Mirrored Reflections

Watching your face, I see
staring straight back at me
eyes so focused out there
so bright eyed as you stare
reflections in the glass
a vision I hope will last
darkness all around
for there is no sound
only sadness I spy
in your beautiful eye
watching every movement
reflected there in front
oh I wonder what you see
as you stare straight at me!

My Mother

I visited your grave today

to wish you all the best 

on your wedding anniversary

great years, oh you were blessed!

missing all your wisdom here

for I treasured all your love

but sadly God called you to him

and now you sit with him above

although you have left this world

I hold your memory in my heart

carrying on all that you taught me

I hope I can continue to play my part 

So on this November morning

I come to show you my respect

celebrating your special day

my mother, who to me, was perfect!!

Happy Wedding Anniversary Mum  xx

Sad days....

This is such a hard day
to over come the sorrow
for you were taken from us
never to again the morrow

You were the light in my heart
the smile upon my face
holding me in your arms
I felt safe in our place

The angels took you away
never to return to me
never to see our future made
or our twilight years to see

I miss your hearty laughter
your sense of humour too
the way your eyes lit up
Steve, I really do miss you...!

A Poppy for a Soldier

From the first world war to the latest one
Millions of men, women and children have died
But millions more have been left to suffer
These are the ones, help has been denied

Fields full of bright red poppies standing tall
Where once men at arms stood and fought the war
Many have no rest place for kin to grieve
Others have been left to suffer for sure

So each Remembrance Day is important
We should all wear our Poppies with great pride
For many people lost their lives for us
We should be grateful that we were all allied

Now it`s our turn to give something back
To help an injured soldier in much need
Encourage, guide, support and care for each one
Be there in their hour of pain, guaranteed

So all red poppies is significant
Each one represents a soldier that fell
So this year wear your poppy with respect
As we honour our service personnel.



Remembrance Day is almost here again, and poppies are on sale, makes me think of all the fallen and injured men and women who have given for their country.  We must respect and care for them all.

My Question?

never seems 

to be answered

the one I really 

need to know..

the one that 

has no answer

this I`m sure...

won`t stop me though!

for I will continue

to seek the answer

I`ll never stop

having a go...

my question

is important

at least to me

did you know?

who should I ask

would you have a clue?

I need an answer

I`ll so full of woe

will my question

ever find

satisfaction

this.... I don`t know!!

To fall in Love is awfully simple, 
but to fall out of Love is simply awful....!

(came across these words, they have a simple truth....)

Sorrows Drowned            

I`m in a black space
at this moment
darkness seeping in
tightness of the chest
unable to breath
drowning with this pain

claustrophobia
grips my heart so tight
sinking further down
coldness creeping in
watering my tears
as my sorrow grows

dropping even further
engulfed in darkness
no will to continue
slipping down and down
water settling over
no more distant light
let pain take me
so peace will remain..!
