The following poems are by Sandy Who sits in judgement on their fellow man,
You cry when you have to and laugh when you can.
Is the message reduced if dealt with a smile.
If laughter eases pain,even for a short while,
Then let it ring out,"allow" your tears to dry,
For you can still see the sun,if you really try.
The dark clouds of misery soon drift away,
If you let laughter in...it just might stay.....
We have day and we have night,
We have darkness and we have light,
We have sun and we have rain,
We have peace and we have pain,
Neither is right,and neither is wrong,
You just try for a balance as you journey on,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes we don't agree,for we are different you and me, MUM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We seek and we search, and we ponder and read, When you take on a pet you know from the start,
It's not just a home you give,it is part of your heart.
They come with a nature so loving and true,
It's not what you own that counts,they only want you!
How do you measure this love and deep devotion?
It is like asking how high the sky,how deep the ocean.
So brief are their lives and are over too fast,
But don't dwell on your loss for the memories will last,
They are just out of sight,never far away,
And you and your "friend"will be re-united one day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BALANCE
Who sits in judgement on their fellow man?
You cry when you have to and laugh when you can!
Is the message reduced if dealt with a smile,
If laughter eases pain,even for a short while,
Then let it ring out," allow" your tears to dry,
For you can still see the sun if you really try.
The dark clouds of misery will soon drift away,
If you let laughter in...it just might stay!
We have day and we have night,
We have darkness and we have light,
We have sun and we have rain,
We have peace and we have pain.
Neither is right, neither is wrong,
You just try for a balance as you journey along....

 MY LIFE. Look through my eyes and tell me what do you see?
How would you have lived my life if you had been me?
All the things I have had to deal with as I travelled along,
Some things I did right and some things I did wrong!
I tried not to hurt or offend, to be honest and true,
What would you have changed had it been you?
I have had laughter and joy, pain and sorrow,
Sometimes I have thought I can't face tomorrow!
Do you know what lies behind my smile?
How I have struggled, mile after mile,
Sometimes when the pain got really bad,
My humour and laughter was all that I had!
Sometimes we are wrong in what we think we are seeing,
Until you have walked in their shoes, don't judge another being...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DAD
Who is the old man that sits in a chair? Lined is his face and white is his hair,
His speech slow and weak, all power has gone,
Arms and legs so frail, no longer strong.
Eyes that are pale, yet the blue is still there,
A mind that wanders- he will just sit and stare,
My father you say! but how can that be,
That I don't recognise him yet he still knows me!
But my dad's only forty, full of life and so strong,
When did this happen, when did it go wrong?
Where did the years go that took him away?
"Not "wrong"- just old age " I can hear you say,
So I look in the mirror and what do I see,
I'm a child no longer- middle-aged that is me!
If I let my mind wander through years that have flown,
I know he has aged and this child has grown
For my heart still tells me it is my dad that I see,
And the child that I was he still sees in me!
For the years that have passed have not lessened the bond
It continues through this life and the one that's beyond!
We can still share memories, the pain and the laughter,
For he is still my dad, and I am still his daughter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Guardian Angel When people ask you how you are and you can't reply "I'm fine"
Just reach out your hand to me and I will take it safe in mine
I will give you my support and try to quell your fears
I will enfold you in my loving arms and wipe away your tears
When all your skies are dark and grey and hope it all seems gone
I will encourage you and give to you the strength to carry on
When your burden grows too heavy and the weight has pulled you down
I will lift it on MY shoulders- and take it as my own
When you're feeling you are all alone and there is nothing you can do
Just remember I am with you and TOGETHER we'll come through
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OUR PLANET
