The once impossible is possible

​What do you want?
A dream to turn real, 
Make this happen and treat the victory afterwards as a moment that is surreal.

It’s a power higher than you 
Where you are the vessel who looks to succeed, 
The swagger of the racket on Roland Garros Courts, 
You may fall and your knees shall bleed..
But victory is pending for you to finally feel and then see.

But you are a champion waiting to happen 
With a auto-immune condition to fight alongside too, 
Your Diabetes has been your struggle day to day…
Yet victory on the courts of Roland Garros you shall have the final say.

Victory was there for the taking
The God said ‘this day belongs to you,
Remember, nothing worth fighting for will ever be easy
Yet your racket did the talking…so wonderfully and freely.

Happy with the now

​The now is here
Looking to the light to endear, 
Working through sobriety through the book
This poem can’t make you sober 
The hard work you put in shall,
Taking this moment from the now.

The now is here
The now is the hope for a good time,
Pray to God as all shall be fine.

The blessing of now is merciful and with grace
The now we can do something with reflection,
The light of hope is aimed to seek perfection.

The fact of perfection does not exist but it will be sought
The now is here and nowhere to turn,
God bless you all as this is an opportunity to learn.

Tomorrow’s pledge

​Tomorrow is another day
What will it have in store? 
I start it off with a prayer, is there anything else that you want more?

Tomorrow is not guaranteed, remember those who will say goodbye
we will all face this time in life, personally for me that moment won’t come as a sigh.

Tomorrow is love 
Tied up in a bow, 
Remember today is the present and tomorrow is never guaranteed
I pray to my higher power that we are all set free.

Tomorrow is my friend, if and when that day arrives
I refuse to talk those who are annoying, as I am not just here for the ride.

Sobriety… the best place in the world

​Being drunk is something most (not all) of us aim to do
I don’t care if I was hurting my liver or other organs as I was tyrannically and mentally behind,
Damaging myself was the option, f.ck that other word called ‘be kind’.

I was scared 
I was nervous to the point of destruction,
Lord I was canning the drink like no end,
My story isn’t different from someone else who wanted excitement to transcend. 

We are all accountable
We aim to be sober, but just for today, 
Because this is the time to flourish and find our higher power
I prayed for humility but all I wanted to do was fall from the highest tower. 

I found that ‘moment’ when I couldn’t go on,
This may come across as a public speech, but the end result I was weak and wanted to return as strong. 

Am I sad I put myself through this ordeal?
Not really, I didn’t care what happened to me,
The refusal of love within wasn’t going to set me free.

Who said this would be easy?

​Hi brother, this poem is written especially for you,
It doesn’t have all of the answers, just my perspective and the potential what to do.

You see I pray for you,
Why? because I want you to thrive and show your ultimate best, 
Yes, I am no further away from trouble 
Yet in life you can escalate problems by making them double. 

I have been there, 
I have been beaten, rejected a lot and didn’t know where to turn, 
Believe me Matthew you are a true champion, and one who knows how to discern.

I don’t have the answers, that’s left to your higher power
you say your prayers, I suggest for you  to start the day,
It only takes a minute and sets you on your way. 

Life wasn’t going to be easy
But you are figher and won’t give in, 
You will find solutions to never be alone
I know you man, you may have a whinge and a drone.

But you are great at what you do, 
Don’t take my words for it, people will always see you,
You see, I don’t seek compliments but this is one that you deserve
And that today is simply all we have, therefore humble hearts like yours shall discern.

“Proud of you Matthew… and you should be of yourself.”

Thank you for being you…

​Thank you for being you,
This world is difficult to navigate as we are always finding solutions finding, as you don’t know what to do.

You lose yourself,
I have done that countless times, 
It’s not about ‘maybe’ or ‘perhaps’,
That can lead towards a treacherous trap. 

If you lack the patience 
The learn to find that balance and be still, 
Some people need to keep going, and that’s cool,
It’s only yourself that can lead to becoming the fool.

Wake and embrace the day
Do something kind and calm, 
Life isn’t about pushing through
Just accept the fact there is silence, and which is required in you.

I miss him every day (Dad poem)

​There is something melancholy when someone protective leaves this earth
You can’t put your finger on it, and the trails that come with it from the point of your own berth.

I miss him, 
His face, his laugh, he love and his protection
He was a people person, my pain in the arse and had a wonderful reflection.

Don’t get me wrong, we didn’t always see eye to eye..
But that is families for you, 
They bite, they twist and can take you to the very edge
I speak these words from the heart, something I humbly pledge. 

I write these words fluidly 
My speech is just the same, 
Yet despite these gifts, nothing can remove the pain.

The arguments you may have with others
The people who press button which can hurts, 
The punched you want to fly from the weight lifting training session which you did,
I thank God for today, as I miss the old Sod… the one I never wanted to get rid.

“Miss you Dad… I don’t think I’ll ever forget you… Love your son❤️”
