It is there for us to go,

A place where love is found,

Where acrimony is never there.

We all help each other

With caring and beauty.

A place where all are welcome

And disagreements don’t exist,

All work together,

And work with each other.

So put all your troubles away,

Leave them all behind you

And join me in that wonderful place,

That place we all wish for.

So come with me

To the Island of Dreams.

In our lives we must be blessed,

We can breathe every moment,

Walk down the street with friends

While talking to them with humour.

We can see where we are going,

Clean water is there for us

And food is always on the table.

We can sleep without worries

And each morning wake into the new day.

We are blessed with fine lives.

So always be thankful

As there are those who are not,

Not blessed with what we have.

As I sit here,

I look at this blank page

And just start to write.

I wonder what it will be today?

Words of love maybe;

That love of my wife,

Of my family,

And my friends.

Maybe it will be of music

That always runs through my life.

May the glory of nature,

The enjoyment of my time

Walking beside My River,

Looking at Natures wondrous art

And hearing her accompanying symphonies.

Whatever I write

It will be of joy, happiness

And of course love,

So let me begin………

Another day on the field

Trying to knock a ball through a hoop,

But on this day it was not important,

Not important to me

As I was surrounded by beauty,

The beauty of Nature surrounded me.

The woodlands full of green

As they sloped up the hills,

The horizon going up and down,

Not a building in sight

As the forests soared around,

Their glory covering the land.

I would look up,

Look up to the bright blue sky,

So clear and alluring

With the occasional white cloud

Floating gently in the blue.

Best of all was she was there,

My lover was there

And between matches

We would sit close together

And share our love with the glory,

The glory of Nature.

So, there we were,

Me, Mary and Nature

Joining in the wonder,

The wonder of our life,

Our life together.

The Golden Girl walks as though gliding on ice,

In a world of her own , where no  others intrude

On the thoughts of her loves, that have long flown past.

She smiles serenely, at a moment remembered,

In a time, almost forgotten.

Others just watch the gentle sway of her hips

As she smoothly goes past them, ignoring their stares.

She’s deep in her thoughts, for those whom she cares,

Only seen by the light formed by her blue shining eyes,

Of a time, just recalled.

The swing of her long blonde hair moves in time

With the gentle glide of her steps, that transport her,

Away from your view, into her past, that only she

Can unlock, with a key to a box recently  found,

To a time, thought lost.

We have many things in our life,

Some are good,

Some are not so good

But some are important.

Honesty must be there,

If we are not honest to others,

Or to yourself

Mistrust will be all around us.

The same is with truth,

If we tell the truth

We will not need to remember,

Remember the lies.

Respect must be there

Even if others disagree with us

Our respect for them must show

So that we can move on,

Move on in our life.

Finally the most important thing,

Love must come above all

As without love of our life

We will get nowhere

And sink into a lonely place

Where others ignore us.

I believe,

I believe in life.

Having been on this world

For so many years

I have learned,

And I believe

Life has two parts.

And the second part is better,

Better than the first half.

In that first half we learn,

We find out how life works,

It gives us experience,

Experience to create a good life.

The second half is our reward,

As that time is for us to enjoy,

To enjoy life,

And that is where I am.

I am in the enjoyment,

The enjoyment of life.

I believe and now know,

That life is wonderful.

Every day is different!

People come into your life

And bring different things to you,

Some good and some not so good,

But if at the end of the day

You can lie down knowing,

Knowing in your heart

That you made somebodies day better,

Even just a little bit better,

You know that you have had a good day.

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.
