Community

Community is family

We face ups and downs together,

We are here for one another

Reaching out and listening to the wanes that arrive

Through each other we find a way to survive.

Community is hope

Community is tremendous amount of strength,

Yes… we may not always get along

But we turn things right at the moment it started to go wrong.

Community is powerful

No island can be formed as one,

Looking forward to this hope called community, which is congruous in any situation which is more than just some.

Thank you for community 

It’s more than simply connecting,

There is harmony in each of our communities, which is more than sheer perfecting.

Save Catford Mews Cinema

People need one another,

The Mews gave us an opportunity to seriously engage,

People connecting, sitting down through a town which needs more than to simply stage.

People are important

Places do play an significant part,

This sad decision released does hit many peoples heart.

People are important 

If there is a way, then please see it in your heart to change this around

The purpose of a community, is to have places like ‘Catford Mews’ to stay, held and keep our feet on the ground.

Please remember community

Please remember regeneration is the beginning and the end,

The hope of a place like Catford Mews, is the hope for this outcome to turnaround and defend.

Inspired by the right people

Some people say silly things

So put yourself out there, who else is going to do this for you ‘mum or dad’ who shall later won’t always be around!

You try your best to socialise; and in the process keep your feet on the ground.

You see, I don’t need someone to help me, only God’s guidance

His hope and his springboard is the sheer defiance.

You learn and stop making excuses 

Pray for a solution, stop speaking victim behaviour, that’s the notion we shouldn’t be choosing.

Speak to positive people

Not those who say:”that’s the problem”, they don’t see the light

Avoid the political tangle, where there is God, there is a chance of winning the fight.

Matthew. A gift from God

I think of my friend Matthew 

I read the bible and see he has a define gift from God. 

Humble in spirit, and learning all the time 

balanced in hope, and seeking to find. 

We met years ago and arranged a game of tennis,

Every Friday on a summers day 

We swiped the tennis ball as our aspirations blew us away.

He has a kind soul

Who speaks for experiences he is waiting to face,

He needs to realise his name means “God’s gift”

Through his presence I often want to spend time with. 

He is kind, humble and rightly a little guarded, 

His aspirations to fly I pray is never discarded. 

His name brings me light 

I pray he knows the person he is in God one day, 

And that his thinking includes a prayer as we know the spirit shall stay. 

Thank you Matthew 

Remember the person God has created you to be, 

One day we shall meet in heaven… and ultimately we shall become free.

“Thank you Matthew😉”

Life… nothing tougher

Life is the ultimate ordeal

We all know this, as these words are to become surreal.

The knock of decision

It’s how you bring yourself back up,

The elevation from the error, is the hardest thing to overcome

Looking towards a prayer, where you eventually become one.

Life is difficult

And if you are gifted? Don’t knock that honour too,

Something just happens for your creative mind to flow

No matter how quick, or a moment when you feel you ought to become slow.

Speed isn’t the answer 

It’s the time you take to reflect where you own your mistake,

Don’t beat yourself up, there are enough people out there who attempt to make you break.

Jason

29th October 2024

Argue with the devil…not God

It’s the devil who holds you up

He is asking you to go back to his team, that’s why plenty of people are stuck in a rut.

The devil is a liar and infamous cheat

Pray to God first, he is the one who shall overcome,…. and shall defeat.

The devil has no purpose 

These two elements need to be one,

Good overs evil, then one day the prodigal son will overcome.

Do not succumb to the devil

He has no place in your life,

There are no brownie points to gain

Through prayer, there’s a second life to look forward to… and regain.

Jason

28th October 2024

Where there is hope….

You may face a low period in life

Speak and pray to God, that’s the uplift where you can strive.

Avoid those who argue, and ask: “why, why and why.”

They just hold up the answers from which you look to find.

Yes, shit happens, where we try to control the mistake to take place

I rather have this conversation with God, no deserving element needs to be embraced.

There is hope but it can’t always be seen

The purpose of prayer is more than just seeing in between.

Continue to try 

That all you can do,

Avoid gossip and speak of others which you have no control

Show kindness from your heart, you high is neatly placed like a stow.

