Light minded people

There are political people

And there are light minded souls,

The latter is helpful when overcoming the blows.

Life is hard

We all know that by now,

Serious people gripe me, 

for these people are caring but don’t seek answers to see.

I avoid people who are serious

So I walk this path alone,

I came into this earth on my own 

And leave it just the same 

Blessed are those who I meet, for I am just as much contained.

I see the humour 

I see the comedy in tragedy,

Serious people, I pray for you, as you speak sadness and see the world with all its troubles 

I rather laugh, which makes me see the light through all the tremor and muddles.

A healthy past

We laughed

We cried

We looked at humour objectively and refused to sigh.

We had Morecambe and Wise

And Larry Grayson with: “shut that door”,

Very uplifting and a little bit more.

England struggled in the football since that epic victory in 1966,

The Brazilians performed artistry… just like the Dutch

And showed the game of peace that spiritual touch.

McEnroe, Connors and Borg took the centre court stage 

Their tennis talents entertained the world through many skills that was a wide range.

TV programme were scheduled 

And there was teletext or ceefax to tell us the latest 

And we learned off each other through periods that was safest.

We learned the hard way

Pen, paper and a radio to keep us sane,

As opening a newspaper brought us contentment and politics to refrain.

London Town

London Town 

A place full of love and praise, 

Yes, you do believe in God and it just isn’t a phase.

London Town the place I see with love and hope

Yes, it’s extremely busy place, eccentric and enlightening 

It’s the place you found God, that’s what I call exciting!

A birthday you found a spirit

A levitation which only God can muster,

It’s the light of London Town which illuminates the spiritual cluster. 

Thank you God for another breath Lorna breathes and another year on earth, 

Blessed are you sister, for all the gifts you are blessedly worth.

“Happy birthday sister Lorna xxx”

Not for all seasons

It’s in the bible in the book of John, chapter 13, verse 34

“Love one another as I have always loved you” 

There are seasons where we can fall out with each other, so pray afar from the place you ensue. 

Look to you, if someone is not good for you then take a step back and pray; Matthew 5:44,

Look towards your life to do good and only debate unless necessary, and if that person is prepared to listen,

There you shall receive respect and not over talking each other… conversations at that point becomes a mission. 

You look at the world 

We all know we are facing trying times, 

Praying endlessly for this planet to become more stable 

As long we are untied we shall be also able. 

But trust involves having the right people in your heart,

Pray for them

Edify their needs 

Don’t control them, leave them be 

The world needs you to take initiative, from the higher power you shall be set free.

Jason

When drink took over

The place of ‘free will’ is so true

Pick up a drink, which is so easy and relaxing,

Or going to the Gym, which can be arduous and distracting.

I messed up 

My Dad went to heaven and I left the health service after 21 years, 

I was in the mire and had so many fears.

The drink was easy to go to,

A glass of whisky or a can of Guinness to ease the pain,

And I also moved homes because my Dad wasn’t there, 

these emotions were difficult to contain and share. 

But you must fight through, and never give in

It’s God’s decision when it’s decided to be with him. 

It’s not about losing 

It’s about putting the drink down and leave that side of you behind, 

None of us are getting younger, especially when the heavens open and there shall finally be peace of mind. 

“God spoke to me and these words flew from my heart and mind”

Jason

31st July 2025

I am who I am

You can’t change or can you

Do you break into faith and seek the life God wanted you to pursue.

Being a kind person is harder on this earth thank you think

Your patience tested and people seeking hope

Then again, learn to be patient and stop dangling from a rope.

Keep trying 

Keep asking questions, especially “what’s it all about?”

Perhaps surround yourself humbly around a life that’s worth a shout.

Be kind to your neighbour 

Despite the rage they may possess,

Praying for them helps the cause, and don’t settle for anything less.

Be the original you

No one can turn your next page, 

Remember, this is your life…as well as your stage.

