Amy Smith-Galer Poem
Love is like a blinding light
At First your looking
With all your might
To find the one
You’ll love forever
To find the one
To build a life together
Like a raging volcano
Ash swirling in the winds
Simmering and patient
The eruption begins
Love can be
Fiery
Passionate
And true
Love can be
Supportive
Understanding
Through and through
Giving all of me
To all of you
A lending ear
When times feel blue
A loving hug
A gentle whisper
A honest opinion
A harmless bicker
Through all the good and bad
Through all the up and downs
Through all the love and laughter
And the acting like clowns
That light you was once looking for
Is stronger than can be
That light is beaming a warm soft glow
Like a sunrise over the sea
For this is what true love is
A warm and beautiful glow
A love that feels so endless
And makes your soul feel whole
It was that one moment
In which my heart was stole
Walking together
A lifelong stroll.

Amy Smith-Galer Poem
For you were such a gentleman
your smile sincere and true
For your hair was always in it's place
your funniness shone through
For the love you had of sport's
anything would do
football, tennis and many more
will always remind me of you
Your love of a great war film
Your love of a 25p bet
chatting to the pound shop girl's
A man impossible to forget
From your charming personality
to the way you wound up Nan
a little nudge
a little poke
the laughter it began
Your love of laying in the sun
Your balcony or in Spain
wasn't guaranteed the weather
it always seemed to rain
Yet your tan always so immaculate
A lovely golden brown
that's what happens when you move your sunbed
to follow the sun around
Your love of having a bit of cheese
or should I say a block
cracker's and cheese for everyone
say around 8 o'clock
Enjoyed cleaning a oven
and drinking a nice cup of tea
got lumbered entertaining kids
enjoyed a stroll down Leigh on sea
Your shirts always tucked in
and looking extra smart
Smelling of aftershave
You always looked the part
A handsome man
with a personality to desire
happy and bubbly
could dry your hair with his hands
faster than a hair dryer
It's all the little thing's
that made you
you
that we miss and love
but make us feel blue
Forever we remember
we will never forget
we were blessed to encounter
The best man yet!

Amy Smith-Galer Poem
Her selflessness inspiring
Her heart so pure and true
Her presence keeps you smiling
Her unconditional love shines through
Her desire in putting others first
Her time with treasured friends
With her positive nature
Your broken heart she mends
Her smell of Dolce Vita
Her eyes so bright and blue
Her love of crime scene series
The Greek islands is where she flew
Her impartial opinions
Her love for the biscuit tin
Her laid back approach to life
Her beautiful radiant grin
Her bubbly personality
Her questionable singing
Her sanity in working
Her strength in our upbringing
Her supportiveness through the bad times
Her independence to the core
Her patience is astonishing
A woman I adore
Her devotion to her family
Her sweet kind natured aura
Her fondness of a daffodil
Her bracelet full of Pandora
She turned my fears to happiness
Guided me through life
always lent her shoulder
cried when I became a wife
For she
She has no manual
She wings it from the start
She gives you everything she has
even when she's falling apart
For her this poem I penned
Though she is my mother
and I her daughter
She is truly my best friend...

Amy Smith-Galer Poem
I feel like I am drowning
Cant pull myself ashore
Floating further away
From the me
I Know no more
Sinking in my thoughts
crippling in self doubt
Please try not to listen
Let the negative thoughts be out
I feel like I am trapped
Stuck within my head
Overthinking
Worrying
I should be looking ahead
Replaying failed scenarios
From years and years ago
Why are they so relevant
Only Mr Anxiety knows
My smile it hides my struggles
My mask it hides my fears
My forehead slightly sweating
Here comes a few more tears
My body's tight with tension
My heart in rapid beat
I must stop giving my attention
To Mr Anxiety.

Amy Smith-Galer Poem
Forever blowing bubbles
my step it softens firmly
Firmly to the ground
'please mind the gap'
a tannoy over head
it sounds
people talking on the phone
children I hear screeching
trains thundering past
a religious preacher preaching
security watching passengers
ticket barriers beeping
the background sound
of the underground
a cleaner casually sweeping
exiting the crowded station
to the sound of beautiful music
a guitar, a blanket and a dog
a voice so therapeutic
my eyes are met with a sea of colour
the rich colour of claret and blue
supporters chanting 'IRONS
our passion so dedicated and true
we walk the long concrete path
that leads us to our home
the home of our club
the home of passion
our beautiful perfect dome
the smell of food stalls fills the air
excitement and nerves
as we venture near
entering the stadium
looking for our stand
seat numbers and tickets
still held in our hand
charged and nervous
and soaking in the atmosphere
butterflies whirling in your belly
settle that with a pint of beer
I'm forever blowing bubbles
ringing through the speakers
the fans roar loudly
we sing proudly
we're no glory seekers
our blood runs claret
our veins run blue
Westham United
through and through..