West Ham vs Manchester United

The Irons vs Red Devils

Who in this encounter shall become that bit more disheveled?

 

Will it be Manchester, the reds from the north east? 

Or the east end maestro in West Ham United 

Who attempt to put up a good fight, 

Therefore a good game of football will be the form to light.

United had a tradition of consistent winning 

Yet the Hammers possess a history to keep fans excited,

With their flair and skill through other past greats 

Perhaps today has a victory which no one can debate.

The game shall be fluid and enticing to see

My bet is on West Ham, but then again ‘what will be, will be’.

So as this game looms closer to kick off, like I said West Ham are my team to win; A 2-1 win,

As long the day is enjoyable and there’s plenty to cheer

football shall undoubtedly win, 

Through the history these teams shall bring.

Ms Southgate

Hello you

Yes.. you

Believe what I am about to say,

No harsh words, just a factual opinion which I believe in my head should remain.

You are brilliant

Yes, you are a little mazy,

Kind hearted and often sometimes wonderfully hazy.

Yes, you ask lots of questions which no one knows the answers too

But you are ‘our’ crazy person which is the passage you’ve ensue.

You are Nikki, the inquisitive soul

Often says “ I don’t what I am talking about”

But those words are not always believed as you have more clout.

Remember the person that you are,

And if that comes across as a little zany

You are an angel in my heart, despite acting often…….a little crazy.

“Just my opinion 🤪x”

Walking the Father’s walk

We all have hope, we simply need to believe

It’s not about articulate words or making others look foolish?

You are a beautiful person, and should never feel at all ghoulish. 

Walk the walk of love 

Don’t beat yourself up, that just drains others around 

Find you first, but by doing that… pray and keep your feet on God’s holy ground.

We are not here to last long 

We face a serious of moments which shall test our soul,

Remember, God comes first and always will

It’s through humble prayer is where you look to heal. 

The walk is hopeful 

The walk leads to new you, 

Stay balanced and prayerful, I repeat these words time and time again

No matter how big the struggle is, the Devil isn’t always able to defend.

Jason

26th October 2024

Everyday and then the day after

Every day I seek hope

I seek inspiration and then a time to reflect,

Things have gone up, down or remained merely balanced 

There will be times we seek God’s grace and avoid a dalliance.

Everyday I seek to be around people who don’t overthink

Without those who overthink and walk down the wrong road

Look to God first from there you shan’t erode.

Every day I want those who are not here to return

Yet it’s through prayer I know I’ll have to discern.

I wrap myself warm and speak to God to embrace the day

Free will is powerful, God shan’t shoo you away.

I look to my days and ask so many questions

Will positivity arrive? 

Or in God shall I mere stay alive?

I say my prayers and mean it with whole and humble heart

God is for real, as this journey you take ‘everyday’ has many, many restart.

Jason

26th October 2024

Only God judges

Only the Lord can judge

Once you believe there is a nudge.

What I mean, there can only be one 

This is real life, and not the power of simply some!

God will speak to you in the very end

The notion of his hope is the bask we shall transcend.

The Lord sees it all

Only the power of one can manage this task,

The plethora of ‘the one’ can look upon our fate

The world is in chaos yet it was the Father’s son who took the bait.

Live with light

Live with joy

Live through a prayer

Yet like what is said: “it’s only the Father whose fruits that we should share”

Jason

25th October 2024

Why give a hard time for those who care for you

Why give a hard time to those who care for you?

You take their kindness for weakness and not sure how to act?

So this mere understanding returns the favour politely, that’s a fact.

So be polite to you

You deserve that in the least,

Show the person who is kindness to you the humility which you are able to show 

Through that, that’s where you grow. 

The love you have for you

Show that reciprocal example towards them,

The world doesn’t have enough love to show, so move past what is already stemmed. 

The moral of this poem is to show the kindness which is prayed for you each day,

May the deliverance of love always lead the way.

Jason

24th October 2024

Crazy times

Everything fast

Meshed with a bit of chaos

There are times we wondered what had just happened, especially through this a level of speed 

Are we too efficient, or ready to bleed?