Jason

31st July 2025

Just for one day

Just for one day I would like to see how we would cope if we were all nice to each other, 

Just like the pandemic which brought us closer and people needed to become a bit calmer.

These were times we all needed to play our part…

But it was a chance for us to look out for each other as it was like being part of a film, 

Yet our thoughts of survival gave us a tremendous amount of ‘free will.’

Anyway, going back to basics; wouldn’t it be nice to be nice,

Have a laugh and say what you feel 

And not everyone was precious through remarks that ‘then’ became a deal. 

I suppose the world isn’t in a good place because the division is too wide, 

The issue becomes so big that people will start to ignore, 

Leading to avoidance as the uncomfortable releases a roar!

Remember ‘love’ always wins

And it always will, 

Remember what doesn’t kill you will make you become stronger 

As this life today extends that little bit longer.

Jason

31st July 2025

Dad… Where are you?

Dad? Are you there?

Me: Yes, I am… in your heart that I share.

Dad, I know you had to leave

As I thank God for allowing me to believe.

Dad: Don’t worry, you shall be fine.

Me: It’s hard that you are hear to speak to right now. 

Dad: Talk to me anytime, remember the jokes we tried saying.. but failed.

Me: I miss you man, why ain’t you fucking here? I am in a complete mess, 

Yes the people I am surrounded with are okay,

But they are not you, sorry for being selfish and wanted you to stay.

Dad: Shut your face you silly sod, we shall meet again

Me: So why not now? As I miss the time you use to talk to make my ear bend. 

Dad: Don’t worry J, all shall be okay just look after yourself as the tears shall soon go away.

Me: Okay, its never goodbye as each morning I say ‘hello Dad, have a nice day’.

Dad: Just remember you are still my son, and I love you… right?

Be kind to yourself as I am watching over you, through the dark nights and the days which are bright.

Speaking to my younger self

Would I have done things differently?

Perhaps!

Did you like yourself back then?

It’s hard to fathom the person you shall turn out, especially when you were 10!

I would say, you are doing well but please take your time

Remember you are loved by God, as your hand is next to mine. 

I would have been more patient 

I would have stopped more and go with the flow, 

I would have argued less and let the wisdom from my elders show. 

I could have had better parents?

But then again they were kids themselves,

You are never on your own as you can always seek spiritual wealth. 

You had plenty of time back then

Now you are slowing down a little bit, you have the knowledge to transcend. 

If I wrote another poem about this subject next time round…

I wouldn’t let others affect my mood when I speak to my younger self,

All I know is that God puts you on a path towards acknowledging your spiritual wealth.

Jason

30th July 2025

Speaking to my older self

Just come back from the gym 

Felt good but there are so many trials,

My age group are such miserable sods

They are impatient and want to get the last word in

And the bloody politics discussed… well that can enter into the bin!

I am tired and need my afternoon nap

And the amount of pills I have to take just to go for a crap.

I am more content as time has whizzed by

I have met some lovely people and some I am pleased to have said ‘goodbye’.

As I get closer to heaven

It’s been a journey which has been varied and very emotional,

But then again I am so pleased God rescued, the spirit is where I am truly devotional. 

So as I end these words on a high

I was once young now I am old, but not past my best

Just like when I was a child and witnessed music at its refined best. 

“Letter to my young self”

Jason 

30th July 2025

Not everyone is for everyone

Not everyone is for somebody,

It’s simply about connection 

Keep your distance 

Keep your heart and mind

Some people are for you, and some can be dismissed 

The argumentative ones I rather not put on my Christmas card list.

I rather speak to light minded people

Not people I have to be careful what I want to say,

Those serious types are not for me, I’ll politely go away.

 

I rather be with people who are joyful

At this stage that are far and few between,

Talking topics on the news which can cause debate

I rather dismiss their conversation, rather be put in a state.

