Got to smile through the tears
For you know, all through the years
God is with us, to allay our fears
He has saved us all...
By taking our sins to the cross
He has already suffered for our loss

Around the world in 99 days
I sent the parcel early
Aiming for Christmas time
Hoping and a praying
It would certainly arrive (on time)
Tracking said they’d got it
Then it said “no way!”
I guess they got that wrong
What more can I say?
Couldn’t find the address
Couldn’t deliver it they said
So it was sent around the world
What a blasted mess!
It’s been to Chile my darlings
It almost got to you...
Then it went flying off to France
To Italy too; given half a chance
Finally, it landed in Japan; on the way
Oh, that really made my day...
Well it got back this morning
Much battered; fragile to say the least
So I repacked every Christmas present
Added a few birthday gifts too
And now; guess what?
I’m sending it all back to you!
God willing it will make it
God willing it will fly true
All the way to Chile my darlings
All the way to you!

Living through the maze of life
There is always a beginning
There will always be an end
But stumbling through the rest
Is going to be the real test
So many little byways
So many twists and turns
Don’t forget those roundabouts
Or those crazy swinging burns
Our lives never follow straight lines
They ever seem to bend...
As we go on living we discover
To our life’s very end...

Always long and winding
Always long and winding
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
