An Extra Day! (poem)

29 Feb

An Extra Day!

An extra day! And one that was never planned to be.
So, by good fortune, I just happen to have it free.
What shall I make of it? For there is so much I could do.
So much that I could explore, before this day is through.

As this day begins, I have no place that I must go,
So, if I wanted to, I could just watch the garden grow,
Sit back, take it easy… Or shall I go out for a walk?
Seek the company of friends and find a place we can talk.

Perhaps there’s somewhere I could go, help out for the day,
And make this world a better place, in some special way.
I know that within me, I have some skills that I can share,
So maybe have a day, where I show the world that I care.

Let this day end in a better place than at the start,
Let this day end with knowing I have given it my heart.
That whether I was busy, calm, alone or with friends,
Peace I did find, and happiness is there when it ends.

Why Me? (poem)

22 Feb

Why Me?

Why me? Upon this tired day,
Are the only words I want to say?
It feels today that all has gone wrong,
And in my life, I do not belong.

Upon this seat I now sit and stare,
And think of the life that once was there,
When blue skies ruled and the birds did fly,
And the sun rose gloriously up high.

Now it seems that everything’s gone grey,
My life has gone a different way.
That all my plans have fallen through,
Where, my world once bright, is now so blue.

But have I really got this view right?
Are my dreams truly out of sight?
This may not be the future I planned,
But this is my life, where I now stand!

I do not have to sit here and cry,
But instead, look up at that dark sky,
And seek for the stars that live up there,
And let them guide me to, who knows where?

Perhaps I may find a better path,
That will lead me to where I can laugh.
That those first plans were not right for me,
So let’s start walking and go and see.

From the Oceans to the Mountains (poem)

15 Feb

From the Oceans to the Mountains

From the Earth’s deepest ocean, up to the mountains high,
Can be found all the creatures that crawl, run, swim or fly.
Life has found a way, wherever space could be found,
Whether it’s high up in the trees, or down on the ground.
Around us are all the wonders that this living world gives,
A world spinning in space, and where all of humankind lives.

This precious Earth of ours is the only world that we know,
Where life can be found, and where rivers of water flow.
A precious commodity, and one that we all share,
A world full of wonder, and for which we should all care.
Where animals can live and have the freedom to roam,
And somewhere for our children to forever call home.
