Enjoy every Moment (poem)

Enjoy every Moment

Enjoy every moment,
For it’s in the now, we live.
Work for peace and atonement,
Your heart has love it can give.
Let kindness guide what you do,
Let others know that you care.
Help the world find a way through,
Let others know you are there.

Every moment is real,
Within it you are alive.
Reach out and let yourself feel,
In this world, let your heart thrive.
Look around at who you are,
Let your smile brighten this day.
With your hope you can go far,
Let your heart show you the way.

Life’s new dawn (poem)

27 Jul

Life’s new dawn

A new dawn has arrived,
On this path you survived,
Through every trail you have found a way.
You can sit back and rest,
You passed every test,
Just watch the sunrise upon this new day.

Your backpack you can drop,
Your walking you can stop,
Put your feet up, for you can rest at last.
Forget about life’s woes,
Just wiggle all your toes,
Let all the tension fade into your past.

Your load you can unpack,
Ease the stress from your back,
Archive all those bits that matter to you.
Toss out what’s left in there,
Seek out a comfy chair,
Then just relax and enjoy life’s new view.

Push on, Push on (poem)

08 Jun

Push on, Push on

Push on, push on, through life’s heavy rains and strong gales,
Through those times when life feels like a ship without sails.
When the thunder roars and the waves crash all around,
When no safe harbour in your rough life can be found.
Just cling onto the rudder, hold it firm and straight,
For beyond these storms of life, new tomorrows wait.

Push on, push on, walk over the hills and through dales,
Where you wander lost in a land with no clear trails.
When there is nothing for you to follow this day,
Where no signs can be found that will show you the way.
Just hold onto life’s wisdom, let it be your guide,
It’s life’s path you walk, from which tomorrow can’t hide.

Push on, push on, even when the light you hold fails,
When the world’s colours fade, and your life’s brightness pales.
Walk forward through the darkness, take each step with care,
Testing where your foot lands, trusting what it finds there.
For a dark night will bring out the stars above you,
As the long night ends, tomorrow comes into view.

To be a Serious or Lighthearted person? (poem)

26 May

To be a Serious or Lighthearted person?

Must I become either serious or lighthearted?
Is it defined in me from the day my life started?
Can I decide which one as I travel on my way?
Or must I choose one, and throw the other one away?
Must I let the world tell me which of these I should be?
Accept that only one of those two can represent me?

Such difficult questions! Perhaps a little too deep.
If I only knew how, then both of them I would keep.
So am I looking at this from the wrong direction?
Maybe I do not need all of this deep reflection.
Life was never meant to be a choice of black and white,
But is full of colour, mixed in shades from dark to light.

I can just look at each moment as it comes along,
Judge whether to laugh, or to be serious and strong.
Allow myself to switch between them during my life,
Let a touch of humour help guide me through times of strife.
Which one to choose this day can depend on what I find,
And if I’m still not sure which, then I will just be kind.

Taking that first step (poem)

16 Mar

Taking that first step

I must take that first step, if I am to take the last.
I must face the future, if I am to leave the past.
Nothing will ever change if I just stay standing still,
I must take a step, if my dreams I am to fulfil.
In my life, so many first steps I have had to take,
Some have come easily, others have been hard to make.
When one path comes to an end, another will begin.
Only by taking that first step will I ever win.

I must take that first step, if I am to find a way.
I must face tomorrow, if I am to leave today.
That first step taken, will start guiding me to the new,
I may not know where, but it will bring a change of view.
In my life I have learnt that everything changes,
Yesterday’s certainties, tomorrow rearranges.
So when my life presents a new path to get to know,
I set one foot down in front of me, then off I go.

By taking that first step, I will walk toward the last.
By facing the future, I will leave behind the past…

Allow yourself to begin anew (poem)

31 Dec

Allow yourself to begin anew

Allow yourself to begin anew,
Shake off that outdated point of view,
And pluck out those bits that brought to you, only sorrow.

Sweep away those old ideas, like dust,
Clean those dreams that have started to rust.
Open up some space to welcome a new tomorrow.

Let yourself go at a slower pace,
Remembering life is not a race,
That tomorrow will find its own way to where you are.

Pause now and then, reflect for a while,
Remembering what once made you smile,
Find a place where with your memories, you can see far.

What tomorrow brings, you may not know,
But with yesterday, just let it go,
Watch it walk away with the weight of yesterday’s load.

Allow yourself to begin anew,
Prepare yourself for a new life view,
With a light heart, start walking along tomorrow’s road.

Tattered sails upon the mast (poem)

29 Sep

Tattered sails upon the mast

The tattered sails upon the mast,
Too many storms they have sailed through.
They tell of a turbulent past,
Of the journeys towards the new.
Tossed and turned on the ocean,
This ship has travelled far and wide.
Always the ship is in motion,
On seas with no safe place to hide.

Yet there are harbours to be found,
A safe haven to recover.
But soon the ship is outward bound,
To see what it can discover.
Those tattered sails all still flutter,
Maybe they won’t win any races.
But through life what does it matter,
If they get you to new places.

Am I going backwards or forwards?(poem)

21 Jul

Am I going backwards or forwards?

Am I going backwards or forwards? I do not know.
Would looking upwards or downwards show a way to go?
Some ways look clearer, while others are fading from view.
Should we look back at the old? Or consider the new?

So many times through life it has not been too easy,
When I find a place of calm, it starts to get breezy.
When I find a time of peace, hoping that it will last,
The rhythm of life starts beating its drum and strolls past.

From all of this, I am coming to the conclusion,
That a place of harmony is just an illusion.
That a life in pursuit of perfection is unreal,
So just what should my emotions start trying to feel?

Only this moment is real and all that it contains,
When it comes to the past, just its history remains.
When it comes to the future, it always begins here,
And only towards the future can we ever steer.

Just stand in this moment, for it’s here that we belong,
From this moment in life, our future starts strolling along.
With all of life’s confusions, tip them out of your mind,
With all the anger of the past, just leave it behind.

You are who you are! All that you need is found within,
Inside your own heart is where your future can begin.
Within yourself, kindness and love can be found today,
When your life gets too confusing, let them guide your way.

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.

There is always tomorrow (poem)

26 May

There is always tomorrow

There is always tomorrow, for time never stands still,
If today cannot find a way, then tomorrow will.
If today’s going nowhere and your past cannot guide,
Tomorrow brings a light from which today cannot hide.
It may seem very dim and almost out of your sight,
Just hold onto hope, for tomorrow carries its light.
Just look to the future, it begins every day,
Within every tomorrow there will be a way.
Let tomorrow’s hope guide you, when life’s going nowhere,
Just look into your heart, tomorrows light shines in there.
