Loss of a Loved One

it`s been many years now 

since the angels took you away

gave you wings and made you well

but I`ll never forget that day

I felt my world crumble

my heart ripped in two

left alone to carry on

how would I cope without you

through your love from afar

I slowly picked up the pieces

and the pain that I harbored

as they finally decreases

you walk each day beside me

holding my hand when I am low

so much to be grateful for

you`ve really helped me to grow

now matter how long I wait

to be with you once more

Steve, i`ll always love you

of that I know I`m very sure !

Love and miss you always 

xXx

Pulsing heart held in limbo
deep within the center of stone
passion radiating through
cradled in a rock like bone

this burning nucleus of life
trapped deep inside it's cold tomb
strata laid down through the years
forever in this place consumed

Crumpling History

Ghostly emotions emitted by these buildings
derelict shells from a bygone age
lifeless windows staring blindly on the world
while creeping vines are on the rampage

crumbling masonry scattered on the ground
nature taking it`s revenge by devouring it all
this once proud dwelling prominent here
slowly disappearing with each fallen wall

many memories are locked in this place
precious events throughout its long history
for each ancient stone or brick holding them tight
waiting for that special person to tell their story !

A Special Mother

There is one day each year

when we are glad to show

a very special lady

just how much we love her so

For she is a special person

who'd do anything for us

always there with a kind word

and never makes a fuss

A smile for us each morning

and a chat around the table

cuddles when we need support

making our lives more stable

We love you so very much

and celebrate this day

showing you how much we care

in our own unique way

Therefore at the special time

we give praise for our Mother

and thank her for all she does

as we`ll never have another

Happy Mothering Sunday

Young Milo

A bundle of fun curled up on the floor

ready to pounce when you come through the door

greeting everyone with a friendly lick

to get attention, he`ll try every trick

his great big paws propelling him forward

Milo tries to behave and get his reward

and ears flapping as he races around

inquisitive eyes and a sweet puppy sound

it`s wonderful to watch as he explores

not just in his home, but the big outdoors

as he gets to know all he can see

we`re so happy, Milo`s part of our family!

Climbing the stairs to slumber land
entering the realm of mystery
let the mind flow free from earthly ties
releasing the soul from daily restraints
thus creating new images to explore
painting new pictures to share tomorrow...!

The hide-a-way

There`s a kitten shaped hole in my wall

two small cosy circles side by side

just the right size and shape for a snooze

some where to snuggle up in and hide

nestled with this spot, a kitten sleeps

body touching the back of the hole

as its paws over lap the edges

tugs at my heart watching this cute soul

the sun shines brightly across the wall

though kitten is sheltered in the shade

four white feet bobbing in the sun shine

it`s all tired our after kitten`s played

with this kitten hideout, purpose built

for a creature that so needs to sleep

laid hidden from every ones view

sleeps soundly but can always peep!

Kittens and cats sleep where they feel safe and comfy......
