My three amigos

this is a little poem in dedication to my three children, i dont see them as much as i would like, as they live far away and are very busy working but we keep in touch all the time and i look forward to seeing them x
They talked to me

These three little chaps

They would laugh 

And chatter

About this and that

Conversations 

Silly and fun

Their little lives 

Had just begun

Those days

They seem to last forever 

And I would never never 

At that time 

Believe it true 

How grown up

They would become 

Phew!

But time passes

Quickly it does

Lots of fun tears and fuss

Ado about serious things

And laughter 

We all just want

And need 

A happy ever after 

A struggle it has been

With adversity 

All unseen

But today

I’m feeling proud

And I would really like

To say aloud 

To my three amigos

My children as such

How I love you so very much

Each day I dearly think of you

And when I am feeling blue

I remember all our happy days

Which now seem so far away

When you were small

And life was cheerful

If only a little tearful

Then

Now you’re doing good

In the World so wide

Busy bees now

Grown

Not at my side 

But in my heart

Forever it’s true

I love you dearly

Through and through
So take the time to

Just say hi

As you your busy day goes by

When you’re young

Important tasks

Are only but a trivial mask

Cos what’s important 

Is to spend time 

With those you love

As soon

They’re gone

To heaven above

And in your heart

They will surely stay

Until we meet again one day 

As Grandad often said to me

Whilst we were

having cups of tea!

Truth and Trust

If you open your door

With the truth and trust

Then I may enter

If the door stays closed

Or half open so I may not see

Or peek only slightly

And take only a glimpse

of what lies in your heart

Amidst the turmoil

Please be true to your heart

Destiny

so …do you think your life is mapped out and your destiny is planned? Or do you plan your destiny? Does everything happen for a reason and if so why is that? Why do we have to justify the rubbish things that happen if our with it was meant to be, you are strong so thats why you have been given this awful thing to deal with? Is it really fair? what do you think?
our destiny is in whose hands

the stars above guide the way

to each and every one of us

every single day

what we plan to do

our hopes and dreams

and all these very wonderful schemes

is it too much or just a fuss

that we try to think 

what is the best

and somethings will take the test

it may put us on the brink

as not simple they may be

would i rather just drink tea!

but is our pathway made for us

for real

by something we dont know

is it just a steal

or do we conjure it up ourselves what do you think

that instant karma

that puts us in the pink 

or not so good

when it is blue

so what do you believe

it is 

that makes our pathway

good or just a tis?

Media Magic

this media game is quite dodgy…

really it is you know…

So take it seriously

 And it could cause a terrible blow

To your ego or what?

What? What’s app you say!

What’s app!

Vorail

Zello

Messenger

Twitter

Facebook

They all say “hi”

As I watch the day go by

But what is real?

And what is not?

Are you my friend?

Oh I forgot!

You’ve blocked me

Im in the mute bin again – why?

So now I’ll go away and cry!

She said this

And he said that

Today someone is wearing a different hat!

They swap them daily

There is love then trouble

It all emerges from this media bubble!

I get confused …

Who is my friend?

They often change their tune

So much!

Can drive you round the flipping bend!

So I’ll play some music

Just say “hey!”

Perhaps my knight in shining armour

… will ride by today!

It’s all good fun  .. it is isnt it?!?!

Just a game

Our World will never be the same…

So many people to chat to now

I really don’t see how

There are so many folks with whom I can converse!

Millions!

So I’ll write a poem or just a verse

We’ll share pictures with each other

Causing shock and hails of laughter!

Say meaningful quotes

and jokes so funny

it really will make my day quite sunny

my dinner plate for all to see

my dear little cat

and my dog with a flea!

My family all hide its true

they dont always want to say “hi” to you!

you might not be “cool”

enough you see

if you havent  been out for afternoon tea!

Could even find

Someone

For happy ever after!

Yes … that knight in shining armour!

where is he

now is he really in love with me!

he might pop up here

To wipe away my tear…

or take my imaginary hand

and walk with me across the invisible sand

But today I’ll put the iPad down

I know there is another clown

Sending me messages

or pulling a funny face

or saying daft words

to make me pace

But I really i dont want to talk

And im going for a walk

To see some trees and a field

A lovely wholesome surrounding

Does somehow yield

The simple happiness

to stop my heart from pounding

so i will take some simple steps

it only takes a couple, mind

to leave this social screen behind

And find the place

I once knew

As a child years ago where I grew

So I’ll say fare thee well

My media pals

I won’t be seeing you for a while…

Have a good day

And do be kind

On these social media platforms

Please stay calm dont cause a storm

And have in mind

For the hearts of those behind their profile

They are real souls you know …

So heed them gently do .. as you go

I know some play games

So best just say “boo!”

or “get lost!”

your sanity it could cost!

And take what you hear with a pinch of salt

Or you could be caught

in a net of cross wires

and media trivia

by some teasing twitterer or facebook diva!

It may seem real

It may not..

Who knows

Who cares

It can soon be forgot!

