There are many things that happen in life,
As you go through it some can change.
Things can be changed and you move on.
Sometimes things we do make us laugh,
Then there are times we do wrong,
Often there are things we cannot alter.
So in our life we should do three things,
Laugh when you can,
Apologise when you should,
And let go of things you cannot change.
Respect has always been in my life,
Been in my life all the time.
I try to show respect to all
But it seems to be disappearing,
Disappearing from others,
And even with me I find it harder.
As I was always taught,
And always have respected my elders,
But I am finding that at my age
It is getting harder,
Harder and harder
To find an elder,
To find an elder older than me.
In life you do many things,
Many you do for yourself
To give yourself a better life.
Many you do for others
To help them in their world,
But in the end you must remember,
The things you do for yourself
Will be gone when you are.
But those that you do for others
Will remain,
Remain in their lives
And be your legacy to them.
I look from the balcony
And there before me is the sea,
A glorious sight to see,
The mysteries of its wonder
Enthralling me,
As the gentle waves come towards me
Carrying new messages to my heart.
My lover with me
In our glorious place,
That has become our haven,
Our haven of absolute love.
I look out further,
As far as my eyes will see,
And I see eternity
Waiting for my lover and I
As we journey towards it,
Together in our such deep love.
I sit in my garden,
The day is turning to night,
A glass of Laphroaig beside me.
I sit and listen,
Listen to Nature’s Symphony
As the birds call out,
Call out goodnight to me.
A sip of scotch in my mouth
Deserved at the end of this day,
This day I my life
Where all is well.
And I sit here relaxing
And thinking of the beauty,
The beauty in my life.
My lover with me forever,
Music in my life forever
And the glory I find,
The glory I find in Nature.
So as the darkness creeps,
Creeps into the day,
I know I am a lucky man,
Lucky to live my long life
And be able to appreciate,
Appreciate the wonder of life,
The wonder of my life.
Well the day came,
The first match of the season
For our new club,
Our first match ever.
We arrived at the croquet club,
We were warned about the car park being closed
And would need to park in a Garden Centre,
It was only three hundred yards away.
What we weren’t told
Was that their yards seemed to be in triplicate!
Across a busy road through the woods,
Along a very long path of wood chippings
Until at last we came to a locked gate.
The gate was opened for us
And we reached the Croquet Club
And were greeted with such joy.
We lay down in the hot sunshine
Until we had recovered from the trek,
And then we played the games.
We had a wonderful time playing them
And enjoyed their company all day.
We did not win the match
But only lost eleven to nine,
But a great day was had by all.
We then trekked back to our cars,
“Only three hundred yards!”
The Guys came on the stage,
The Dolls were there,
They got to together,
The music started
And they danced,
Danced and sang the night away.
Love was in the air
That wandered up and down,
But all was well,
As their prayers were answered.
And Sky married Sarah,
And Nathan married Adelaide.
The ups and downs of romance
Shone from the stage,
And the singing, dancing and music
Took us to the wonder,
The wonder of this musical.
And we left with a smile,
A smile on our face,
And our love in our hearts.
That love for each other,
That was so strong within us.
Music has been with me all my life,
So many different kinds that I enjoy
But the one thing all music brings,
Brings to me is the emotions.
So many different emotions
Flow through my heart
As music plays through my life.
Music is just part of me,
And to my heart and mind
Music is what feelings sound like.
We are born into this world
Our life sitting in front of us.
We grow in body and wisdom
Learning all the time,
Becoming different with our new life,
That new life we have every day.
The life we have is beautiful
And in the beautiful life
We will never reach an age,
An age where there is nothing left,
Nothing left to learn, to see or to be.
Life is so magical,
Enjoy every moment of your life.
Why do some films do this to me,
They fill me with emotion
And tears stream from my eyes.
Some I cannot watch again
As the tears flood from the start
As know what is coming.
But there are some I keep watching
As they seem so special,
And one in particular means so much.
I did not watch it at first,
It came out so long ago,
But it was only a few years ago
That I watched it
And was moved by its glory.
So now ‘Cinema Paradiso” is with me,
It has found a little corner in my heart
Where I plan to keep it forever.