Youth is consumed by technology 

The older generation are slowly passing away,

Yet the older folks who are staying around are so valuable as one day they won’t be able to stay. 

The speed is tremendous

Can’t we just take our time,

Places like London are so intense 

The raucousness isn’t soothing of those who feel less..

Politics is the new sport for some 

I rather go and play a sport to see an end goal,

Then do it all over again, just this time act a bit slow.

Jason

23rd October 2024

Visibly Invisible

People do judge, and what do they achieve?

So I had a drink and didn’t know it would take me to this place,

Then there’s life to endure, despite what that brings

I need God first, as the drink loosens the mind.. so you then beginning to sing…

The pain is Invisible but visibly you cover the scars

The limit of addiction is so blinded, 

What can you do? Feel unsighted and cry?

At least you are taking the first step, and wondered how you got to this place to where you fry.

People struggling and think no one cares

Perhaps your family are not there for you, and you feel you are holding onto a cliff

Do I do the ‘12 steps’ or read the serenity prayer?

The journey can be long, or short, these are powerful words to openingly share.

I feel invisible but I am a visible soul

I won’t ever leave you my friend, as connection won’t let go.

These words are real, honest and to the point 

I often say a prayer, and unsure where that would lead

I am visibly invisible, as you start again by planting a seed.

1985

‘Snooker loopy’ came into prominence 

Steve and Dennis contested the world snooker final on the final black ball

The upside down glasses sunk the final ball to bank £60,000 too and made the ginger magician stall.

There was boom, boom Boris 

Whose serve blasted him to an amazing Wimbledon title at a mere 17 years of age,

He leaped here and there to the ball which became an asset to capture his wage.

England boasted one of the best football teams in the world 

And would be able to match any other international team,

Yet it was the likes of France, Germany Argentina and Italy who won the major tournaments as part of their countries unprecedented dreams. 

The Brixton riots took place in a time of austerity 

People hurt through race, anger and a lack of hope

Remember God’s calling refuses you to dangle from a rope. 

“1985…. An interesting  year…”

Tuesday

The start of the week has arrived 

So we enter into day two, so we have survived. 

Some of us have jobs to focus on 

Others have a family that is quite demanding,

Some of us have both, which has no other withstanding.

It’s day 2 of a possible 7

The 7th day some of us pray to God, 

A day of worship to the Father, a time never to be at all bored.

The day can be bright, hopeful and uplifting

As long you say your prayers in the morning, to consume your spiritual living.

Jason

22nd October 2024

A blessed new week

A new start

A new beginning,

Pray to start the week

Challenges confronted with from what is unanticipated, or able to seek.

A blessed new day

The devil can eff…off and be on their way,

Today is exciting and formidable 

As this new chapter is unmissable.

Stay together and touch the souls that you love

Pray for them, their spirit is glided like a dove.

Love and pray

Through God, what else can I say?

If this is touching your heart, then grounded you shall be…from these words that I relay.

Jason

21st October 2024

Tired of today’s disputes

I am tired of arguments

I am tired with debates,

If you say something it’s then potentially under attack, that’s not my kind of mind, or state.

Some thrive on this topic

I rather people left me alone,

It’s quite simple for me, I need to be left in peace as these words of dispute I rather disown.

Tired of chat which leads to a debate

I rather stay on my own, that’s my kind of fate.

I am more into sport

Where the facts speak for themselves,

No argument, or dispute and where the books of  factual history are eventually put on the shelves.

1981

McEnroe ended Bjorn Borgs reign on the Wimbledon courts

Steve Davis won the world snooker title and dominated the sport in new order to restore.

Musical Youth sang ‘passed the Dutchie’

And Belgrano was victorious for the Brits

The element of humility received a plethora of hits.

Kim Wilde sang “kids in America” in revolutionised pop 

As digital behaviour wasn’t like it is now,

People spoke to each other without the occupancy of their phones

Evolving with music, culture and education when they speak

The world was changing but humanity had a honour to peak.

There was “ Bueller's day out” and start of “Superman 2”

The world always needs a saviour, as Christopher Reeve made us believe through the big screen that he was able to have flew.

