True Calling
This moment
Treasure
When in doubt
Reminisce on it.
The higher purpose
Exists above fleeting
Feelings which ebb
And, flow.
Those around you
Know when upon
Your face it glows.

Seasons
Seasons
The spring time of
Our love has turned
Into the summer
Of our joy.
There is warmth
Still to feel
In the beauty
Of a falling leaf
As the laughter
Lines appear.
In the gift of love
For all the seasons
Each and every year.

Requiem
Requiem
Hold no more
The pain within
Let it go.
Release the stones
Intent to hurl,
Don’t keep them
Let them fall.
Burn the ledger
Of past wrongs
Place the ashes
In an urn;
Bury them
Somewhere
Deep within,
The sacred place
Of a healing heart.

Please
Please
Talk to me
Of this day
How good it feels
To be free from
Yesterday.
Speak to me
Of the hope
The future has
While we live
Our dreams
Today.

Parents
Parents
You gave me
The opportunities
To experience
The dreams
You have for me.
You both were there
When I began
My journey
To fulfil my destiny.
My heart like yours
You trained to love
The dreams of
A thousand symphonies
Calling for a world to be
At peace and harmony.

Inner beauty
Inner beauty
You need to
Be going at
A snail’s pace
To discover how
Beautiful 1 am.
You may see
Me driving a
Fast car or
Travelling by tram.
It’s not my
Exterior but my
Heart, which beats
Faster whenever you
Hold my hand.
This is what
Defines me for
Who I am.

Halo
Halo
Girl when you
Wear your halo
As a necklace
It glitters and shines
Highlighting your face.
When you wear
Your halo for stilettos
You grow taller
Walking with grace
In every place.
I love it
When you bend
Your halo into a hop
Which twirls round
Your waist,
You’re the delight
Of my eyes
You’re my, favourite
Surprise.
You’re clothed in light
Whichever way
You wear it
By just being you.

Friend
Friend
You’re my sanctuary
When I’m weak.
You’re my temple
When you speak.
You encourage me
With your smile.

The rose speaks
With the eloquence

Consider my elegant

Earth to display
My living colour.
My reign may
Be an hour.
My scent in the
In the memory
Of a lover
Lasts, forever.”

A Mother’s delight
A Mother’s delight
A mother’s creation
Is her celebration.
Her joy is boundless
On your graduation.
In each school
You have
Attended to this,
Never a call
Has gone amiss.
How true it is
That mothers
Hunger for news
Even of those
Courses we need
To redo.
