    THE MAGIC BOOK PAGES

    The mind is like an open book - you

    sometimes want to close

    Page after page is telling a story - 

    but what of....no body knows.

    The pages tell a story and your mind

    can create some glory

    And if you do get stuck - there's always

    Jackanory!

     

    The mind can be stimulated as the 

    eyes open wide with glee

    And you can also make a story up - 

    and it's all for free. 

    The excitement is overwhelming as

    you turn page by page

    And can enjoy the whole book - no

    matter what your age. 

     

    The pages can see a secret and they

    know a troubled mind

    You can even enjoy the pages - even

    if you're blind.

    You see the pages are also magic as

    they can also talk to you

    That is so special the magic is so true.

    THE WATERFALL OF LIFE

    (I dedicate my poem to all

    true believers. May God truly

    bless you. Amen.) 


    The waterfall of life,
    shall quench the 
    thirst, which is rife,
    For the thirst of the
    mind does say;
    "drink and thou shall
    save a life?"

    The water is pure - 
    and so sweet,
    It tastes so good - 
    it really is neat.
    The father, our God,
    has blessed the water - 
    Just for us - as we
    now drink, as we 
    oughta!

    In desperation, the
    body does wander,
    But forsaking the lord,
    is only in slumber?
    We all need guidance - 
    and a shoulder for
    support,
    That shoulder, I feel,
    is the support, I do
    sought? 

    To cleanse the soul,
    is all I wish,
    Then take a taste, of
    that glorious dish!
    The dish of food -

    A BRIGHTER TOMORROW

    The poor get poorer

    that's a fact

    The rich get richer

    they never use any

    tact.

    The homeless are

    begging - but some

    are only fake

    They sit outside the

    shops - and are

    always on the take.

     

    The Government has

    tried to help us

    But some people do

    cause a lot of fuss.

    They stay at home

    working hard on the

    phone -

    As the slowly turn

    into a clone!

     

    Life will never be

    the same again - but

    to carry on we do

    Covid-19 has changed

    our lives - that is very

    true.

    When we wear the

    masks - it hides a

    sinister look

    Then we walk in to a

    shop or a bank - and

    looking like a crook!

     

    Is there light at the

    end of this dismal

    THE MAGICAL HEAVENLY STARS

     

     

     

    The magic of the stars

    is magic to the eyes

    I can see them all day

    and night - what a

    surprise.

    The stars gather round

    on proud display,

    And to see this magical

    sight we do not need to

    pay.

     

    The darkest of the night

    is a blessing for all to

    see,

    You just look on up at

    the sky - believe me - it

    is free.

    The sky is inviting me

    to go and have a tour

    To see the wondrous

    stars on parade - they

    ooze lots of amour.

     

    God has made a special

    home somewhere in

    the sky

    I would dearly love to

    see it - of this I cannot

    deny.

    Even the angels are

    flying and flirting with

    the stars,

    As they are now angelic

    TO ESCAPE MENTAL ILLNESS

     

     

     

    You can run and hide

    and admire the calm

    sea tide

    You can have a friend

    by your side

    But you cannot get

    away

    For mental illness is

    out to cause you mass

    dismay.

     

    You feel so worthless

    as you lose interest

    to live

    So you now go on a

    mission - your enemies

    you forgive.

    You feel low and isolated

    and you wish to end

    your life

    Because mental illness

    is causing you so much

    strife.

     

    There is no hope as

    you just want to be set

    free

    So you plan your exit

    as soon as you've had

    your tea.

    Your feelings are at

    rock bottom - you only

    want to get away

    You care nothing of

    your friends and family -

    MY BROKEN HEART

     

     

     

     

    You leave me with a broken heart

    You said we would never part. 

    Our love was solid and so new

    I loved you more each day that is

    true.

     

    So my heart is broken for now, 

    but it will mend

    And I promise myself I won't go

    round the bend.

    My life is worthless that is so

    true

    Because the love of my life is

    always you.

     

    Every day my heart sinks so low

    and it is broken

    But one day a new love and my

    heart will be awoken. 

    God shall help me that's for sure

    As God's love is the loving cure.

     

    My darling, my life, you are now

    my wife

    Never again will I suffer any strife.

    My heart is beating as your love

    has rekindled my love

    THE "POLITICAL" RAINBOW

    The colourful rainbow is

    a beautiful sight,

    But it has been hijacked

    by the LGBT and it gives

    us all a fright.

    The colourful rainbow

    used to be in the sky, so

    high,

    But now it's used for

    propaganda - it really

    makes one cry.

     

    The LGBT are out there -

    that we all do know

    But the more they promote

    their propaganda - it makes

    us all feel low.

    The sky where it rightfully

    belongs now is a distant

    memory,

    But the rainbow is used

    in a political way - and thus

    creates more bigotry!

    MY DARLING....I LOVE YOU

     

     

    MY DARLING...I DO LOVE YOU



    The sound of your cry,
    Does ask the reason 
    why,
    Your love is my life - 
    without you I would
    die.
    So please stay with
    me - to live as one - 
    we will try.

    My darling I miss you,
    that is so true,
    You make me feel so
    good - and truly brand
    new.
    Our lives are to be 
    together - and our love 
    will be true,
    If God is my witness - I 
    love you, truly I do.

    FORSAKEN FOR LOVE

     

    Forsaken only to you
    My love for you is true.
    Blessed is the soul of
    love
    It comes as a gift from
    above.

    Cross your heart as
    you pray
    And you'll never again
    feel dismay.
    Forgive those who hurt
    us so
    For they always enjoy
    a fuss as we feel low.

    To feel your beating
    heart so loud
    You feel the nerves of
    the shouting crowd.
    The Holy Ghost is a
    blessed soul of life,
    As you betrove your
    love to your loving 
    wife.

    God Bless thy honour
    and all on Earth.
    As we all will feel a
    new rebirth.
    The love is there within
    your heart
    And tomorrow shall
    bring a whole new start.
