Do you look at the stars
and think of me
waiting here for you
can you see me
from where you are
are your days
never ending
do you dream about me?
are your nights agony
like they are for me
do you call out my name
in your sleep
I know I call out for you
then I wake up
with tears
In my eyes.
I sit and muse, waiting under my tree
My head resting low upon my knee
Have I said something wrong to you?
Have I somehow made you blue?
The leaves do fall, yet still I’m here
Waiting for you to appear
My head still resting on my knee
Come on my love, come back to me
The snow falls now, yet I’m still here
Filled with dread, filled with fear
You cannot love me anymore
Now I know you’ve closed the door
Weary now I climb to my feet
My head hung low in defeat
Oh to see you again, if only I could
But now I know your gone for good.

My granddaughter came to see us today along with her mum, dad and little brother holding a piece of folded paper saying “Grandma I’ve written another poem” She then stood in the middle of the room to read it to us:
❄️❄️❄️
The Frosty Winter.
Cold winds burns your little face
Blustery breezes sway back and forth
A Robbin with a burning breast
Fields as white as a snow leopard
Snowy air as cold as an ice cube
But a blood red orange sun sparkles in my eye.
By Ruby aged 9
❄️❄️❄️
I thought it was very descriptive, with a good choice of words. She wanted me to put it on my site to see if she gets any likes 😉
Here comes a brand new moon
let the dance begin
gently swaying from side to side
as I begin to sing
feeling the cool night air
watching the stars above
gently swaying from side to side
feeling the thoughts of love.
❤️

You don’t have to shout at me
I hear you loud and clear
you don’t need to raise your hand
when you know I live in fear
never giving me the chance to explain
to tell you how I feel inside
you never let my voice be heard
because the real me runs away to hide.

Do you hear me calling you
do you even care
knowing that you’re not around
is proving hard to bear
my tears fall so freely
calling out your name
but you’re not listening
to you it’s just a game
I opened up my heart to you
I gave my heart and soul
I vowed my everlasting love
but I doubt you even heard.

Will peace ever find you
will your mind ever rest
will your memories fade
with the time you invest
✨
will your heart stop racing
will your eyes shine again
will you ever start smiling
With the confidence you gain
✨
Will your soul start rejoicing
will your spirit fly free
will contentment ever find you
when you are set free.

John and I went to watch our granddaughter who is nine perform in the pantomime Aladdin, she was one of the dancers and we could not believe how good she was.
She is a tall girl for her age, her mum is 5ft 10 and she is obviously going to take after her mum. Yet her movements were so measured and graceful, she glided around the stage. We could see such a difference from last year when she danced in the Robin Hood pantomime.
She had the biggest beam on her face, we could see it from the balcony up above. Her face radiated happiness and confidence it was a pleasure to see I remember this poem that I wrote previously when she was 4 years old.

We all went to watch you dance
But sadly did not get the chance
Because you did not want to perform
You just sat and cried all forlorn
baby Ballet was not your thing
many talents you do bring
But today was not meant to be
as we all could plainly see
you had practiced for many a week
But stage and stardom you did not seek
Instead you sat all forlorn
Because you did not want to perform.
🌹
Well Ruby your now a star ⭐️ From a duckling to a swan. We are so proud.

Infinite wisdom I do share
Number of times I do declare
Fathomless words that are very deep
Immense pressure makes me weep
Never ending problems I can see
Absolution can never be
Travelling on uneven ground
Explanations I have found.

When the day is over and the night draws in
My spirit and soul begin to sing
Then the moon comes out to say goodnight
I close my eyes and then sleep tight
🌜
When the stars shine brightly in the midnight sky
My spirit and soul begin to fly
My body accepts a welcomed rest
Knowing that it’s done its best
✨✨✨
When the dawn breaks and the sun appears
My spirit and soul then reappears
Rejoining my body in its unique way
Ready to face a brand-new day
🌞

When I search your eyes
its clear to see
that you no longer feel
any love for me
when I listen to you speak
its plain to hear
you don’t really want
to have me near
when I feel your touch
it doesn’t feel right
it doesn’t feel gentle
it doesn’t feel light
when you kiss my lips
which is very rare
my heart feel lost
my soul feels bare.
💔
Copyright©2017 Elaine’s Bloggers Paradise, all rights reserved
You broke my heart
you saw it bleed
you sat and laughed
you fed on my need
I needed love
I sought your care
I trusted what you told me
I lay my soul bare
you played the game
I was tempted to join in
you played with my head
I could never win
❤️🖤💔

How could you break her heart that way
Well, what have you got to say
she did not deserve that pain
Her love for you was not a game
you really are a horrible man
I think you know I’m not a fan
Karma is a bitch so they say
mark my words one day you’ll pay
be careful when you’re crossing the street
for you never know who you will meet.

Tell me what your thinking
tell me what to say
tell me why you’re hurting
tell me, now, today
tell me of your hopes and dreams
tell me of your fears
tell me why you been so silent
tell me, why the tears
tell me now your opening
tell me, I can see
tell me, then I can help you
tell me, please, tell me.

