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!

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