Michael Jackson was the king of pop

As his elevation to entertain never stopped.

The style was beautiful 

The creation was so ‘new age’

This was the era to accept something special was about to change.

Jason

20th October 2024

Silent Christian

He may want to talk, and sometimes does not 

The devil will attack through others, who are harming without knowing,

He will pray for you and sometimes refutes what he is showing. 

He is kind in spirit 

And is loving in nature,

Don’t get the wrong side of him, as he rather pray than show is a debater.

He is praying for you all of the time

And times he may prefer to push you away, 

If you get on his nerves he won’t allow you to stay. 

The fact is, his heart is in the right place and he can be quiet when he needs,

He is humble in spirit and can help when you need to have a feed.

The love he holds is powerful and attributed through a  prayer, 

He is a ‘well wisher’ and often shows he is there.

So don’t take him the wrong way, despite his one word answers, 

He is praying for you, and yes he can be impatient and a bit of a chancer.

Jason

Nikki

A voice of reason…

But then again she will say: “I do not know what I am saying”,

Contriving words, is she burnt out? Or a tad swaying.🤣

Her heart is big, and divides men and women quite a lot,

In her heart she is a girly girl, but is also strong from where she needs to stand,

She refuses negativity through her wisdom, but then again there are plenty of people who love her, and will call themselves a fan.

I love her zaniness,

Her kindness is second to none,

She is still grasping the fact we are all different especially through the kindness she has received 

I spoke to God about this person, and the Lord said she is an angel, that’s now what I believe. 

Thank you Nikki 

Saying “that’s the problem” or “why” this and that?

Give yourself a little bit of credit despite stating she doesn't know what she is saying🤣

I think you debate in your mind too much …

but then again thank you for the home where I can be myself… that is a true touch.

Jason

It’s how you pick yourself up

Life is unpredictable 

No matter how hard we try to control time and situations,

You often get undone in our own indisposition.

Life is a rollercoaster

One minute you are on top 

The next minute you become unsure,

Remember God did create you and has already achieved overcoming the devil, forevermore.

The light is there 

The punch can hit through,

Ultimately it’s the father in heaven who ultimately chose.

You are perfectly made

But often you resist what the Father gives,

You may not understand his choice, yet it’s the Devil from where the Father has already rid..

Jason

18th October 2024

The fight continues

I am tired 

Waning and unsure where to turn,

Perhaps my path is different from the one I suspect 

As I humble my heart, through the challenge that’s worth it.

Time passes by

My eyes filled with uncertainty and a lack of hope,

God is always good, refuse to hang off a rope.

God is awesome 

God is the light, 

God is your source, and one that should excite.

Depleted, but I know I need to thrive

I know through God I have no choice but through him I am alive.

Time cannot be owed 

Pain always exist,

Try to stay focused and avoid to becoming remiss.

Jason

17th October 2024

Recovery

It’s a road no one can ever anticipate

It starts with a drink and then you are waning and then often inebriated.

 

The journey is long, yet sometimes it can be short

I pray to God everyday, “how did I get to this place” I later retort.

I lost my focus and decided to take a sip

Not knowing this sign of change was more than a blip.

The path is supportive, when around a new family to restore

I looked to the heavens for a magical ingredient, and then some more.

Please don’t feel alone, all it takes is to pick up the phone and confess this is now ‘you’

Recovery in whatever misuse circumstances, you are strong enough to pursue.

16th October 2024

We all started somewhere

We all have a beginning 

And that shall also lead to an end,

Don’t worry, what I am about to say for the rest of the words, shall simply transcend.

The changing of our hearts

The trauma some of us may all have to face,

These are often heightened arguments, which take place

Say a prayer before you allow speed to overcome haste.

We are all loved by God

And yes, he faces many questions from ourselves in the end

Looking to ask ‘why this and that happened’

And of moments where our heads have been dampened.

We lose the people we love,

We ‘well wish’, those who don’t understand us,

And yet importantly, yes, most importantly it’s God that we need to trust.

