This poem means a lot to me, I first wrote it on a piece of card as it was the only thing I had to hand.  I now have a notepad and pencil with me all the time.  I still have the card but the words are very faded.

This is a poetic way to describe a life through feet ( so to speak) I was sitting with my baby son, watching him sleep and tenderly touching his tiny feet.

Tiny Feet

Tiny feet that mean so much

to hold gently and to care for

love and tenderly caress

encourage along life`s way

surround and then enclose

in protection, keep them safe

care for them and heal them

from danger and harms hurts

watch them grow and develop

show them independence

let them go without a tear

no more soft cotton wool

good and healthy. fit and strong

all the love to live life through.

The Guitarist 
~~~~~~~~~

A lovingly crafted guitar
six taut strings vibrating with sound
as fingers pluck out the rhythm
while others dance over the frets
for music fills the whole room
a sense of well being is found
hands moving swiftly with each strum...
creating wondrous melodies
watching the pleasure of playing
feeling the music in your soul
from tender lilting serenades
to lively jazz and rock and roll

If music is the food of love
then play on my talented guitarist

 Latest Name verse for lovely Richard as  gift from his family.

Richard

Reliable and hard working 
Inquisitive in how things work
Cheeky and adventurous
Handyman around the house
Always laughing and smiling
Ready for a new challenge
Devoted to his family

Father

I found myself thinking of you today
and just wanted to say a big thank you
for as I realise you`ve moved to heaven
 I`m left here wondering what I should do

missing your great wisdom and kindness

that`s helped me on my journey through life
so now you can rest in tranquillity
as you are reunited with your wife

for fathers are very special people
guiding their family along their way
so glad I had you to teach me it all
and saddened, now we`ve had our last day

so on this sad occasion I remember
all our memories here to treasure
adored you and will miss you always
sending you love on this angel`s feather

Giants of Bristol Zoo

majestic city elephants

who have reigned in Bristol Zoo

for more than a hundred years

each a character through and through

cheeky Zebi, who stole straw hats

from many an elegant Victorian punter

a gift to the Zoo from a maharajah 

she was greatly loved wonder

Rajah, sported magnificent tusks

only male through the Zoo`s history

arriving from Calcutta in 1913

he certainly added to Bristol`s story

Judy was a sweet little character

not tall in stature but big in heart

bringing a smile to all who met her

in her decorated blanket, looking smart

Rosie was a very different elephant

she was large, strong and gave rides

such a character seen around the zoo

blanket and howdah strapped to her sides

Christina and Wendy who lived together

taken for walks across the nearby Downs

for these two were amazing mammals

playful pachyderms in the zoo grounds

after losing Christina, Wendy was the last

people have missed them, that`s evident

Bristol Zoo rolls on to it`s next adventure 

that will hopefully include an new elephant!

Grieving!

Great loss felt within my grieving heart
Remembering all our precious moments

Images of our life, create tears in the soul
Everywhere around me, I feel you there
Visions of you fill my head in my dreams

I know you walk silently beside me

Now you have your wings and fly free

Grief is an emotion that helps heal us

Once 

in a while

in the middle

of an ordinary life

love gives us a fairy tale
