Awaken!

Greeting the sun with a smile
as we welcome in the morn
springing into creativity
lifting our hearts with the dawn


To wake up slowly with a tender kiss from the sun is wonderful....

Families

are like branches on a tree

we all grow in

 different directions

yet our roots remain
forever connected

 In the shadows 

  As this day draws to an end
  there`s sorrow in my heart
  though all around me are smiles
  my soul has been ripped a part

  for once I could stand tall
  proud of all I had achieved
  but since you took it all away
  I`m left here to weep and grieve

  let the shadows swallow me
  so I may hide in the darkness
  there`s nothing left for me here
  only a world that`s heartless

Stillness of my dreams


Within this still and silent house
amongst all the memories of you
I sit here and ponder on what we had
knowing our love for each other was true

now all I have, I hold in my heart
that connection remains strong, I believe 
all the great times we had will stay with me
though the pain will lessen, I`ll always grieve

while I sleep,  gently hold me safe in your love
let me live our past til the morning light
wrap me tightly in your arms, protect me 
walk with me in my dreams, at least for tonight !

Hedgehog


This little hedgehog
stand all alone
needing lots of cuddles
and a loving home !

Prickles

Colourful hedgehogs
standing in a line
sparkling bright prickles
and looking real fine

these little hedgehogs
helping to raise money
supporting other hogs
as they`re all family!

Silent Wish

In a house full of people
never a sound to be heard
loneliness engulfs me
as nothing here has stirred

hearing music from afar
with a muffled beat and tone
then cheerful laughter too
yet I sit here all alone

wish I could change these walls
to woodland scenery
sounds of nature all about
thus relaxing leisurely  !

So glad you are my sister

and thank goodness

you`re my best friend too

so let`s keep it that way

as you know many of my secrets !
