As I Watch You Sleep

I watched you sleep. In the dark of the night
With such a smile on my face, That brings joy to my heart.
Night after Night, We're so out of sight, Nobody knows.
Alone so empty, Betrayed by love,  Ones we trusted.
Ones so close to our very heart, Ones we thought so true. 
Yet what could we do. 
 
Lost souls of the heart, Its what we'd become .
Now we bond as one, You said yes , Im so glad as did i , 
On that very site, To our delight .
 
Then we spoke , How could we have known.
What we'd feel, On that very first night. 
So much in common, It took us by surprise, 
So alike my love, In so many ways.
Miles apart yet, So close in our hearts .
They beat as one .
 
So much passion, Our open hearts share . 
Yet so much pain, Just the same .
Our betrayed loves, Its what they done .
Destroyed us bit at a time, Then came back for more .
 
Now its us, In so little time, yet so close we've become.
A feeling so strong, A bond so close.
One of a kind,  We're both the same.
 
I give you me, Heart, body and soul.
I promise you loyalty, truth and never will i betray.
A love so strong you'll never want let go.
 
A heart so pure, You'll always believe. 
No cause to doubt, Its just me. 
Thats what you'll see.

A Brother I Never Knew

This is from me to you , My bro
When we grew , I never knew...
I had a brother , Just like you...


40yrs gone , That’s what we’ve missed...
I never knew i had a kind bro just
like you.................

Now i know my bro , Its time to show ,
What we've missed ,This is from your sis ...
A special birthday kiss , On such a special day

Happy birthday bro , With love from your 
Sis

Street Kid

Mum an addict, Dad a drunk . 
Lost child starved of love, Living in hope .
So gentle, So young, Yet a street wise boy.
Its who you had to become.

Child so hungry, Child so lost….
Another child, lost in our system, Without hope,
Starved of love, 

Another child to be seen not heard, living in fear.
Dads violent, knocking him about, Bruised again.

Mum so numb, not even there, lifeless and stoned .
Our generation, What has it become .

Children of today . Lost In a world of human abuse .
Be it needles, Be it alcohol, Be it physical.
Be it sexual, Abuse it is, Cant you see?.
So many children, Suffer in silence.

No where to turn, No where to run.
Tears of fear , Stealing to survive.
Why is this so . Not enough can be done…

Too many ignore . Our lost children of today.
So lend a hand, Don’t ignore.
Help the street kids, Who’re trying to survive .

Give them hope, Somewhere to turn.
Listen to their silent cries of pain .
Help them out, When ever you can.
Don’t ignore,  Anymore .

Heart of Glass

My love is so pure ...My heart is made off glass..
Everyday you see through .. My heart off glass..
Every crack you see .. In my heart off glass..
Still you chip away... At my heart of glass..
With all your nasty words.. You crack it some more.
My heart off glass.

Every day i cover up and hide ,My heart off glass
Yet you still see through .. My heart off glass..
You've broke it so many times .. Its just fell apart 

Pieces lost here and everywhere .. Gone for ever more 
Now you've broke .. My heart off glass..
Still you come back .. For even more 
Off my heart off glass.

My love ,Our hearts , That beats as one.
Even on the saddest day, In my heart you will
remain.... For all eternity …

Broken Child

His daddy left, He was so hurt .
Left him behind, For one so young.

Betray and lost, He was so young .
A bond of love, Lost and broken, Left behind.
How he waited, So many times, Left in tears .
Yet still he never appeared. A lost boys silent pain .

Innocent child , So loved, Destroyed by divorcee.
He betrayed his mum, With another one so young.
So hurt , confused, His pain . Anger took his place .

One so young, Out of control, In so much pain .
Inflicting pain, Punching walls, Behind those tears
Another broken child from divorcee .

Hurt and scared, inside broken never forgiven…
A lost love . A true bond . Daddy’s son . His Loss
He never knew . Never cared . Till he saw his own disgrace .

Now its gone . That special bond . No return.
Another broken child from divorcee…

Children of Divorce

He had to leave . He was forced to go.
A loveless life . Apart from his kids .
Kids he adored . Tricked by her .

Used those kids . Like pawns in a game .
Emotional blackmail. . To her own gain.
She was so cold, Heartless too.
Loved his kids . With all his heart.

She cheated and lied . Played it all like a game
She didn’t care . Set out to hurt . Kids n all
No matter what. . She got her way . At any cost...
Spite full and nasty . She made him look ..

She told all her lies . At any cost.
Destroyed his spirit . Left him empty.
Kids confused. With all her lies.

He pleaded and begged . To share his kids..
She laughed and lied . Left him destroyed
To her gain . So she thought .

Left alone now . Nobody wants to know the spiteful
Nasty woman she’s became..

Kiss of Faith

I looked upon the lord ...High up in the sky....
 This i found strange . . As he never replied ...
 My silent cries off need .. Yet Never heard......
 An unmarried mother.. Battered and bruised ..
 I just had no faith ..For To carry me on ..
 
Kiss off death .. Ive had so many times ..
 Cut , Bleeding Broken on the floor ..
 
Tiny kids by my side . . Needing me so . . 
Still i got up ... Tried, tried and tried again ...
 A gentle smile he had . With a touch to ma face..
His Tiny hand wiped my tears .. "Awww Mum" ..
 With a very big hug ... 

A gentle kiss on my cheek... This was all i needed.
 A kiss of faith .. To carry on ....
 From my very young son ...

Why Me

When god made me, I asked why me ?.
Childhood , I was so alone.

When god made me, A heart so pure.
A heart that broke so many times.
When god made me, Why me ? .
He sent me demons, That hurt.
When god made me, Why me ?.
I asked so many times..

He made me a kind loving soul.
So why ? When god made me why did
He send man to destroy my soul..
Abuse my body, And crush my heart.

When god made me, Oh why? Why me ?
Did he send me into a black hole.
A world off pain, Betrayal and nothing to
hold...

When god made me, He broke the mould..
Sent me this road, For others to hold.
In their time of need. To show them the way....
To a safer , brighter. better way ,

So when god made me. It was for a reason
For the friend in need....

So when god made me, I got broken so many times.
To help show you’s the way .. To a Better place.
In your time of need ..So that’s why god made me...
To be your friend indeed..............

My Sons

John

He brings joy to my heart ,Such  Laughter too .
He’s my thorn in my side , Yet a rose in my heart…
He should have been two,  Was so lucky to have him.
I love him so . till my dying day .
With such a love , Only a mother should know .

Steven

He was so tiny .Oh So small . Nearly not here .
How he’s grown . So old . Yet so young .
So tall and proud . Kids and all .
Whom he adores “n” loves so much .
Proud to be his mum . And made me a 
Gran too .