People are varied and that what’s make the world go round,

I rather learn and be allowed to speak my point of view

Rather than someone looking for a debate and later say ‘they don’t have a clue’.

Jason

30th July 2025

Disruptive moods

Equilibrium most of us  are aseeking to find

Those Neanderthals who gas away, can tax your gentle mind.

All that noise and people wonder how mental health is held,

That blood noise is simply the cause we want to dispel.

People chip away and don’t really care

They think they won’t be on the receiving end, honestly we can feel the shudder of despair.

It’s finding that safe place

A place where we need to laugh and be kind,

Debates are necessary but leave me out of them, they can cause harm… don’t you find?

I rather be left alone 

I rather read the stuff I want to read,

Those confrontational people I always prefer to leave. 

I am in a safe place

The place where conversations I do not need to entertain,

But then again, unless I am passionate about the content, otherwise I prefer to refrain.

“Peace”

Jason

30th July 2025

Always look at the chance

Don’t let this life slip

Learn to hold on, where a Serenity prayer provides you a grip.

A new page turns 

This takes place each day,

It may not be going right at this moment in time

Discern on your thoughts, prayers shall become divine.

Look to hope and don’t look back

Prayers are the way forward, they are real… as none of us should ever slack.

Keep trying

And keep praying for those who cannot see,

Learn to stay with God, he shan’t allow you to flee.

The chance is love

Love doesn’t hold you back,

If you fall down, ignore the nay sayers who said “I told you so”

This is your time now, so go with the flow.

Jason 

29th July 2025

Today.. forever

Today will become bright

Today you shall endure an overcoming of a spiritual fight,

Let me tell you, you shall never be alone

You are held by God importantly, who one day you shall see on the throne.

You are here because you wanted to get this far

Also God has wanted you to see his next steps,

Praise the powers from the Father within

As there is hope for you, as ‘free will’ is a chance for you to bring.

Today you shall see the light you possess 

Because you allowed God in your heart, where you are able to be blessed.

Be kind to your soul

Be humble to your thoughts and heart,

Love is real and shall never leave, it goes only because you refuse

This is about togetherness, no division… those conversations you shall lose.

Jason

30th July 2025

Stay with a prayer

Say a prayer 

That’s all it takes,

Yes the problems shall be there, but all of a sudden with God in your heart all shall awake.

So easy to have a drink

So easy to snort a line, 

You are God’s child after all

You have come this far despite your endless stall.

Say a prayer 

Always love God first,

Our time on this earth is precious; for all that we witness despite how good or bad

The heavens shall one day open, from that day you shan’t feel at all sad.

We live to spread love not hate

Yes, have fun embrace the time with each other,

And despite we ain’t meant to get along 

Remember in faith we shall all find a path to belong. 

Jason

29th July 2025

Everyday we try

Never lose focus

Yet, I appreciate it’s easy to do,

Life wasn’t meant to be simple, yet life doesn’t always provide you with the necessary clue.

The kick takes place

Looking for that moment when eyes are wide shut,

There is always that moment, if there is a ‘is’ or a ‘but’.

I give God thanks that I am still here

The dangerous situations I put myself in, plus the depths of the fear.

You are trying so remind yourself that fighting is key

Sobriety is a positive, so stick to it… you’ll soon again be able to see.

Life is here 

Yesterday can’t be reclaimed at all,

Remember the time we embraced this journey needs to have it’s goodbyes

Hope springs eternal as tears are released from the eyes.

Jason

28th July 2025

When did it all go wrong?

Time can’t be reclaimed 

Therefore speak the serenity prayer, 

Times are very challenging, it’s not with God who I despair.

We argue about a man whose names begins with a ‘T’

He has an impossible job, the simple fact we choose to be free.

No more cynicism 

No more pain,

No more political chat, through these times there seems there’s nothing to gain.

More people than we can manage 

We are internalising and going against each other… ruthless damage my sister and brother.

