As one year comes to a close

a door is opened onto a new one

tread confidently as you go

be positive as you walk through

pray this year will be a great one!

2020

As this year draws to an end ... I look back over all the wondrous events of the year and with many mixed emotions. Some events have been amazing, my youngest son's graduations, another son landing his perfect job and moving out. My poetry business doing so well. All the fabulous new friends I've made and much more 😀
There have been sad time too, losing a few great friends, son moving to Orkney to live, and a few health issues too.

The one thing that's always hits me though ... Steve is not here by my side to share these events. Then I remember .. Steve may not be by my side, he is still with me through everything .. as he is in my heart. Accompanying me in all I do and also with each of his children too.

So if you feel lonely .. remember your loved ones will always be with you held lovingly in your heart and those of your family.

So I look back over this year full of emotion and mixed feelings as we move forward to a new year, new decade and new opportunities.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all of you who have joined me on my journey as you travel along yours too.

Happy New Year, here's to an amazing 2020 full of opportunities, adventures and new memories to make and some to share.

Lissie 💜 xXx

New Era!

It would seem that 
as I get older
I find myself more alone
children move on
new adventures to follow
only silence left
time to let go
a new chapter has started
peace now reins
there`s a calm here
let the young live their life
let the old rest
welcome in a new era
smile and carry on!

Happy Birthday

Love your bright smiling eyes

dressing up under sunny skies

having fun digging from a surprise

Mummy, you`re so kind and wise

Love your laughter when we play

so full of joy in every way

your smile lights up my whole day

Mummy, wishing you Happy Birthday !

Kisses and cuddles

Scruffy Princess  xXx

Beautiful sparkling snowflakes, 

beautiful in every way!

*

White

Snowflakes

All different shapes

With wonderful designs

Sparkling as they drift down in the winter breeze

Feeling each one as they land on my skin

Watching the snowflakes floating by

Each beautiful flake has a unique pattern

Covering the cold ground in a thick white blanket

Leaving traces on the windows

Melting on my red nose

Snowflakes

Sparkle

Now

Star Light

Spirally across the sky

spinning brightly as it goes

lighting up the night time

where it's going, no one knows

strands of gold seeking space

testing out the atmosphere

as it moves across the horizon

casting patterns of light so near

hues of reds and gold we see
spinning and pulsating along
orbiting celestial force
with a fiery tail, so strong

moving swiftly along its course
streaks of colour across the moon
like candles flickering on by
this star light will be gone too soon

Merry Christmas

This year has been a fabulous one, exceeding all my dreams!

I have met many amazing people and completed some wonderful commissions.

Earlier in the year I started to assemble some newly written nonets for a second anthology. Can`t wait to finish it and share it will all my friends and followers.

So here`s looking towards an exciting 2020!

Wishing all my friends and followers a very Merry Christmas 

and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.

In this day and age, Christmas seems to be about presents, food, decorations and cards, but that was not how it use to be.  Maybe it`s time to remember the true meaning of Christmas and the birth of baby Jesus.

Merry Christmas to you all !!

True Christmas

On Christmas eve it was so cold

like it was all those years before

as a couple tried to find a room

but they're only offered a stable floor

amongst the hay and ox and ass

the saviour of the world was born

laid in a manger warm and safe

watched over by Mary, `til the morn

there were shepherds in the field

all guarding their flock by night

when a heavenly host appeared

telling them of the child, with delight

leaving to visit the baby

travelling to the little stable

bearing gifts for baby Jesus

showing him love, as they were able

Mary takes this all to her heart

God has told her, he was precious

so as we gather altogether

let`s remember that first Christmas
