Blue Bell Flower

as the snow slowly leaves us
in springs longer day,
you brighten the land scape 
with your cheery blue way, 

so soft and so tender
as the season sways
your colour brings magic
of natures sweet way,

through the soft night
you blossom with might
with your blue little flower
what a lovely sight,

waving and greeting
as the sun shows face
nature has giving us 
the smile of your grace,

you spring up so sudden
when the morning starts
so welcome so bright
such a joy to our hearts,

coloured by nature
you smile in the sun
glowing and showing
your nature fun, 

keep glowing you beauty
make our hearts swell
sparkling and twinkle
you little blue bell,,,,,,

I,M a Little Robin

i,m a little robin flying around,
looking for food that may be lying on the ground,
flying high up in the air to see what i can see thats down there, ,
out pops a worm so close to a tree, so fat and juicy and looks yumee, 

i fly down with almighty speed,
i have to crash land on my knees, 

the worm see,s me coming and decided to move,
laughing and giggling as i missed my queue

down i went, so fast to the ground,
moving so fast without making a sound,
how did it seem me as i missed my pray,
that little worm will live till another day,

so high in the air looking around, 
i see the worm laughing as it wriggles about ,
all his friends all came up to see,
now there all laughing at poor old me,
 at my poor little skint old  knees,

decided to try once again, 
as the little worm sat on a chair,
it seen me coming in so fast,
once again it started to laugh,

flew past the worm heading to ground,
screaming and kicking as i flew around,
i never seen what was in front of me,
i never seen that old oak tree,

head first i went down,
smacked the tree with a very loud sound,
with the sore head i began to think, 
i will eat fruit, as it does not think,

safely i stand upon that old tree,
i still see the worms all laughing at me,
maybe next year when i come around,
that same old worm is sure to be found,

since i missed it and it is hard to catch, 
maybe next time i will wear a safety hat,
till we meet once again i shouted down 
to the  little worm who shouted back, i will see you around,,,

Meeting a Stranger

it was very nice,
my heart started pounding
as due to the surprise, 

they came and said hello
i was so amazed
my eyes lights up 
as sure i seen there name, 

where have you been hiding
i hope all is well
what are you doing
i hope that you can tell, 

i was so happy
that things are going good,
nice to hear some things 
going the way they should,

they asked me if i am ok
i did not say a lie,
things are going good
and this to my surprise, 

am glad to see your name
as thought things were wrong
you vanished with out a trace
and thought a did some wrong, 

i am pleased to here your happy
and nice to see you around
my face is smiley
to know you are around,

my friendship never left you
for all the time you had gone, 
am pleased to see you missed me
and our friendship stays as strong,,

Missing You

My heart is drowning and i can not swim, 
I do not know, where shall i begin,
All the things that were said and done, 
Wish i know just what went wrong,
i am confused and also in pain, 
Do not think my heart will mend again,

Thinking of the smiles that we had, 
I never thought that things were bad.
Looking back on the day we met, 
I always wanted to be your pet,

Now the time as came along, 
And end of the day has been drawn,
Wishing time has come and gone, 
All my life a will be alone,

With the sadness floating around, 
I really want to be in the ground,
But as time passes me by, 
I will always look into the sky. 
Seeing the kids growing old, 
This in life i will hold,

It keeps you going through thick and thin, 
And a new day will begin,
So do not let go for what you have, 
As the next day may be your last,

Keep on smiling and tap your feet, 
As you never know who you will meet,
It may be a friend or a loved one to, 
And i pray this never happens to you,
But if it does your not alone, 
There are many that has be on that thrown,
 
So just remember your heart is strong, 
And life will sing as it goes on, 
So keep your chin up and do not cry
Am sure in the end we will get by,,,

A Mothers Struggle

In a town where black beauty's from,
There is a mother with her loves so strong, 
She never does no wrong, for what is right,
She protects her kids with all her might.

Money is hard as they struggle along,
Whither poor or rich her loves stays strong, 
She teaches her kids what's wrong and what's right,
And hope they grow up without a fight.

Her kids are happy as to what they have,
Is a dear mother that's never sad, 
She always smiles all night and all day.
And hopes her troubles stay far away.

They go to town to do shopping,
They never want for what is due,
Always window shopping at lovely things,
As the kids know there mother cant afford expensive things.

Never a quarrel  about money or food,
As what they have is something 
that is so good, 
Its not riches or a fast car, 
Its a mothers love 
that beats things by far.

