Sleep well......

I kiss your cheek to say good night
and wish you sweet dreams til dawn
sending up a prayer to your Guardian Angel
to wrap you safely in their soft proctective wings
until I greet you when you awake tomorrow morn...!

Mysteries of Nature

Curly creations of nature
dressing the trees as with hair
so beautifully sculptured
wafting in the afternoon air

nature can be so surprising
amongst the textures of each tree
shapes and colours that tempt you
such magical mysteries to see


for as each single tree grows
slowly filling it`s own space

creating intrigue all around
building on this ancient place.

Our Angel Sid..!


Special memories build a bridge
when our loved ones have departed
helping us to feel we`re connected
soothes the pain of the down hearted

memories of you span many years
for Sid, you were one of a kind
partner, father and grandparent
our bridge give us peace of mind

Many Hats of Motherhood

To be a "Jack of all trades"

is a hard thing to bear

cook, seamstress or banker

so many hats to wear

not forgetting councillor

that`s a demanding one to be

cleaner and taxi driver

there`s loads of places to see

barber and housekeeper

I`m always on the go

entertainer or teacher

learning all the time, you know

there are so many titles

for the one job many hate
but for me, it`s so rewarding

as being a Mother is just great!!

Just saying!!

Taking Back my Life

In recent years, it`s been quite stressful bringing up four kids without their father.
Now they are young adults, it`s time for me to think of what I would like to be.
Youngest one is now at uni, so I know I can start to find my life and start to live it again.

Stress has been a major problem for me along with not having a partner to talk problems through or general company
.
Now I would love to see my kids start to live their own lives, fledge and move on to the next stage of their journey through life.

I can`t wipe their noses or tie their shoe laces any more, for that is their responsibility from now on.  I`m not going to cook and clean for them as they need to do this for themselves.  Though I`ll always be there for support and guidance, no matter where they are.

I am taking back my life !!
I`m going to be me !!
This is my year and I am going to smile and laugh once more !!

There I`ve said it....so it must be true, and if I post it on here, then I have to go through with it all....and live again for me !!

How will I do this, I hear you say......well lets try this ....

Smile when I wake up each morning....
See the good in everyone
Say hello to all I meet 
Be thankful for all I have or have received
Help someone each and every day
Feel free and loved....
Give thanks every evening before I go to bed !!

Hopefully this will help me to smile, laugh, be happy and live again.

This is my new life, new world....and happiness too.

How about you ?

Smile..... 

Be strong and smile
for you`re incredible
show the whole world
that you`re invincible 

with your best friend Sophia
purring by your side
there`s nothing you should fear
be happy and full of pride

so when you`re feeling sad
remember how special you are
for you`re one in a million
Sarah, shine like a bright star !

Fencing

With epee or saber, in your hand
meet your opponent on the piste today
all dressed in white, with helmet on
it`s a gentry`s sport all the way

Pulsating Beat.....

there`s anticipation in the air
drums, mic, guitars and bass
all that`s wanted is the band
come on! let crank up the pace

then as the lights start to flash
to the shouts from the crowd
thumping beat of the music
feeling the pulse good and loud

for as they strut their stuff
racing around the stage
hyping up the audience
almost into a rage

screaming out the lyrics
head banging to the beat
for the band`s in their zone
playing in this pulsating heat