Amy Smith-Galer Poem
I hope to god your smiling
I hope life's all you thought
I hope you have listened carefully
learned all that you was taught
I hope you live in happiness
I hope that you're still fighting on
I hope you still say sorry
when you know that you were wrong
I hope you gained some confidence
I hope your feeling listened to
I hope your living your best life
wind in your hair and a beautiful sea view
I hope you fell in eternal love
I hope you found authenticity
I hope your looking after you
both mentally and physically
Life may get difficult
Love can be complicated
Health may deteriorate
Your name may get slated
Life has its ups
equally its downs
sometimes the room
feels like its spinning around
But to my future self
let it be known
I cant wait to meet you
when WE are grown..

Amy Smith-Galer Poem
clear and peaceful
the air fell still
the clouds moving in
in the distance
over the hill
the birds stopped singing
the bees disappeared
the traffic slowed
as the storm brewed near
glistening rain
trickled from the clouds
heavier and heavier
the drops came down
the sky above us rumbled
like anger from up above
a roar of booming explosion
like a passionate kind of love
electric charged the atmosphere
the sky expanded tragically
an ever-growing endless dream
of raging power
and
magically..
The sky lit up
an intensive surge of power
contractions heightened
the storm
hour by the hour
the lightening molten silver
vivid in night
the megawatt anger of nature
striking in plain sight
slashing through the darkest clouds
blacker than the devils soul
the thunder duetted the lightening
nature is in control
subtly the diagnosed
began to loose its symptoms
the sun peaked through
the clouds fluffed up
natures unwilling victims
the bluey grey brindle
with the softest accent of white
the beauty of the sky
always outshines
the stormiest of nights .

Amy Smith-Galer Poem
In a world where life
can be so cruel
instead of being part of the problem
don't be that fool
don't tweet that message
so vile and untrue
no one wants to hear the nastiness you spew
These social media platforms
are create a breeding ground
A breeding ground
for hateful opinions
Bullying in a online playground
But you heard it from the papers
So I guess it must be true?
All media outlets tweeting
Waiting for the storm to brew
The Sun, The Daily Mail and more
The media outlets
Pestering families
Banging at the door
No thought for a person
The person in question
You're creating a cycle
A cycle for depression
The 'Story' will always end the same way
A life that's lost
Their final day
So today as we should should
on every other day
be kind, be thoughtful
Nothing nice to say?
Please walk away
Don't be a troll
Don't spread your hate
Don't criticize people
Don't spread that click bait
Don't pick out their faults
Don't share that fake news
Don't follow the lies
Social Media tells you

Amy Smith-Galer Poem
A slobbering smile
A loving stare
A sofa, bed and floor
Covered in hair
A morning stroll
A paw in the air
Waiting for a tummy rub
A bear with a tear
Jumping in puddles
Biting at the rain
Itching their bum on twigs
Eyeballing Great Danes
Tapping their paws
When dinner is coming
Chasing their ball
Tail constantly drumming
A subtle growl
To warn the unknown
Snoring and twitching
On her throne
A collar that jingles
As they enter the room
A snuggle
A sneeze
A fight with the broom
A nightly routine of
Coming to say goodnight
From my side to your side
They love you with all their might
For dogs they are precious
Too precious for this world
They meet you and greet you
Spinning around they twirled
The loyalty they show
Truly unbeaten
Mans best friend
Our life they sweeten..

Amy Smith-Galer Poem
Cancer you have broken me
Torn my world apart
You selfishly took my loved one
I can't heal my broken heart
Cancer, Oh I hate you
Why do you even exist?
I wish no one had to suffer
The years we all have missed
Cancer you are evil
The worst disease to roam this earth
You take and take
Without a thought
A life
A family
Brought to a halt
The families they suffer
A world they never knew
A world without their loved one
All because of you
Cancer we will beat you
We will see it through
We will find the research
To eradicate you
Though for now
We continue to fight
We continue to fight
Through the darkness into the light
Remembering lost ones
As we look up to the sky
My heart wasn't ready
Wasn't ready to say Goodbye
