My Neighbour


My neighbour is so precious, so suave and dignified,
 The one who’s always there for me, who shows a caring side,
She’s fun and full of laughter, a joy to be around,
I really am quite blessed, that such a girl I’ve found

         She ‘perks’ me up when weary, and lifts me high, when sad,
               To me, she’s like a daughter,  the one I never had.
                 She studied hard at college and gained her E.C.E.
          Preschoolers was her forte, performed her work with glee.

                  
                  A quarter of a century, she’s worked at ‘Little lamb’
 With all those impish rascals, she still remained quite calm,
But now she is retiring, with time for her and Bri’.
And ANYONE who needs her, to help you, she will try.

   Though she’ll remain quite busy, with bake sales, choir and church,
 If someone needs her service, she’ll not leave them in the lurch.
Now this is just to thank you, for ALL you know, agree,
You’ve been a treasured neighbour, beloved ‘angel’ to me.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

I love you dad.

    I told my dad, while on his bed, assuming he did sleep, In hospital, [ he'd not come home ] with tears my eyes did weep, “I love you dad” Then hugged him tight, while feebly he replied “I.............love...............you................too..............son” THAT’S the thing I cherish, since he died. With forty years age difference, while young, we were not close. He wasn't very tactile and nor was he verbose, But as we aged, did closer grow, in ways he’d show his love, We’ll meet again, don’t know the ‘when’, – the ‘where’? – in Heaven above. I then went out to my car after this and bawled my eyes out at having had this special moment.
