NEW YEARS EVE
THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR
THEY CALL IT NEW YEARS EVE
LOOK BACK AT ALL THE MEMORIES
THIS YEAR YOU’RE GOING TO LEAVE
SOME YOU WILL CHERISH ALWAYS
AND KEEP FOR ALL IT’S WORTH
BECAUSE SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU
HAS BEEN GIFTED WITH A BIRTH
SOME OTHERS YOU WISH TO FORGET
BUT KNOW YOU NEVER WILL
FOR SOMEONE CLOSE PASSED OVER
AND SOME WERE NEVER ILL
SOME WILL BE VERY PLEASANT
AND CLOSE TO YOUR HEART
SIT DOWN AND LIST THE GOOD THINGS
BACK TO JANUARY MAKE A START
SO WHEN YOU FEEL UNHAPPY
IN THE NEW UPCOMING YEAR
SIT DOWN AND READ YOUR MEMORIES
AND SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR
DON’T PONDER ON THE BAD THINGS NOW
ONLY TEARS WILL BE SHED
FOR TOMORROW IS A NEW START
A NEW YEAR IS AHEAD

Winters day
Today the sun is shining
With an ever brighter glow
The temperatures gone really cold
And they say it may even snow
Everything is frozen white
A blanket of frost across the floor
The brightness of the sun reflects
And makes it look like snow
If you’re taking photographs
The scenery looks really nice
But it is very dangerous
As the water turns to ice
By afternoon the frost has gone
You feel the heat upon your face
The Gritting Lorries will be out tonight
For your safety, just in case.

I ASK OF YOU
I ASK OF YOU
TO SPEAK WITH ME
WHEN IT IS SAFE
AND I AM FREE
I ASK OF YOU
TO BRING TO ME
FRIENDS, RELATIVES
AND FAMILY
I ASK OF YOU
TO SAY TO ME
A SECRET THING
OR MEMORY
I ASK OF YOU
TO HELP ME LEARN
TO SEND ME THOUGHTS
I CAN CONFIRM

WATERS EDGE
I AM SITTING HERE
AT THE WATERS EDGE
MY BODY PERCHED
UP ON THIS LEDGE
THE WATERS DEEP
AND LOOKS SO COLD
MY MIND DRIFTS OFF
TO MEMORIES OF OLD
I THINK OF THE TIMES
WHEN WE WOULD MEET
AS THE WATER FLOWS
AROUND MY FEET
WE WOULD STROLE AROUND
BOTH ARM IN ARM
AS I CONCENTRATE
ON THE WATERS CALM

Walking the dogs
Many times we’d take the dogs out,
For their daily walk.
We’d go out for a wonder,
On the way we’d have a talk.
The dogs ran round so happily
Sometimes they’d even clash
They’d run around like idiots
In the big field and long grass.
I remember like its yesterday
As if a big long dream
On the way home we’d stop for five
So the dogs drank at the stream.
The memories of yesteryear
When I was but a child
When we had a laugh and a joke
With the dogs just running wild.

ANNIVERSARY
An anniversary is a confirmation,
Of the time you’ve had together.
Things change, for both of you constantly,
Just like the daily weather.
Both of you have lots of love
In the time, which you have spent.
Only the two of you will know,
What that love really meant.
An anniversary is a stepping stone,
To help you through your life.
It shows love and commitment,
Between a husband and a wife.

I REMEMBER
I REMEMBER THE DAY,
YOU WAVED ME OFF, GOODBYE.
YOUR GRINNING SMILE,
AND TEAR IN YOUR EYE.
I REMEMBER THE THINGS YOU SAID TO ME,
COS YOU SAID THEM OUT SO LOUD.
“SON YOU MAKE ME HAPPY,
YOU REALLY MAKE ME PROUD"
I WORE MY UNIFORM AT GROUND ZERO,
WITH YOUR SMILE STILL IN MY HEAD.
AS I THOUGHT HOW I MISSED YOU ALL,
LIKE THE FAMILIES OF ZEROS DEAD.

LIFES CHALLENGES
As long as you are happy
That is all that counts
Don’t worry about the rumours
Happiness is paramount
Some think they know everything
About you and your life
But there are certain things kept
Between a husband and a wife
Ahead, the time is challenging
And things you must decide
Look forward and think carefully
These choices you’ll have to abide
Life is full of decisions
Nobody knows what’s around the bend
Remember you’re not all alone
Things will turn ok in the end

Tranquil surroundings
When you know you are dieing
And you don’t have very long
Talk to those already there
To help keep you very strong
Your faith is irrelevant
And the same you are all treated
Your faith will help you through this life
Until the day that you are greeted
The day that you feel ready
Just walk towards the light
Your illness will be taken away
And your soul will feel so bright
A totally different feeling
No fear or alarm
Just tranquil surroundings
This will make you very calm

If I don’t wake up in the morning
If I don’t wake up in the morning
Give everyone my love
I will be watching over you
From the heavens up above
Thank them for the help they gave
To me whilst I was there
For the happiness and laughter
We had together each year
To my lovely children
Who will be crying for some time?
I will be beside you forever
As you go along your own lifeline
Don’t be hard on others
Don’t swear or rant and rave
Remember all the times we had
And all the love we gave
If I don’t wake up in the morning
I will be waiting next to god
We will meet again some day
When you’re ready, give me the nod
