The old mans fable
Do not consider me frail, do not consider me weak
Although I may walk at the speed of a snail and find the inclines rather steep
Do not consider me past it, do not consider me fractious
For I have lived for many a year but that does not make me not belong here
For my heart still beats and I can still move my feet, just not as fast as you
So think twice when you give me your ...

Someday soon..who knows..maybe.
What is this mental condition 'depression' that has befriended me so well ?
I feel part of the belonging yet I do'nt really belong here
Is this person really me ?
She seems so different, she seems lost in the confusion of this illness
I want to find my way out of here
I want to be away from this 'depression' and be myself again...
someday soon..
who knows..

Short and sweet
Life is great as I close the front door walk down the path and go out through the gate
Life is great as the sun beats down from lovely blue skys and people smile not frown.....

AN AFRICAN MOTHERS LOSS
Come sit by me my little one
Let me wipe the tears from your eyes
Your so dear to me my precious son
Your tender life not long begun
The pain in your body I know it's bad
Supplies didn't arrive today
Your big brown eyes so pitifully sad
For the heat of the sun took your food away
We listen each day, we look to the skies
All of us with our pitiful...

LIFE'S PUZZLE
Life is one huge puzzle from birth to death
Actions, words, thoughts, emotions all fuelled by each incoming breath
Until the end when you breathe no more and you go knocking on Heaven's door
You would think you have been lucky if each piece fitted into place
That you would be unlucky if you went searching to fill each empty space
But then have you been lucky if all falls int...

CHEEKY MONKEY
Oh you cheeky little monkey why you sitting in that tree
Dangling my car key and laughing loud at me
A daytrip to safari park and stepped out for a pee
You saw that golden moment when you snatched away my key
For you knew that I'd be busy with my little twinkle dee
Well just you wait my time will come
When you jump down and I smack your bum
For you will get such a sh...

QUESTION AND ANSWER
Where does the inspiration come from? with the memories of the past full flowing in my mind
Where does the inspiration come from? fresh thoughts I need to find
But the past it seems to haunt me, my memories are strong
Of sad and happy things of which I once belonged
But life goes on regardless and new paths I need to take
So where does the inspiration come from? I need to st...

gentle rain
Rain it falls so gently on the waiting earth below
Little budding plants drink so to make them grow
Grow into beautiful blossoms sending out lots of love
Thankful for the rain falling gently from above...

PERFECT DAY
The sun shines bright this day, the sky is so still
Flowers bloom ,in the distance a hill
Horses grazing in the field,golden wheat the farmer will yield
Country lane soiled baked with heat
Cows swishing tails ,green grass they eat
Dogs in yard of cottage painted white
Washing on rope,lady on chair
Reading her book , resting herself
My lunchbreak over,back to city...

START OF A NEW DAY
The dawn is breaking the sun shows her face
Another day is born in this lovely place
The grass it stands so proud the daisies raise their heads
Little baby rabbits from burrows they do peep
Little nostrils twitching and stretching out their legs
Ready for the new day as they leave behind their sleep
Ready to seek adventure outwith their cosy beds ........

Hopeful Recovery
I stir from my sleep the feelings are there
As I draw my morning breath my minds in despair
The gnawing and the clawing on my guts they take revenge
These demons that haunt me they never seem to lend
To lend respite to my dilemma
They just burn like glowing embers
Taking over my mind it feels so never ending
As I go on pretending and pretending
Pretending that I'm trying when inside I feel...

Freedom of the Butterfly
Chitter chatter chitter chatter on the phone with friends for hours and hours
Whiling away time now I am alone in this place we once called home
So much has changed since you have been gone
My life is trying to move on
The constant stress you did create is taken over by another stress but one trying not to hate
Things are so different now my life has changed but your presence still remains

Left versus Right
Funny ha ha or Funny being strange
Funny telling jokes or Funny being deranged
Such a jolly being or Such a prick de-brained
Such a gentile soul or Such a beast untamed
The left of me is wholesome The right of me is maimed
The left can stay and pleasure The right can stay in chains.

Mixed Emotions
The heart is such a complex thing
It pumps and beats like a finely tuned machine
But unlike a machine it feels emotions
That can carry you down into the deepest oceans
Or carry you upwards full of love and devotions
What will today bring I wonder
What does my heart want to feel I ponder
Do I think of you and dive down so deep
To the d...
