 2018
Giving
Received with love!
Hearts a glowing!
Joyous smiles so true!
Filling a need!
These kids
They don’t know greed!
Fulfilling what any child should have!
To think how often we take so much for granted!
From a heart so pure, a wish was born!
Yes child of nine!
Saw the need for children in a orphanage, to be kept warm!
And so it began!
We deliver veered a week later,
For her plight was heard!
You saw her heart, true and pure!
Devout to her cause!
I am blessed to learn from this young soul!
Oh how so many can take a lesson here!
This would love!
Yes as it should be!
If we treated our peers, neighbors and the next person with a love like this!
Oh what could this world be?
No war!
No greed filled crimes!
No sinister inhumane acts!
Maybe a far fetched dream!
But I’d rather be as this child!
Maybe one in a few million!

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

Bringing joy to others might cost us a little time.
Maybe a little effort too!
But its rewards you’d never surpass,with any cash value or any other earthly goods!

No matter how small!
Your intentions will show true!
Make a difference in someone’s life!
Be only your time!
A book read to the aged!
A mere hug to the weary!

Go ahead I dare you!

Give!

YOURS TRULY
Warren-Johnson Feb 2018
We meet individuals who claim to our friends!
But how many can Really hold that tittle?
For even I find myself falling short at times of what a true friend should be!
However!
If we carry this badge, it should be with much honor and pride.
Yes we can’t always be super friends, we will make mistakes!
But if we hold the virtues of friendship dear and have good values as to what a friend should be.
We can hold our heads high knowing,
We might fail at times,
But I am sincere , and to those I hold dear,
I strive mostly to be:
Caring
Sincere
Fun
Uplifting
Available no matter distance or situation
Understanding
Non judgmental
We try listen
And more so from the heart!
For many thing might be said!

I might not be the richest or most popular!
But I remain Me!
And always strive to be as real as possible!

Yours truly
Your Friend

What others think of me ?
Warren-Johnson Nov 2017
I'll no more worry myself of this!
For as I've ambled across life's rocky roads, I've come to realize, only one overruling factor matters!
Will it be a positive in my life?
Making me happy?
Then why should I care how others see me?
I'd rather ask myself do I admire myself?
For I need to be the one I'd look up to!
Then surely how others see me would anyhow be of good standing?
Noble actions will result in one owning a clear conscience.

I fear not what others think!

I'd be proud to say I am the person I portray!

PETRIFIED
Warren-Johnson Jul 2019
A new venture of the heart
I climb out this protective shell
To once again explore the dark caverns where our hearts us do lead!
Where we often fall prey to our weaker side
They called emotions
Often they be poisoned or attacked by the cancerous Big scary monsters
Deciet
Dishonesty
Treacherous they be in all their forms
Some Dont survive
We never be as before
Hmmm
Scary places our hearts us do lead

They say nothing ventured nothing gained!
No pain no gain!

But I'm no child and I chose her for her heart!
As I once again put mine on the line
Seems like a sure bet!
Well then I'm going all in!
For the jackpot, all in I say!

Life
Warren-Johnson Sep 2019
Life be awesome
Oh yeah we have our ups and downs
But life is a short little adventure we get on earth!
Best to live life to the fullest!
Love true!
Love with all you are!
Be your greatest!
Forget those who don’t appreciate you!
Surround yourself with people who lift you up!
Who you can look up to and aspire to grow with!

Life is beautiful!
Embrace it and tell those you love, how much they mean to you, at every opportunity!

When asked how old I am at birthdays
My reply be, I’m not!
I am 47 years young!

The way we look at life be as the sentiment of the Glass be it half full? Or half empty?

Are we busy dying?
Or busy living?

Yes love life!
For its Yours!

Pain eternal
Warren-Johnson Apr 2017
Oh
Oh how i hurt use it to keep me alive let me feel,
Let me feel the pain so I can feel alive again,

Oh how hate you insipid thing they call you life ,oh how you a contradiction to your very own name , oh how I hate you bitter thing,
You supposed to mean joy , love, and beginnings all anew,
Yet you spew out misery, strife, grief and turmoil, love ? How few ?
Oh how I hate you insipid thing,

Bring on the pain so I can know I'm alive cause I bleed ,
Oh how I hate you in your every deed,
You trample my heart like a drought riddled field for the only to flourish the Ravens greed!

