  • Farewelling My Father

    Just a few short months on and I am now crying, not tears of anticipation, but of farewell. I watched my dear father pass away – that very spiritual moment when his soul left his body and went to be with the Lord, almost 2 weeks ago. This week we will celebrate his life and…

  • Now To Forget You

    You cared – really cared; You made me feel like a princess When everyone else passed me by. But you were not to be mine. I watched you from a distance Then hid myself away; I couldn’t bear it any longer. You had moved on, But I was still stuck in yesterday. You looked after…

  • Standing there under warm lights, Violin raised and bow drawn, I found you in that sea of faces At sweet, innocent, fifteen. I’d never seen you through that lens And perhaps never will again; A thrill not equalled on that stage- Proud moment standing still. As I played, you did not know The ballad became…

  • When I was just a few years old, I had something big weighing on my mind. I was feeling extremely guilty – not for something I had done as a once-off, but for a repeated offence. What was worse, Tommy seemed to be affected in the long-term  from what I had done only a handful…
