Festive Thanks

As I laid you down

beneath that rich dark earth.

My heart began to quiver

In my mind that thought!

I have lost you Dad?

is all my mind would say.

I have lost you Dad

and it's not just for today?

How many of us have said these words

each and every single day!

To have loved and lost someone "Great"

My god,what else can we say!!!

I have lost you Dad

but not for good!

Because in our heart we know

you were wonderful and full of Love.

So every year

at this festive time.

I think of you

And put it into rhyme. 

I "Thank You Dad"

for being there

You made my life

I knew you cared.

"Merry Christmas"...... 2010

Cold,Cold Frosty Morning!!

What a day to contemplate!
What a day to think!
An icy cold winters day.
Not the day to drink?


Keep warm and cosy inside.
And healthy you will stay.
As the cold and frosty outside.
Makes you very easy prey!!


You know it makes sense
Be sure to stay in doors
As the cold,cold frosty morning
Will be nipping at your toes.


Help is close at hand
When ever your in doubt
Just phone,call or text
Or maybe even shout!

Another Twist in "The Road" ????

When everything seems to be back to normal - "BANG" - and another twist in my "Long and Winding Road"  In the last 2 years or so I have had some major twists to face,what with the death of my dad,and a life threatening illness to a friend things couldn't have got much worse!!!!!

HOW WRONG I WAS 

Out of the blue this Monday 15 November 2010 and without any prior warning my dear wife suffered a heart attack,what a shock! at the tender age of 55 I was devastated to say the least. I must first of all thank with all my heart the people involved in this life changing event.Firstly my neighbour,who had the strength of mind to reassure my wife and get her to the doctor.To the doctor and ALL the staff at the surgery (They were fantastic) The paramedics and ambulance guys (Worth your weight in GOLD) And my biggest thanks to each and everyone of the staff at U.H.C. in Coventry from the cleaners,nurses,doctors and surgeons I thanks you from the bottom of my "HEART" --- The N.H.S. take a lot of stick from Joe public,but my experience over the last few days has been nothing short of FANTASTIC.

Ending on a positive and happy note,just received a text from the lady herself,in good spirits,procedure done and looking forward to coming home.

Fellow bloggers and friends,sorry for taking this little bit of space up,but as I said at the beginning of my blog:

"I write what I Feel - And Feel what I write" -    Many Thanks

Healing Hands

He feels,

He touches

He prods

And pokes.

He looks

He listens

He frowns

And jokes.

The body he knows

The mind is alert

His fingers are nimble

But sometimes hurt

He keeps good council

Never speaks out of turn

Strong,Independent 

And eager to learn

Good physiotherapists

Are hard to find

They keep you strong in the body

And healthy in Mind. 

That Time Again!

Leaves are falling

Leaves are falling

Falling to the ground.

The sky is grey

The wind is raw

And Autumn is all around.

The time of year

It's in between

Our summer and winter time.

The seasons come

The seasons go!

Sending a tingle down my spine..

Be thankful for

Our changing weather

Because that what keeps us ALL together!!!!!

A Pair of Pears!

The pear is a fruit 

that falls from the tree.

But a pair of pears

a sight too see.

Conference or Williams
red or green

This fruit is the King
or even the Queen

Five a day of fruit and veg
the health chiefs say it will give you the edge!

Enjoy your fruit
the body cares!

A wonderful sight
A "Pair of Pears"

 

 

Just let it go!

 

                ALONE, on this autumn morn.

Wind in the trees, sun in the sky.

Shadows dance on marble stones

And still we wonder why!

 

Leaves swirl, cones drop.

It's not cold,

It's autumn!

Colours flash by my eyes, so bold!

 

Heart oval, square and round.

Gifts, tokens of love.

Adorn this ground.

For you and I too see.

 

I know I ask this question why!

There is NO answer,

NO reason.

Just let it go.

And say "Goodbye"
