Happy birthday mummy D

​Happy birthday my beautiful friend
We met years ago; and from that moment we shared creative gifts we shared
I am thankful to God for her love and mercy which is declared.

A brilliant mother
And a determined child of God, 
A great friend who says: “you’ve got this”
And I say this to her as well
The prayers delivered are powerful, and ones to always tell. 

I am honoured to have you as my sister,
And pray for you to remain in my life for a long time,
You are priceless and great
And endureth child of God who never turns up late. 

Thank you Lord for this beautiful friend,
Another day
Another beautiful celebration
This is humility for a wonderful soul in tremendous admiration.

“Happy Birthday Deborah”

Kindness in a bottle

​One day you can turn your world upside down,
Or turn from down to the top
Learning is key and can never stop.

One day will make a difference 
One minute you are low 
The next you can be high
Learn to retreat and never say to ‘yourself’ a goodbye.

Love is king
Hope is following a higher power to love,
There is nothing in this world you should never shove.

Be calm with the spirit,
Look at the ways to progress your soul,
There is love always, just go to that place, where you shall perennially grow.

One day at a time

​One day at a time we need to see
We are all blessed with gifts, and sometimes that makes us controlled and free. 

One day at a time
I wnt this life to be part, 
Yet I am a emotional soul, 
I am sometimes do not know where to go. 

‘One day at a time 
I am humble and light, 
I have my ironing board out and ironing my clothes to keep me calm, 
I rather do that than cause any harm.

One day at a time I send you plenty of love to consume, 
As long you stay in the present and be open minded and never look to assume.

Taking the next step

​what’s the next step? 
When are you nice to you?
This is not psychoanalysis what to do.

So what is next?
Rest?
Think?
I pray you don’t pick up or have that drink!

One day can change a lot
Life turning events they call it 
And sometimes it is manifested bit by bit.

It will be okay 
For you and I,
Yes, we shall have our moments when uncertainty creeps in,
And that God is at hand, because he already achieved this win.

Sober today

​Thank you for me
Thank you for you, 
Today I am sober and for that I am thankful, 
I love the fellowship but I have a life too
We have this moment we seek to imbue. 

Tomorrow is tomorrow 
And if God says it’s okay to be around, 
I am blessed to have this moment with fellows, which is sound. 

Thank you for you
Thank you for me,
I know today is special and humbling 
I am no longer with a drink, and constantly stumbling. 

I am no longer blaming others for mistakes I’ve made, 
I am walking on this path of sobriety from a place which I once concede.

Enjoy what you have 
Enjoy what you do, 
And if you stay humble and sober, you can wake up, pray to God and ensue.

“Blessed and thankful as sober”

What I won’t miss

Catford, ​It’s been my home for over half a century,
So now I am mixing it up, and to myself that is what I use to say
Now I am leaving as this borough can’t accommodate me anymore, to allow me to stay. 

The place has changed
Drugs, alcohol which brings mental health to its heights 
To a point I am pleased to be leaving
Yet part of me wished they could help me… as I tried to keep believing.

Time for a change 
Pleased to finally leave, 
I have family here and been in this borough since 1977
I recall my secondary school, Catford Boys when I started going to when I was 11. 

I have a mixture of feelings 
I really don’t want to leave, 
But then again, this is a door opened, and a chance God didn’t deceive.

People said to fight to stay, 
But it was my time to go away, 
I rather be in a quiet part of England, and to be around somewhere new as I know all shall be okay.

“Lewisham has been my home since 1973, due to policy and housing crisis… I had to leave.”

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.🙏🏽

“619 days sober”
