Gratitude

What a gift it is to have a human life.
It is when you take a closer look,
you will find that there is always
something to be grateful for.
Expressing gratitude on a daily basis is
the surest way to bring positive change
to your soul.

Perfect Moments

Life never seems to be the way we want it,
but we live it the best way that we can.
There’s no perfect life but we can fill it
with perfect moments.

Glorious Easter

Only God could have created
all the loveliness of spring.
Made the bough to bud and blossom.
Taught the robin how to sing.
Only God could have remembered,
Through the winter, cold and gray,
How to renew the earth with beauty
And give us this Easter Day.

Poem for a Mum

My Mother kept a garden,
A garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
That gave my life its start

She turned me to the sunshine
And encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem…

Her constant good example
Always taught me right from wrong-
Markers for my pathway
That will last a lifetime long.

I am my Mother’s garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me.
