i walked the barley field standing oh so bold
blowing in the breeze with its leaves of gold
sun was beating down as i walked along my way
through the fields of barley on a summers day

it was very peaceful it made me feel so whole
such a tranquil feeling it reached in to my soul
such a lovely feeling it made me feel so free
walking through the barley brought all this to me

pets they are for life not just for a day
they rely on you for a place to stay
a friend that they can trust give them lots of care
someone who will love them and always will be there

they will keep you company give there love to you
with a frienship for a lifetime and for ever true
pets have feelings to   just like humans do
they are there for you for there whole life through

when you have a pet you always have a friend
who will give there love. till the very end
all they need is someone that will love them to
pets they all have feelings just the same a you

if the world was full of wishes i would wish for this
a happy world for everyone with nothing else but bliss
there would be no fear or people getting killed
no shooting or no stabbings no more blood is spilled

just a world of love as peaceful as can be
we could live together in a world thats free
if we all wished together one just might come true
the world would be a better place for every me and you

i love it when it spring it warms the heart in me
lots of spring time flowers there for us to see
crocus and the daffodil and the snowdrops to
showing of there blooms in the morning dew

trees begin to bud to grow there leaves once more
now theres leaves again like there was  before
the robin on the fence sings morning song
bringing in the dawn as he bobs along

a lovely time of year with so much to view
mother natures beauty for every me and you

when your feeling down you can phone a friend

is easier tell someone when its someone that you know

there was a little  hedgehog of the pilot sort
to fly an helicopter was his only thought
flying in the sky all along the sea
an helicopter pilot he just long to be.

he booked some flying lessons at an airport near by
so he could get his wings once he learnt to fly.
hedgehog past his test now he could fly alone
in an helcopter flying on his own

now hedgehog he was ready and headed for the sky
high above the clouds he began to fly
suddenly he saw what looked like a flare
flying past his window gave him quite a scare.

hedgehog circled round to see what it could be
there he saw dinghy floating in the sea.
it was his friend the badger he was in distress
badger was in trouble and in such a mess
hedgehog he got closer he was very brave
and his friend the badger hedghog he would save.

he dropped down a line to his little friend
badger  he grabbed hold and hung on to the end
hedgehog pulled him up and pulled his friend inside
then in his helicopter hedgehog began to glide.

he had saved the badger he was safe once more
flew him back to land to the safety of the shore
hedghog waved goodbye then he flew away
and his still a pilot to this very day

i have a friend called ann was landlady of the swan
many years ago but now the pub has gone
i did karaoke there every now and then
waiting for a booking so i could go again

customers they loved it they would have ago
sing there favourite songs putting on there show
passed the night away as happy as can be
always very friendly and a friend to me

now the pub as gone just a memory
that i can look back on how it used to be
all the cosy nights and friends i got to know
in the comfort of the swan all those years ago

so i say thankyou for the memory
of the  days gone by how it used to be
to anne and all the customers
who were friends to me

children make the world go round each and every day
happy and content as they play away
bringing back the memories of all the things i did
all those years ago when i to was a kid

having lots fun doing different things
childhood memories and all that childhood brings
days on holiday with my mum and dad
playing on the beach oh what fun we had

now when i see the children it reminds me of me
when i was just a kid how it used to be
they make the world go round make life carry on
remind us of our selves when childhood days are gone

love has been around since the time began
its in everybody woman or a man
something that you share body heart and soul
a bonding of two hearts that make two people whole

no matter who you are no matter what the race
in the hearts of everyone love it has a place
its a special thing that two people share
all around the world love is everywhere

i saw my little friend sticking out is head
he lives in my garden underneath my shed
my little hedgehog buddy waking  from his sleep
time for him to waken and round my garden creep

looking for a snack for his springtime treat
tasty worms and insects that he likes to eat
waken up for spring around the garden roam
then when winter comes.  beneath my shed to home

when your feeling lonely in need love of once more
find a bit of happiness like you had before
someone there to comfort you keep you company
put love back in your heart that there used to be

take away the lonlieness bring back love to you
replace the love gone by start again a new
your love it will return the lonlieness will go
then your heart will find the love that it used to know

i love to watch the flowers in the morning dew
a lovely piece of nature thats so nice to view
snow drops and the bluebells and so many more
showing of there blooms with colors by the score

birds up in the trees singing in the morn
there springtime melody bringing in the dawn
sun begins to shine to brighten up the day
all these things you see when spring is on the way

bobby is my friend everything to me
he is everything that a friend should be
he his very loving gives his love and care
anytime at all  his love is always there

tho he is just a dog he is my best  friend
with the kind of love that will never end
always very loyal and loving as can be
and i love him so he belongs to me

when you sit there cry sitting in despair
feeling so alone no one there to care
wishing there was someone to keep you company
someone who would listen help you with your plea

there are places you can go  to tell your troubles to
people you can phone  waiting there fo you
if you sit alone thats no good at all
just pick up the phone give someone a call