We are looking after our Granddaughter and Grandson today while their mum is working. My granddaughter loves doing power point presentations (she is only 9) and she wrote the following poem and personally I think it is very good. I’ve put it on my site so she can see it online and I have it forever ……
*****
My Grandma
My Grandma is very creative she is kind and loving too
but my favourite thing about her
is that she rhymes her words too
so let’s go on a great adventure
to poem land we fly
and read some poems
until we reach the sky.
*******************
Ho ho ho and let’s be merry
I’ll have champagne you can have sherry
I’ve cooked the turkey we’ve had the elation
Now it’s time for my standing ovation..
🎄😳🏡🙄🎄😬🏡😳 🎄😳🏡🎄😁🎄😬

The turkeys to cook
The sprouts are to peel
I’m feeling light-headed
It feels quite surreal
Family are coming shortly
And nothing is cooking
Pass me that wine
Is it too late
To make a dinner booking
The children are screaming
And fighting each other
What happened to goodwill
And loving each other
My head is now aching
Maybe too much wine
Why did I suggest cooking?
Felt a good idea at the time
Now the ovens not working
Can this get any worse?
My panic is rising
And so is my voice
Screaming at my husband
Cancel the dinner
Just ring up your mother
then tell your brother
Your mother will gloat
She’ll be the winner
Not only the best cook
She is also far thinner
I jump up to start running
Then, I begin praying
My husband starts shouting
Then I start crying
I can’t cook the bloody dinner
I yell at the top of my voice
Wake up you’re dreaming
Was his reply
What!
It’s all been a dream
I haven’t spoilt the dinner
My mother-in laws coming
And she’s not thinner
Oh, the relief that I feel
You would not believe
Thank you, dear God,
For giving me my reprieve.
I suddenly feel festive
And all serene
I haven’t spoilt Christmas dinner
It was just a bad dream
Feeling quite calm I snuggle down in my bed
Then niggling thoughts start in my head
*
(now what time should I put the turkey in, hope the oven does work, perhaps I should just go and check)

I wonder what it was that hurt you
I wonder what cut you so deep
Why do you hold so much resentment
Your anger makes me want to weep
*
I understand that you’re hurting
That you’re still holding on to pain
But I am hoping that you will realise
To hold on will drive you insane
*
Believe me I am not judging,
I’m trying to help you, just being me
It hurts to see the pain in your writing
Realise that hurt inside you, set your spirit free.

Climbing up the ladder
Shed yourself of strife
Step by step start climbing
To find a better life
*
Success for you is waiting
Just put your trust in me
Stop your procrastinating
Lets see what you can be
*
Look up towards your future
leave this maddening crowd
No longer will you feel defeated
Lift up your head, be proud.

I have a little secret which I’m going to share
It’s something of a confession, I don’t know if I dare
It’s not something that I’m proud off, I hang my head in shame
I don’t think that this is funny, to me it’s not a game
It’s a longing for some liquorice or a marshmallow treat
For me it is an addiction, stopping now would be a feat
Before I type in a single word the craving takes a hold
Then I see myself trotting to the cupboard, I really am quite bold
I can’t abide gluttony to me it is such a sin
Something I need to work on, but I doubt I’ll ever win

Christmas is a time for sharing and giving
Christmas is all about loving and living
Christmas for me is a spiritual time
Christmas is not just about food and good wine
🎄🎄🎄
Christmas is a celebration of the birth
Christmas is the time for happiness and mirth
Christmas is a time to remember the needy
Christmas is not an excuse to be greedy
🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻
Christmas is not the time to protest at our lot
Christmas is when we should give thanks for what we’ve got
Christmas is a time for remembering the homeless too
Christmas blessings to them and also to you too
☃️☃️☃️
Christmas should be a lovely time of the year
Christmas is when our loved ones draw near
Christmas is a time for us to kneel and say
Thanks for our blessings in our own special way

I found this in my file today that I wrote back in 2003 so here it is with a few tweaks
Fairy on the Christmas tree please grant a special wish for me
May I have a drum, a red car and a big lolly pop tree
I have been good this year doing lots of reading and writing
I’ve been a martyr at school, hardly done any fighting
My sister is easy she wants a pram and a dolly that cries
She deserves it, she’s been so good, not telling many lies
My mummy would like a maid to wash up after dinner
Or perhaps a special mirror that makes her look thinner
My daddy would like a calendar of Holly Valance
Because when she’s on telly he goes in to a trance
My grandma would love a nice potted plant for her coffee table
Granddad is easy he likes jumpers that have designer labels
Fairy on the Christmas tree please grant my wishes for me
If you do then a good boy next year, I promise I’ll be.
Yours truly
Jonny aged 6 x

Angel
on the Christmas tree
will you grant a wish for me
can you make more people smile
then their lives would feel worthwhile
show them that Christmas is a time for giving
time to spread some human kindness and to begin living.

When I look into your eyes
I feel your pain
when I hold your hand
I feel no love
❤️️
When I whisper your name
searching your face for a sign
to show me that you still care
I hope you do
❤️
When I feel your skin next to mine
I relax and dare to believe
that somehow our love can be retrieved
I hope you stay.
