I have enjoyed writing poetry since childhood and I am hoping to find a wider audience on my blog. I am inspired to share the hope that I have while letting the reader glimpse the ups and downs of my journey.

  • The Social

    It seems like it was just yesterday – The Grand Chain and the Strathspey- My purple skirt and cheery face Dancing lithely in the space! Travelling step, then right and left The music churning; timing kept- Those were the days of love and dreaming; Cares forgotten- face kept beaming. Easy to imagine that I could…

  • 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…

  • Never Mind “Shoulds”

    Never Mind “Shoulds”

    I’ve come to the end of my strength;Will, nor circumstance enough-My best not amounting to anything much;I’m doing it really tough.I tell myself that, one day “this”Or one day, maybe, “that”;But I keep falling on the floorWhere once, I calmly sat.And he’s not here- he’s in pain- in there-The one who made me calm;Everything is…

  • Holding Your Balloon

    Solitude. Often oblivious to surrounding movement; Ears filled with a barrier of music; Gently, I drew near. Resolve. Never a harsh word- you were always gracious, Allowing support; I longed to help you rise. Pressure. Mountains of work – Easier to sleep, than try; Concerned, I spoke for you. Turning point. Line by line, task…

  • Now To Forget You

    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…

  • Ruins

    Broken, Washed up, dried up, You feel that your best years are behind you Paralysed; Scared to move or even speak – You don’t want to fall again… The lies have overtaken you – Bound you like a spider Suffocating its prey as it crushes it in thread Every new dream, every new spark Chopped…

  • Holding Your Hand

    When you are discouraged I am holding your hand Feeling your pain Reaching your heart. Wrapped around you Steadying your steps I minister with joy When it seems all is gone. I see you asleep Watching over you I ensure That none would harm you* I alone Have counted every tear Placing them in a…
