Julie Lindsey Poem
Sometimes you made me laugh,
Sometimes you made me cry.
Sometimes I made you laugh,
Sometimes I made you cry.
Sometimes you made me angry,
Sometimes you made me happy.
Sometimes I made you angry,
Sometimes I made you happy.
Sometimes you made me proud,
Sometimes you made me despair.
Sometimes I made you proud,
Sometimes I made you despair.
Sometimes you made me giggle,
Sometimes you made me embarrassed.
Sometimes I made you giggle,
Sometimes I made you embarrassed.
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes.
Good times and bad times,
But always, always, always you've loved me
And always , always, always I've loved you.
You've always been my Mum and will be ….always.

Julie Lindsey Poem
Once a week I walk up those stairs
Trying to believe I will find one who cares.
My mind is full of what I want to say
But then I freeze and seem to think a different way.
I want to look you in the eye,
I want to speak, maybe shout and even cry.
To tell you of the battle thats within
Of fears and worries, but how do I begin?
You are always patient,calm and kind
At times I must seem an awful bind.
But no, I must try to have belief
That opening up will give me relief.
Reject those powerful negative thoughts and points of view
They are lies and simply just not true.
I'd like to tell you about my sad heart
But never quite know how to start.
I'd like to tell you about the days I feel so low
And every body part seems slow.
The yearning within for what has passed me by
Which keeps me awake with thoughts to question why.
The need to have someone to care
Is very strong, but then disperses to more of scare.
But the thought that stays above
Is to give and offer that inner love.
But on reflection of twenty sixteen,
Some changes there certainly has been.
When negative thoughts and sadness fill my head
I really try to remember the things you've said.
I try to calm and distract my crazy mood,
By cooking, talking, writing to work against the inner feud.
Yes many things I have learnt from you,
And feel I'm in a better place than the one you first knew.

Julie Lindsey Poem
We have been in lockdown now for several weeks,
And finally, it seems Corona Virus is at its peak.
To begin with there were plenty of chores
But now I've had enough of sorting through the drawers.
I just can't seem to get the motivation,
And feel like I'm in hibernation.
I know I should not cry or moan
When sometimes I feel so alone.
But it's how I feel deep within,
So yes, I know I shouldn't, but I do find comfort from a gin.
I'm finding my emotions are running wild,
And I'm also trying to cope with my inner child.
Learn new skills they say
But there's so much sadness throughout the day,
My eyes get red and puffy with the tears
As i feel the loss of both young and old in years.
For the people who mourn
Or those who just seem so forlorn
Then there's the anger that catches me unaware
And makes me shout,scream and swear.
Sometimes I manage to laugh and it's not all gloom
Especially when friends pop up on zoom.
But virtual this and virtual that, are not the same,
And it really does seem such a shame
For there seems to be no guarantees
To the end of this horrid Covid 19 disease.
But as the symbol of the rainbow can demonstrate
There's always hope and we may soon celebrate.
Every day can sometimes feel like Monday blues
But loosing choice can clarify what to choose.
It is so hard not seeing any one
But at least I can go out for a walk or run,
Where I try my best to clear my head
So much better than staying in bed.
Although we must be two metres apart
The words of strangers can warm my heart,
For although it's often only small talk
It puts a spring in my step, as I continue my walk.
The rainbow will eventually appear
So lets pray, that just as now, we continue to be honest, kind and sincere.
