childhood memories

rainy days were just as fun,
as running round like an idiot in the sun,
so fast you thought you could take flight,
every step taking all your might,

knock-a-door run and manhunt alike,
or just riding round with your mates on your bike,
not caring what this life does bring,
only bothered who's going next on the swings.

these simple pleasures are often forgotten,
after childhood things become so rotten,
bills to pay, ppl depending on you,
not just sparkly glitter and crazy glue.

so remember these feeling that we all once had,
remember that life isn't so bad,
run like an idiot every chance you get,
that child's still there if your mind's not set.

mothers day

no present better than a kiss and a squash,
dont want any chocolates or flowers so posh,
dont care for a card that cost £4.99,
dont need them coz i know this cuddle is all mine.

no different today it's still me they run to,
this is my present-their love so true,
so keep your teddys, cups and flowers,
just squash me for what seems like hours.

a card made from scrap paper but sprinkled with love,
my kids are my blessing sent from above,
every single day is mothers day for me,
coz every single day in your eyes that love i see.

so here's to my kids for loving me so much,
coz every single day my heart they do touch,
with just a smile, just a laugh, just a little thing,
it's amazing the amount of joy that you two bring.

THE GREATEST GIFT

the greatest gift you can give to another,
you've given the gift of being a mother,
a selfless act that took one so strong,
for this, so many have waited so long.

countless heartaches they have had,
time spent hurting and feeling so bad,
until their angel was sent from up high,
now it's happy tears they cry.

you are that angel, their saving grace,
so hold your head high, put a smile on your face,
be happy, content and full of pride,
coz all who see your wings will be by your side.

so love from us all to you we send,
i'm glad i can say "i have an angel as a friend",
we're here no matter the time or place,
your friends forever will keep that smile on your face.

awake

lay pretending to sleep in my bed,
so many thoughts rushing round my head,
plans for life and random chores,
sleep crashing like an ocean upon my tired shores.

a distant horizon to bring me some rest,
before this lack of sleep my sanity does test,
a dawning sun to bring me some peace,
so all the random thoughts will cease.

still happy am i...still raising a tired grin,
as i hear the morning life begin,
the binmen are out and the birds singing high,
so with these comforting noises i try......
to rest once more,
to close my eyes,
brain wont you hear my bodys crys?
switch off for a moment,
let thoughts turn to dreams,
let crashing oceans become tiny streams,
watch fantasys unfold in my head,
for though i am alone in my bed,
the one that i love, that i hold dear,
will in my dreams...be right here.
