Separation

You said that you were leaving

I said

"Don't go, please stay!"

You said

"There are a few things

we should talk about today"

We've been together 10 years now

Not all of them were bad

Some gave happy memories

But some were also sad

But now you want a change

You said

"I need some time to think"

I said

"Is there another?"

You didn't even blink!

"She's someone I've been working with

and she's not like all the rest"

I said

"You've taken all I had

and now she takes the rest!"

"I won't give you a second chance

So don't give me a second glance

It's over now

There is no more

So pack your case

and there's the door!"

Everyone's Got One!

Everybody's got one

So why haven't I?

How many times 

have I heard my children cry?

You never get me

the same as all the others

Why can't you be kind

Just like other Mothers!

I wanted a real Cat

Just like hers

Mine needs batteries

But her one really purrs

He's got a Red Car

and my car is Black

Could you please consider

..taking it back?

Oh you are awful!

Oh you are cruel!

Everybody's got one 

in my School!

Now That You've Gone

Everywhere I go

and everything I see

Brings back all the memories

of you and me

I think of you an awful lot

and now your photos

are all I've got

You really meant the World to me

The only one my eyes could see

Your cheeky grin and big warm smile

will stay with me for quite a while

So now you're gone,I'm so alone

I'm sitting in what once was HOME

Now it's just a place to stay

I'll never feel another way

Without you here,I just survive

Oh God! I wish you were alive

The Mouse

When all the World is sleeping

When the Sun has gone to bed

A little Mouse comes creeping

from a hole beneath my bed

He's looking for the crumbs I've dropped

upon the Bedroom floor

and then he checks the other rooms

in case he finds somemore

Silently he returns again

Whereupon I wait

To see if he has found the cheese

I left for him as bait

........BANG!

Rocker

Turn that Music down! I scream

This is a Nightmare, not a dream

My Son's discovered Music

and unfortunately- it's Rock

My head is reeling

This is such a shock

He's gelling his hair in front of the mirror

He's got to wear his T Shirt "just right"

His Trousers look all messy and torn

To me, his poor Mum

He looks such a sight

Playing 'Air Guitar'

He's looking quite mean

As he jumps and strums 

to the sounds of Queen

"You're so old fashioned"

is his usual reply

but my Son is only

a 10 year old Guy!!

New Beginnings

Another Year gone by

A new page is turned

Many mistakes were made

but new lessons learned

We can't turn back that page

But move forwards, we must

Set foot upon the right path

In our instincts, we must trust

We, ourselves know what we need

Deep down within our Hearts

But getting to the finish line

We're bound to make false starts

Take each day and set your goal

Then try hard to achieve

But don't feel down, if all is lost

In you, you must believe

Peace at Last

I'm walking through a Tunnel

towards a shining light

There's peace within my Heart now

I'm doing what feels right

I'm not in any pain now

I shed that when I died

I'm going to meet some long-lost friends

who're on the 'other side'

They're waiting there to greet me

I will not be alone

So dry your eyes, be comforted

that Heaven's my new home
