Nature gives to us this world (poem)

Nature gives to us this world

Nature brings the seasons, a changing world all around,
Where all animals roam and plants push up through the ground.
Nature has a rhythm, rotating through night and day,
When darkness comes, nature knows the dawn is on its way.
Winter turns to spring, the flowers awaken and rise,
Spring turns to summer, nature grows under warmer skies.
Summer turns to autumn, the willows begin to weep,
Autumn turns to winter, nature starts to go to sleep.

Nature brings the weather, calm days and violent storms,
Creating the landscape in all its different forms.
Creating rolling deserts, with its camels walking,
Or tropical rainforests, where tigers go stalking.
Near the poles, the polar bears and penguins raise their young,
All over the world the birds fly and their songs are sung.
From the rain on the mountains, the rivers start to flow,
Nature gives to us this world and all the life we know.

Just what is this world coming too? (poem)

22 Jul

Just what is this world coming too?

Just what is this world coming too?
Just where is it going today?
What are we all trying to do?
Does anyone here know the way?

I woke up confused this morning,
Unsure of the person to be.
As I stood stretching and yawning,
I looked at the world around me.

Everything there is changing,
It’s not the world I use to know.
There is too much rearranging,
A different world’s now on show.

What can I do to improve things?
Can I bring this all to a stop?
Keep a world where the robin sings,
And where the bunnies can still hop.

Standing here in deep reflection,
I look around at what I’ve got,
What can help from my selection,
And the answer is ‘not a lot’.

So, what around me can I move?
What here can help me to begin?
I realised that to improve,
The changes must start from within.

Step by step I’ll change how I live,
Or at least not do any harm.
Where there’s hate, learn to forgive,
Where there’s anger, learn to stay calm.

To make this world a better place,
Each of us can play a small part.
Each of us can show a kind face,
And bring love back into our heart.

Seeking the address of happiness (poem)

15 Jul

Seeking the address of happiness

I woke up this morning determined to find happiness,
Would that be hard to do, for I do not know its address?
Just where do I start? Is there someone that I could ask?
I soon realised that I had set myself quite a task!
I need some directions on even where I should begin,
This could become quite a journey, if I am to win.

I know! Let’s start with yesterday, what can I find there?
Surely in amongst it all, its address must be somewhere.
I can find the odd moments when happiness was around,
But its forwarding address is nowhere to be found.
I could see that there were some with whom happiness has stayed,
But unfortunately, plans to stay with me were never made.

Maybe I need to look back further, times from long ago,
Seek out all those moments when happiness put on a show.
Let those memories run through me, let them bring back a smile,
Those times when I found happiness were always so worthwhile.
They certainly provided clues to help me find a way,
So how can I use them to find happiness’s address today?

Looking back at happiness, I can see now where to start,
For I have realised its address lives within my heart.
It’s from within there that the path to happiness is found,
At that address, many bits of happiness float around.
I could meet a friend, take a walk, or read for an hour or two.
Upon this day of happiness: ‘to thine own self be true’

A Calm Summer Day (poem)

24 Jun

A Calm Summer Day

Airplanes are painting clouds across a summer sky,
Creating long white tails behind them as they fly.
Nature sits in stillness without a summer breeze,
A calmness across the Earth, touching all the trees.

Nothing wants to move on this windless summer day,
Even the grasses have forgotten how to sway.
The warmth of the sun spreads to where its light can’t go,
Creeping into the shadows where smaller plants grow.

The flying of the birds brings movement to the scene,
A swaying branch shows where a squirrel has just been.
Bees are collecting nectar in the flower beds,
Leaving behind a trail of bobbing flower heads.

The stillness of the weather, a calm summer day,
Reminds us that the world can let time drift away.
The busyness of nature, birds singing their song,
Reminds us that the world is never still for long.

I have never been normal (poem)

17 Jun

I have never been normal

I have never been normal, there is not much chance of it now,
Yet I’ve managed to find a way of getting through life, somehow.
I have got up every morning ready to play my part,
Generally reaching the end of the day who I was at the start.
Some days will be different, where events will change what I do,
But whatever does happen this day, I still find a way through.

So why am I not normal? What makes me different this day?
I just don’t seem to want to play the game of life the same way.
I don’t have to be faster, or prove to the world I’m the best,
I enjoy doing what I can do, and just forget the rest.
I don’t have to become someone who I don’t like and don’t know,
If I can’t be myself with you, then I will just let it go.

You don’t have to have everything you want for happiness,
Just be yourself and enjoy what you do, can bring peacefulness.
To be able to laugh, to be able to just share a smile,
To spread a little happiness with others makes life worthwhile.
Whoever I am, one thing that my journey through life has shown:
Maybe I am not normal, but in my life peace I have known.

You have known love (poem)

10 Jun

You have known love

You have known love and those memories are still there,
You have felt love, of those feelings you are still aware.
Love may be gone from your life, but not from your heart,
So just shake off those blues and remember the start.
Let the memories of love flow back into you,
Let the thoughts of those sweet days come back into view.

Love never dies, for within your heart it will stay,
And it will return when you recall it this day.
Every ounce from those days is stored within,
So open the door, let the memories begin.
Let the story of love settle in you again,
Let it tell you that within you, love will remain.

A new future can be found (poem)

03 Jun

A new future can be found

Beyond sorrow and sadness there will be hope,
Beyond darkness there will be found a new light.
Beyond confusion, there will be a way to cope,
Beyond the horizon, a new world is in sight.

Beyond this moment, a new future can be found,
Born from the dreams of everything that has been.
Growing from the seeds from the world all around,
Built upon all of the wonders we have seen.

Our tomorrows live within all that we do,
Our yesterdays are there to show us the way.
Within our hearts lives all that we need to get through,
The gift of our love taking us beyond today.

A Moment of Perfection (poem)

27 May

A moment of perfection

I have had a moment of perfection!
Very rarely does that happen to me.
A moment without need of rejection,
Where all is right with all that I can see.

Everything here is now at its best,
A rare moment unlike any other.
I think I had better sit down and rest,
From this moment, I need to recover.

Waiting for the robin to sing (poem)

20 May

Waiting for the robin to sing

Waiting for the robin to sing,
Announcing we have a new day.
With all the promise it can bring,
As the night is fading away.

The robin’s song breaks through the air,
Long before we can see the sun.
It knows that the new dawn is there,
That another day has begun.

Other birds hear his early call,
Their voices join in his dawn song.
The dawn chorus is sung by all,
As the robin sings out so strong.

Slowly the sky lightens the night,
Announcing that dawn’s almost here.
The sun will soon come into sight,
The robin sings out loud and clear.

Dawns herald has been clearly heard,
Another day on earth has begun.
Dawn started by one single bird,
The robin’s song greets the new sun.

Let the sadness pass through you (poem)

12 May

Let the sadness pass through you

Lost within sadness, feeling withdrawn and forlorn,
The warmth is beyond reach upon this sunny dawn.
There is too much sadness reaching into your heart,
The world around you seems to be falling apart.
The world around you has brought this sadness to you,
And within your world there seems to be no way through.

But this sadness you feel will not linger nor last,
Your world will change and this will fade into your past.
You may not be able to feel anything just now,
But that brighter day will come, for your heart knows how.
Your heart knows that as time passes, your heart will heal,
Even thought just for now, that is not how you feel.

Do not dwell on the sadness you have found here,
The world of sunshine will slowly rise and get near.
The world of sadness will slowly fade and withdraw,
You will find that your life will have meaning once more.
Just let this sadness within drift gently on by,
One day it will pass through you, leaving a clear sky.
