There is no need to apologise, my friend (poem)

29 Jun

There is no need to apologise, my friend

There is no need to apologise, I do understand
Just take the time you need, perhaps I can lend a hand.
You have helped me so many times before when in need,
Now it is my time for me to return the good deed.
If you just need some time to rest for a little while,
Then just let me know when you are ready for a smile.
If you are feeling unwell, is there something I can do?
Just say if you need anything sorted out for you.
For now, just do what it is that you need to this day,
Remember I am there if you need me in some way.

The splinters of yesterday (poem)

23 Jun

The splinters of yesterday

Passing through splinters, the creations of yesterday,
After the explosion that tossed them all around.
Those fragments of your past, around you they spin and sway,
Swirling close to you as they fall slowly to the ground.

It’s a dramatic ending to that life you once knew,
Those splinters can be painful as they go swirling by.
But as they spread, a new world’s coming into view.
Thinning out, they bring to you glimpses of a new sky.

Slowly the view changes, a new life is appearing,
Although some splinters lay there buried within your heart.
But each day’s improving and the pain’s disappearing,
And over time all those splinters will fade and depart.

The joys of tomorrow lie within this spinning cloud,
Those splinters were part of yesterday agony.
But the splinters will fall, like the releasing of a shroud,
They cannot linger within your life’s new destiny.

Time will sweep them away, taking all their pain and strife.
The breeze of new hope will leave the space around you clean.
Leaving a better view, revealing a better life,
Towards tomorrow, only clear skies can now be seen.

I have found a new day! (poem)

15 Jun

I have found a new day!

I have found a new day! It was just waiting there for me,
All I had to do was wake up, and there it was to see.
I know I found one yesterday, but that is in my past,
Between now and tonight, this new day is going to last.
All fresh and new, ready for me to go out and explore,
It is a different day to the one that went before.

So how shall I begin this day? Should I become grumpy?
Talking with a growl and making everyone jumpy.
No! this new day is not meant for that, it is all brand new,
Why waste it with a frown before it has come into view.
Why ruin what could become a day where my life has fun,
Why put a black mark on something that has barely begun.

I could go around laughing, but just what would others think?
That maybe I’m going crazy and need to see a shrink!
That maybe I enjoyed drinking one too many, last night.
No! that is not who I will be, when I come into sight.
Let them all see someone who is sober when I go out,
I do not want to be stared at when I’m walking about.

So, I shall start this day in neutral, neither fast nor slow,
And reflect for a short while on how I want it to go.
Perhaps I will just let it roll in and see what is there.
What happened to me yesterday, this day is unaware.
Today’s a chance to leave yesterdays’ problems far behind,
Let’s just get up and see what, in this new day, I will find.
