This dream was like a story book
To read the pages
Peep inside and look
In a little red house
Far inside the woods
Lived the fairy Queen
She wore a dress
One half red
The other half green
A handsome Prince by her side
Her soldier

He guards his bride
Fairies and elves all reside
Inside a giant mushroom they hide
A turtle dove
To pledge there love

Now go to bed and dream this book
Open the page and have a look

The log Cabin
It was quite late in the evening when I arrived at the log cabin. The sun was just going down and a blanket of black clouds was floating by displaying cracks of orange colour between them. I hauled my fishing tackle from the car into the cabin. It was still summer time and in no need for a fire. I took a rug from the cupboard, and spread it over the settee in case it turned chilly.
I walked down the wooden deck leading to the water, to see the sun set and feel the warm breeze on my face. The reflection of the fir trees, the weeping willow all looked pretty, on the water. It was just like a looking glass. I rolled my trousers to my knees and removed my socks and shoes. I sat on the edge of the decking and dangled my feet in the water. I was at peace with myself, and looking at my reflection in the water, I looked like Huckleberry Fin. I was happy and I soaked up the atmosphere of the evening
23
Purple Pansies
My yellow and purple pansies how well you have grown summers gone
in my tubs and still your blooms are shown
on a winter’s day when all the other plants have gone your beauty excels far beyond
24
Sacred Heart
Oh, Lord your heart
Burns with love
Your arms open out to me each day
And in return I will pray
For peace to return in the world today.
Oh, sacred Heart Your hearts on fire
The love you give and peace you desire but still we complain and then we maim
And go to war once again.
Oh, sacred Heart I pray each day
That our love for you will never stray
Blue Sunset
In my mind, I can see
A place where
I'm longing to be
To see the sunset rise
And sit beneath the palm tree
To see them gently blow
To feel the warm breeze on my face
This place I'm longing to go
And see its colours blaze
On the water its beauty show





26
Kindle My Love
Kindle my love
The fire has gone
Ignite the flame that once kept Me warm.
Stir the excitement
Waken the thrill Stimulate your passion because I love you still
27
Christmas
Children love Christmas day
Happy Christmas you will hear them say
Remember the child that was born
In a stable in Bethlehem and a bright star shone
Saviour sent from God on a cold and winter's morn
To save the world from the devil's scorn
Merry Christmas it's time to rejoice
And Christmas eve all the children will pray
Santa will bring toys on Christmas day 
Rocky Coast
With cliffs, so high
In shades of night
A purple sky
All alone I wander by
I hear the gulls
Their distant cry
From the shore below
Across the sea where gentle waves flow.
In shades of night and purple glow.



28
When entwined the love we make so passionate Intimacy is my desire your warmth and tenderness with every touch sets my body on fire
the frenzy madness engaged in sweet
Ecstasy


29
The Bench Beneath the Tree
Can we go and sit?
On the bench beneath our tree the time is right
On this fine summers night.
We can take bottle of wine and talk about old times
We can fill two glasses
And toast to you and me
Come and sit beneath our tree
And take a trip down memory lane
Talk about our memories
When I was a girl and you a boy and life was full of joy. 
30
New Year
New Year we celebrate with a glass of wine
Ending the old year when the town clock chimes
Welcome let the party begin
Your friends are all gathered round to celebrate
Endless resolutions that we make
And their all right for a little while and then we break
Remember the old year that has gone out and the new one begins

31
Nowhere
Down and down
The road to nowhere
But when I hit
Rock bottom
On this rocky road
There is one road left
And that is up and up
And climb above
The rocky road
And go somewhere.











32
A summer’s day
A country road
You and I would meet
We wandered through
The avenue of trees
And listened to
A slight rustle
From the leaves
Of a gentle breeze
From the wind that blows








33
Travel
I feel like boarding a train
And travel around
Destiny to anywhere
I will meet exotic people
Some of them just plain
We will have interesting conversations
But most of all
I will be free just to be me. 
34
My Triumph Motor Bike
I once had a Triumph motor bike
In my leathers, I was quite a sight
The wind in my hair
No helmet would I wear
Full throttle out
I rode up and down
The country and round about
Burning rubber
Until my engine burnt out






35
We Quarrel

We quarrel
At once we
Regret
We are too stubborn to forget
We rake up things that happened in the past
Sending our
friendship
Downhill fast

When the day’s end.
I pray with my eyes shut tight
And ask my Lord
To put things right






36
On a Summers Day
On a summers day
A country road
You and I would meet
We wandered through
The avenue of trees
And listened to
Gentle rustle
Of the leaves
You and I together
Down the road
Hand in hand
In love
With eyes that shine
And two hear beat
In perfect rhyme.  
37
Calm after the Storm
We had a ragging row last night
It was such a terrible fight
And we're both too stubborn
To put things right
But come evening and on to night
Before we shut our eyes real tight
We must make up
To be calm after the storm
Cuddle up and keep each other warm
38
Magnify your profile
Always looking grand
Grand gestures you make when you converse
Noble in your mannerisms
Imposing wherever you can find an audience
From every angle, you look gorgeous
Careful with your clothes and dress smartly
Elegant when you glide across the dance floor
Never forgetting your manners
To find this gorgeous man will someone help me to look?












