Wanting a change..

​Prayers do get answered
Yet love of others shall remain  unchanged,
This is a great thing for us all,
There will be challenges, and there shall be falls.

But change in inevitable 
Things don’t always stay the same, 
Tomorrow is a blessing from what we can see,
We all possess gifts and seek what we need.

Prayers are the answer
Believe that or not,
I choose not to argue with you, as I know my God is my ‘free will’ too,
Our anchor, our love and our hope in our walk with me and you. 

So prayers shall be answered if required by God,
There is hope and a desire to see you okay,
As remember this (and I’ve said this before)… it shall be okay.🙏🏽

Thinking and thinking

​We can over think, 
I think most of us do, 
Especially when there is change
And you are wondering how your mind shall rearrange.

We can over think
I know that I do, 
My mind is working out the next step
Thinking, plotting and working it out
And praying that God will intervene to do what I want to go about. 

We can overthink
We can do it to excess, 
Looking for opportunities, when perhaps you need to let things go
No need to overthink, as you need to leave the mind alone. 

We can overthink 
What choice do we have, 
Especially when the head is feeling the heat
And that the God of your understanding withstands any of his children’s facing defeat.

“Over thinking”

Thank you my friend.

​Thank you for your time 
Thank you for being you, 
You may not know what you have done to support this friend, 
Perhaps it was a smile, those small things we can’t always comprehend. 

Thank you for your love
And thank you for your hugs when tears were leaving my face
This life of yours should never become a waste. 

Thanks you for your company
Thank you for the time when you gave me peace, 
You said nothing and that helped tame my inner beast.

Thank you for being you
You have a wonderful and beautiful soul, 
Tomorrow is another day, as I thank you my friend
The road to recovery will pose many questions which have no answers, 
Today you are moving forward with joy and hope
You shan’t need to delve on that slippery slope. 

Thank you my friend
You a blessing which God provided, 
I just wish there were more of you by making you divided.

Hello for today

​Hello
How are you today?
“This is a stop gap,” I am saying to me
I will be looking towards a new life to feel free.

Hello
It will be okay,
No more tears, simply new beginnings 
Looking for a new start 
I will be okay, change can never truly depart.

Hello,
It will be okay,
Walking on your journey has been something new
The road for anyone is fascinating from the things that we do.

You will be okay 
You may not feel it now,
Confidence we can be lacking from time to time 
But today promises to reveal itself eventually, that’s what I find.

Is this goodbye?

​My home for 53 years
What are you referring to? God said “don’t worry there is nothing to fear.”

My home since 1977
I grew up there, now I say goodbye,
Is that for good? As I shan’t sigh or look to cry.

My home as long as I can remember,
Recalling Dad taking us to this new home,
Now we are in 2026 where times have changed
It’s through my higher power as I now turn onto the next page.

This has been my home for such a long time
But the door will shut as long God wants it that way,
As long I remain spiritual, I can now lay my head in this new place to stay,

Experience, strength and Hope (ESH - A.A. Poem)

​I care for you 
But you need to do the work, 
So here is my story, thought I was going to die, I continued to drink until it started to get worse. 

I had that epiphany
That moment that changed a lot, 
I didn’t want to be on this earth
I felt I had no value in my life… for what’s that was worth. 

I did eventually get the help, and received the community detox to get this stuff out
I started to abstain, as this new life I was still dubious for wanting to be about. 

The thing is we are here, we have another chance 
I wished and prayed for all people with this disease to come through this torrential ordeal,
And that life today is simply for the ‘here and now’
I end my queue there, as I shall take a humble bow.

Emotinally unavailable

​People need to know their limits 
And that others are not emotinally available all the time, 
Emotions do run thick and fast 
Praying to God I hope this person’s words won’t continue to last. 

I am hear to today 
Working out the next best move, 
I want to hold onto God today, I know he has the remedy to soothe. 

It’s about love 
It’s about looking after body, heart and soul, 
It’s about wanting to find what’s best for you
Unlike me, I need to take my own advice in this road where I imbue. 

I am here today
And perhaps tomorrow won’t be around, 
Only God knows how long I will be staying around for
I am happy I have the present moment… and won’t sought anything else more.

“Feeling emotional….”