People are divided 

Which obviously hurts the course,

Stop and reset, wipe all the policies out and correct this mess

Focus on the higher power a place which prayerfully removes this current distress.

Jason

28th July 2025

Thank you for today

Thank you for today

And thank you for this life

Thank you this uplift poem to remove any form of strife.

Thank you for the people I’ve met

For the period I’ve got up know them, and where my eyes reset.

I thank you for this journey taken on earth

A place where the son of God arrived to save us all,

Taking on the gentiles and Pharisees who thought they knew much better

And overcame challenging times from a humbling letter.

Thank you for taking the time to bring us hope

Edifying through the presence of God’s walk,

I am not here to argue or seek advice

I am remaining still and listening to others speak

Yet I know in my heart, it’s reflection is what I seek.

Jason 

28th July 2025

Believe in your dreams

Dreams can become true

England’s belief to capture a second successive title win which we prayed and imbued.

The road to victory was achieved with grit, hope and love

Women of England fighting every step of the way,

Their determination and elevation when needed brought home the trophy once again.

Their heads never down

They kept moving forward, a great example of hope,

The Spanish gave it their best shot

But it was the Lionnesses passion that we witnessed, and fiercely got.

Victory achieving through Chloe Kelly, who fired the final shot into the back of the net,

A second successive trophy which these amazing women captured.. when they focused and refused to fret. 

‘Well done Lionnesses for a second successive Euros win’

Jason 

27th July 2025

Learning each day

No two days are the same 

You are humbled… and not lame.

Stop saying what you are shite at doing

You are created by the almighty high; so now show em’ what you are pursuing.

Stop saying negative vibes

The world is broken enough but we still have survived.

It’s not all misery and gloom

Look to the hope of your soul 

That’s a good place to start… so now flow.

We are here for a short life time, which can be short or long,

So face the challenges and build to become strong.

We shall have highs and lows 

As long you are humbled, you’ll start to grow.

Jason

27th July 2025

Addictive thoughts

It’s sad what happens in life

Yet today I went to a narcotics meeting and felt revived

We all deserve a chance, as long we are fighting, 

And shall come through this test through pasts surviving.

I am here

So I fucked up,

Do not judge me, as the authorities have held me to account 

I am now here having my hand held 

No matter how often I have disappointed myself and others through the times I have felled.

I did love the kick

However, the trial and recovery awaits,

The forthcoming shall overcome my fate.

I am not here not to gossip 

I am here to repair and keep trying,

God willing as I have now made the first step… which you need to celebrate and avoid denying.

Jason

26th July 2025

Getting there

Where are we going?

What passage do we want face?

Are we happy, sad or balanced in thought?

As long I long I say my prayers for those I love and I am not for them

I can hope and pray the height we ascend.

Free from pain

Free from overthinking and genuinely being scared, 

Looking towards a new future as the past can be dragged back; where it’s already declared.

We believe through a prayer

We believe through the chance we face,

Time with God can occur in any place. 

Peace with God

Comes with peace within you,

That’s why I edify you my friend, that this is the passage you have free will to choose.

Jason 

25th July 2025

Born for your destiny

You are here breathing, either slowly, fast or relaxed in the essence for hope

Your path is awaiting goodness, overcoming a temporary slope.

You are here

Give me that hug!

We have all struggled and deeply fought

All that matters through the higher power is what we captured from what we have been taught.

The tears leave the eyes 

Saying there is a good as God takes the ones we love through timely goodbyes.

No one can stay here forever 

As we are all asking questions to simply survive,

Some like politics

Some embrace love,

Some embrace both 

I know we all look for infectious word which is ‘hope’.

The hope, and simply the will to fight

Continues with laughter held in our lungs,

Prayers shall come with your next move 

Souls are touched.. and one thing for certain, you shan’t ever lose 

Jason 

26th July 2025

Despite the trials

Despite the trials

Despite the falls

Only the Father in heaven can make you feel tall.