39
Christmas has come and gone
and
New Year has just adorned
It's
time to move on
New
seasons will begin is
spring
just around the corner.
Clear your dead flower borders.
Plant life will soon begin and
Blossoms will flow from
trees like snow flakes
And birds will sing
a
new season will adorn
SPRING








40
Travel Around
I feel like boarding a train
And travel around
Destiny to anywhere
I will meet exotic people
Some of them just plain
We will have interesting conversations
But most of all
I will be free just to be me.



41
My Maker
My God you are my maker
All that I am I owe to you
King of all other beings
Every script I write you are the author of my inspiration
Remembering what you gave to the world
Offering my love in return
For peace, I will pray
My adoration and devotion I kneel to thee.










42
My Love for You
A mountain
I will climb
To prove my love to you
My feelings for you
Will never stop
From the highest tree
Branch to branch
I will hop






43

New Year
New Year’s Day
Has just adorned
And a pleasant morn
I've had a few maybe 1 2 3
But there are no pink elephants
That I can see
My friends have just left






44
Valentine
We have been together many years
Been through hard times floods of tears
Happy and sad times

We faced together

Now in our golden Years
Retirement fun and leisure Forever you're my valentine

















Sunrise
In the morning
When we are still in bed
On the sea
A golden colour you spread
Many people come to see
This wondrous sight
You display
At daybreak of their day





47
What will this year bring?
It's time to reflect
What will this year bring Will it bring me respect?
Or will it reject
I can't sit and worry all day here
I think it's time to have another beer
So, my friends I wish you good cheer and a very happy new year.



48
A Breath of spring
It's time
To open your eyes
And look around you
The trees are budding
There are wonderful things
Happening on the ground
There's little shoots taking root
And the daffodils are on show
Birds are singing at dawn
There's fragrance have adorned Spring has just been born.




49
Ask and You Will Receive
Ask and you will receive
Said the lord
When we are worried and in stress
To our faith in God we turn
a miracle we expect
Other times
Our faith in God we tend to neglect.






50

Life Flashes
Life has its ups and down
Sometimes it lets you down
Flashes warnings
And pleasure mornings
Flashes of the sun
Up or down
Will you laugh?
Or will you frown
Flashes of life
You have no say
Is it pleasure or misery?








51
Travelling
I feel like boarding a train
And travel around
Destiny to anywhere
I will meet exotic people
Some of them just plain
We will have interesting conversations
But most of all
I will be free just to be me.



55
Hogmanay
Up in bonny Scotland
We are about celebrate
A most important holiday
It will be a very special event.
Every nook and cranny will have cleaned
The furniture will have a special gleam
On the eve of the day
We call it Hogmanay







MOTHER
My Mother wrapped me
In a blanket soft and warm
When I was first born and she laid me
To suckle on her breast
Kept me nicely dressed
Mother you did your best
The sickness and turmoil in your head
Lying in a hospital bed
Your strength you could not keep
With
Pain and worry so deep
To where her child will sleep
When the light goes out for keeps
All these things I think today
And I have turned out OK
I love you with every breath I take Remembering you every day.












54
Christmas
It's that time again
We rush around
And never stop
Long queues
We join in the shops
Presents for the children
On Christmas day
Unwrapping and paper everywhere
Cooking and preparing
The turkey spread
But before we eat
Please bow your head
It's time to pray
And remember why we
Celebrate Christmas day.






55
Help Me Bare My Cross
Dear God, help to carry my cross
Whenever I'm down give me strength
To shoulder my problems like you
When I'm sick and there's no hope
Help me to be strong and soldier on
And when I awake help me to serve you
With every breath, I take Until you call me to come home
Help me to bear my cross wherever I roam.





56
It’s Not Your Fault
Always pleading you're innocent
Must be someone else to blame Ending with your character unblemished
Leaving the wrong
for someone else to put right.
Endless pleading of your not guilty
Someone else must accept the consequences
Some other person started the fight



























57
The Traveller
The old man he travels
All around the city he goes
He sits in the park to rest
The sun on his face
Before traveling at a steady pace
His trusty dog by his side
Tramping around along the road
An old bus shelter is his humble abode
They have tramped about shared peoples scorn and lie side by side keeping each other warm. 58

My Expensive Umbrella
I looked in a shop window today
Bright rain wear is on display
It has rain coats and wellingtons
With matching hats of yellow and blue One product stood out from the rest an umbrella on display is best.
It's bright and colourful from the rest
It had bands of yellow, red, and blue
It is nice but expensive to
Your price tag is too high for me to own you
But temptation has been put in my way
So, in I went and bought you today
And now I'm left with no pay