Our Kids Hurt Us,

why do they hurt you and think its not wrong,
making you cry when your all alone, 
they say the words that never should be said,
like i hate you mother, i wish you were dead,

they think there tough when there with friends , 
you stand there alone and nothing makes sense , 
you tremble with anger deep inside,
 but there your children and your pride

what have we done that is so wrong,
the oldest child spits on the wall, 
we say that there life is not tough, 
when we were younger we had it rough, 

you sit alone and try and work things out, 
am i a bad parent without a doubt,
you sit and cry and all alone, 
while your daughter thinks shes on the throne, 

her life,s a mess, and hurts her sister to,
she aint scared in what she will do,
the love we give is never enough, 
she make our life,s really tough, 

steal and raiding when were not there,
stealing from home and she dont care, 
god knows why i stand so much, 
maybe she thinks our loves never enough,

the youngest child stands so strong, 
my youngest child cant do no wrong, 
she says, mother are you all right,
i fight back the tears so i dont give her a fright, 

maybe my ex has a hand on this,
paying my daughter to give me s**,
he slanders my name all over town, 
but he was the one i  throw out,

he cheats and lies and does not care,
hoping the child will pull my hair, 
am lost and hurt and no where to turn,
my daughter cuddles me with love,

we think its best the oldest is away,
us two can live better each day, 
who are we to sit and judge, 
the oldest will never know whats a mothers love,

maybe one day she will go through, 
a child of hers huts her to, 
its not nice to sit and think, 
we pray to god, it happens and stinks, 

we turn our backs this one last time, 
as your no daughter that hurts with pride,
treating your mother really bad, 
and a sister here you wish you never had,

this is just our last thing, 
who will you turn to when you need a drink, 
your sister and me see what you have done,
so go now as we  have no love,,,,

A Dying Father,,

my fathers dying
i am so scared
waiting on him not to be there
watching him slowly fading away, 
wish i could hold him till he drifts away, 

slowly he goes into a sleep, 

my mothers waiting to take you to  the garden of eve,

so fail and week, and not now what's going on. 
my love for my father will always be strong,

scared to loose you and know your not around, 

will hate the day you go in the ground, 
who will come and and teach me wright from wrong, 
who will kiss me and say good night, 

no ones love will ever be so strong, 
as a children has for parents thats gone, 
in your arms you held me tight, 
when a was a child you kissed me goodnight, 

i pray the lord god is good to you, 
for all your love you gave out thats true, 
helping people when they were in need, 
showing there friendship was true in deed, 
helping people all through there pain, 
my dear father cant wait till we meet again, 

in my heart you will always be there, 
my mother is also beside me and saying don,t be scared, 
she will guid you to a brand new life, 
where my mothers waiting as she was your bride, 

gone forever but not from my heart, 
my love for my parents will never part, 
in my dreams your both standing there, 
listening to the questions and all my prayers, 
i am happy your not in pain, 
all my love to we meet again, 

good night my father and sleep so well, 
i know when you go its not to hell. 
as you were an angel with your sweet singing voice, 
gone forever but not through choice, 

i may cry as your not here, 
no one to hold me when am in fear, 
i pray i meet you on the other side, 
with my mother and a family that was just right, 
so farewell my father as i kiss your head, 
i dream of you as i lay in my bed, 
and in my heart, you will never be dead, 
love you forever as a child's love is true, 
o my father i will miss you

caroline

there is a lady out there, 
so gentle, kind and sweet, 
so very big in her awareness,
but her size so small and neat, 

she makes her way into out hearts,
with kindness, friendship and fun,
giving out such radiant beams, 
that means so much to us, 

she is shy and never demanding, 
she has given everyone so much joy, 
loyalty, honesty and truthful,
just like mother earth, 

capable, able and willing,
her days seems to never end, 
going about life's needing, 
still joy to all she does bring, 

her temperament is soft of meaning,
she enjoys to lend her hand, 
giving strength to  those in need,
no meanness or self-demand,

she has her time of storminess,
when there are those who rave,
but fairness in her own life,
a lady that gives a man his dreams,

she does her best to satisfy,
and i mean by in the team, 
and her voice is ever tender,
with a soft smile upon her cheek, 

she is a lady through and through, 
for that the heart is strong,
be gentle when you talk to her, 
for she never deserves no wrong,

she is tired from trials and working, 
still with kindness and smiles, 
to meet this wonderful lady,
is worth driving for miles, 

she is full of beauty,
and her heart is soft and kind,
there is only one person, 
and thats caroline on my mind, 

i do want to hold her, 
and take any pain away, 
to keep her in my arms, 
all night and all day, 

she really is a beauty, 
that makes my  heart melt, 
no matter where i go in life, 
i will remember for what i have felt, 

so with all these feelings,
and kindness that she gives,
i want to give her my own heart, 
as she is best there is,
