In Solitude
Sitting here in solitude,
Overlooking the town.
The trees are looking beautiful,
And the houses are so brown.

The clouds are looking fluffy,
In the shades of light and grey.
It is really peaceful here,
I could sit about all day.

The sounds of small birds singing,
As I sit here in my car.
The small flowers near,
And the city is so far.

The smell of grass is lovely,
Its cut cos it's so high.
The sound of the cars tyres,
As the traffic passes by.

I could sit for hours,
In this quiet street.
Overlooking Llandaf,
Where the trees are cut so neat.

Travelling through the countryside

The grass, the trees
The mountainside
You're travelling through
The countryside

The grass is long in shades of green
Trees so high and trees so lean
With autumn brown
And summer green

With houses scattered
Some old, some new
You're travelling through
This lovely view

You're passing fast
At speeds so high
The change of clouds
In the grey - blue sky

The Earthquake

I would like to tell you
What lurks beneath the ground
It sits there still for many years
And doesn't make a sound

Then one day you will feel
The grounds beneath you shake.
The trees start falling over
All cables loose like snakes.

Then the floor will open
Wide cracks along the ground
And a noise as loud as thunder
With buildings falling down

No body has control of it
The shaking and the sound
It's deadly and takes many lives
The earthquake beneath the ground

Written by David Boyce - 08/12/04

God Bless all those who have lost their lives in the disaster after the earthquake tsuname in December 2004.
Help the families of those who are missing and may not be found by their families,
help the souls of those many children who stood no chance with the waves so strong,
Help them to reach out to the light!



ANGELS

AS I LOOK UP
I SEE THE ANGELS WINGS
I HEAR THE SOUNDS
AS THE ANGEL SINGS

I SEE THE GLOW
THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT
THIS MAKES ME SMILE
A WONDEROUS SIGHT

THEY LOOK SO LIGHT
AS THEY FLOAT ALOFT
WITH FACES BRIGHT
WHICH LOOK SO SOFT

THEY FADE AWAY
AS FAST AS THEY CAME
THE LIGHT GOES OUT
LIKE A CANDLES FLAME

WHY DID THEY COME
WE'LL NEVER KNOW
WITH SMILES SO SOFT
AND SKIN LIKE SNOW

Angels - A message to you

When you look up and see the angel's wings
You think about so many things
Those daily things are you're choices
Because you cant hear the angels voices
Because you live upon this ground
You can't hear the song or the angels sound
When you're asleep we come to you
Within a light so bright and pure.

Written By Dave Boyce Sept 2004


BECOMING BOLD

AS I RELAX
WITH MY GUIDES I SEE
THE PEOPLE PAST
THEY ARE SO CLEAR

I ASK FOR THEM
TO STAND BESIDE
I FEEL PROTECTED
THER WITH MY GUIDE

I FEEL A CHILL
ITS NOT THE COLD
LOVED ONES DRAW CLOSE
BECOMING BOLD

THEY GIVE ME CLUES
THROUGH WAYS OF THOUGHT
WITH MEMORIES
OF THINGS THEY BOUGHT

THEY TALK TO ME
LIKE A LIVING BEING
AND THEY STAND THERE
AS I AM SEEING

WRITTEN BY
DAVE BOYCE 02/08/04


The Tower

Into the Tower, we must go
There's people in trouble,
We all know.

The towers stretch into the sky
Over one hundred storeys high.

As people run out every way
They are in trouble they can not stay

Down the stairs, they must go lower
To leave the danger of the tower.

For damage caused to the towers beauty,
We must go in, it is our duty.

As we go high we have to poke
Because the thickness of the smoke

Its getting hot as we go higher
The intense heat of burning fire.

This is real, its no dream
As people run, and people scream

As things drop of the damaged tower
People hide and people cower.

We did not know it would fall
We done our duty
We gave our all.

WRITINGS

SOMETHINGS ARE WRITTEN
IN LOVE AND LIGHT
BY OTHER SOULS
WHO ARE OUT OF SIGHT

SOMETHINGS HAVE MEANING
AND OTHERS DON'T
SOMETHINGS
YOU'LL KNOW
AND SOME YOU WONT

SOMETIMES IT'S WRITTEN
IN UNUSED WORDS
THEY MENTION FLOWERS
AND EVEN BIRDS

IT MAYBE WRITTEN
FOR YOU OR ME
SOME MAYBE FACT
OR PHILOSOPHY

JUST WRITE IT DOWN
IT'S SO INTENSE
IT'S NOT UP TO YOU
TO MAKE GOOD SENSE

O' Dad we miss you

O' Dad we miss you O' so much,
It's been a sad long year.
We've thought about you so many times,
And all have shed a tear.