You see the fresh air and countryside call me now

So I will really go this time …

To be alone amid grass and flowers

Rather than with millions on my little phone app

Where there are profiles friendly real  and false …so.. trillions!

And how is that?

The Globes so changed so fast

Will this media magic surely last!

It’s all quite crazy

But I’ll keep my head above the water

Even though it’s quite hazy

We must not falter

And keep life real

It’s no big deal

So wheres my Polly dog?

Off we go for a walk

Let’s talk..

 reality …

and feel that lovely grass beneath my feet

Again..so wonderful

to be free….

of media

and feel the cool breeze on my skin

lets being

to live again….

and if you are in luck

you might bump into a duck!

Life

Sometimes I have such joy and life  in my heart

For Life

My energy is there

My heart is beating

So happy

And so fulfilled

I have done so much

Really.. already ..

The time goes by

So quickly

This life

Should I grow old..

And die .. so soon

But my heart

Wants to go on forever

I have so much to do still

To experience

I dont want to leave

You now

Could I stay a bit longer ?

But my body around my soul

Won’t stay…

And all these memories

Experiences I have

Will be lost

In The the dust

I leave behind

I feel such sorrow today

As I remember my dear mum and dad

As their dust

Fills the sky

With their beautiful souls

Never forgotten

And deep within my blood

That fills my veins

From them

To my children

And so we will live

Forever

If only in a dream

I can remember

My ancestry

In my veins

Flashbacks

Querks

Behaviour

That was theirs

Is mine

Is now yours

My child

I may lose sight of it….

I once painted in colours bright

I loved the World with all my might

I took photos

still do sometimes …

I studied artist  all round the globe

This was my passion

Not just a fashion

Creation

But now my tears are falling

There is a mist

I don’t like this…

I’d sooner be kissed

With the colours that fed my soul

And gave my goal

A purpose …

And now poetry is filling my mind

As each morning I find

My mist grows greater

The colours are failing

Where once I had a paint brush in hand

Now I am wailing

And ask the powers that be

The same old question

“Why me?”

What purpose is this tiresome road I tred

So difficult and surreal

Is there new dreams to be fed

As I ponder for a while

Really is this the deal?

Where once colours were blended

And to my true feelings

No one really tended…

I sit here alone

In this dreadful time

where my sight defies to

No longer be mine

Whilst those around me fuss argue and bother

In their little words with their own cute wonder

I say “yes of course I’m fine”

“I always am and always will be”

“I’ll get you a cuppa tea,

oh sorry you’ve had a bad day”

“Oh me, have troubles … no way!”

“So… how many sugars do you have in your tea?”

“So sit down and watch the world go round with me….”

“I’m fine…

”

 

My Knight on the Highway cometh

I have cried an ocean of tears

Will they wash away my fears

And hold the depth

To carry the boat

That brings my true love to me ..

My knight on the highway is lost

And above all cost

Will he find his way to me

Once his sturdy steed is fed

And all amnesty is fled

My arms wait patiently warm

I feel the calm

As he wends his weary way to me

Paint a poem

I once painted in colours bright

I loved the World with all my might

I took photos

still do sometimes …

I studied artist  all round the globe

This was my passion

Not just a fashion

Creation

But now my tears are falling

There is a mist

I don’t like this…

I’d sooner be kissed

With the colours that fed my soul

And gave my goal

A purpose …

And now poetry is filling my mind

As each morning I find

My mist grows greater

The colours are failing

Where once I had a paint brush in hand

Now I am wailing

And ask the powers that be

The same old question

“Why me?”

What purpose is this tiresome road I tread

So difficult and surreal

Is there knew dreams to be fed

As I ponder for a while

Really, what is the deal?

This prose fill my head

Where once colours were blended

And to my true feelings

No one really has tended …

I sit here alone

In this dreadful time

Where my sight defies to

No longer be mine

Whilst those around me fuss argue and bother

In their little worlds with their own cute wonder

I say “yes of course I’m fine”

“I always am and always will be”

“I’ll get you a cuppa tea,

oh sorry you’ve had a bad day”

“Oh me, have troubles … no way!”

“So… how many sugars do you have in your tea?”

“So sit down and watch the world go round with me….”

“I’m fine…

so take your time

you may never understand

None of us surely do

what each of our Worlds contain

what dream, thoughts scares or what we must do…

to get through with our woes…. i will listen to you

of course it takes time

And i’d be grateful if you could listen

because im not really that fine

But all things must settle

My paint brush you see

is sketching words now

so fluently!

a love poem…

I have cried an ocean of tears

Will they wash away my fears

And hold the depth

To carry the boat

That brings my true love to me ..

My knight on the highway is lost

And above all cost

Will he find his way to me

Once his sturdy steed is fed

And all amnesty is fled

My arms wait patiently warm

I feel the calm

As he wends his weary way to me

Just a quote …❤️

If you love something let it go

If it comes back to you

It’s yours forever

If it doesn’t 

It was never meant to be
