Just a little money

I lust a little money, the things that I could do

But I think this more important, people feeling blue!

Shoe Crime

My wife is from a foreign land,

but I, from not that far,

When in the house, my shoes

A fight, turned into war!

We argued morning, noon and night

Each determined, we were right

Then I thought, about my life

Do I choose shoes, or wife?

So I took myself, the higher ground

And together, we’re still bound!

But pushed for time, I went inside

A shoe crime, I would hide.

My wife showed me, her finger

And flicked it, up and down

Is that a footprint, she enquired

I know, it isn’t mine!

And there the proof, by the door

On patterned, wooden, floor

I said I’d learn, from my mistakes

I just need, a little time!

​

A Wing And A Prayer

I often turn to prayer, when there’s things, I just can’t do

The reason why is simple, I don’t like, feeling blue

If asking doesn’t work, I’m not afraid to plead

Just tell me where I need to go, and please reply with speed

It took longer, than I wanted, but I based my case on hope

Three Angels came, to my aid, and showed me, how to cope

The answer often, wasn’t far, He just needed, to be asked

But who knows about tomorrow - How long does happy, last?

​

Patience is a Virtue

How can I help others, if first I need to learn?

Patience is a virtue, I must wait my turn

But when will learning end? I want to do it, NOW!

“No you can’t, no you won’t, first you must know how!”

So I pray and pray again, for God to set me free

Too much time, too much effort, my never ending plea

“You’ll get there when you’re ready, it will just take time,”

That may be His answer, but I feel like it’s a crime!

I just need a little help, “Why abandon me?”

Then I recall what I forgot, my Guardian Angels Three

If He exists, this wall, will CRUMBLE to the ground

Be assured – HAVE NO DOUBT – on this my Faith is sound!

Tomorrow I’ll try harder, and perhaps I will succeed

My passion mental health, helping those who plead

The help I need I’ll ask for, and fight until I get

Patience is a virtue, I just haven’t, got there YET!

​

The mouse that barks!

Oh little mouse, that squeaks,

When will you, learn to bark ?

You must stand up, be counted

Or you’ll be eaten, by a shark!

​

Strength and Courage

Asking for help takes strength,

But always expect to be disappointed

It will help cushion the fall, if you are

But have courage, pray for it if you have to

Then fight with passion and determination

If you’re not wrong, how could they be right?

​

Tomorrow is another day!

Helping other people, is what I like to do

But am I any good at it, perhaps I have the flu

I try and try again, but mistakes are always mine

I sometimes feel a little low, but tomorrow I’ll be fine!

​

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Faith for some is said and done

But faith for me, is often won

And so I row, row my boat

Or into peril, I might float!

If only I, could be more sure

No more rowing, I’d endure

Just lay back, relax my head

And snuggle up, safe in bed!

​

Love Conquers ALL!

I have a loving wife,

She’s the backbone of my life

A child, we have two

How quickly, they have grew

Who knows what, tomorrow brings,

But grateful, my heart sings

Troubles, we’ll get through

So no point, feeling blue

Sometimes we, hit a wall

But LOVE conquers ALL!

​

Hope & Opportunity

Hope is the path, that’s right for me

Hope is the light, so I can see

Hope is the friend, the cup of tea

Hope is the I, turned into we

Hope is the smile, so I can glee

Hope is the branch, to climb the tree

Hope is the feeling, that I am free

Hope is the doors, open to me!

​

A Nicer Place To Be

If I help you, and you help me

A world more caring, could we see?

Empathy, Compassion, I think that’s the key

Then add a pinch of hope, a nicer place to be!

​

What to do?

What to do, when I don't know what to do?

When it comes to doing the right thing,

Sometimes there are no instructions.

That's why God gave us a brain,

So we could think for ourselves!

​

How would I know?

Do you hear, watch with glee

What do you, CHOOSE to see?

Heaven's Gate, what's the fee?

Please, oh please, don't ask me!

If in God you want to know

Or think that I can show:

Ask your friends, ask your teacher

Even better, ask your preacher!

But the last that you should see

That person, MUST be me!

​

Reflection:

As I built my website, I saw a reflection of myself:

Someone caring, someone daring,

Someone doing what he can.

Empathy, Compassion

And Hope for fellow man.

​

A future set in stone

I grew up in a run-down estate,

but spent many of my weekends and

school holidays on my grandfather’s farm.  

One day, out on the tractor

and link-box with my grandfather:

We were gathering stones which were

both heavy and dirty.  “Why are we doing this,”

I asked.  My grandfather replied, “It is a farmer’s job

to leave the ground a little better for the next person.”

I believe life is a responsibility, not just a right.

A responsibility to try and leave the world,

a little bit better for the next person!

​

Why does a business fail?

Does Satan grab them, with his tail?

Did they get the help, they needed?

Was their cry for help, not heeded!

​

It's a Mystery

You can make the journey harder

You can build your walls of stone

But while some go down in history

Others remain a mystery!

​

V for Victory

First, find out what to do

Then, the help, you must pursue!

Victory, demands the two

​

From Lamb to Lion

If I am a lamb, I pray to be a lion

If He answers no, I'll just keep on tryin'!

​

No Greater Power

What bank account would you treasure more than

the value of a child, parent, sibling or friend?

What danger would you risk, to prevent them from harm?

There is no greater power than the Power of Love!

What possible excuse could you provide not to

offer help to keep those 'you love' safe and well?

What mountain is too high?  What valley is too low?

What enemy is too great?  What obstacle cannot

be overcome?  Neither greed nor fear, life or death,

because ... LOVE Conquers ALL!

​

The HERD

Some think that I should, do as them

But I can see, outside the pen

I think for myself, I'm not a hen!

I know my name, it isn't 'Them'

​

Point & Blame

Some like to point and blame,

Should THEY not feel the shame?

Was there nothing more, to be done?

Or did some do... LESS... than none!

​

Smile for me

To those who feel sad,

Please don't be mad

Know - I still see,

If you can't smile for you,

Smile for me!