Jason 

15th October 2024

Exercise and Faith

Pray on during an enduring run

It’s uplifting, spiritual and it can be also fun.

The drive brings you light

The path leads to a fight,

There’s no turning back when you train

Looking at it objectively, the spirit needs to continue in order to sustain.

I lift the weights, once accomplished it’s an amazing feat

It’s my belief in God which refuses any form of defeat,

So I breathe in and then I breathe out

Is worth clapping your hands, that’s what it’s all about.

Believe in yourself

And yes there will be times you won’t be sure,

Exercise and faith shall encourage you that little bit more.

Jason

15th October 2024

Back then

In the past we didn’t have a smart phone

Things were done that little bit slower and a bit more grace

Now we speed up and fall on our face.

Back then we took our time

We spoke that little bit  slower,

You didn’t need to go at speed

Now we rely on our phones… an element of our needs.

People are now far more impatient 

They talk a good talk but don’t follow it through,

That doesn’t apply to every one, just like the methodical ones… which is myself and you.

Today we are too fast

The speed of talking is quite intense,

We are desensitised to surroundings 

Where in the past we stopped, looked and reflected 

A moment to contemplate the next move which will soon be detected.

I will see you again

Believe it or not 

It ends in heaven, where earth is the first stop,

Looking to those you think you have lost

This couldn’t be more far away the truth, there are moments of cost.

Praying to God

And giving your heart,

Living for tomorrow, not knowing where it will take

Acknowledging the Father in heaven, there is an initial moment when you shall break.

The people who you love… are right ‘here’ in your ‘soul’

There is no need to fight, allow the tears to come out as you grow

The people that brought you warmth and a smile to your face

Yes, It is sad they are no longer here, but the cheers are shouted to embrace.

We shall see these people again….God has promised,

The soul is real, the people we can’t see now is only temporary, yet reliant 

Through supplication and prayer you shall become defiant.

Grandad

A new day, my loving Grandson

The time has passed but I am still here,

The world stills continues, and one day we shall see each other for a coffee, rum or beer.

I am proud of you,

I am looking out for you everyday,

God is focusing on you too, my words always remain alive still to this day.

You are my grandchild 

A man who is now walking this path in this life,

A humble man in Jesus, who has partnered through the Father’s divine.

Thank you for being you,

I am always here to say hello,

It’s never a goodbye my friend and my grandchild

The path you walk is towards your new home… heaven… you shall be at peace and never at all riled.

“Clive my brother, a poem from your Grandad🙏🏽”

13th October 2024

Speak to God.. you will then smile

You will be lifted

Even blessed and gifted,

The Lord utmost high, 

despite what you think you shall break and then smile.

Lord you make me smile

You test me with the gifts you gave,

Through you I am no longer a slave.

You make me smile

For quite a while, 

No form of intelligence can out do your worth

As you are the first and the last….and shall no burst.

You lift me with hope

You take away the tears,

You love me unconditionally 

My sins have been forgiven irrefutably.

“We all have gifts.., just thank the Lord for them x”

Jason

13th October 2024

You are never alone

God? Speak to me..

I know you are there,

There is plenty to say, but there are acts that I choose to share.

God? Where are you?

You give me free will to manage my choice,

If I do pray, then I know through you I shall have a voice.

God? The time is right

I need to get out of this rut and enter into a more healthier fight.

I know you are there 

Pessimists I refuse to speak, 

God you are the anchor for which we should all look to seek.

Jason

13th October 2024

Slow down.. God’s got this

You are here

Don’t worry if you release a tear,

God is patiently waiting 

No other form of earthly needs part of this debating.

Be at peace 

Pray from afar if you choose not to stay in others presence,

Learning to move forward rather than staying in unnecessary decadence.

You are here loving 

Showing signs to lift,

If you speak negativity, I rather not have your gift.

I want peace 

To be with a team that motivates the heart,

If you hide all possibilities from which I can learn and attain, 

The exposure of living is gainfully pertained.

Jason

12th October 2024

Youth

Youth?

Pray for them

Stay with them

Increase there love and endurance that’s so high

They look to God and never say: “why”.