We know we had the best dad,
Of anyone on earth.
You took care of all six of us,
From the days of our birth.

You know we miss your laughter,
Your emotions as you cry.
We ask ourselves here everyday,
For the reasons why?

We know you're always with us,
From the messages we have had.
We know you'll always be there.
Cos you're our loving Dad.

Seasons

THE DAFFODILS ARE COMING
AND SOON IT WILL BE SPRING
AND ALSO COMES THE BLUEBELLS
AND THE SUNSHINE IT WILL BRING

AND SOON WILL BE THE SUMMER
THE SUN AND NO MORE RAIN
THE TROUBLE IS THAT WHEN IT'S HOT
THE DROUGHT IS JUST A PAIN

THEN THERE COMES THE AUTUMN
THE LEAVES GO GREEN TO BROWN
THEN SEVERAL WEEKS LATER
THEY ALL COME FALLING DOWN

ALONG COMES THE WINTER
WITH HIGH WINDS AND THE COLD
THE REALLY ICY WEATHER
LIKE THE WINTERS, WE HAD OF OLD

THEN THEY START AGAIN IN SPRING
AND WORK RIGHT THROUGH THE REST
THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT MEMORIES
WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE THE BEST?

Ponty Tumble

They came down from the valley's
From many miles around.
The hustle and the bustle,
Of the old market town.

They'd have their weekly meetings
As some lived miles apart.
Their hair was combed back perfect,
And they dressed up really smart.

Standing with his mates,
Looking really coy.
Wearing his leather jacket,
Like a proper teddy boy.

You can hear the voices mumble,
As they have their daily smoke.
Standing on the Tumble
As they have a laugh and joke.

When you're felling unhappy,
Depressed and really down.
Just watch the old T.v. programme,
Of the sixties Ponty town.

Inspired by the
Wynford Vaughan Thomas History Programme
of Pontypridd Town in which his father,
Frederick James Boyce appeared several times
at the Ponty Tumble.
The footage has been shown on several history programmes.

The Garden

From season to season,
The weather changes fast.
With all the climate needed,
For the growing of the grass.

The grass in the garden,
Entwined with all the weeds.
New flowers planted recently,
Growing up from their seeds.

The flowers in the garden,
Ready for their bloom.
And up from their hiding place,
Pops the spreading wild mushroom.

Nature has a funny way,
To help these things to last.
To help their vibrant colours
And the greenness' of the grass.

Feeling Down


I don't feel right
I feel all tense
I'm feeling down
It don't make sense

I'm feeling down
I feel a jerk
I need time off
I just can't work

I need some help
A counselling session
To help me through
Reactive Depression

A problem spoken
Is a problem halved
I'm just not eating
I'm feeling starved

You will be right
In a little time
With all your might
It will be fine

You will be back
To your true self
Fighting fit
With a perfect health

So when you're down
And feeling bleak
Ask for help
And you will seek

Knights of Olde


We met a lady,
With a heart of gold
Who runs a place
Called the Knights of Olde

We wandered round
We walked for miles
Then we came across
Some happy smiles

When we called in
We'd have a laugh
With the management
And the waiting staff

The music played
The lovely sound
As we ate the best
For miles around

When we were there
We ate loads
At the best place
On the island of Rhodes

There is one thing
We would like to mention
Thanks very much
For all the attention!

In the shadow

I LOOK FOR YOU
IN THE SHADOW OF THE NIGHT
NOTHING TO SEE
YOU'RE OUT OF SIGHT

I ASK OUT LOUD
FOR YOU TO DRAW CLOSE
IT'S A LEARNING CURVE
FOR YOU AND ME BOTH

I SEE YOU THERE
IN THE DISTANCE YOU WALK
I WAIT A WHILE
FOR YOU TO TALK

I AWAIT YOUR HELP
I HAVE NO CHOICE
I DON'T HEAR YOU
I ONLY HEAR MY VOICE


WRITTEN BY DAVE BOYCE /04




Live, Listen and Look

Live for the morning
Live for the night
Feel for the fear
Feel for the plight

Listen for the learning
Listen for the sound
Listen very carefully
With your ear to the ground

