Friendships

Friendships -

Friendships are from heaven above,
They are full of love.
They take and give to those most dear,
And bring to life, a joyful cheer.
For it's now a time to celebrate,
Lift up your hands and celebrate,
To God who loves us and gives us joy,
And brings us doves from above.

My Invisible Reality

My Invisible…….(Parkinsons causes hallucinations. Margo had two days of them before writing this)

Sand on the beach with pebbles,

Hey you lend a hand!

Plus some way you see,

I went and banged my knee,

They laughed at me! With my bruised knee!

Now we’ll see who’s up the tree!

The spider and the bee,

Its long legs came to me,

And swept me off the tree,

They were not friendly,

But I did not stay long to see,

I knew they were trouble on my corn.

Seeds of 'morrow.

New Life

and

Seeds of ‘morrow.

              

A tiny seed falls softly in the early morning mist…………..

In God’s creation under the sky,

All are given a time to die.

Some will know the pain and sorrow,

For them there will be no tomorrow.

Some will discover the joy of living,

And find new lasting love in giving,

But to be lifted high, like the seed,

First we must fade and die.

Unknown, unseen a colourful mass.

Opens ready to enfold this helpless un-born.

This tiny seed that begins to soak in the sun’s warmth and breathe…………New Life!

Now it can break free! No longer entangled in deadly weed.

It’s roots now safe  at last.

Firmly embedded in God’s rich soil.

In this child; “in need”. I longed to know?

Or is it only a dream?

“Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh”,

This perfect creation, this delicate new-born.

I now treasure deep within.

This precious gift of love freely given,

A life to cherish, to have and to hold,

Not given in terror, or fear, or infection of old.

This is surely no dream, this child I enfold.

It is then that we shall know the truth,

That only God’s peace can release,

Taking away all suffering and pain,

Only His love can redeem and fill us with joy,

Then we will breathe and be set free!

No more fear or pain or sorrow,

Only love, joy and peace,

Will light the way……….and the ‘morrow.

My burdens to heavy to combat this fight,

Please let me breathe and set me free,

Free now and forever from dreaded disease,

That love and joy,

Can set me free, release me and give me,

Everlasting Peace!

The Hoist!

The Hoist

The " loist" is my friend, so I’m told.

So I’ll be big and bold,

And tell you a few tales, I tell of the old.

I’m not a tale tell as you will see,

And often I sit upon his knee,

But Charlie’s bad at times you see

And his knee is hard and not comfy,

But when Charlie’s good I call him Charles,

Not Prince Charles as he would like,

I tell him he is only a Prince at night,

And then keep out of my sight,

So little brother it’s plain to see,

You will never be the Monarch on my knee!

But when you play the hoist, you must be the best for me……I think I see!

My Tablet!

My Tablet

Here’s your tablet

To wallow and to swallow,

That is delicious!

OW!

Ow!

Ow!

You’re treading on my toe,

Oh, Oh, Oh, No!

Where’s the rhyme? You let it go!

Now we’ll see all those busies in the bees,

Chase you up into those trees.

Get away from the garden and the fleas,

Bees don’t do all the work!

The others do! You quirk.