No human spirit can define the higher power

The gift is given by faith,

The time you pray

That time you remain still

I understand you are the edifice who prevents us to kill.

You are the light 

Despite the trails from when we are attacked,

No one can deny us, especially when the high power has got our back.

We can overthink and procrastinate why?

I rather say nothing, as I know I shall see the Father in heaven when I eventually die.

It can be scary out there 

People attacking from every word that you say,

Serious people need to take a chill pill, as often ask “what a hug?” As afterwards I shall pray.

Jason

25th July 2025

Maybe perhaps?

“Maybe perhaps”

A friend of mine often says,

“Perhaps you could do this or that?”

Go away, as a wind up I can see on the cards, which doesn’t humble or relax.

 

Perhaps the light is dark?

And perhaps the dark is light?

I suggest asking the right person,

As the conversation ‘stops’ and could be a burden!

Perhaps the world is round 

Perhaps the answer is in the question?

Perhaps you need to take a step back and actually study 

finding the answer is often with the provoker whose laziness if find the answer is a tad fuzzy.

Perhaps you need to take a step back

Perhaps you need to start learning,

Actually I know the person with the answer

Then again the question is prevalent; but if I choose to reply 

Then often I say ‘I don’t know… now goodbye.’

Jason

24th July 2025

A Romans 8:18….poem

Despite the suffering 

And despite the pain,

God has got this, from which the great book explains.

Despite the fog

Despite what we now see,

One day the heavens shall open.. and we shall all become feee.

We need to look forward and accept in our hearts

Don’t blame me if all I am doing is praying for hope 

I don’t want any of us tripping or looking to gloat.

Yes…There shall be suffering 

But nothing can be compared to the glory that awaits,

Leave your peace with God, he shall overcome those who hates.

Jason 

23rd July 2025

When we keep trying

We must believe..

There is hope that people will treat others with kindness when tears are washed away

We know these are strenuous moments we currently face

But if we prayed… wouldn’t it lighten our soul?

And the blessings from heaven, can be everything to show.

A friend asked me once:”what is your gift?”

I said it was writing poetry and sending it for all the world to see

A moment to lift rather than drag others down 

Is so edifying, so stop ingesting negativity to astound.

We keep trying 

As none of us are ever alone,

Only God knows what we are facing

And the moments of worship are both humbling and embracing.

Today is a new start 

Move forward, leave on good terms and pray from the heart.

God brings you joy, gives you direction and sight 

And forever hopeful as the day shall soon follow from the night.

Jason

24th July 2025

A prayer for us all

In a world where division showing 

Does that make it right? Refusing us to unite as we are all growing.

Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, Gay or straight

Weren’t we suppose to love each other, instead of looking to hate.

I know love was created by God

A spirit, our spirit.. even though the Father is often denied

A calm world of solace is all it takes for those who have cried.

People perish 

But people also live,

Does it really matter who you are… through the love God has offered in our gift.

Jason

24th July 2025

You get to a point…

Title: You get to a point…

To get to a stage and you simply ask”why?”

You remember what your parents said long ago?

Which was: “You will be where I am one day” 

Then you get it….as peace is what you need to crave.

You hear the news 

And turn the television off,

Yes we do need to fight and find our inner peace,

Once the status of a ‘pronoun’ wasn’t a talking point, we discussed famine to humble the feast.

Be at peace with God

That’s all you need to do,

The father in heaven didn’t promise us a easy life

It’s sometimes about balance with your husband or wife.

Be at peace with you 

You are the most important person you wake up to each day, 

Remember people will have their opinions, but it is the spirit of heaven is where your heart and head shall stay.

Jason

23rd July 2025

A letter to my old self

Title: Letter to my old self ✍🏽

Hello you

How have you been?

Working through the mess you made?

Or does the new you know how to combat the tirade?

Hey you!

How have you been?

I am doing very well…thanks 

No drink or drugs, or over thinking 

Gone are the days when we were simply sinking.

