30/07/2024 - The forest in my mind

Tuesday 30th July 2024

I’m wandering through the forest 

The forest in my mind

Pushing back strong branches

To see what I may find

I delve a little deeper and move the leaves aside

Suddenly I find my pen on paper glides……

29/07/24 - Grow old gracefully

Monday 29th July 2024

Grow old with grace and decorum 

For it is a privilege denied to some

Accept and love who you are

A wrinkle is your battle scar 

Accept that we age and it is a gift 

You don’t need the tucks or a face lift

Grow old with passion and flair

There’s nothing wrong with self care

But we must appreciate every year we live 

It’s makes you older, wiser and with so much to give

24/07/2024 - Flow Joe Flow 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

24/07/2024 Wednesday 

Sitting looking at a blank page 

Unable to get my brain to engage

Just one word, that’s all I need 

To start a creative juices feed 

But nothing is there 

The cupboard is bare

Some days it just flows

And that is all about it Joe 😂😂😂

22-07-2024 - Regrets - I have a few….

Don’t live a life full of regret

Creating memories doesn’t mean living in debt

Seize the day, the moment, the hour!

Your life is within your own power

Don’t look back and think if only 

For one day you may be old and lonely

17/07/2024 - Never-ending Life….

Wednesday 17th July 2024

If you could pop a pill that gave you eternal life

Would you take that offer and live forever more

It wouldn’t guarantee a life without any strife

But it would guarantee you won’t knock on deaths door

Would you want to live forever in an ever changing world

Getting up each day and juggling daily tasks

Would you want to live life slow or in a supersonic whirl 

A life never ending dividing up into different acts

Do you think you’d become wiser and learn the perfect ways

As time provided never ending rehearsals of what not to do

Would you no longer appreciate the minutes, hours or days 

Would eternal life influence your personal view 

I’d hate to live forever and just go on and on 

As much as I love life and feeling I belong

If I’ve got my health, family and my home

I will appreciate my time for however long!

14/07/2024 - Perfect Feathers

Sunday 14th July 2024

I saw a feather on the path and stopped to pick it up

I held it between my fingers, as my face just lit up

I felt sure it was a message sent from up above 

Cascading gentle downwards filled with hope and love

I twirled it round and round wondering what it meant

I pondered if this strand of softness was truly heaven sent 

I held it up above my head and it slowly danced to earth 

Maybe it was just a reminder to really know your worth 

So if you see a feather take a moment to reflect 

It’s a reminder that you, like a feather, are perfect

08/07/2024 - April Showers?

Monday 8th July

Drip drip drip little April showers 

Falling in July, watering the flowers 

Drip drip drip little summer showers 

We’ve not seen the sun in hours 🙈😂

05/07/2024 - Words Live On

Friday 5th July 2024

When I’m gone and I can no longer speak

My words will live on

Set down on a page

Forever and a day 

Never under estimate the power of the written word

Laid down in a moment 

There for a lifetime

And beyond…… maybe

02-07-2024 - Lady Lou has new shoes…..

Tuesday 2 July 2024

My name is Lucy Lou 

And today ….. I got new shoes

They fit me like a glove

It really was instant love

A rich, deep, dark brown 

In contrast to my white crown 

My owner simply loves them 

Just like a precious gem

She raised her hands in the air

With a slight look of despair

She says that I’m causing quite a stink

In my new muds shoes I give her a wink

The look of love is in her eyes

She’s saying my name - while she cries 😂