i have a friend called robin he comes to visit me
he sits in my garden on my apple tree
sings his robin song in his robin way
it is very beauitiful melts my heart away

such a lovely song every note in key
singing loud and clear in perfect harmony
when his song has finished  flies into the sky
almost brings a tear  as i wave goodbye

when the sun is out it always brings a smile
a little happiness if only for a while
brings a little warmth when you feeling down
makes you smile again takes away your frown

then comes back the rain to take it all away
takes away the sunshine turns the clouds to grey
makes you sad again gone now has  the smile
hope it will return if only for awhile

stand up and be strong when your past has gone
put it all behind you walk away move on
what is done is done you cant turn it round
you just carry on till you find new ground

then the past will go if you want it to
you can make it happen it is up to you
start again a fresh wih a different view
forget about the past start again  a new

if everyone was cheerful there would be no sad
just a world of happines. life would be so glad
lots of smiling faces we would always see
just a world so joyful no more misery.

wouldnt it be nice if we could be this way
just a happy world each and everyday.
smiles on every face filled with such delight
the world would be a happy place cheerful and so bright

i saw a little dog he was on the roam
he looked like a stray looking for a home
routing through the bins looking for a treat
hoping he could find something there to eat

he looked very thin as scruffy as can be
so i called him over an took him home with me.
i gave the dog a bath brushed his knotted hair
there were lots of knots they were everywhere.

then i got a bowl filled it with some meat
mixed it up with biscuits a proper doggy treat
the little dog was happy he had found a home
somewhere he could live and didnt have to roam.

dog he settled down as happy as can be
and i love him so he means the world to me.

i heard a bluebird singing  such a lovely tune
beneath the stars so bright and the silver moon
a lovely melody with such a lovely beat
it filled my heart with love and swept me of my feet

every note in time every note in tune
with his gentle voice i began to swoon
it made me feel serene and so very calm
a lovely song of love filled with so much charm

then he flew away in to the midnight sky
flapped his wings so gently as he said goodbye

i saw lttle squirrrel high up in a tree
he started climbing down when he noticed me
very very friendly as friendly as can be
then he came on over and jumped upon my knee

i took a selfie photo of the squirrel there with me
he never even moved very tame was he
when he finished posing he jumped of my knee
waved his bushy tale then climbed back in his tree

happy valentine this i wish to you
hope that on this day your wishes all come true
your a special someone and a friend of mine
have lovely day on this valentine

life can be a jigsaw with pieces everywhere
you must find the pieces make a picture there
search through all shapes where the pieces go
put them in the right place the picture it will show

life it is the same its a jisaw to
you must fine the pieces to make life work for you
when the picture is complete your life you will see
there in front of you of how your life should be

love as many roads up and down they go
what is round the corner you just never know

you just never know just what love can do

it all starts of well then it turns around
love you  thought was true you never really found
so you keep on trying till true love comes your way
till you find a true love that is there to stay

life is like a clock it just ticks away
hours they go by into another day
days they turn to weeks then the months appear
then before you know another year is here

round and round it goes as the times go bye
we dont realize how fast the time can fly
like the circle of life it goes on and on
the way it has to be for each and everyone

when the hedgehogs wake from there winter sleep
leave there winter nest aound your garden creep
with there little spikes pointing in the air
lots of little spikes sticking every where

roaming round the garden for a tasty treat
for there favourite food they just love to eat
such a lovely creature as cute as cute can  be
when springtime comes around hedgehogs we always see

i like to watch the tide coming home once more
gently as it rolls covering the shore
stays a little while turns and rolls away
heading once again to another bay

a lovely part of nature that makes the world go round
everywhere you go natures wonders can be found
all a part of life that we all can see
the miracles of nature there will always be

days are up and down.  there are good and bad
some can make you happy some can make you sad
you just never know what days bring to you
just go with the flow in order to get through

every new tomorrow has a different day
tomorrow always knows what will come your way
live life day by day what ever comes a long
just go with the flow stand up stand be strong

A POEM I WROTE FOR MY SPECIAL FRIENDS
ANGEL AND ANN

when a heart has love it is there to share
there inside your heart love is always there
through the good and bad it never fades away
if your is love true in your heart will stay

a very special thing a gift from up above
bonds two hearts together  by a thing called love
no matter who we are no matter what the race
in the heart of everyone love it has a place

when your mind is troubled. your thoughts drift away.
trying to escape its the only way
looking for an exit trying to break free
so the troubles in your mind you dont have to see  

hoping they will dissapear from there in your mind
the troubles that are there will be left behind
gone away for good  troubles all set free
now you are the troubles in your mind will no longer be

pets are very faithful and there love is true
each and everyday give there love to you
aways very faithful till the very end
stay with you forever you forever friend

they will comfort you keep you company
best friend in the world there could ever be
they will make you smile when your feeling down
make you smile again take away your frown

