Lawn Bowls

On a smooth flat green ,all dressed in white

balls at the ready, let the game begin

taking turns to roll nearest to the jack

a pleasurable day, ending up with a win!

Mr Badger

Well hello Mr Badge
so nice to meet you today
with your stripy colours
it`s time to be on your way

from the warmth of your burrow
to the coolness of the night
now it`s time to go a-hunting
until the dawn brings the light

off you scuttle along the track
sniffing and digging as you go
where will you end up tonight
I`m not sure you really know

 as the sun starts it`s journey
and the world begins it`s new day
I`ll say goodnight Mr Badger
let you sleep and be on my way !!

Recipe For The Day

Start your day off with a cup of coffee

spoon in some happiness and love

add whipped cream of mystery

shake on chocolate from above

With this you should also have

a bowl of energy and fun

pour on the milk of strength and wit

for now your day has just begun

To really finish of this treat

you`ll need some hot and crunchy toast

spread with some caring harmony

with this you`ll reach the winning post!!

Crossroads

there turmoil in my life

but I know you`re around

I feel you in my heart

 yet you`re 6 feet under ground

watch over your family

at this moment in time

as we try to carry on

surely this is not a crime

I find myself at a crossroads
not sure which way to go
should I stay on this path
or take a risk and follow

my heart ......

Am I invisible ?

I stand here   waiting

as you walked on by
should I jump up and down
wave my hands in the air
would you see me then?
no reaction seen

you didn`t flinch
just stared ahead
as you walked on by
am I invisible?
think the answers … yes!

Avon calling....!

Ding dong, there`s the bell

hope Avon`s come to call

to show me a new brochure

can`t wait to see it all

It feels like Christmas

every time she`s here

sat with her tea, goodies

from her bag appear

Creams, perfumes, makeup

displayed for me to see

all looking great,  even

watches and jewellery

With so much to try

we can test and smell

all are spoilt for choice

don`t want to break this spell

When all the orders are in

and everything`s all done

we say our farewells

this time`s been such fun!

Really enjoyed this morning

I was so impressed

can`t wait for my order

Avon, you is the best!

I wrote this for a bit of fun...lol

Happiness.....

Happiness is not something that you depend,  it not what you see on the outside of yourself!  This feeling is felt from deep within,  your heart and soul.  Beauty from the inside that shines through to the world outside.

Happiness is an emotion that can be stimulated from outside influences as will as a feeling that`s felt throughout yourself.  A state of mind and yet an emotion that is felt.   

This can be from a kiss to an achievement.   A wonderous image to a contentment from a proud moment.  From a physical moment to an emotional state of mind.

For me,  happiness is better than taking tablets or potions from a doctor.  It has no nasty side effects and it`s benefit lasts longer.  Helping me to sleep better and putting a spring in my step !!  With happiness inside you, your aura is bright, healthy and vibrant, showing others that all is well.

So always look to your happiness that shines from within yourself and not what happens outside of you. 

Be a beacon of brightness and lighten up the world around you so that others can see your happiness and mirror that within themselves.

Memories ….

memories held in my heart
flow through this pen in my head
dancing across crisp white paper
painting pictures for me to hold
allowing these memories to last for ever !

Urban Flight

Freedom on a skateboard

to fly through an urban land

ability to go anywhere you want

four wheels balanced to the hand!

jetting across old concrete

and reflected in city glass

the thrill of being speed junkies

the world a blur as you pass

with the breeze in your face

complete balance of man and board

with total control in motion

you feel like an urban lord !

It`s been such an emotional day
where my pen as expressed my sadness
as tears roll down my cheeks
memories flood across the page
for each day my ink will flow freely, writing my life story !

Remembering a loved one who`s been given their wings, 

can be an emotional experience. However keeping their memory alive

is the best way to hold them in our heart.

11 years ago today I lost my soulmate, my best friend, my wonderfully loving husband Steve. The father to my four talented children.

This is the poem I will lay on his grave later today with flowers.

Love and miss you always 

xXx

Gifted White Feather

I found a white feather today

where you left it for me to see

you seem to know when I need help

thank you for sending it to me

our time together was cut short

the separation feels so long

but your love is locked in my heart

the memories remain so strong

the past will always be with me

like your little gift, the white feather

for all these are so important

therefore my sweet love I`ll treasure!

Hopes ........

My hopes for you

are that you discover

the love of a special partner

joys of true friendship

courage and strength in life

that enable your dreams to come true

Wrapped in Slumber

love to watch you sleep awhile

as a mother watches her child

peace and calm across your face

the steady rhythm of your breathing

as your mind drifts away

what dreams are you dreaming?

where is your peaceful haven?

the place you go to get away

as your body rests from its toils

I so wish that I could be

resting in your arms right now

safely wrapped up in slumber

as we both dream our dreams
