Buried Treasure

Had a dig the other week
Found some buried treasure!
Santiago, Zecarias and I
Were having a little walk outside
Found some things among the grass
Bright red Lego pot and a couple of horses!
Not such exciting stuff you might say
But to me it was buried treasure!
Just over 18 months ago
We had a massive flood
Though we lost a lot of stuff
We were alive and so were our pets
But what was lost still remains; in my memories!
All those precious toys I'd thought to save
For my grandchildren!
All those memories are here inside my head
Pictures of when my kids were young
Building Lego houses
These things do remain; fleeting; precious
Of years gone by; playing; laughing!

Zecarias

Zecarias my little grandson! I love you!
I can't imagine  not having you around!
You are my little boy; the apple of my eye!
(Well the second apple of my eye)
You are so full of life!
You make me grin!
I love the things you say and do!
You just have such a beautiful way with you!
You bring such joy to all you meet!
You are my sunshine during the rain!
Can't wait to see you and hug you again!

Home is where the heart is

Home is where the heart is
That is where the start is
The journey is your life!
Every day is new love
Every trip is true love
Every way you show love
Is what you get back love!
I know its not all easy
Why should you be teased love?
It's so tantalising
When you're fantasising
What will happen; now; to me?
I know God's love is eternal
The devil's one's infernal
Your heart will be broken
Maybe once or twice love
Doesn't mean you're broken
Just that love's a token
Worn upon your sleeve!

Dew Drops

Dew drops on a frosty morning
As the sun rises above the horizon
tendrils of steam rise skyward from the earth
Myriad droplets bedeck the grassy stems
All sparkling in the frosty air
The world comes alive once again
To honour the Lord; who made us all!

Winter says to Spring

Winter says to Spring:
Not letting you have it so easy yet!
I still have a few weeks to freeze
Every ones asses; and I will!
Storms and rain are my domain!
Just watch me send my cold and pain!
I rule here; be aware; it's still my turn!
To bluster and blow; don't you know?
Flowers may have blossomed and spread!
But I can make your nose red!
Hear me roar and flee from me!
Spring may be near at hand; 
But I still rule this land!

Teenage Chrysalis

How do you break out of a lifetime of fear?
How do you accept and love yourself; as you are?
How do you believe in yourself; how do you grow?
How do you look in the mirror; and like what you see?
I don't really know; cos I never did for me!
How do you go on living when you are afraid?
How do keep on moving when its all a charade?
How do you smile; keep on living; trying to hide your tears?
How do you finally ask God for help; accept His peace?
I don't really know; cos It's only now I truly see!
