I have enjoyed writing poetry since childhood and I am hoping to find a wider audience on my blog, sharing the hope that I have and connecting with others.

    • Yes You Can Change!

      Notebook ready, A list is made; Timeline, SMART goals – Mood is frayed! How to step over A sizeable rut? Food the medicine, For the wounds that cut. Then there was injury- So much of that; Nothing was going to Whisk away fat! Well-meaning family Didn’t understand ; Circumstances seemed to be Out of my…

    • Ode To One Who Cares

      Your reassuring hand on my shoulder, Your empathetic eyes; A rare gem who cares more than many in the field, Clear-thinking and wise. Never-judging- always positive , Declaring the distance I’ve come; You make the mountains shrink away And affirm all the hope that’s begun. You’re a calming influence ; Your humour disarming- As well…

I sat in that grief late afternoon today,…

    • A crossroad

      Today was one of those days which define a crossroad and lead into the next chapter. I began the day feeling nervous and nauseous, wondering about the outcome of a meeting. Right up until the last moment I wasn’t sure whether I would be able to come to agreement on the main points but in…

    • What Is It We Celebrate?

      What Is It We Celebrate?

      Many seem to wonder As Christmas comes around once more, Why they have waited in anticipation; What they have waited for. Perhaps they thought it was Santa Or maybe presents under the tree – The buzzing excitement in the shopping malls The children, blithe and free! Maybe it was the carols – The chance to…

    • Out Of The Darkness

      Out Of The Darkness

      Out of the darkness, Came a new sound; A pillar of strength, Where hope was found. First came a forth a glimmer, Then creative torrents flowed – A heart gaping open, As in tears, I sowed. More and more, This new song came; New melody, new chords A new found flame. It mattered  not Whether…
