A more serious poem written for my friend Lynn and Steve's son James's baptism. I am not religious so found this a challenge to do, but was very pleased with the result. I framed it and one for his brother and the last time I was at their house, they are still proudly displayed on the window sill.
Feel the love surround you
Today and every day
Love from you dear family
Which God has sent your way
Your family is a circle
Of enormous strength and love
And includes the care from Jesus
And his father up above
God created boys
Full of sprit, strength and fun
To explore the world, learn from it
And share with everyone
Remember your faith and you will
Touch the people you know
Continuing your journey through life
Learning as you grow
God is always at your side
And think of him when you pray
May all the love of Heaven
Enrich this Baptism Day
Welcome
I love words and have been writing for years. Although it started with silly poems, I have matured (slightly) and now enjoy writing poems and songs for special friends to celebrate special milestones. I have decided to put these online should anyone be interested and also they are a safe haven online should anything happen to my knackered old laptop!
So from my first song for Helen, to the latest songs for Tina's 40th and poems for Sherrell's baby and all the stuff in the background since I was 14, enjoy my silly poems, my prose, my barstardisation of songs and if any one of them makes you smile, then I am happy. Let me know what you think!