They are young 

but soon they shall reach our age,

This will be their platform as well as their stage.

They are beautiful

Encourage, and they shall reach their goals,

It won’t be about race or politics, those topics simply causes plenty of blows.

It’s about praying for them,

Keeping their elevation of faith

Not daring the unnecessary, and through God there is plenty of haste.

Jason

12th October 2024

God? speak to us all

God please speak to us all

Those who refuse, are unable to pick themselves up from when they do fall.

God love us

I know your love is like thirst from a well

Once consumed, the blessings received we are able to tell.

God your love is like no other

A blessing removes the demons who attack

As the devil is deceitful and shall heap pressure on your back.

God I know you love us

All we need to do is pray,

Our hands rejoice and then our hearts through you lead the way.

Jason 

11th October 2024

Holding on

Life is more than holding on

We look to avoid the mistakes where it could, or does go wrong.

I said to a friend:’how did I reach this place?”

People judging and are no longer their,

Or a stand out person? Who knew how to manage and was able to care.

Praying to God is a source to release many blessings,

The time with him is humbling and no time for messing,

A blessed team to love and support one other

The strength of God is inside of each of us, my sister and brother.

‘Holding on’ can reverse to a strength

Love of Christ is hope as a new page turns,

Looking towards the future is simply a prayer from where we can all learn.

Jason

10th October 2024

Blessing you today

Humility 

Hope

Love and the lead to prayer

Breaking for a new spirit, the Lord is is there to share.

Light

Darkness removed to see a new you,

No longer looking for compliments,  or a pat on the back 

The moment you spend time with God should never slack.

Sadness

Self pity, feelings to get a way out 

The Father in heaven is the one who loves you despite the sin you have amount.

Love is inside you

Don’t look away, 

If there’s the hope of a new start, may the heavens enlighten your way.

^Jason 

^{9th October 2024}

Mistakes and forgiveness

You need a calm presence

No manic behaviour, you are no good to anyone when that takes place

There is a time to be calm and time to be proactive that delves plenty of haste.

We have all messed up

It’s about learning, that’s the philosophical aim,

Stop beating yourself up, that’s when you look to wane.

We all have strengths and weaknesses

We all have lengths which eventually releases, 

So be kind to yourself, despite the fools who exist

The love of faith is something I can always miss.

Please don’t beat yourself up

There is no need for that,

Hold me close Lord, I know you have mine and others back

There is a passage of hope, which through prayer no one is able to slack.

Jason

8th October 2024

Tired but fighting

I strongly encourage for you need to pray each day 

Some of you will understand this act

Some just wither and and could aim to detach.

Prayer is kindness

And prayer can bring you strength, 

Prayer breaks through the darkness, as the light releases any sign of intense. 

Prayer is your love

It holds you when all doesn’t seem to be going right,

Prayer is the love of your enemy, and deflect the devil the ability to bite.

Prayer is your friend and won’t let you go

Prayer is your master piece, it will balance you and neither make you go fast, or slow.

Jason

8th October 2024

As my eyes see

Yes, the walk of faith is as easy or as hard as it treads

You find this enlightenment, through the challenges you look to amend.

The prayers takes place

The eyes close, the heart surrenders through the darkness which has taken place,

Then the light touches the heart, as the Father’s love has a detecting trace.

I love you my friend

I love the hope that the Father has in store,

What’s important is that you want the blessings the Father gives that little bit more.

So as you reflect

And see life passing you by,

Look to the source of positivity, the devil is too fickle to know his demise.

Jason

7th October 2024

As I dream

I wake up and I do say a prayer

Even those I don’t want around, in my heart I do truly care.

We need to learn life isn’t fair, it never has been,

So we keep fighting, asking questions to turn a difficult situation right

Sometimes you need to remain still and allow God to fight.

I love to hug

And I do love to care,

Didn’t I mention I like a prayer? Not just for me, but for the ones whose moments that I’ve shared.

Yes, I believe in God, for me that important in my growth

A leap of faith is heightening, not saying I won’t face any other woes?

I pray for your wishes to become true

Look to the light through the darkness you faced,

There is a powerful source out there we should look to embrace.

