Nan

of all the wondrous gifts in life
whether they were big or small
was having you Nan with us
the greatest gift of all


your bright smile lit up the room
and your cuddles were the best
making us laugh when we were down
our lives with you were very blessed

then the angels came and took you

now you`re sadly missed each day

yet fond memories we still have

for in our hearts you`ll always stay

(C) Lissie Bull 2016

Future memories

Words from my heart dance across the pages
painting pictures from deep within my soul
so let the ink from my pen flow freely
creating new memories to hold on too
never forget the power of these words
for they will remain long after we`re gone...!

" The Blacksmith "

Fire, steel, rivets and hammer

dust, noise, red hot metal

anvil, tongs and sheer power

the blacksmith has it all

forge fired up and ready

with tools all standing by

leather apron now in place

anticipation is high

arc of sparks from the grinder

flash across the workshop

powering on through the day

working hard until you drop

hammer clashes down on metal

an air of expectation

as slowly the piece is formed

stand back and see his creation

Words from the heart

Words are part of us all
whether they're written or spoken
found deep within our souls
and once released...
paint picture from our hearts
giving life to our inner thoughts
forming memories for the future
to be cherished by special people.!

Waterfall

Down in the depths of the forest

From what seems to be the heavens

Water cascades down with such force

Moving mountains as it goes

Pouring gallons over the edge

Deep into the bowels of the earth

White foaming masses of volume

Thundering past the solid rocks

Covering the area with fine spray

Crashing into the waters below

Roaring, pouring

Bashing, crashing

Thunderous sounds

Never ceasing, always flowing

The waterfall just keeps on going

I saw a lovely photo of a tall waterfall and found it fascinating.  Such power and beauty at the same time.  The movement and flow, yet so destructive too.

Clockwork Heart

Cog wheels turning
round and round they go
clicking back and forth
what`s hidden below

A secret compartment
tucked away from eyes
forbidden too all
but the lover`s surprise

A token of love
a gift most clever
tiny clockwork heart
to be held for ever

a lovers token for the heart....!!

Happy Birthday Mummy

Love waking up to your bright eyes
go digging for a surprise
dressing up in my disguise

with my mum who`s kind and wise

Love your laughter when we play
so full of joy in very way
your smile brightens up the day
Mummy wishing you, Happy Birthday

Kisses and cuddles
Scruffy Princess xXx

Watching a blacksmith at work is amazing, 
and I am honoured to have had the chance.
