A Mothers Betrayal

Was I planned when you conceived?
Its something I would like to believe
But the truth is so blatantly clear
You didn,t  really want me here

A burden to you from the day I was born
A mother and child bond was never formed
My father God bless his heart
Became mother and father from the start

It was not long before you upped and left
Running away from your responsabiltys is what you did best
To live a carefree life with no ties
Drinking and partying until sunrise

Five times,five children,five lives you destroyed
But in your mind we were all void
Why does God allow people like you to conceive
When so many childless couples would love to achieve

Having five children all healthy and well
But not you everyone around you could tell
A moment of fun is all you wanted to feel
Having children was not part of the deal

A mother is a name that should be earned
But this will never be the case where you are concerned
You didn,t really want any of us
All you were interested in was lust

Blind Date

I am running late
I don,t know if he will wait
Do I really care if he goes?
Its a blind date after all you know

Why do I always allow my friends?
To talk me into doing these things when
I am quite happy plodding along on my own
I don,t care if I am home alone

We are meeting by the big old clock
I wonder if he will like my frock
He said he will be wearing a red rose
I hope he,s not the sort of chap who likes to pose

Oh shall I just turn back and go home
But he will probably just keep ring my phone
Come on pull yourself together now dear
Its only dinner and drinks you made that clear

I know but what if we don,t like each other
We will have to be polite make small talk oh brother
I think I will  just turn back
I think I will just hit the sack

I think I will just say I forgot
After all us girls do that a lot
No i can,t I am nearly there
Stay tuned I will let you know how i fare

I Close the Door

I closed the door

So small so young when it all began
A child so sad with her mother gone
So I closed the door

 Through school children and teachers could be so cruel.
Constantly made to look and feel like a fool
Bullied with words, left out of the team
Made to feel different that’s how it seemed
So I closed the door

Early teens were but a changing time
Not really a child or adult in mind
Somewhere between I found myself thinking
Somewhere between I thought I was sinking
So I closed the door

Young woman, great job, good friend’s great man by my side
Who could want more for the first time in my life I felt so alive
Great partys,great home,great money what more  could I wish for
If only I knew what was around the corner what was in store
So I closed the door

A wife a mother a future ahead
Before I new what was happening it had all gone dead
So I closed the door

Many years went by as if in a dream
Some good some bad that’s how it seemed
Years go by and you start to loose family and friends
Not sure when its your time when your life will end
So I closed the door

Getting old now I look back at my life and think
Life can be good and it can also stink
But I also believe it has a lot to do with the start you were given
It’s not always your thought and you can be forgiven
If by chance I could return in a new body and new time
Life would be so different I am sure of this in my mind
So yet again I close the door

Friend Or Enemy?

We have known each other for so many years 
But today it became so crystal clear

For years we were so very close 
I thought of you much more than most

I thought for years you meant the best for me 
But it is so clear now that was not to be

You loved it when things for me went wrong 
All the time telling me to be strong

When in fact you were in enjoying every minute 
Every failure i had you loved it

When things were good i was happy doing well 
You would do everything in your power to spoil it until it fell

Apart and you would have that smirked grin 
As if to yourself you knew you would win

To see me fail at what i did 
Brought so much pleasure to you as if you were a kid

Now that is about to change for i see you for what you are 
A person ill never trust and keep very far

Away from me in everything i think and do 
You will never again be able to treat me like a fool

You never really were a friend 
Just someone who would only be there when

You would find pleasure from my unhappiness 
But i know now i am truly blessed

you are a sad pathetic jealous soul 
who never again will i ever show

The love and kindness i have inside 
For a friend you are not and i say this with pride

For now i see your such wicked ways 
And know that i have been truly saved

Leave Me Alone

Leave me alone 
Please don,t phone
Boy I am so bloody sick
Of listening to you bunch of hypocrites

Just becouse things don,t go your way
Just becouse you can,t get what you want today
You people make me so bloody sick
I think the lot of you are bloody thick

Just leave me alone
Please don,t phone
Can,t you think of someone else?
Can,t you think of something unless

It has to revolve around you
And all the stupid things you do
Ive got my life to think about
Ive got my problems thats no doubt

But all the time its you you you
Beleave me when I say this is true
Please leave me alone
Please don,t phone

All you do is sit around all day
Talking about people and what do you say?
Nothing that makes any sence
But i will say this in thier defence

They have a life not like you
What is it if anything do you do?
Just leave me alone
Please don,t phone

You sit down on your arse all day
With never anything good to say
Then its (why can,t i get a man)
I will tell you why you can,t get a man

Your ugly,fat,desperate and mad
tell me what man wouldn,t think your sad
Please just leave me alone 
Please don,t phone

Then its (im so very sick)
Well this just gets on my bloody wick
Most of what is wrong with you
Ive heard it all before its nothing new

Pease just leave me alone
Please just never phone

Oak Tree

Out in my garden stands an old oak tree
It has far more memories than me
Stood so tall gazing down
It can see for miles around

So many years we have spent together
In all kinds of different weather
Barbicues,partys swimming pools you have seen the lot
Some of the things we have had in the garden I have forgot

But your always there looking down on me
Your such a lovely old oak tree
Spring,Summer,Winter Fall
Me and you we have seen them all

One day I will leave this land
But for many more years you will stand
And gather so many more memories
That,s the nice thing about you old oak trees

Fathers Love

The pain will never go away
When the angels came and took you that day
They may as well have taken me too
For I felt my life was also through

The most important person in my life taken away
Why were you taken so suddenly on that day
There are so many things I wanted to say
But now that chance is taken away

Dad why couldn,t you stay
just,just for one more day
So I could have told you how much I loved and respected you so
Its something I should have told you I wanted you to know

You were the one I always looked up to
The one who was always there to get me through
All the ups and downs of life
All the troubles and strife

My father,my mentor,my friend I lost them all
Who have I got now?who do I call?
I need you so much I wish you were near
Life ahead without you fills me with fear

But I know that I must carry on
And I will always remember you by a particular  song
That I often play when I am feeling low
I wish I had been able to tell you how much I loved you so

Regret

There are so many things in my life I regret
So many things I wish I could just forget

You hope what you did will stay in your past
But somehow that time never seems to last

When you least expect it,so suddenly one day
It comes back like you are watching a film on replay

You start to worry and watch your back
Always feeling like you are under attack

From something you did so very long ago
From something you thought you would outgrow

Be very careful in life what you do
For what i am about to say is true

You think your skeleton will always stayed locked away
But they always seem to come back and bite you one day

What Has the World Come To

Why do some people have to lie?

Why not just be yourself and not try

To be something and someone you are not

To try and impress ,please tell me for what?

Why cant people just tell the truth?

why pretend and be someone your not whats the use?

The world gets worse with each passing day

I dread to think what is coming next our way

No Kindness,no care no thought for others

so consumed with greed and wealth

No one seems to care for others welfare and health

The future just seem to look so very bleak

just trying to get through life from week to week

Truth, human kindness ,care takes so little to do.

One day it might be you

Time

Take a minute and sit right down 
And take a good look all around

We start our lives as babe,s in hand 
Our parents have all kinds of plans

Needing help with everything we do 
Before you know it we are going to school

Those years fly past before you know 
Your no longer a child your fully grown

To start a life with a career 
Making plans for coming years

Some of us will marry have children and then 
It all starts to go round again

Your children grow up and fly the nest 
Now its your time to take a rest

Again the years go flying by 
Your getting old but still you try

To keep going until you can no more 
Do things you want and wonder whats in store

For our hearts are like a big old clock 
Ticking until one day it stops

Live everyday like its your last 
For life goes past so very fast
