Sail away from Sadness (poem)

17 Oct

Sail away from Sadness

Upon the island of sadness, hope is growing,
Upon the far horizon, dreams light up the sky.
Upon this dawn, the winds of promise are blowing,
Across the seas, the sounds of a new life drift by.
Yesterday’s stillness departs as the night fades away,
With dawn’s beginning, comes a journey towards hope.
Upon that sad island, you were never meant to stay,
You were just tied to its sadness with yesterday’s rope.

Release the rope and let your fears float out of sight,
Let dawns tide sweep you away from yesterday’s beach.
Let the wind of hope sail you towards the light,
Bringing the dreams of tomorrow within your reach.
From the stillness, move to where your life can restart,
Sail away from sadness, leaving the past behind.
Landing in tomorrow with fresh hope in your heart,
Where upon the new beach a new life you will find.

Dressing up is Child’s play (poem)

09 Oct

Dressing up is Child’s play

Quick! Mummy’s gone out to the garden, and Daddy’s in the shed,
Let’s go and see what it is they’ve hidden under their bed.
I heard Daddy say it’s a donation for the show next week,
But I’m sure it will be alright, if we go and take a peek.

I can see two large bags, you take the red and I’ll take the blue,
Wow! There’s lots of clothes and stuff in here that we can look through.
I’ve found some funny shaped slippers, each look like a fluffy pig,
Look! They fit over my shoes, and make my feet look so big!

You look funny wearing that shirt, it’s hiding your hands and knees,
And with that woolly hat on your head, your ears would never freeze.
This raincoat is huge! Both of us could fit in it together,
We could use it as a tent and stay outside in rainy weather.

I can see an orange scarf, deep down at the bottom in there,
That would look really good around the neck of our teddy bear.
Oh dear! Everything’s scattered on the bed and on the floor,
And now Mummy and Daddy have appeared, laughing by the door.

Time heals all wounds (poem)

03 Oct

Time heals all wounds

Let time pass, and just let things be,
Release this moment and set it free.
No need to hunt, nor seek to find,
But rest a while with a peaceful mind.

Let time pass, for this time will end,
And only with time will your heart mend.
Only with rest, will your strength regrow,
And only in peace will your pains go.

Let time pass, although it’s hard to do,
Only time can heal those wounds in you.
Trust that your heart knows its own way,
And is leading you to a brighter day.

Let time pass, let the future appear,
For a better world is coming near.
Within you is the strength to survive,
Within you, tomorrow is alive.
