A Friend when you are in Need (poem)

18 Apr

A Friend when you are in Need

I have been your friend, solid and true,
In times of trouble, been there for you,
Making memories from all of those good and bad days.
Our friendship has always remained strong,
There for us, as our lives moved along,
Even when time has taken us in different ways.

If life today is making you sad,
Remember all those good times we had.
Let our friendship from back then, return to bring a smile.
Let our laughter be found once again,
So that this sadness cannot remain.
Let it show you that your life today is still worthwhile.

If you have problems getting along,
And you find that you don’t feel so strong,
Remember that these problems of today, will not last.
Those tough days we once knew, are no more,
This too will pass, as they have before,
It will fade away, as those bad times have in the past.

Friendship is gentle, patient and kind,
Bringing hope when it is hard to find,
Ready to give help in those times when you are in need.
I’m always there if times become tough,
Ready to help you get through the rough,
For a friend when you are in need, is a friend indeed.

Let kindness and love reappear once more (poem)

04 Apr

Let kindness and love reappear once more

Let kindness and love reappear once more,
Within your heart you have plenty in store.
You may have forgotten that love can win,
So take some kindness, and let love begin.
Whatever the problems, they cannot last,
One day they will become part of your past.

The pain may be great, and so hard to bear,
But within your heart, you have love to share.
Love defeats fear, kindness cures the pain,
Between them, no hate can ever remain.
Between them, a new future can be grown,
Healing begins wherever they are shown.

Reach out to others, touch them with your heart,
Upon that road of peace, your love can start.
Your love can reach out to all those in need,
Your kindness can help you to plant hopes seed.
Between them, a new tomorrow is found,
When kindness and love gets spread around.

The Nature of Twlight (poem)

22 Mar

The Nature of Twlight

When it’s neither day nor night, but somewhere in between.
When the distant horizon cannot be clearly seen.
When evenings are not quite dark, and mornings not quite light.
The natural world dwells in the time of twilight.

In the dawn, the birds drown the night away with their song.
In the evening, the birds know in their nests they belong.
In the twilight, their singing cascades across the land.
A sign that changes within nature are now at hand.

In dawn’s twilight, bats fly back into their roosts up high.
In evening’s twilight they stretch their wings, ready to fly.
At sunset the bats all depart, soaring through the air.
Twisting and turning, catching the insects flying there.

Owls and hedgehogs wake up at the setting of the sun.
Just as the honeybees know their buzzing times are done.
Twilight, a time when the natural world gets rearranged.
A time when the creatures of day and night are exchanged.

Doggy and other Doggy (lighthearted poem)

20 Feb

Doggy and other Doggy
Written about the dogs in the photo

My sister has two doggies that are hard to tell apart.
It’s a problem I’ve carried right from the very start.
So my names for them I have redefined just for me,
The first one I encounter I give the name of ‘doggy’.
The second gets called ‘other doggy’, when it walks on by,
This means I don’t forget their names, nor even have to try.

Which dog gets which name depends upon which one I meet first,
Of course, the next time I meet them, their names might get reversed.
They will still come over to me, for a fuss or a treat,
Waiting whilst I sit down, before joining me on the seat!
Whichever name I call the dog, it answers just the same,
They don’t mind in the slightest if I don’t use their real name.
