SIMPLY POEMS

Simply poems within this section you will find a miscellaneous collection of poems which have been written by me because they were in my head. They reflect life and I am sure you may be able to fit them into an occasion so they are worth checking out. I hope you find them interesting.

TIME

This little old lady sitting here
Stuck in time often shedding a tear
It's hard to see she was once pretty and bright
As now she just sits there looking a sight
A post war baby and a sixty's teenager
Brought up in a time when changes were major
Mini skirts, coffee bars, rock and roll
No-one in her youth was on the dole
You could change your job whenever it suited
Plenty to choose from you need not be rooted
A wife and a mother she did her best
But best is not always enough and she stood the test
Her life was not easy there were many bad times
Which is why she often scribbled thoughts in rhymes
But time goes by quicker than you ever think
Her life almost finished she'll soon be extinct

MY SON

My son ever since you were born I have done my very best
I have tried to shelter you from harm and make any hurt seem less
When you are sad, I am sad, when you cry I cry to
It breaks my heart so very much that I cannot seem to shelter you
My words and arms are not big enough to take away your pain
No matter how I try to help it now seems all in vain
Nothing but nothing is so bad that it cannot be put right
It only takes some searching, thought and talking to find the answer to a plight
No matter what you do or how disappointed I may be with you
You are my son, the product of my love, I am always here for you and you should be here for your mother to

SEASONS

The daylight is getting longer Spring is on it's way
Oh how I look forward to the long summer days
Once Christmas has run it's course and the celebrations come to an end
The winter days that follow drive you around the bend

So lets look forward to the spring when the days are lighter
With the promise of summer when we hope the sun shines brighter
And it always seems to be that summer days are longer
With the promise of sunshine making us feel stronger

So lets look forward to the summer with longer lighter days
Even though we grumble when the sun often forgets to show it's rays
But don't forget Autumn when the leaves change colour and fall
It may look very pretty but we know winter will soon call

So we have come a whole circle in the space of this poem
All of us another year older in this one little zone
Time is sometimes our enemy and sometimes our friend
But it ticks steadily over from our beginning to our end

A Poem for INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

Ladies raise your voices and your skills
Look back at the history of women of strong wills
We no longer live in a time when men rule
Women have brains and can no longer be fooled

Remember your sisters who felt so strong
They risked their lives to right things that were wrong
So never throw those hard fought for votes away
Celebrate your International Women's Day
