The Fans

hear the loud roars from this mighty crowd

with support their running so high

as each wave their team colours 

fans chant encouraging songs

teams take to the field

let the game start

whistle blows

battle

on!

Easter Bunny

Each year Easter Bunny hides his eggs

 around the countryside he goes

hiding the chocolate treasures

all wrapped up brightly

in many colours

can you find them 

and have fun

sharing

them

Though you don't walk beside me today

you'll always remain in my heart

holding you within my soul

memories to cherish 

wrap me in your love
watch over me

missing you
dearest

love

💜

The long Voyage

Cast off into waters unknown
Adrift in a small wooden craft
A green canvas for protection
Survival then, would be hard graft

A sail though small would have to do
A long with a rudder to guard
Provisions that were really scarce
The journey would be long and hard

As winds began to blow harder
Fear was setting in for the crew
Huddling beneath the canvas
They prayed that they would all get through

Their small lonely boat tossed around
In this huge undulating sea
Those deep waters were so enraged
Would it take or leave them be?

They tried to hang on for dear life
Through high winds and driving rain
Scared right out of their tiny minds
The crew weren't coping with the strain

White crested waves crashed over them
Now the end was surely in sight
They were taking on water badly
Then in the distance they saw light

Shining brightly across the sea
Lighting their way to the coast line
Now they knew they would soon be safe
It was certainly a great sign

There before them was the light house
Standing tall with lights and fog horn
They heard a voice, "It`s lunch time boys"
Mum`s ended their playtime this morn!

Though they were tired, it had been fun
So after lunch they`d travel again
As sailing could be such hard work
Next time they would charter a plane!!


Loved playing imaginary games as a kid!!

International Women`s Day

we as women are strong
and yet we`re tender
we can be determined
as well as yielding
we love to be outgoing
and yet cuddle up on the sofa
power dress for an event
or slouch in Pjs and slippers
we are not slaves to be used
but women of many talents
able to juggle life's chores
and yet be loving and kind
so don`t underestimate us 
but rejoice with us for who we are!

Happy 60th Birthday Steve

Birthday poem for much missed husband!

Happy 60th Birthday Steve!

Memories are so precious

holding them secure in my heart

remembering the first time we met

we knew we`d never be apart!

love the way you made me giggle

and I`ll never forget watching rugby

driving holiday through the countryside

best of all,  knowing that you loved me!

can't believe you've turned sixty today

it's been too long since I've held you

so I'll bring you flowers and all my love
and wishing you Happy 60th Birthday too!

Springtime

Sunshine and daffodils

Pushing back the winter blues

Rejuvenating Mother Nature

Incredible colours burst into life

Nesting bird to scurrying mammals

Gardens bursting into bloom!

for here, time stands still

silent in contemplation

renewal of the soul
