Daves 2011 Poems


These are the 28 poems written in 2011.


When you lose your soul mate

 

When you lose your soul mate
The one you also adore
You will have that depressed feeling
That you don't want to be here no more

You will need to ask yourself the questions
What would happen if you leave
Because this would be a second loss
For family and friends to grieve

It is hard at this point of time
To think beyond your state of grief
You will need the help of family and friends
And perhaps that deep belief


Written by David Boyce

A friend has gone

I have just found out
A friend has gone
Whom I have known
For O' so long

It makes me sad
And I ask, Why?
Such a lovely person
Had to die

We will never know
Why our God did this
But we can guarantee
They will be missed


Written by David Boyce

Poverty and wealth

In parts of the world, there is poverty
In others, there is drought
The world is a very complex place
For this, there is no doubt

In places, there is famine
In others, there is wealth
Many children suffering
Because of poor health

The world is such a cruel place
When there are so many needy
On the other hand, we have those with money
Who just keep getting greedy

Written by David Boyce

The answers to the unknown

Many people wish they could find out
The answers to the unknown
Although many have a gift with spirit
And are spiritually shown

Some say everything is pure white
With shining gold throughout
They talk of many buildings vast
For learning what you doubt

Others say there are Halls of Learning
Palatial with columns tall and wide
Nobody will find the true answers
Until we reach the other side

We can speculate and dream
Of a place so calm and warm
And our soul continues our life's journey
The day heaven calls us home

A family bond is special

Appreciate the ones you love
Those born as family
You have that bond within your blood
Not just a family tree

In life, the family is precious
All argue now and then
So if you are parted because of words
Just get in touch again

A family bond is special
Don't throw it all away
Because you will blame yourself
On the others dying day

So if you are reading this
With that bit of doubt
Tell that family member you love them
So you can sort things out

From winter to spring

As the seasons start to change
From winter into spring
You hear the sound of small birds
In their nests, they are starting to sing

As the temperatures slowly rise
Instead of snow its rain
The plants and trees get nourishment
For the buds to grow again

The sight of daffodils flowering
A sign that spring has sprung once more
Daylight hours will get longer
The rain may still choose to pour

The weather seems to fluctuate
Not sure, what it will bring
Windy, cold and rainy days
But this is, the British spring

Just thinking of my Dad

I wake up in the April morns
I have a little sigh
I am feeling very sad
And really need to cry

I know it is eight years soon
Since the day, I lost my dad
I think about him everyday
But I still feel so sad

Whenever I think of dad
I remember his big smile
He was always there to help me
And would go that extra mile

So if you see me through April
And think I look sad
It is nothing you have done to me
I am just thinking of my Dad


Written by David Boyce

We can both pray in hope

Many tears will fall
For me today
Whilst you bring back memories
In your own ways

Don't shed a tear for me
Because I passed away
I was hurting so much with pain
It was my chosen day

I am always around you
When you are feeling sad
Like when I was alive
Because I'm still your dad

Be patient my son
You will learn how to cope
Until the day we meet again
We can both pray in hope.

The summer months are coming

The summer months are coming
I think it may be hot
Many people love the sun to tan
But there are some, who just cannot

The temperature will rise again
They may end up so extreme
For those with chest complaints
It can be very mean

Remember when the weathers' hot
Breathing normal can be tough
Make sure you have medication
And that you have enough

This summer will be tough again
For those with a chronic chest
Anticipate the hotter days
And the drugs will work its best

To the Emergency workers O' so brave.

This weekend we take our hats off
To the emergency workers who lost their lives
Trying to save so many
But leaving behind children, husbands and wives.

On September the eleventh
I ask you all to bow your head
And think of all their loved ones
Who died on that day of dread.

We join our thoughts together
No matter where you are
Look up into the night sky
And thank our lucky star.

Because on that day in 2001
Many innocent people died
For their families we pray for comfort
With tears in our eyes.

For those sent to the Twin Towers
Doing their duty, they did die
To help those who needed them
Over One hundred storeys high.

God Bless those killed on that day
And we thank them on behalf of all those saved
We appreciate the efforts made
To the Emergency workers O' so brave.

