"Michael"

I wrote this for my second eldest son,when he 'flew the nest'. There's something very dear - I feel I'm loosing -- a very special, precious part of me. There's an ache inside my heart that keeps on gnawing -- there's a teardrop in my eye, no one will see. For all these years you've been around-it's... Sign in to see full entry.

"Paul"

Sometimes-when all is quiet and evening shadows fall - I sit awhile and ponder-treasured moments to recall. Mistakes I made were plenty, yet still I look and find - a young man - so grand and splendid - lays constant on my mind! You were the first to flee the nest - to put this wild world to the...

" Philip"

This is no longer emotionally 'painfull' for me-I dealt with it in therapy-in 2002. During all these years, I have been weighed down-- with the burden of guilt and shame. I did what the moment forced me to do-- and I've suffered the grief and the pain. The constant reminders of a tiny babe-- of the... Sign in to see full entry.

" The Ghost Ship"

Hi I'm back.Thank you so much for your comments-I will respond-individually.I stayed by the river hence--- As I'm looking on-the waters gently ripple and stirr- a breeze awakens all. 'Though seemingly un-occupied a boat begins to turn- as the Spirit of the Fenland Waters call. In ghostly silence-she... Sign in to see full entry.

"There's A Fairy At The Bottom Of Our Garden"

I'm off for the weekend-so here's one for the young at heart. See you Monday. There's a fairy at the bottom of our garden she lives underneath the willow tree. She has a pretty toadstool home - right next door to the gnome and they play together, constantly. As I crept down there, early one morning... Sign in to see full entry.

" Time "

Time. What is time? The space between one happening and the next? Time? The question posed leaves me feeling quite perplexed! So very much can alter - in the space of time - un-predicted activities, all churning up the mind. Intrusive thoughts - that will cut like a knife - twisting and confusing -...

" Because of You "

Because of you - I have a new understanding of me. That understanding will gain in strength, all the while. Because of you - the tautness of the skin upon my face - has eased and melted into gentle grace - and I can smile. Beacause of you - I have more confidence - and a greater self-esteem. Because...

" Bruce" (my Therapist)

I wish you sweetest dreams - each time you lay your head upon the pillow - I wish you calm and sweet repose. I wish you love - each time you awaken - to sounds and scenes of beauty and of peace. And, when you're anxious or just tired -I ask God's Angels to touch your brow - and smooth away your... Sign in to see full entry.

" Eyes of Innocence" for my Grandaughter-Alice.

Blue - open wide, innocent - as the babe herself. Non accusing - non judgemental. A gentle tide - two pools of sea high on a shelf - surrounded by a sandy coloured mantle. Her Mother said - "she's been a bitch these past few days". I looked again - I saw no signs. Her eyes so innocent - that had not... Sign in to see full entry.