never let you down never stray away
give there love to you every single day
till the very end they are there for you
with a love thats real and forever true

i like to hear the birds singing in the morn
on a brand new day bringing in the dawn
singing all together in perfect harmony
melts my heart away sets my spirit free

reaches to the heart reaches to the soul
makes me feel so happy makes me feel so whole
every note in tune singing all in key
bringing in a new day in perfect harmony

i love to watch the moon lighting up the night
surrounded by the stars that twinkle oh so bright
just like little diamonds floating in the sky
clouds like sheets of silk as they go passing bye

everything so tranquil as peaceful as can be
takes my breath away warms the heart in me
a lovely piece of nature for all the world to see
a perfect work of art that we can view for free

theres nothing like a dog such a loving soul
they give you there love. sincere and so whole
it never ever leaves and never goes astray
they will give there love till there dying day

always there for you when things in life go wrong
right there by your side with there love so strong
best friend in the world you will ever see
always there for you they will always be

when a love is lost time to just move on
find somebody new replace the love thats gone
make a brand new start try again once more
than you can love again like you did before

then the hurt will go along with all the pain
love it will return you can love again
time will heal your heart make you feel brand new
and the love you lost will return to you

if the world was full of kindness how happy it would be
from shootings and the stabbings no longer have to flee
cruelty to animals would disappear for good
they could all be loved just the way they should

no more wars to fight just a world of peace
just world of kindness would make  the fighting cease
the world  be so happy wouldnt have to run away
just have love and kindness every single day

life can be a burden it can make you cry
feel you had enough feel you want to die
everything around you empty and so bare
feel the world you knew is no longer there  

now theres only lonelieness each and everyday
happiness you knew now so far away
you can turn it round if you want it to
all the things in life will come back to you

the decision it is yours there for you take
only you alone know the decision you must make
you can turn it round start again a new
all the things in life are waiting there for you

there are rules in life that we have to make
all the things in life we have to give and take
life can turn around in so many ways
we have to learn to cope with all its different days

never ever knowing what the day will do
what is has in mind what it brings to you
its the way of life it has to be that way
all that we can do is live it day by day

theres a place i use  to go as cozy as can be
a very special place that holds a memory
of the karaoke nights  putting on my show
and the people there that i got to know

a little village pub not to far away
from the town of barrow where used to stay
pub was called the swan that i wont forget
all the special nights and the people that i met

so i thankyou anne for always booking me
for the special nights and the memory
it will stay with me and will never part
a  treasure i will keep forever in my heart

when a dog gets lonely as no place to stay
hoping maybe soon he will have a home someday
someone who will love him keep him company
no more lonlieness will he ever see

a place where he could stay. no longer have to roam
somewhere for security he can call a home
settle down for good change his life around
live happy ever after in his new home he has found

everyone gets lonely it  happens to us all
thats when we need a friend someone we can call
someone there for you to tells your troubles to
there to sit and listen there to comfort you

sitting all alone just wont help at all
it will make it worse  pick up the phone and call
friends are waiting there anytime of day
listen to your troubles what you have to say

get it of your chest dont let your troubles brew
dont let your depression take an hold on you
friends are there to help and listen to your plea
they are everthing that a friend should be

we all age with time something we all do
even at 70 still think your twenty two
hair it turns to grey eyes they lose there sight
but we just ignore it say everythings alright

we just keep on going  do the best we can
age it comes to everyone women or a man
its a part of life something we all do
we all do our best till the angels come for you

soon the sun will shine on a spring time morn
birds they will sing again bringing in the dawn
tempratures will rise again warming up the day
these are sure signs spring is on the way

a season full of joy that we all love to see
flowers bringing color growing wild and free
a lovely time of year that we love the best
winters gone away for a well earned rest

i took a walk along earnsie bay
took my cam and clicked away
taking pictures as i walked around
with so much beauty to be found

there were many flowers growing wild and free
all along the shore all this i could see
seagulls over head. floating in the sky
way up high above as they go passing by

miles of scenery that takes your breath away
all these things you see along the earnsie bay
so take your cam with you. if ever you go there
theres  beauty to be seen it is everywhere

everyday we wake up another day to live
face the world outside and what it has to give
will it be a good day where everything goes right
filled with lots of sunshine happy and so bright

one we will remember in our memory
that we can look back on  we can always see
then wait until tomorrow to start again once more
hope that it will be just like the day before

sunshine has returned too  brighten up the day
warming up the ground spring is on its way
heating up the soil so the plants can grow
spring is here once more gone now as the snow

a lovely time of year one that we all know
filled with lots of beauty that gives your heart aglow
mother natures picture for all the world to see
reaches to the soil sets your spirit free

love is just a word letters only four
each and everday love grows even more
makes you feel so happy makes you feel brand new
you will feel its power there inside of you

it will last forever as long as you may live
always in your heart there for you to give
in love for evermore for your whole life through
with a love thats real and stay forever true
