Helping Angel

In times of trouble, 
my angel is there
standing by my side 
showing kindness and care

a hand on my shoulder, 
softness of voice
helping me to think, 
giving me a choice

since losing you, 
I've found it hard to cope
missing your strength, 
just needing some hope

so having my angel 
to show me the way
gives me the courage 
to live another day



Having an angel with me is a wonderful thing....

Sunset through my window

I see the sunset through my window
all its bright colours for me to see
each pane of glass showing a picture
at the end of the day I feel so free

As the sun starts to slowly dip down
and the shadows stretch across the ground
splashes of oranges, reds and purples
I see the whole horizon crowned

Each pane shows a piece of the puzzle
as this sunset signals the end of the day
the light filters in through the square glass
showing it`s beauty in every way

I enjoy watching the sun go down
as the colours merge and change again
for each sunset is very different
and I see them all through window pane


I have always loved sunset, and each evening as the sun dips down, the patterns of colours are always different.  Always puts a smile on my face..!

My favourite season is spring, where everything is waking up and happiness is found in the soul.  Mother Nature has enjoy her winter slumber.

Daffodils and tulips

Daffodils and tulips

standing proud on my table

bright yellows and purples

flowering tall and stable

sun catching on the petals

almost transparent in the light

sweet scent filling the room

Oh, such an awesome sight

each morning these flowers

greet me with a loving smile

fills my day with such joy

making everything worthwhile

Spring flowers in my room

so everything is glorious.

bringing the outdoors in here

fill my heart with happiness

Where do we go to be judged....?

This dark cold space between worlds
suspending you in clouds of fire
muffled sounds seem so haunting
this is not a place of desire

such a hard bitter world of sadness
somewhere to await your destiny
screams heard in the background
where you may meet your enemy

a cold wind blows through this place
chilling you deep to the bone
as you`re quacking at the knees
while in the darkness all alone

wondering what will happen next
which world will be my destination?
need to move towards the light
this will be to my salvation




Judgement Day,  where will we go afterwards..?

Spring time

First signs of spring are awesome to see
acknowledging that winter has finished
warmer days and shorter nights are here
the cold seasonal blues have diminished

nature is waking up from the cold season
buds of bright colours peeping through the earth
frogs croaking, birds singing,  warms the heart
creation in showing the world its worth

as the clocks change and the days grow longer
wild life appears in woodland and field
preparing their nests for their new families
from their predators,  they are concealed

bumble bee buzzing around the garden
pollinating the pinks apple bloom
the garden becomes alive with colours
filling the air with sweet scented perfume

spring brings a festival of colour
as creation explodes in action
the earth has awoken from her slumber
creation smiles in satisfaction



Love the spring time, when the earth explodes in to colour and nature comes out of hibernation.
Makes your soul smile with sheer joy..!

These feelings....

Can feel such a chill in here
air so thick you could cut it
as tension`s so tightly strung
don`t want to make this a habit

all muscles taut from the stress
blood pounding in my ears
feelings of desolation
are heightening my fears

for who can I trust now
after all this bitterness?
they have shown their true colours
thrown me into the wilderness

feelings trying to strangle me
deep hurt within my heart
a need to be loved again
tearing my whole being apart

these feeling are so horrid
just want them all to go away
to know the warmth of true love
to walk tall again one day



Feelings affect us in so many ways and should never be taken for granted....

My Mother was the Best!

My mother was one of the best

she really took good care of me

always had a smile to share

a plaster when I scrapped my knee

she woke me up in the morning

gave a big hug last thing at night

let me learn through my mistakes

and her advice was always right

enjoyed the help she gave me then

and miss her wisdom now she`s gone

problem shared, was a problem halved

was the best advice she passed on

taking in all that she has taught me

I understand motherhood much more

the joys of passing on your love

has helped me cope better, I'm sure!

I miss sharing a cuppa with her

after a long arduous time through traffic

walking round the garden together

discussing the latest topic

Mother, you were one of the best

I stand and celebrate this day

giving thanks for all you have done

Love you on this Mothering Sunday!

Love and miss you always xxx

Bubbling brook

In the bright afternoon sun
as bees buzz round the flowers
this little river babbles by
somewhere I can sit for hours

Clear cool water bubbling by
rippling over the river bed
the soothing sound so peaceful
under the cherry blossom red

Sun flickering through the trees
that are perched along the way
sparkling across the surface
on this sunny tranquil day

While birds sing and frogs croak
and the water gurgles past
so relaxing in the sunshine
hope that this peace will last


roll on the long summer days.....!
