To my babies, (Ages 15 & 18!!! how…when…why???) I miss you. I miss you fitting on my lap, your sweetest brightest smile when you would wake up from your nap, Your looking at me with such uninhibited love, It felt like my personal spotlight.

Bundles of memories
Bundles of paper bound by glue They remind me of me, they remind me of you They remind me of what we used to be In what's now another lifetime, they're history Long forgotten in a corner gathering the dust of time While we moved on to create new moments, neither yours not mine Life… Continue reading Bundles of memories
The Mark of a Performer
To perform and carry on Whether appreciated or not To smile through tears And win peoples' cheers To act when you're down But manage not to frown To lose, to gain But to never feel the strain To laugh when you're laughed at And your feelings never to show To hide your emotions well And… Continue reading The Mark of a Performer

Freedom
Children splashing about in the rain Raindrops on window panes A solitary bird soaring high A kite floating across the sky Leaves drifting in the breeze A hundred wild flowers in an open field The shooting fires of a volcano The seven colours of a rainbow Twinkling stars in a calm, quiet night A dark… Continue reading Freedom
Take me home
Where the mountain meets the sky Where the river beneath flows Where the orange sky stays still Is the home of my soul There the silence speaks to me Telling me you're a fool This is where you belong Where life calls out to you The twinkling stars maybe the same The sun may see… Continue reading Take me home