59
Ask and You Will Receive
Ask and you will receive
Said the lord when we are worried and in stress
to our faith in God we turn
a miracle we expect
other times
our faith in God we tend to neglect 
60
Dreams
When I go to my bed
I have haunted dreams
Inside my head
Horrible faces from the dead
My eyes I close real tight
And pray to God to hear my plight to come to me in the night
And banish the faces from my sight. 
61
The lonesome traveller
Walks many a town
In all kinds of weather, He travels around
His feet and the road meet
As he tramps the street
Taking shelter where found
He sleeps on the ground
On a park bench he'll ponder
With food wrapped in foil
Before the road takes him yonder
To labour and toil
He travels around
From morning till late
On and on
Till he meets heaven's gate


62
Help Me Bear My Cross
Dear God, help to carry my cross
Whenever I'm down give me strength
To shoulder my problems like you
When I'm sick and there's no hope
Help me to be strong and soldier on
And when I awake help me to serve you
With every breath, I take

Until you call me to come home
Help to bear my cross wherever I roam.







When I was a child I would roam, and run wild
No worries to fret about
Time to run play scream and shout
Ramble over fields and dales
Fishing nets and water pails 
64
The Evening Light
I return to the shore
In the evening light
When the sun goes down

And I admire
A splash of red explodes
All through the sky

A soothing




Moment of calm and piece




65
Winter is here
In your boots, out in the snow
Nothing to stop you having fun
Tree tops are sparkly and white
Everything looking bright
Remember to wrap up warm
Dangerous for the elderly
And it's too cold for them to go outside
Your help will make them smile
Some hot drink will keep them in the pink 
66
Travelling
Puff
train
Where are you bound?
Your wheels go around
And round
You leave
Smokey trail
Puff puff puff
All along the rail
And your wheels
Go round and round
They hammer on the rails
Chicago chic ado chic ado 
67
Oh, beautiful tree
On this fine spring morning
Tall and mighty you stand
When spring is dawning
Your blossoms and colour on show
In the gentle breeze
In winds that blow
Your delicate petals flow around
Like snowflakes they fall to the ground.
And bright green leaves in place will spring
And once again the birds on your tree will sing. 68
Light is Your Touch
The sweet light touch of your embrace
I love the soft smile upon your face
We have been together for many years
There have been good times and bad
And sometimes sad
But our love is strong
Nobody can compare our special bond
It will go on and on and on

Easter day
Come out and pray
On this bright fine morning
The Son of God has risen
A beautiful gift he has given
Your sins have been ridden

At a price, he did pay
Everyone enjoy your Easter season

My Teddy Bears
Me and my teddy bear
We travel together everywhere
To see the cow
That jumped over the moon
And had a laugh with dish and the spoon
And followed the pied Piper
But not very far
And had a ride in Toddy’s red car
Now it's time to close my story book Tomorrow me and my Teddy Will have another look.
Nature’s Green
A beautiful spot I have ever seen
Is nature's ever green
Trees and shrubs planted from the road near by
On the banks and towering high
The conifers and fir trees
Sway gently in the breeze
Dotted between blue skies are clouds
On high
To create a misty scene
On the paths below
Where people go and rivers flow
Are grasses green and wild flower’s grow

Who Walks who
I had a pet dog
His name was Rex
All white
And very Good looking
Through the door
He would escape
Sometime during the day Other times very late
I have climbed over fences
To bring him back
But my little Rex
He is very smart
And in my pyjamas
I looked a right tart
I bribed him with treats
And cookies too
But my little Rex
Says I’m having fun with you








Granny and Me by the Sea
A day by the sea
There was my Granny, and me
A little yellow hut
Some sticky buns
And a cup of tea
Me on the sand
With my bucket and spade
And Granny, she sat in the shade
Oh, how I would like to be
As it was by the sea
In the little yellow hut
By the sea
With my granny and me
Daisy Chains
When I was a child
I would wander
Over fields and meadows near my home
Amongst the wild grass and flowers

I would roam
Oh, how the hours would pass
Making buttercups and daisy chains
All dressed up to visit the past
To those meadows and long grass
In place are buildings tall and drab
Live children vast
Where the wildflowers no longer grow and they have nowhere else to go.
When I was a child I would roam, and run wild
No worries to fret about
Time to run play scream and shout
Ramble over fields and dales
Fishing nets and water pails 
Nature’s evergreen
Beautiful spot I have ever seen Is nature's evergreen
Trees and shrubs planted from the road near by
On the banks and towering high
The conifers and fir trees
Sway gently in the breeze
Dotted between blue skies are clouds on high to create a misty scene
On the paths below Where people go and rivers flow
Are grasses greens where wild flowers grow? 

Pavement Artist
On the pavement, he sits with chalks in his hand
He draws and colours Pictures so grand.
Churches, ships,
And even an alligator Money in a pot
He will spend it later.
Down comes the rain
From his drawings
He will refrain
Now the pavement is empty
And all clean again

79
Lost
Huddled on a blanket
In an old shop door
*
His eyes have a look of despair
And he knows he is going nowhere
His life is going downhill fast
With his cup in his hand
Begging for a fix
Another wrap will do the trick
And there he sits on the floor
Until his eyes will open no more
