Ann Anderson Poem
I feel so happy
I cannot explain,
for yesterday I bathed
in my own tears of pain.
Was no reason
my life is ok
but anxiety gripped
and took me away.
Took me to depths
not known
felt trapped
and so, so, alone.
That cloud was a demon
an unexpected guise,
he blinded my thoughts,
he blinded my eyes.
Thank the lord
for again I am free,
I took a look in the mirror,
and guess what? it's me.

Ann Anderson Poem
I feel left bare
naked of charm
the mystery of me
when in fullest delight
as left a shiver
so quick as the fall of the night.
My fruits that fed,
shelter to the storm,
the hidden lovers, undiscovered,
and their laughter upon my throne.
What of me now?
as winter as called,
no lovers delight,
to rest at my feet,
for I am the willow,
taste my tears
as I weep.

Ann Anderson Poem
Please dad,
please don't cry,
it's selfish for me to say,
cause dad you gave me breath,
the breath I breath today.
A strong man,
always the family fed,
dad you gave us so much more
than our want and our
daily bread.
Dad you cry, I know,
for youth you know demised
but dad to me, you'll always be
the geordie who worked the tyne.
The geordie boy
who held respect
for his decent ways
and the men he led.
Please dad,
please don't cry,
your still the man
that led his men
and I can't bear to watch you die.

Ann Anderson Poem
Remember when we were children?
oh how we loved to fight,
I always thought that you were wrong
and of course that I was right.
I'm sorry I wore your new clothes
but I strutted out with pride,
I still feel your anger
but more your tear filled eyes.
We laugh about it now,
we laugh without a care
but I need to thank the good Lord
that sister,you are there.
Happy birthday my dear Sandra,
may all your dreams come true,
I am the luckiest sister in this world
to have found a friend in you.

If the seasons were the same
would the birds migrate
to your shores?

Ann Anderson Poem
I've got a head full of memories
and a heart that some called gold,
I've laid beside the beautiful,
been sheltered when I'm cold,
I've danced beside the devil,
another story don't you know!!
but there ain't no remedy, no drug,
for the pain of growing old.
I still got my levis they date back
to sixty two, they hang there in the closet,
alone and feeling blue,
I just popped up to tell them how good
they made me feel
but they just turned back and told me
they're my scar that just won't heal.
So a word of wisdom, each day
just reach for the moon,
cause I gotta say it,
it's over much to soon,
enjoy all it's pleasures,
enjoy!! it please won't you,
and there's a pair of old originals,
you never know they might fit you.

Ann Anderson Poem
Your photo sits still
in first blushes of youth,
this green and pleasant land
resplendent, wanting your footprints
upon it's sands but king and country
laid down all plans of a youthful man.
How will it be when we meet
further from the stars, all I have been
blessed to see but no commitment,
just a breeze, will you still be wanting me?
My days upon this unyielding land
I know, like my heart beat, beginning
to slow but every last breath, I inhale you stronger,
you were my beau, you died a soldier.
