Solitude

Through the silence I walk
the gentle crunch under my feet
muffled noises all around
as I spy a dim lit seat

For under the park light
a snow covered bench is seen
though cold, it`s quiet inviting
a white throne for a queen

All around is darkness
as this seat sits in a pool of light
crisp foot prints near by
creating a wondrous sight

This scene so fit for royalty
invites me to come and rest a while
though cold, it`s peaceful here
distant light gives it an eerie smile

Leaving my foot prints behind me
I accept the sweet invitation
solitude and quietness
love this wondrous temptation

Remembering

I will always remember you when
I walk up the stairs
I will always remember you when
I am so far away

I can`t hug you or hold your hand now but
I will always remember you
All The things that you gave me will
Remind me that you were there for me.

Let me be your Valentine

hold you in my arms

 look into your sparkling eyes

taste your luscious lips

be yours for eternity

Valentine`s Day

Valentine`s day

It`s that time of year again, where love is in the air !
Valentine`s Day is a day to show your true love just how much they are loved.
This day appeals to lovers of all ages, from all walks of life and all parts of the world !

From red roses, hearts and chocolates to more meaningful shows of affection, that are personal to each couple.  Over the years these gifts have got more and more extravagant!
The meaning of couples has also changed and therefore so have the gift ideas too.

Personally, Valentine`s Day doesn`t hold that much for me, as my husband was given his wings nearly 10 years ago. However I hold many, many wonderful memories of our time spent together and treasure every one of them. 

Though couples show their love for each other everyday, Valentine`s Day is a special time to really go to town and show their love more intensely.  A love token, meal, time together all help to make this day really special for each couple.

At the beginning of each relationship, every Anniversary, Birthday, Christmas and Valentine`s day are so important and a great time to show how strong their love is for each other.   As the years progress, these occasions are not so important, as other milestone come into view. Achievements, children and even grandchildren take up their attention.  Their love is still important and as time goes by, they begin know each other better, know what they like, how they feel or how they will react.  This just goes to show how they have moulded into a wonderful, loving couple.

Though I don`t celebrate Valentine`s Day, I still remember my husband, Steve, and all our achievements we shared together. I take great joy in our children and look forward to celebrating all their future achievements.

So to all those who are celebrating Valentine`s day,  I hope you all have a wonderfully enjoyable and loving day.

Mother

Mother....

As I have grown older
I miss you more and more
your guidance and compassion
that helped me so much before

from one mother to another
I cherished all your kindness
the memories we created
will always be tinged with sadness

Mother you are so special
through you so far away
you`re always within my heart
here`s wishing you a Happy birthday!

Sadness grows
as ice flows
slowly across the surface
chilling us
without a fuss
as it spreads with much purpose !

Walkies in the Rain

Racing around the park

paws splashing in puddles

sunshine and showers

with rainbows all ablaze

jumping in the lake

all through the afternoon

as you chase the ducks

in and out the waters

your fur dripping wet

all the fun and games 

as the sun comes out

feeling warmth on your face

watching you shake

shake all the rain from your fur

twisting and turning

spraying rain drops

in different directions

baring your teeth n a grin

and your soak me too!

love our walkies in the rain
