The view








The view from my window


Is a wonderful sight


Morning noon or night





The trees can be seen


Their leaves are


A luscious green


On their branches


  The blossoms are bright





Across the garden fence,


A sunflower peeps through]


And it’s taller than me or you





In the distance fields


The farmer's seed he sows


And his crops grow


Row by row.





In the evening


When the sun goes down


And the clouds go drifting by


Darkness falls


Then stars light up the sky

Dark





And the sky is turning black





The branches on the tree are Bare





And there is no one to be seen anywhere





There all indoors keeping warm





Log fires and slippers on





Curled in their favourite chair





No sign of darkness any where

Christmas











The snow is in the ground


And tree tops sparkle and white


A new day has adorned


Baby Jesus has just been born





Hush my child do not fret


Up in the sky


A star


Will guide mankind to where you are





Children's toys on the floor


It's too cold to play outdoors


Mama is in the kitchen


Preparing the festive spread


All her favourite recipes are in her head





The Christmas tree in the corner


Stands sparkly and looking grand


All of these things we do on Christmas day


To welcome Jesus into our homes to stay.

The Mill


The old mill still stands





Its propellers no longer go


And all around the weeds do grow





Orange sky up above





The mill stands all aglow





Lights up the history





When once it was working long ago





And the propellers round and round would go

Run Run Run Your Work Is Done








A picture of beauty





What a sight





Standing tall





Black as night





A coat that shines





And then he whines





In the field the horse stands





A powerful figure





And looking grand





Enjoy the freedom





Your working days are over





Your retirement just began





Run run with all you might





A powerful sight is the horse





With his coat as black as night

The waterfall








I walk along the path





That leads to the waterfall





In autumn with winds that gently blow





The gentle breeze in your hair





And branches on the trees will soon be bare





The colours of nature all around





And the beauty is magnified





With the roaring sound





As the water falls over rock on to the ground’s

I remember





I wander by the old oak tree


Me my husband and me and family


I see your initials on the tree


And I remember


When it was just you and me





On the branch we would swing


Over the river


And sometimes fall in


The memories come flashing back


And reality stop me in my tracks





I have a husband


You have a wife


But as I pass the old Oak tree


A little spark returns to me

The Dream





I had a dream last night





Not the kind





That gives you a fright





This dream was like a story book





To read the pages





Peep inside and take a look





In a little red house





Far inside the woods





Lived the fairy Queen





She wore a dress





One half red





The other half green





A handsome Prince by her side





Her soldier





He guards his bride





Fairies and elves all reside





Inside a giant mushroom they hide





A turtle dove





To pledge there love





Now go to bed and dream this book





Open the page and have a look
