Goodmorning Friend. 
Goodmorning dearest friend of mine,
I wish you a fine day,
Good health, fine friends and family,
To help you on your way.
I hope the sun will shine on you,
Removing winters chill,
And if you're feeling healthy too-
Well that would be a thrill.
And if the chores you have to do
Can pass without event,
Then all my wishes have come true
For that is my intent.
Big smiles for you at start of day,
I hope the day goes fine....
Remember, just to share the love,
If you can find the time.
A hug I send to greet you-
My dearest closest friend,
May happiness surround you,
Until the day does end. January 2012
It's Raining 
Life is a series of lessons
And many of those bring you pain
But the thing that I like to remember-
The sunshine will follow the rain.
We just can't survive without water
Although we may wish for the sun
A mixture of both is perfection
For us, when our long day is done.
Without rain, there would never be rainbows,
The flowers of spring, they would die-
We couldnt exist without raindrops
Which fall from the heavenly sky.
So I'll never complain when it's raining,
Even if, the sunshine feels the best
To have both, the sunshine and the raindrops
Is what makes life seem perfectly blessed. January 2012
An upper respiratory tract infection
I visited the doctors thinking I'd need a huge injection,
Instead it turned out to be upper respiratory tract infection.
Antibiotics and rest is the order of the day,
In order to make these symptoms very quickly go away.
I dont feel much like cooking, doing dishes, laundry too,
In fact it feels akin, to a super dose of flu.
I haven't had a cigarette since December thirty-first,
I do not miss the nicotine, to smell it makes me worse.
I know I have ahead of me a huge and nasty battle,
As breathing in, and breathing out, my chest does surely rattle.
It's affected all my plans, my future hopes and aims,
For entering this summer in our own Olympic Games ;-)
It's hard to find the energy, it simply must be said,
When all I want to do is just curl up in my bed.
So I'll keep taking the tablets, and hope they ease my sorrow..
I will resume my training...well...maybe come tomorrow...

New Years Eve - 2011 
The time for new beginnings,
A time to start anew,
The ending of another year
We all wish it adieu.
The old year is departing-
With a heavy heartfelt sigh,
So many tears and heartache
As we wish last year goodbye.
A year I will remember
Two thousand and eleven,
The very year my dearest Mum
Did enter into heaven.
And life will never be the same,
As how it was before,
To lose a mother good and true
Who I really did adore.
But now we start a new year,
We cannot dwell upon the past -
But hoping that this brand new year
Is better than the last. 31st December 2011
Christmas 2011 
A time of gentle blessings - Christmas two thousand and eleven,
A different sort of Christmas, with both Mum and Dad in heaven.
It's not a time for sadness, for sorrow or a tear,
It's just that for this Christmas time - a very different year.
There's an empty place at table, no gifts for Mum are wrapped,
But she would want us happy, she would want us to adapt.
Perhaps start new traditions, to accompany the old,
Relating tales of Christmas times which yet have been untold.
Let up a chinese lantern in memory of the past?-
Set out each year the Christmas card she wrote me as her last?
In many ways she's with me, I feel it every day,
A tender Christmas cuddle, which will not go away.
So I'll raise a glass this Christmas, and try not to be sad,
Remembering the years gone by, and the love of Mum and Dad.
December 2011. Merry Christmas All Again it is approaching,that special time of year.The time of precious greetings,And wishes of good cheer.The time for recollections-the year which has gone by,Both good times and the bad times..We remember with a sigh.Let's remember too the friendshipsWe made throughout the yearThe new ones, and the old ones,And every one - so dear.So as we think, this Christmas,And count our blessings true,Know that on my list of blessings -this year, will feature YOU.December 2011

Be Gentle
Be gentle with this heart of mine
You hold within your hand,
You've held it now forever
But it's as fragile as the sand-
Which kisses gentle oceans
As they lap upon the shore,
Hold tightly and you'll break it
So be tender - I implore.

I Love Writing Poetry.
I love writing poetry, I do it all the time,
I like to find the perfect verse, and then to make it rhyme.
Enjoying searching out new words, relating to my day,
Arranging them in artful form, like a grand floral display.
The things I see from day to day, I like to put to verse,
Like a sojourn through a lifetime, which I somehow must traverse.
I love to sprinkle poetry on day to day events,
All filed within my tiny mind, in separate sweet segments.
I like to capture moments, and get them down in rhyme,
It gives my days a meaning, and makes me feel sublime.
So do not mock this poet, she really means no harm,
And many things she writes of, are filled with grace and charm.
So sit back and enjoy the words she may just send to you,
As she pauses for reflection, to wish you all adieu. January 2012
Jack
I am very impatient to meet you,
Sweet little grandson of mine,
Every hour just feels like a month now
So slow is the passage of time.
If you are anything much like your sister
I know you will turn out so grand
I can hardly wait for a cuddle
Or holding your wee little hand.
Seems your Nanny has waited forever
For a Grandson as perfect as you,
Your Mummy and Daddy are clever
To make all my wishes come true.
Come this April we'll show how we love you
There wont be a need to pull back,
With our arms eternally open-
To welcome you, dear little Jack.

Perfection
Isn't today just perfect?
Perfect in every way -
From the breeze which rustles through branches,
And the vision of movement in sway.
Isn't the morning perfection?
The dew on the grass as I stroll -
The song of the bird as it swoops on the wing,
An injection of life to my soul.
Isn't our life just so perfect?
Perfect in every way -
Gathering up all our mem'ries,
At the ending of every new day. January 2012
Erin
With eyes that sparkle in wonder,
And a smile that can light up the night,
Your warmth can make winter much warmer,
Your laughter makes everything bright.
To listen to you is enchanting,
Just playing with you is such fun -
Of all the Grandaughters you could have been,
I am delighted that you were the one.
You sprinkle my life with completeness,
Bring laughter and love to our lives -
Just think how we'll be - come next April,
When your new little brother arrives.

My New Toothbrush 
I have a new - fangled toothbrush,
It's a wizzardry of science,
It's the envy of the neighbourhood..
The most magical appliance.
It tells me if I brush too hard,
Or even for too long,
It tells me if I get it right
Or sometimes get it wrong.
With flashing lights and buzzing sounds
It could be quite alarming....
But when I'm done, as all can see-
The smile I have is charming!
