Keep things in proportion

Have realistic dreams

For greed and over confidence

Can ruin the smartest schemes

Think the unthinkable

Break free from those chains

Try something different

Think of the gains

 

Burst your bubble

In a positive way

Don’t let inhibitions

Get in your way

 

Keep your head up

 Forge ahead with your plan

You’re just as good

As your fellow man

 

Yes, you’ll need luck

And it’s there to be had

So stick to your mission

In the end, you’ll be glad.

 

 

.          

 

People are people

The whole world over.

The poor they long for,

A four leafed clover.

 

The rich are still searching,

For they know now,

That happiness and health,

Can’t be bought anyhow.

 

 

                                           

 

Mistakes can happen when we’re feeling dead beat

And we’ve spent all day long  just stood on our feet.

 

Mistakes can happen when our mind goes blank

Because of the wine that we earlier drank!

 

Mistakes can happen which really aren’t our fault

Like when trees jump out and give our car a jolt.

 

Mistakes can happen in the very strangest way

That can make us regret getting out of bed that day.

 

Mistakes can happen which make our blood pressure rise,

Especially when we take the blame for other people’s lies.

 

Mistakes can happen that leave us feeling blue

But with a little humour we’ll surely get through.

 

Mistakes can happen when our mind strays from the plot

As we recall our first love, my goodness, she was hot !

 

 

Let time take care of tomorrow

And you know, in the long term, it will.

Don’t worry yourself with unnecessary doubts,

Life, in the end, will climb it’s own hill.

Improve your looks,  renovate your face,

Have plastic surgery, just in case.

 

Your crows feet are now growing toes,

Don’t go outside when the cold wind blows.

 

Conceal your past, cleanse your mind,

The new you is here – and oh, so refined.

 

Recycle your thoughts, yesterday doesn’t matter,

You can’t join in any wartime chatter !

 

Look into the mirror, are you still there?

Oh my Goodness, there’s some grey in your hair!

 

Your laughter lines have gone under the knife,

And the heart bypass should extend your life.

 

But tell me truly, what is the point!

with arthritis creeping into every joint.

 

You’re bottom is sagging and to tell you straight,

You seem to me to be overweight!

 

You look like an oddity, something’s not right.

What on earth do you see, when you undress at night ?

Aren’t we all just products,

Of what has gone before?

Although we think we’ve left the past

We never quite shut the door !

 

 

 

 

The timing wasn’t right,

But then – is it ever?

So many plans on hold

Until the twelfth of never.

 

Schemes and dreams all squashed,

Swept out to sea so fast

What they had got lined up

Like history, now is past

 

Tidal waves still flood the mind,

The horror, daily comes to visit.

The hopelessness of those poor souls,

To just have fun was their requisite

 

The ones who came by chance

Looked fate into it’s eye.

Whilst others booked their journey,

Well before the tide was high.

 

Disastrous though it was,

Gladly some lives were saved.

Such lucky ones indeed.

For whom destiny’s path was paved.

 

Alas, it’s thought provoking

And it proves the sea is cruel.

This greater force around us

Is such a powerful tool.

Show me a tissue

Soaked in tears

From a grief stricken Mum

Who realised her fears.

 

She felt on the day

Her son left with his pack

He was gone forever

and wouldn’t be back.

 

Intuition had told her

Not to let her son go

But he was living his dream

His face had a glow

 

Inside, her heart ached

As only a mother’s can

His dad said ‘Be proud,

He’ll come back a man.

 

Brave though he was,

And courageous and strong

She soon got the call

That proved her right all along

 

Alas, no-one listened

For she couldn’t speak

And she now mops the tears

That fall to her cheek.