Looking into nothing
Believing in your thought
Believe in what you're seeing
And loved ones will be brought

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE

A GIRL SITS IN THE CORNER
WAITING FOR HER MUM
THERES BEEN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT
TODAY SHE WILL NOT COME

MUM WAS ON THE WAY TO GET THE GIRL
WHEN A CAR DROVE INTO HER
IT WAS DRIVEN BY A DRUNK DRIVER
TO THEM IT IS JUST A BLUR

SOMEONE WILL NEED TO TELL THE GIRL
HER MUM HAS JUST BEEN KILLED
THE GIRL WILL CRY AND SCREAM ALOT
AND THE AIR WILL BECOME STILL

SO THOSE OF YOU WHO DRINK AND DRIVE
THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCE
PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE AGAIN
YOU KNOW THAT IT MAKES SENSE

Uncle Sam

The things I liked with Milbourne,
Where I lived most of my life
With my boy Steven
And Evelyn my wife.

I really did like Milbourne
And the people who I met
They'd go up to the shop for me
And also put on a bet.

I am a retired miner
The kids called me Uncle Sam
Especially young Shiner
The big bloke that I am.

I'd like to leave a message
To the people who I love
I said it lots of times before,
Peace Cuz !!

NIGHT FLIGHT

I'M FLYING ON AN AEROPLANE
UP IN THE SKIES ABOVE
FLYING AWAY ON HOLIDAYS
WITH THE ONES I LOVE

WE'RE GOING AWAY ON HOLIDAY
TO AN ISLAND WHICH IS NEW
THE FLIGHT IS GOING REALLY WELL
WITH REAL NICE CABIN CREW

WE ARE ALL WATCHING T.V.
TO GET US IN THE MOOD
WE'RE GETTING HUNGRY NOW
CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE OUR FOOD

THERE IS A BIT OF TURBULENCE
IT IS A BUMPY FLIGHT
IT'S STARTING TO GET DARK OUTSIDE
COS IT'S AN EVENING FLIGHT

WE BOUGHT THE AIRLINE HEADPHONES
TO HEAR THE T.V. SOUND
ONLY THREE MORE HOURS
AND WE'LL BE ON THE GROUND

BY THE POOL

THE SUN IS HOT
THE POOL IS CALM
WE SIT BESIDE
THE LARGE GREEN PALM

WATER TRICKLES
LIKE A RUNNING STREAM
AS WE LAY HERE
RUBBING ON SUN CREAM

THE HOT SUNS RAYS
HITS OUR SKIN
THE POOL IS COOL
I THINK I'LL GO IN!

Thunder and Lightening

The black clouds are above us,
As we hear the thunder roar.
We are waiting for the rain to come,
When it does it will just pour.

We can see the clouds in front of us,
As they clash they open up.
Then the rain comes clashing down,
Like water from a cup.

As the rain comes heavier,
We make a running dash.
Then we see the lightening,
In the distance there's a flash.

This can be frightening,
This really is no dream.
The thunder and the Lightening,
Work together a s a team.

Will Power

Will power is something
That every one has got.
Whether you realise,
Or whether you do not.

Will power can help you through
The times which are so bad.
Will power will be there
When you are feeling sad.

Will power and determination,
Can always get you through.
Just ask for help from us above
And we can help you too!

The Lord gave us ....

The Lord gave us our legs to walk
To run and climb up high
The Lord gave us our arms to touch, to feel,
And to reach up to the sky

The Lord gave us our eyes,
To see our loved ones as our lives go by
Your eyes to show emotion
And to help us cry.

Your mouth to smile so happy
And frown when you're sad,
To talk to loved ones dearly
And shout when you are mad.

A nose he gave to us as well
As an extra power
To smell the things we need to eat
And the scents of nature's flowers.

Life's Trials and Tribulations

The memories of times gone by
The happy times of past
Some will always be there
And some will never last

Life's trials and tribulations
Are with you throughout your life
Whether it's having kids
Or marrying a wife

Things are sent to try us
Sometimes we can get low
You feel that you can't cope any more
And there's nowhere to go

Life's trials and tribulations
Don't think you can get by
For help, you only need to ask
Don't let the chance walk by

When you're feeling low one day
Just sitting round to mope
Think of those great memories
To help you get by and cope

Life's trials and tribulations
Not happiness and wealth
Remember all the happy times
At least you're in good health
