Her Journey Has Just Begun.

Her Journey Has Just Begun. 

Don't think of her as gone away,
her journey has just begun,
her heart held too much sadness,
for her to happily go on.

Think of her as resting, 
away from her sorrows and fears.
In a place she'll find warmth and comfort,
a place with no time, dates or years.

Think how she must be wishing,
that we could know today,
how nothing but our sadness,
will ever fade away.

Think of her as living,
in the hearts of those she touched,
for nothing loved is ever lost
and she was loved so much.

My Best Friend, My Hero

My best friend,
is one of a kind,
she's one in a million,
a rare gem to find.

Despite all she's been through,
and she's had her fair share,
she's dealt with and accepted,
with no remorse or despair.

She's faced most of lifes problems,
loss, sadness and neglect,
yet continues to remain happy,
she's the toughest chick i've met.

She's raised three beautiful daughters,
and married the man of her dreams,
and is now pouncing up that career ladder,
she's near the top it seems.

If I could present a trophy,
for Britains number one chick,
my award would go out to my best friend,
there's no doubt about it!

Thanks for always being there,
when i've been sad and down, 
to me you are my hero,
the bestest friend around.

No To Drugs!

No Drugs For Me


I saw this boy walking down the street,

with the coolest trainers on his feet,

he said "hey geezer in the baseball cap,

sort me out a tenner rap!"

"Listen up and you'll be fine, 

there's this new stuff in that'll blow your mind,

it'll make you feel you're in ecstasy,

you must of heard it, they call it an 'E'?

It does loads of cushty things to you,

makes you have hallucinations too,

but then you'll spin out 'n' fall on your head,

next thing you know, you're in hospital DEAD!"

"No way man, no more drugs for me,

there's a lot more to life than L.S.D,

forget about that tenner rap,

I'm staying away from all that crap!"

 
Written for my English homework (saying no to drugs). Aged 13 years

Paying My Dues, .

To be locked away in prison, was such a scarey thought,
I've now been punished and accepted, it was all my own fault!
I had spent the last year, in a shadow of my past,
in denial of my loss, in hope our love would always last.
I abused my body intoxicating, it helped me to remain numb,
it's all I could do to keep going and still be around for my son. 
But one thing I have realised, a lesson I have learnt,
is that all my troubles and worries, can be dealt with and now burnt.
Living in that shadow, passing one day to the next,
only blocked the pain and longing, It would never bring back my ex,
It could never bring him back, or change what went wrong,
detoxing my body helped me, to finally accept he had gone,
Gone only to another place, but still always in my heart,
I can look at our son and see Dan, we will never be apart. 
My time in prison opened my eyes and really made me see,
from the stories of other inmates, there's a lot worse off than me,
Being raped and abused as children, when they were in their prime,
led them to turn to heroin, prostitution then murder the biggest crime!
But deep down we are all no different, we just couldn't deal with pain,
Its sad to hear the abusers, rarely got the blame. 

I have now rediscovered and found the real and normal me,
prison has given me the perspective of how life should really be. 

I am now a better person, time away has made me see,
the most important people in our lives are close friends and family. 

I will no longer take life for granted and face what's thrown at me,
in the ways that I have learnt, when I am released and finally free. 

I will cherish every moment and appreciate those there for me,
prison has made me realise, just how loved I can be.



I wrote this poem on behalf of my little sister, she has encountered yet battled through, 
so much heartache and grief in the last few months.

Longing For Happiness

A little happiness my way, is that asking so much?
It just seems to be the one thing that I cannot grasp.

I'm not asking for much, I just feel it's my turn,
to wake up with a smile, that's all that I yearn.

I'm not a bad person, perhaps wrong in the past,
but i've paid my dues and been punished, 
so how long does this have to last?

How I long to be happy and feel life's worth the live,
there's only one person I now live for, I live my life for his.

I keep getting knocked down, but jump straight back up,
I appreciate everyone has a share of bad luck.

But now this is beginning to make me feel weak,
I just long to find happiness, that's all that I seek!

So if anyone can hear me, please consider my request,
even the tiniest piece of happiness, would be the absolute best!

The Day We Have To Part

The Day We Part
 
We'll always be together, we'd often say,

the day we have to part will be a very tearful day.

The love that your family have given me,

has been far too much than it need ought to be.

 
I really appreciate the things that you do,

but if you wasn't so nice, it just would't be you.

If there's anything you ever need, just give me a shout,

and me and you together, I'm sure will sort it out.

  
I have wrote you this poem, as i'd like for you to know,

whatever may come between us, our friendship can only grow.

I hope a friendship as special as ours, can forever glee,

because I think the world of you, as i'm sure you can now see.

Our Special Gift

You were always with me by my side,
but the love of my life, then sadly died.
The day you was taken, my world fell apart,
now all that I'm left with, is a sad and lonely heart.
The time we shared was too short and sweet,
still the gift you have left me, helps me feel complete.
While I still have Jack, I still have you,
I see you in his eyes, through and through.
Jack was our gift that only we can share,
no other gift will ever compare,
I look in his eyes every hour of every day,
with him I feel happy, as I know he's here to stay.

Unhappy

How have I become this person, this person I now hate so much?
The person who once had many good qualities, now all I have is disgust!
It's not as if i'm hard done by, infact life's handed to me on a plate,
still I wallow about in self pity, confusion and debate.
When I think about what I have, I shouldn't need to want for more,
great family and friends I can rely on and that i'm 100% sure.
A man who loves me dearly, he devotes his life to me,
a charming and loving son, all a mother could want her child to be.
Then I think of those in poverty with not even a crumb to spare,
no one to love and protect them, no one there to even care.
I then begin to despise myself, how ungrateful must I be?
I have so much a lot would yearn for, yet I still feel so unhappy!

Most of the things I am down about, I have actually brought on myself,
so it's time I understood this and appreciate the life I've been dealt.
I've been toying with so many emotions treating life like it's a game,
yet I still continue to do things, that put me to so much shame.
So how can I expect to be respected? When I don't even respect myself?
My hope is to now read back through this and the answers should speak for themselves.

Time To Accept

Time to Accept

It's took a while for me to admit,
my feelings I have for you, 
but now I risk losing everything,
there's only one thing left I can do.
Although it hurts so much,
the thought of letting you go,
you don't feel the same about me,
I just wish I didn't know.
As I hate to be without you,
but feel for you so much,
I've got to accept the truth,
to keep you within my touch.
So it's time that I accept it,
it's never going to be,
just try and be realistic,
and let go of my fantasy.
This way I can keep you as a friend,
and still be a part of your life,
without losing you completely,
You're still be within my sight.

I Will

I Will
 
I will eat my food slowly,

breathe soft through my nose,

I will go to bed early

and be quick on my toes.

 
I will learn to be gentle,

I will be very kind,

I will attend school punctually,

with a clear and tidy mind.

 
I will help look after Earth 

and be one of those who cares,

I will help the poor and needy

and stick to all my prayers.

 
I will settle down to work

and hold up my head

and be an early riser,

who never stays in bed.


I will never be lazy

and laze about in my chair,

I will not be at all rude,

or act at all rare.

 
I will always love my family

and others around me

and hope they understand,

the way that I see.