To the dad I love so dearly

To the dad I love so dearly
Held full of respect
I hope I make you happy
The way you would expect

To the dad I love so dearly
I miss the words you spoke
Sometimes full of wisdom
From a genuine bloke

To the dad I love so dearly
You are always in my prayers
I say goodnight, God Bless
Every night I walk my stairs

To the dad I love so dearly
Our memories will forever stay
Your love will run throughout my heart
Until the time we meet one day

Now in the hands of God

Sometimes I feel disheartened
Sometimes I feel so sad
Because the world is so cruel
By taking away my dad

Sometimes I feel unsure
And ask, How can I carry on
Because I lost a dad
And from us, he has gone

Sometimes I feel upset
Sometimes I am full of hate
Thinking of my dad
Standing at those pearly gates

Sometimes I need to struggle on
Carry on against all odds
Because I lost a loved one
Now in the hands of God

Dad’s Birthday

 

I woke up today,
On this autumn morne,
To celebrate the day,
My beloved dad was born.

Although he can't be with us now,
To celebrate this day,
We think of all the happiness,
Blow you a Birthday kiss and pray.

Today we look forward,
Be happy instead of being sad,
Not wanting us to shed a tear,
Because we lost our dad.

Today I really miss him,
More than I ever day,
But I smile from deep within,
From my memories as a kid.

I'm sending out a message,
Through Heaven’s Gate to say,
We miss you more than I ever did,
Especially on your Birthday.

Birthday Bro

Today it is the Birthday,
Of someone you may know,
This person is very special to me,
Because he is my Bro.

So I send him my best wishes,
Until this Special day ends,
And I hope he has loads of cards & messages,
From all his Family & friends.

Today you are officially a year older,
So celebrate it your own way,
And from those who can't be with you today,
Have a Happy Birthday !

The storm

The storm is coming over
The rain will be here soon
The clouds cover all the sky
Blocking the light out from the moon

The cold and eerie feeling
As the wind whistles by
You know the storm is coming
And you will not be very dry

You will need to get a move on
For the safety of your home
Out of the rain and winds
In a place that is nice and warm

The storm itself will clean the air
Leaving it full of ions
But the threat of thunder
You won't be happy until it is gone

The snow can bring back memories

As the sunshine filters through
The trees looking white and gold
The heavy snow now glistening
Just like those years of old

As the sunrays shine down through the trees
The snow starts to melt and fall
As the heavy snow disappears
The trees stretch up so tall

The snow brings back old memories
Which they can now recall
When the pits in Wales were working
And the snow covered mounds of coal

When you are caring for a loved one

When you are caring for a loved one
But there is no longer any hope
You wonder when it is going to end
And how you are going to cope

When the person leaves this earthly life
You will have that inner strength to go on
You will feel upset at the time
But glad their pain has now gone

Hold on to all the hope you both had
Ask your god to help their soul
Your caring will continue after life is extinct
And you will both meet your goal

If you need the help to carry on yourself
Once your loved one has left your side
There are people to assist you through
So don't go home and hide

Tokyo Tsunami

The tsunami was so vicious
Many did not survive
But those who were lucky
Are still fighting to stay alive

Many homes just swept away
In the tsunami tidal wave
With so little warning
No time for them to be saved

So many families are devastated
Due to so many lived lost
The numbers will hit the thousands
As Tokyo counts the cost

Vehicles and boats ruined
Buildings cut in half
A tidal wave of many tons
Demolishing everything in its path

Our thoughts go out to Tokyo
Because their loss will be so high
As they gather up the remains
Of the thousands who have died

To my one and only father

To my one and only father
Who I will love all my life
You seen me through the good times
You seen me through the strife

Although you had an illness
Your passing was still so sad
It pulled upon my heartstrings
Because you are my Dad

To the one whom I miss everyday
Because you're always in my thoughts
I think of the time we spent together
And the things you taught

This week I know you would be proud
To see another granddaughter turn 18
I know you have visited us spiritually
Although you can't be seen

Missing you on Father's Day.

Sadly, my Dad has passed away,
But there is something I have to say,
Today for many is a Special day,
So, God Bless you Dad on Father Day.