Hello my birthday boy

Hello fella it’s your time again

1984, 5th October this guy fell from the heavens, 

With lightening humour and flamboyant charm

A kind heart with protection to do no one else any harm. 

Funny and witty 

Simply a joy to be around, 

He is good lad in all

and does his best to prevent anyone else to fall. 

He is called “momma bear” to his friends 

With razor sharp humour to lift others spirit,

There is peace in Anthony, with a laidback way for all he cares within it.

Camp and funny, simply one of a kind

My favourite line from my brother: “You have diabetes  it’s fashionable”…

That may made me calm and chuckle, and taught myself to become adaptable.

“Happy birthday Anthony”

How we are remembered

The day shall come when the heavens open and we shall finally be at peace,

Looking to the angels and skies and going to a new home,

Prayers are wonderful and shall never leave you alone. 

My time is to be God and people who are no longer here,

But it’s always God’s timing when I am suppose to leave, that belief I need to endear. 

I pray each day

For friend and even those I do no like,

The angst won’t help you, as the devil can get on their bike. 

Be at peace with all people

We are all work in progress at the end of the day, 

My peace is to stay with God, and when he speaks to me I know I shall need to stay.

Yiayia and ol’ man

I recall the times my Dad spoke about my Nan

Stories he said, when he took her out for a shandy and he’ll have a pint, 

During the beautiful times of the East End height.

He is now with her, probably having a black coffee (three sugars) and she will have a cup of tea,

I can see their faces now, which brings solace inside of me.

I see them smiling, laughing and chatting away

Just happy memories, which in my heart shall remain.

I love them as I feel them right ‘here’

Praying to God for peace as I have nothing else to fear.

The kindness they showed and wanting to give

Despite this treacherous world we live today, 

Their spirit inside us provides me hope to the day I’ll see them where we shall chat and be okay.

Praying to stay strong

We have all been there

A place you feel you cannot leave,

Or perhaps there’s no way out?

Pray to the almighty who is always about.

Go pass the tears 

No shame to show that weakness,

Release is what’s needed

Breaking to restore us often leads us into becoming interseded.

Love and pray

Your tools to get out of any mess,

And confess with your heart to the Father you shan’t treat you any less.

There is a time to heal

And that is now, 

Don’t overthink

Don’t lose hope

Read the book of ‘Job’ he too was hanging from a rope.

“Love and love”

That music in your ear

So you recall that piece music in your ear?

‘The eye of the tiger’ the piece that refused you to fear.

You in face a battle 

And it possesses musical release,

You go on the rowing machine and tame your inner beast.

You are stronger than you give yourself credit

You so have the strength and prayer to keep going on,

Trust me I have been there, through that mist of a place that I don’t belong.

The theme of superman 

That is my kind of uplifting sound,

I just want to get better, through these unprecedented challenges that have surround.

Healthy individuality

We are all so different when it comes to our health

I have diabetes, type 1, which produces no insulin,

I learn from my condition for a moment of transitioning.

I fight hypos every day

People who say ‘they can’t cope’, leave me alone,

You can’t do anything apart from saying your mere perspective, so please allow me to groan.

The condition calms me, but don’t let me waiver 

I am crying for sugar in abundance, trust me that’s not my entire saviour.

I learn to keep calm and try let erratic people dangle 

They couldn’t live with my type 1 diabetes condition, as health you don’t take slightly when you try to take a handle. 

Health is the most importantly thing

Especially when mental health challenges the soul,

It’s not about spirit, it’s about how you flow.

Benefit of hindsight

We cannot live in hindsight

Others may remind us of ‘that fall’,

Yet still, through prayer there is a chance to receive that call.

Don’t beat yourself up

Others are in a queue to do that on your behalf,

This is your life we are talking about, and that isn’t a joke or a laugh.

Let the gossipers gossip

That know nothing but the lack of depth through that voice,

They need prayer and forgiveness too,

There are chances they should receive a clue.

Go and get ‘em

Don’t let the wise to be your fool,

The humbleness of that dark place, is to reflect, remain calm… yes… play it cool.
