A Puppy`s Life

 I`m small cute and lovable

with floppy ears and bright eyes

big soft paws and black wet nose

a bundle of fun for my size

Little puppy so inquisitive

such a need for me to explore

what`s in there and can I chew it

 will you play with me some more

my life is full of love and joy

it`s great fun being a puppy

so after an exciting day

I sleep well knowing I`m lucky !

A poem for my husband, to wish him happy birthday.
If you would like a personalized poem, please feel free to contact me.



Happy Birthday Steve


The memories I hold of you
will remain with me for ever
can`t wait until I`m by your side
and once more we`ll be together

until then I`ll visit your grave
lay flowers and say a prayer
even though you`re six feel under
I know I`ll always sense you`re there

as nature wakes up from winter`s sleep
everywhere there`s flowers
bringing back memories
that will remain completely ours

I can`t believe how time has flown
and another year has gone by so fast
so let`s celebrate you birthday
as one day I`ll be with you at last


Happy Birthday Steve
Love and miss you always
xXx

Easter

The Easter bunny is hopping through

hiding chocolate eggs for me and you

lots of bright coloured wrappers I can see

hidden in the garden for you and me

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!