THE BEST OF ME YET!
Warren-Johnson Oct 2017
The greatest part of me is you!
My daughters
Forever proud of you
Forever yearning for you
Forever praying for your success
No matter how I fair wrong
I long for you to get it rite
You wow me all the time
Proud ye and more!
Warren-Johnson Jun 2018
So proud to be part of a driving force to help!
We managed to provide for a little soul named Precious, and to that she truly is!
Thank you all for your help! There were rewards there, I can never convey in words!
But you made it possible! And we continue to try! Make their little world a place with hope!
Yes they come from the saddest of places knowing only despair,
But no longer for at this home the children run and laugh at play!
A sound melodious when thinking from whence they come!
Oh thank you, yes oh thank you!

Forever
Warren-Johnson Aug 2019
Time spreads thin
Memories grow dim
Life goes on they say
Trying to keep hurt at bay
Miss you we do
Feeling lost
Empty at times
Hurts more at times as these
But you my friend in our hearts always you reside

Sitting on a deck watching the rain over the river I can’t help and ponder!
After a weeks worth of days mostly filled with rain,
And the pitter patter on the roof hardly even noticeable.
Brings me to think how we always complain it’s too hot or it’s too cold and,and, and!
Instead of embracing what we have we seek the negatives!
Is this how we as humans were made?
Or is it our choice ?
We have to see that for every situation, no matter how grave it may seem or how much we are at a loss, there is always a positive to every negative!
We just need to start embracing the positives!
Life is Good!
Life is as beautiful as you want to see it!
For if I wanted to be short sighted, I would have only seen the rain drops on the water!
Yet there be so much more!

TOMORROW BRINGS SOLACE
Warren-Johnson Jan 2018
“Having lost a person so Dear to me recently I found my heart aching so, and so I write this for my friends n others who have this heartache”

Time heals they say, well I’m not sure about that, but it does allow us to cope.

We wake up these dreary mornings with heavy hearts, but somewhere we find the strength that somehow there will be hope.

I know with life’s heavy blows when loosing a loved one, they don’t fade from our memories, we just relish them in a happier place than where sorrow holds.

So, we can wallow in grief, or smile and remember, for tomorrow brings solace!  and we get to smile and think, and raise a glass and remember how great moments were shared.

So for now we can cry we deserve that too, For we loved them so dear, how else can our hearts deal with this ache we bear?

But tomorrow we smile and cherish them again !

Re-bound Sue
Warren-Johnson Oct 2019
Hardly through this nightmare!
Haven’t even left yet!
And she’s lining the next culprit up ?

How do you ignore the wounds here today
ready to let someone in!
You in a vulnerable time
So easy to say just what you want to hear!

But more than than
If your hearts on the line should you not allow it to heal learn and grow stronger?

Oh I know the vulnerable turns to lonely and the lonely turns to miserable!

But we stronger than we allow ourselves to believe!

Our happiness belongs to us
We determine our own happiness
So although a partner who is well matched
Can compliment the person you are and make you happier
But first it’s happy you should be already!

Why wait
Warren-Johnson Dec 2017
As this new year dawns on us and all that's on in my life, it brings me to think, why wait ?
Why do we wait to make New Years resolutions?
Call our friends and family
Wishing them
Surely this should be a daily thing?
We too easily for all the reasons we can think of let this pass us by! Be it busy work schedules and whatever else life puts in our way.
Yet we loose someone and we wish we did so much more!
My New Years resolution is to let my loved ones know how much I love them & miss them! As much as I can!

But why wait

Hey I love you miss you all so much
Warren-Johnson Jul 2019
Society today be mere puppets at play
Led by there noses what media should portray
A negative society!
With it's morals in decay!
Oh but it be our choice where to tender our time,
Open the good book and read of pure joy!
Your father in heaven
Has better news for you yet
For this he gave his life
Without any grimace
Yes how awesome be that news!!
No matter how often I hear it
I find myself in awe!
He died for me and you!  
Wow how special are we!
That the Son of God has washed our sins clean! And set us free!
In awe I stand!
Thank you Jesus!

A real dream
Warren-Johnson Aug 2021
I had/have a dream how those great speaches start (Martin Luther King jnr) (Nelson Mandela)

Oh not to steal from their glory but I'd say I too dream!

A dream of a life where we needn't be  bothered by treachery and deciet!

A dream of a life where violence ceesed to exist!

A dream where love meant just what it should

A dream where there were only true's
No false box to tick

A dream where I would be seen the same whether I arrived on a donkey or a Leer jet

But these just be dreams!

What a glorious ponder maybe induced coma be a option?
At least my heart can reside there whilst I dream!

Oh dream on
