Always and Forever
You are the sun that keeps me warm. The moon that guards me while I sleep. The frost that warns to wrap up well To keep the cold at bay. You are the rain washing tears away. The wind that carries me to safety. The breeze that whispers I love you. You are the thunder shouting loud I’m always here for you. My Always and forever. My Future and my past.
The Delivery
I am waiting for a delivery.
My lovely new wardrobe.
Between 7am and 5pm expected.
It is now 7.59 am.
Still no delivery.
I can’t wash the dishes,
I can’t hoover the room,
Just in case I don’t hear that knock.
I am staring at the window.
Watching for the van.
I need a cup of tea,
But what if while the cup is brewing,
The man in the van draws near.
The dog is asleep so he won’t hear a thing.
Ooh I’ve just had a text from the delivery man.
My wardrobe will be delivered,
Between 13.45 and 17.45.
At least I can relax now.
BUT WAIT!
What if they are early.
I Am Me
Life can be good.
Life can be bad.
Deliriously happy.
Incredibly sad.
Some friends stick by you,
Some walk away.
For some rhyme and reason,
They choose not to stay.
Making mistakes,
To trust the unworthy.
It opens your eyes,
To make you more worldly.
Not blessed with riches,
Well, not riches you see.
While my heart beats a rhythm,
I will always be me.
One Of Those Days
I think I’m having one of those days.
The morning is just one long haze.
Banged my arm on the door,
I admit it, I swore,
The tap was still running,
Today it’s not funny.
My socks I can’t find,
They’re trying to hide,
The dog tripped me over,
And over and over.
The newspaper’s not read,
Spectacles lost on my head.
Cold coffee avoid,
The kettles not boiled.
RELAX
DEEP BREATH
PHEW.
Now I’ve forgot what I wanted to do.
My Rock
You have been my rock.
You are the light at the end of the tunnel.
Every single day is made more special
Just because you are part of it.
You held my hand and pulled me from the darkness
That strangled my inner soul.
At last I could breathe again.
My eyes can see so clearly now,
Once sheilded by a cloud now dispersed.
I feel alive.
I am alive.
I am complete.
Great Aunt Laura
I saw your photo for the first time today.
You were aged with beauty.
A black and white image,
Taken decades ago.
I knew your name,
Laura.
In a small Lincolnshire village your life began.
1893 was the year.
You were born a mile away
From where I spent my childhood.
How could I not know this.
With tears in my eyes
I run my finger down your face.
Now as I look at my family tree
I can see you there.

Autumn Colours
Welcome back to Autumn.
I have missed your vibrant wonder.
The rich deep colours you share
With roads and paths.
Leaves of so many shades.
Golden Flora.
Red and yellow,
Green and beige.
That snap you hear when walking
On the fallen leaf.
The morning mist hiding all,
Until it chooses to clear.
Frost that wraps itself around your fingertips.
It’s time to find the gloves and scarves,
Hidden in the attic when the spring
Showed its face.
Nights are growing longer and colder.
Prompting folk to light the fires.
Keeping the cold at bay.
Autumn.
I have missed you.
