My Sister's Birthday

Today I am so very sad that you are not here with me

Because today was your birthday so I am sad as sad can be

You looked forward to my retirement to spend more time with me
but you never got to see that day how cruel life can be

You were always very happy to go anywhere with me
and I think about this when I visit somewhere I know you would
like to be
I hear myself saying “our Anne would of enjoyed this” I know
So I have a bit of sadness that never seems to go

To lose your only sibling is as difficult as can be
Now no parents, brother sister only me you see
Life passes very quickly more so the older that you get
You do not think it possible? well wait awhile because you
obviously are not there yet

So my dearest sister if there is a place that you may be
I hope that you are listening and that you can see
I think about you often especially on days such as these
In my heart you are with me and I take you many places still you see

Is James Coming Out to Play

I heard a little tap on my front door today
I opened it and a small voice said is
James coming out to play
I tried to explain James did not live here
But he looked up at me and it did not seem clear

I tried to explain James came to stay
Because his own home was a distance away
So when he visited his Nana he would happily
like to play
But that would not be today

The little face looked blankly up at me
I could not seem to make him see
I heard his mummy call to him to come away
So I explained to her James is not here today

Eating Horsey Horsey?

Burger King, McDonalds and now Findus
Don’t they know in Britain eating horses ain’t for us
They may like to eat it in their foreign cuisine
But here in good old blighty it’s just not our scene

They tell us it’s tender and less fatty than beef
But then add horses are injected with drugs
which ain’t good to eat
In Britain horses are reared for folk to ride
Not produced to be fed to us on the side

But folks I have a simple answer to this
Oh yes it’s simple just cook your own dish
Then you will know what goes inside of you
and by the way it’s a lot cheaper too.

Facebook

How are you doing? facebook keep’s asking me
Well as I am on their page surely they can see
I am sitting in my home on my laptop
Looking to see what new things they have got

Informing, amusing comments to keep up with friends
That’s my intention to see what it sends
But I know folk who have reasons to gripe
Because someone said things that were not nice

We know who can see the posts that we send
So remember this before you post anything that
could bring a friendship to end
It’s a nice social tool if you use it the right way
It can make the difference between a nice or sad day

So the next time you click on your facebook page
Don’t do it if you are in a temper to rage
Remember to read what you write before you press send
and I am sure you will then keep every facebook friend

Valentine's Day is coming....

We are at that time of year once more
When lovers declare their love to the one they adore
Yes Valentine’s day is almost here
But of it’s history are you clear

Various legends have been written but which are true
No-one knows but the one I favour and will tell to you
Is about a roman in they year 269AD
Who refused to give up his belief in Christianity

Whilst imprisoned he befriended his jailers daughter
and before he was taken to his fate of being slaughtered
He wrote a note to this lady signing it “from your Valentine” 
I wonder what is said - surely not “will you be mine”.

So if you are sending a Valentine to the person in your life
You may need a little help to make it just right
You will find many original poems by clicking this link http://www.getwellversed.com/valentine-poems.html
Because declaring your love can be harder than you think

If I Won The Lottery

If I won the lottery what would I do ?
Would it change my life? - well I suppose it has to
Pack in your job  - that’s what most folk do
Well I retired 2 years ago so that would not be new

Buy a bigger house - what at my age I don’t think so
Making extra household chores which get harder you know
A new car, sporty, snazzy or what
To tell the truth I am happy with the little one I’ve got

Travel - go to exotic places and lie around in the sun
Do I want the hassle? not really it has ceased to be fun
Treat your family and friends - make life easier for them all
Yes that is a one I would value it would be a good call

Taking away the worry of having enough cash to do
No worry when things need done and it does not need to be done by you
Yes I like that one it takes away the stress
Having the funds to call a man when you are in a mess

It is quite obvious that the lottery should be won by the young
Then they can appreciate the spending it takes to have fun
So my conclusion is it would be very nice
To help friends and family but for me my needs are sufficed

It's All Over For Another Year

It’s all over - bit the dust
Yes Christmas all done - no more fuss
Decorations put away for another year
Yes I know its not 12th night and the room looks bare

But I am pleased to be back into routine
and I am sorry if that sounds a bit mean
But it is a lot of extra work you must admit
and harder when you are older and not so fit

Christmas is for children who love it I know
and for parents who watch their offspring’s faces glow
So when you have passed this time in your life
You should be excused from this Christmas strife

This moan I know shows off my advancing years
and the coughing bug added to my don’t cares
So will I be doing this all again in eleven months time
Probably because we follow traditions and tow the line