I know you'll be at home with us,
And you will be saying "don't make a fuss" ,
But we miss you so, on days like this,
So your kids are sending a massive kiss.

Many people think it is silly,
Some think it's mad ,
But today is a Special one,
Happy Fathers Day , Dad !!!

The spirit world is..

The spirit world is a wonderment,
A vision of delight,
They help many people to connect,
And use their extra sight.

The spirit world is magical,
A place so full of doubt,
So many unanswered questions,
Which you need to work out.

The spirit world is that special place,
Full of love and hope,
It's the place your loved ones rest in peace,
That helps the living cope.

The spirit world is full of love,
So calm with serenity,
The feeling of excitement and tingles,
From mediums, who can see.

The memories of this smile

The memories of this smile,
To us will always be,
Something you will be remembered by,
Just you wait and see.

You always seemed so happy,
Although troubled deep within,
But your sudden loss is so sad,
I don't know where to begin.

Your loss will have a deep impact,
To the Abercynon community,
Because you were a part of us,
From our school time memories.


Written by David Boyce
07 July 2011

In loving memory of our old school friend
Debbie Matthews of Abercynon.


There are only two things

There are only two things
Which everyone can know
When we come to earth
And one day we'll have to go

From the day we arrive
On this solemn earth
It's a learning curve
From a baby's birth

It is up to you yourself
To make your own choice
Or listen spiritually
To your inner voice

Take time to learn lessons
From any mistakes you found
Because you're here to learn
On this earthly ground

To the lord one day
You will be called back again
It doesn't matter what the weather is
Sun, Snow, Wind or Rain

Sometimes you walk this earthly life

Sometimes you walk this earthly life,
Along this rocky road, not knowing where to go,
Sometimes you will walk very fast,
But other times so slow.

Sometimes you walk this earthly life,
With many choices ahead,
You have to decide your own directions,
You don't need to be led.

Sometimes you walk this earthly life,
Many chances you can take,
The more people you befriend along the way,
The more opportunities you will make.

Sometimes you walk this earthly life,
You will be so happy or really sad,
Remember all the fab times made,
Smile with the memories you have had.

A Siblings Bond.

 

The bond between siblings
Is there right from the start
Because you share the same blood
Running through your hearts

The bond is very special
Something that is hard to explain
Because you can sense certain feelings
Whilst all your lives remain

Some people are very lucky
To have several siblings in their life
But you don't need to live in each others pockets
Like a husband and a wife

Siblings can share a sense of humour
Which others may not understand
One can also start a sentence
And the other finishes it, unplanned

Through daily life siblings may argue
Feel angry and not communicate
But they will always have that special bond
For the love to resurface instead of hate

Written by David Boyce

Consequences

Some people are quiet
Full of passion and care
They never express their true feelings
Without opinions to ever share

Others are really noisy
Shout and talk really loud
They don't care who they upset
And leave under a dark cloud

Some people become violent
Like a click of a switch
Don't matter about their lifestyles
Whether poor or rich

Some people change their minds
Like the earth changes the seasons
This can have dire consequences
For no apparent reason

Some people are so volatile
And very hard to read
They live their life without thought
But thrive on pure greed

Written by David Boyce
06 November 2011

When you feel everything is against you

When you feel everything is against you,
Don't give up and let it win,
You have another Spiritual test,
Which needs now to begin.

Don't let it hurt you mentally,
And stay positive in your thought,
Believe in your guidance,
Relax by meditation as you are taught.

You may hesitate because you're feeling low,
Depression hits you out for six,
Be patient and be positive,
It is something you can fix.

When you feel everything is against you,
Ask your friends to interact,
So you will feel their love and happiness,
Until your personality is back.

At Christmas time

At Christmas time we send our thoughts,
To our family up above,
Because we miss them so much,
And want to show our love.

For Christmas should be a joyous time,
But for many it will be sad,
Because we remember our loved ones,
Sons, Daughters, Mums and Dads.

So many only want one wish,
To talk and hold them once more,
Because nobody realised how fast,
They would knock on heaven's door.

Remember Christmas time is all about,
The gifts from up above,
So pray before you sleep tonight,
And send your message to those you love.
