Always a blessing to arrive
This long journey called life
Through pain, suffering we strive...

Happy 60th Ian McKinnon
I wrote this just a few short years ago...
Happy 60th birthday Ian McKinnon
The years have passed
Like silent shadows
Yet still, our eyes do shine
Hands clasped in friendship
Yours and mine...

It’s a sad time at Christmas
It’s a sad time at Christmas
When your darlings have gone
New Year feels no better
As you start the new year alone
Though memories do linger
There is no physical touch
Yes; the pain remains inside you
It does not ever go away
Though it may ease a little; true
You must face another day...
New Year is a new beginning
Come what may; seize the day!

In memory of Roza (Szekeres) Szabo
Three years ago today you went away
Three years ago you had to leave us
Quietly you slipped away my love
I’d like to think; up to heaven up above
In my memories, you are still here with me
That is as it will ever be; you are a part of us
Though I miss you so; I know you had to go...
I asked the carnations to bloom for you
Seeing they were ever your favourites
It is wonderful to see; one listened to me
There is one very pretty pink carnation
There among the Stocks; you loved their scent
They still bloom for you too; ah heaven sent!
Whenever I smell them; I think of you too
They cheer me up when I am feeling blue...
Missing you my darling mum
Rest In Peace

Children are sensitive souls
He’s such a sensitive little soul
Knew I needed; him to hold
Knew exactly what was needed
Felt much better; succeeded
In gaining some happiness
Found some inner quietness...
He’s so much older than his years
Could he sense my hidden tears?
What was it he could hear, sense?
Did he truly understand; so intense?
So deep a cry from within my soul?
Something mysterious had him involved
Called me “Nana”; I said I wouldn’t mind
Thought that would be so very kind...
Ah yes it is true; as I’m telling you
Animals and little children come through
They understand; sense your feelings too
Stay close; give comfort; when its due...

For Kaiden
Nana’s Christmas tears
Her tears are overflowing
From her heart do they spring
As the Christmas season approaches
And she misses everything...
Her dear little grandchildren
So far away from home
Be it a million miles away
Or just up the dusty road...
Her arms; achingly empty
Though her heart is so very full
Having so much love yet to give
But today her eyes are almost full...
She misses their happy laughter
Is missing so many milestones
Their little arms around her neck
Feeling this lack within her bones...
There is no festive celebration
Here within these quiet walls
For without their precious laughter
Why bother to deck the halls...
Only memories do linger
Of times of Christmas past
Her thoughts again turn inward
Tears, pricking her eyelids; flowing fast...
For Violeta Orlandini, Martha Wilson, grandma Roza Szekeres, grandma Margit Juliana Szabo, Lyn Scott, and many others...

So this is Christmas
“So this is Christmas
What have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun”
So much pain and suffering
As bushfires run amok
People struggling with illness
Watching their ticking clocks
Death and destruction
Crime and disrespect
Storms and catastrophes
Everywhere you look
Please take care to drive safely
Don’t cause any more strife
There’s too much pain already
Remember; we’re only given one life...