I am okay, doing courses and supporting the community,

Trying to work past the old me

As the world I am in now clearer to see.

You see this letter is about reflection

I know in the higher power there is hope to capture perfection.

That time I found the new me 

That time I finally needed to knock this on the head;

It’s 2026 now and I am writing a letter to the old me

Which resonates with that famous saying from Muhammed Ali, which goes: “Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, the eyes can’t touch what the hands CAN’T see”

“Thanks Pauline xxx”

Jason

22nd July 2025

Look in the mirror

Not everyone is for you

And you are not for everyone as well..

Accepting this is humbling and light 

Not caring what others think prohibits an unnecessary fight.

Say your prayers first to start every day

And I know life can take over, and you may miss those set of words,

Stop and reflect, there is always time to go back and listen to wisdom for which you have already heard.

Your light is your gift

Your light is your way, 

Your light is your prosperity 

Your belief in the higher power is your spiritual longevity. 

You, seek the light 

You seek the life and the way. 

You remove negative thoughts and people who do not believe in the higher power

You are first a child from God who has gifts to offer

Don’t let people put you off, free and own your mind and refute anyone to cause bother. 

Jason

22nd July 2025

Little wins

It was crazy

I wanted to have a go,

I stood my ground, then I stopped.. no more blows.

Haven’t I been in a battle?

Fuckig hell, this road ain’t half long?

I want to turn wrong into right

And have the correct kind of fight. 

Writing a gratitude list 

Saying all the good thing I have done for the week or the day,

I do look to the heavens, and ask: “Shall I be okay?”

It’s been hard

Fucking nuts in fact,

Don’t thank the writer for putting these words together 

Yes, they are bright but not always clever.

The higher power asked me to write this for you Louise,

You are a blessing from the skies 

Thank you for your gratifying ways, and constant attempt to try.”

“To my friend Louise… God bless”

Jason 

21st July 2025

Florenza

Today I feel sad

People I love and no longer here,

One day we shall meet in heaven and see the light

god has protectors all around, through the day of the night.

Yiayia… well she was the best

An angel she called me, but that is what she was to I

Tears of Jupiter rising, as I feel hope in a moment for which I cry.

She was kindness 

Never said a back stabbing word, 

Loved by all the people she touched 

And my love for her is beyond the stars… yes! That much.

She said goodbye 

But inside my heart she never went that far,

The heavens open up our spirit, my Florenza, Yiayia mou.. my angel and perennial star.

“Yiayia (Grandmother) Florenza who was taken to heaven in 1994”

The Angel 😇 in our Denise

What a gorgeous spirit my Auntie Denise…

It’s been 28 years since the Angels from heaven took her away,

She was lovely my Thea Despo, days like these I want her to be present and simply stay.

Then again she is here looking inside our hearts,

Looking over her son Demetrious his wife and Kyri, Alexander, and Stav 

Leaving behind a legacy behind which encompass tremendous determination 

Our memories are fondness and possess sound realisation.

She ‘is’ beautiful and ever so kind

And no nonsense, which I also find, 

She allowed me to stay at her home when I was feeling down

I know one day the skies will open and we shall all grin and know we haven’t lost but found.

God took her too soon

And her angelic face I can still see now, 

May the eyes of God protect her son, his wife and grandchildren on this day and many others ahead 

Goodnight Thea, see you in the morning, these words I lay comfortably as I lay on my bed.

“To Despo, mother to Demetrious and wonderful Auntie too xx”

Live for today

Holding back is often the case

You may said “F.ck it” this part of you, you need to embrace?

Life is to live

Be at peace with you and then God first,

Like a wishing well, you will eventually find the water when you are in thirst. 

Live for today

Carp dieme

No doubts just do..

None of us at the end of day have a holistic clue. 

Exercise and pray

Cobwebs shall soon go away.

