To keep learnin¨g and teaching;
To keep elevating and reaching;
Is to never stop, to avoid ceasin¨g,
Allowing Christ in us to be increasing.
What we have seen and heard,
Let us show and tell
And fly like a bird,
Ever thriving to finish well.
God will always be God.
Give Him glory; never avoid.
God will never be coached or led
He is Our Father, Our Head.
I am not ready
For the end ...
Though the road may wind
And it may bend ...
And if it might
Even fork in two,
I will carry on
Just as I do
Steadily stepping
Both here and there,
A trail of footprints
Without a care
And if one day
I walk alone,
Will be no reason
To weep and moan
Though the road may wind
And it may bend ...
I am not ready
For the end ...
vultures swirl… jackals
howl… carrion flesh foul...
buzzards on the prowl
I think of you alot these days
Now that you have gone
And though at times it's difficult
I'll learn to carry on
I miss you and I love you
You were more than just my friend
I'll always hope for someday
Until the very end
Copy cats prowl around
Real worth never found
work hard, move ahead
Keep fit, sloth shed.
Big or small tree matters
Tiny or large shade spreads
Cool breeze calms heads
Not result, effort matters.
Wings help soar high
Touch stars in the sky
Birds fly without a sprint
With resolve firm as flint.
Reach goals acting right
Fruits offer real delight!
Our path may change any time
Even in this written rhyme
Unexpected things come our way
Sometimes, whether to come or stay,
in our comfortable place to be
Still, there is so much else to see
Opportunities ...always there...
Even when it seems no-where
Stand strong on ground, look at the sky
We do not always know why
Changes happen, just be strong
When trying, there is nothing wrong

Is one not of two in itself
A child's revenge even if to be
Who we are inside the darkness
Down deep eating at our every being
Its breath, as if yesterday end
Lost in world of reality truth
A never ending ride of life
Death as if fear itself touch you
One question not their image portrayed
But question of life's time span
Call them crazy, a plead of insanity
The soul of a being of different emotions
Same feels love as it does hate without remorse
How can you know what's happening if you already forgotten
That time itself is already lost
That we indulge hidden in mere image
Can we know who we are if we never search truth?
Animals of the world we tend to be
Or the beauty of the heart you carry
A dying soul we walk journey of life
Death be certain, life is not
A crime to humanity itself we kill out
Talking what the world gives us
It is not that we control our faith
But the existence to which we live we protect
We carry on, as if tomorrow will come
Keep calm and carry on

Keep calm and carry on,
It is the British way;
We stand together, soldier on,
Making our country better...
Keep calm and carry on,
We're there for one another;
Friends, loved ones and neighbours,
Making our community stronger...
Keep calm and carry on,
We set an example for our children;
No matter what the situation,
They have the strength to overcome it...
Keep calm and carry on,
Our island is our refuge,
But we extend our love and peace
To all humans on this earth...

On this highway im just passing through
From the well of life I drew
For strength to carry my load
Seems so long , this road
The ties that bind
Makes one blind
So I find
Burdens I carry
At times , makes my mind scary
Trying to move ahead
Sometimes on thin ice I tread
Why ain't I dead
Lost to the years
In that river of tears
Beyond reach
Life can teach
Used to preach
One day
Lost my way
No longer did I care
Didn't dare
Memories of days gone by
Still can make me cry
Why to Didn't I die
Into the darkness sunk my mind
No life left to find
Got left behind
Lost to the river of pain
It held life in disdain
Life
Is the strife
No reason to go on but I do
Till the last breath has flew
Kiss off dew
Tis sad
Maybe a little bad
For that's the day I'll be again glad
All I have is my pen
Till then
Can't find
Peace of mind
Don't care
Don't dare
No, not fare
Tomorrow
Still sorrow
But I'll still be here walking foward
Ever towards
What I don't know
Tomorrow won't show
So I go blind
Hopefully someday to find
Something left behind
Although the days seem dark
There's still light there within
You may not see it shinning now
While your feeling pretty dim
But believe that people see you
shinning just like a star
So instead of drifting off
Please stay here where you are..
If people only knew
The pain you were going through
I'm sure everyone would hug you
To remove your feeling blue
If only you could see yourself
The way others do
Perhaps it would be enough
To cure that feeling blue
Your special in many eyes
And loved so very true
So if today's a tough day
Read this to pull you through
Life can be a battle
I'm battling here now too
But let's fight back together
If I can you can too
Life is worth the living
It's precious through and through
If you can not see it now
Believe what I say is true
Tomorrow can be so different
If you hold on you will see
Tomorrow is a blessing
For both you and me

i’ll pretend i don’t care
i don’t know how i’ll manage
but somehow i will
i always do
i’ll somehow be on my way
and put all this behind
the betrayal
the disappointment
it’s not what you did
it’s what you didn’t do
the deafening silence in the night
the tsunami rolling in
damage untold until
the tides finally recede

I could write you a sonnet with lyrics that purr,
The sweetest of verses, as ever such were,
That feature your virtues and dwell on your charm
With harvests of words from the poetry farm.
But I’d run out of paper, I’d run out of ink
Portraying the way you behave when you drink,
Because it frightens me,
The way you carry on.
It frightens me...
The way you rant and snap and curse.
Your scotch-induced tirades and worse.
Your claw and fang, your angry fist,
The way you grasp the truth and twist.
Your lame denial, shameless rage,
Provides me cause to disengage.
I’m standing up and walking out
Regardless how you scream and shout,
Because it frightens me,
The way you carry on.
The way you carry on
Goes on and on and on.
It frightens me,
The way you carry on.
I love nonsense too,
Erogenous zones to do,
Maybe that's enough for you,
Carry on is what to do,
I do love nonsense too!
That giggle that wiggle and a saucy laugh to boot,
Star of film, theatre and tv,
A naughty bubbly blond in a small package,
Some called her brassy she was just full of fun,
A part in a St Trinians film a school girl was her role,
She acted with some famous names in other films,
Butt carrying on was her game,
One famous scene never to be forgotten was in carry on camping and that top,
She knew some well known people even some on the wrong side of the law, it never changed her,
There where a few lean years parts here and there,
Then came along Eastenders and her catch phrase,
"Get out of my pub",
A hit a star she was queen of the vic,
She was a hit even with the queen in 2016 when she became a dame,
A woman like barbara always ready for a laugh,
Alzheimer's took that away from her when she forgot family and friends,
Peacefully she passed aged 82,
The gang's back together up there carrying on.
My good friend Maureen every dawn
Suggests we “Keep Calm and Carry On”
Excellent and easy
Dear Miss McCreavy
Great words to live by so wise to carry on
(For Dear Maureen)
