I Make Mistakes (poem)

I Make Mistakes

I make mistakes, but then so do we all,
There will be times when we stumble and fall.
There will be times when we say the wrong thing,
And face the anger that those words may bring.
But there will be times when we get it right,
Bring to their faces a look of delight.
Which one today will bring, we may not know,
All we can do is just give it a go.
All we can do in life is try our best,
And when it is done, sit down for a rest.

Mistakes can be teachers, showing us more,
A better understanding than before.
The lessons we learn can help make us strong.
Remembering them, before we go wrong.
Learn to hold back when things go the wrong way,
Or to step forward, if it helps today.
If a mistake is too big to repair,
Then pick up the wisdom found left in there.
Whatever we learn can help tomorrow,
There will be a way to heal the sorrow.

Enjoy every Moment (poem)

23 Aug

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.

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.

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…

If happiness stood before me (poem)

19 Jan

If happiness stood before me

If happiness stood before me, all sparkling and bright.
If sadness faded behind me, disappearing from sight.
If this moment that I stood in, would let me drop my load,
I would pick up happiness and take it upon life’s road.

But what does happiness look like? How would I ever know?
What shape and size does it take, when it comes out on show?
Would the happiness that I see, look just the same to you?
Or does your happiness arrive with a different view?

I need not ask those questions, for my life has shown to me,
That happiness takes many forms, all different to see.
That happiness can race in, taking you off for a ride,
Or drift into your day, staying contently by your side.

If happiness stands before you, then greet it with a smile.
Welcome its company, let it make your life feel worthwhile.
When it starts to fade, don’t be afraid to let it depart.
For very soon, a new path to happiness will start.

Happiness is a way of thinking that you find within,
If you learn to master it, then your happiness will win.
Let those memories of happiness light up your life today,
Then through those darkest of times, happiness will find a way.

Hope, Kindness and Love united (poem)

01 Dec

Hope, Kindness and Love united

There is always a way through the thick and the thin.
There is always a path where tomorrow can win.
No matter how much around us is torn apart;
Within each of us, a new tomorrow can start.
Within each of us, we have all that we can need.
We have hope, kindness, and love, with which to succeed.
Deep within ourselves, everyone of these live,
And bringing them all together, lets us forgive.

With hope, comes a torch to show us all that can be,
Bringing light back into our lives, letting us see.
With kindness, you can help others stand up once more;
Help their wounds to heal, to become strong like before.
With love, comes the gift of sharing all in your heart,
Giving to others your love, never more apart.
Hope, kindness and love, each have their own part to play.
Uniting them all, will let the world find its way.

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.

Sweep away all the bad bits (poem)

26 Nov

Sweep away all the bad bits

Sweep away all the bad bits, clear them out of your mind,
Opening up some clear space for the good bits to find.
It may be an effort, there may be a lot to do,
But it will be worth it, once you have seen the task through.
Open the windows, let the staleness out of the place,
Feel the breeze of new hope drift in, let it touch your face.
Let the light of possibilities return once more,
Then turn towards tomorrow and open up its door.

Sweet memories that are yet to be (poem)

05 Nov

Sweet memories that are yet to be

Sweet memories that are yet to be,
A better future that I can see.
A promising start for tomorrow,
A life that will lessen my sorrow.
It’s not quite here, but it’s not too far,
Its light is there, like a shining star.
Soon it will be a part of my life,
Ready to sweep away any strife.

Sitting in this moment, inbetween,
I can reflect on all that I’ve seen.
Not everything was bad, that I know,
But some things, I will gladly let go.
Some things are worth keeping, tucked away,
As memories for another day.
The rest I will leave here in a stack,
For I may occasionally look back.

I can see the time’s arrived at last,
Time for me to let go of the past.
That those sweet memories will now start,
As I stand up from here and depart.
I have no idea what I will find,
As I now let the future unwind.
As I start walking towards the new,
Already there is a better view.

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.
