Spring is pushing out winter (poem)

Nature is coming to life

Spring is pushing out winter

Spring is pushing out winter as the leaves begin to show,
Blossom’s on the branches as spring flowers begin to grow.
Daisies and buttercups are appearing through the gasses,
The gaps of winter are fading with each day that passes.

The bees are seen once more as they buzz between the flowers,
The sun is getting warmer in between the spring showers.
Summer birds are returning, each day a few more are seen,
Back from the warmer lands, where for the winter they have been.

The hedgehogs appear as they waken from their winter sleep,
Across the farmers fields, lambs can be seen amongst the sheep.
Spring is pushing out winter from the bushes and the trees,
The gaps filling with leaves, swaying gently in the spring breeze.

I haven’t run out of my dreams yet (poem)

There is a dream in there somewhere

I haven’t run out of my dreams yet

I haven’t run out of my dreams yet,
Although it may now seem that way.
It just that I sometimes forget,
To remember them upon this day.

They are all still there deep within,
Safe and secure within my heart.
So, perhaps it’s time to begin,
To seek out a dream to restart.

I will take a moment or two,
Remembering what they all were.
Then pluck one back into view,
And with my life, give it a stir.

It can wash away all the gloom,
That this world has installed in me.
In my mind, make plenty of room,
Preparing to set the dream free.

I will open my life once more,
To all that the dream has to give.
I will seek out happiness door,
And let this dream begin to live.

Should I worry or not? (poem)

What a choice to make at dawn!

Should I worry or not?

Should I worry or not? Just which should I do?
Which way should I choose, I have not got a clue.
Should I stay calm and serene, give a big smile?
Show that all is well, at least for a short while.
Or should I worry about what I’ve forgot?
Show everyone that I have lost the plot?
Not an easy choice in this new day that I see,
So let’s just choose between a coffee or tea.

What use is worrying? What would it achieve?
What benefit would the world or I receive?
I know that everything may not be right,
But does that mean I should worry and take flight?
Just what good would it do if I let fear win?
So with a touch of calmness, this day will begin.
Who knows, my worry’s may yet all fade away,
Dissolved by calmness as I walk through this day.

Looking back at memories (poem)

We are all that has come before

Looking back at memories

Looking back at memories, both the new and the old,
Each of them with their own special story to be told.
Each of them a part of the person you are today,
Each of them collected as you travelled on your way.

Both the happy and the sad are bundled up in there,
Some come to make you smile, while others are hard to bear.
Some bring back images of places you used to go,
Others bring back memories of people you used to know.

The memories of your childhood are found at the start,
And in the adult you became, they each played their part.
Then comes the memories of facing the world around,
Adventures that were taken, new places that you found.

Upon life’s journey, your memories define your past,
Some seem to gently fade, while others were made to last.
Some seem so far away, while others feel so near,
All of them created the person who’s standing here.

Memories are forever being made in your life,
Created in times of joy as well as in times of strife.
Created in a sequence, each adding their own worth,
Each telling the story of your life upon this Earth.