Be nice to you first and learn how to celebrate your small wins

The higher power is talking to you always, so avoid that nonsense…. You know? That word ‘sin’.

Jason

21st July 2025

Why the chaos?

Is chaos easier?

Is chaos your friend?

Can’t we be a little sensible, rather than the madness that is felt that we comprehend. 

I suppose life shall pose challenges

And a release is needed when too much information enters the brain, 

Living a balanced life of humility, it’s through prayer and meditation is what we can retain. 

The chaos can be dangerous, yet it’s a place we often go

Are we are looking for something to happen to our lives? or is that raucous place is where we grow.

Can’t people embrace calmness 

That’s a more positive place to harness. 

Yes a joke is great when the mood is low

A sense of humour is an open vessel which needs to grow.

We are a child of God, and he made us this way after all

We look to connect, but on occasions you simply fall. 

Some people you want to talk too, 

And some you can’t 

Start a group, or a hobby… something to give you structure and make you smile…

75 years on average we live on this earth… and that can be quite a while. 

Jason

21st July 2025

Nothing can be perfect

Simply do your best that’s all you can do

Remember you are a ‘beautiful’ work in progress through the times you ensue.

Thing may not have gone according to plan

Yet, life throws its curve balls as excitement enters the fray,

Just remember we are all ‘work in progress’ and none of us on this earth can stay.

Remember you have been given a life, so show the world what you have got

No more ‘I am alone’ or ‘what a shame’

Time to move forward, you are your own example… so don’t be lame.

Yes, feel troubled… then do speak your mind

Then look for a solution to find a positive feeling

This world shall always have its demands, so beginning the healing.

Jason

21st July 2025

Sleepy head

Wake up….wake up today we shall meet

Thank you for all your encouragement, now where are my treats!

Wake up….wake up I pray that you are well

I am holding onto hope, for the next poem for which I’ll tell.

Wake up….wake up

Today is the start of a new week,

A clean slate and a positive day

Avoid those pessimists.. they can simply go away.

Know life has its ups and downs

I’ll wake up and pray for what I can get…

Remain positive, and let go of the sadness… which we all better forget!

A chat with Dad

Dad: Alright my Jay jay?

Son: Don’t give me that! Why did you go away?

Dad: I never left… I am still here

Son: then why can’t I see you? Am I blind?

Dad: I am right in your heart you silly git

Son: So why can’t I be with you… as my eyes then lit.

Dad: Love lasts forever, you know that

Son: Why did you leave us…you grumpy t#!t!

Dad: I know you are strong enough to deal with this…

Son: F*ck off Dad! Are you taking the piss?

Dad: Love lasts forever, none of us know how to manage these times when ‘that’ day arrives ..

Son: I make you right, it’s taking time to keep this life where God brought alive.

Dad: I am here, that’s all you need to know..

Dad: I have faith in you son… I reassure you, and that you shall never be alone.

Keeping it real

We try to keep it real

Some of us are put in positions where authority needs to decide;

Now, I am inbetween jobs, despite the struggles which has caused me to collide.

I am happy because I am closer to God

I am happy because I want to shine a light which God put on me, 

I am a mere vessel on this planet, only here for so long and happy as I try to be. 

I try not to shit stir on others, I leave that for others to do. 

They are picking on the wrong person if they tried that with me!

I make them think, or if that are that absent minded they wouldn’t know how to become free!

Today rained and later the sun saved the day

As long you are at peace with God, and your heart, then humbleness through silence has plenty to say. 

Jason

20th July 2025

Every day

Every day I thank God for all that he has done 

The times to move forward, isn’t grouped but comes from the power of one.

I thank the Father for the air that I breathed

I thank the Father for everyone to be okay

And that dreams stay as dreams, from on the clouds from which I shall oneday lay.

I thank the Father for those people in my life

And a solid goodbye from those who aimed to cause strife.

I thank the Father for the good times for which I have held

And the sadness which caused me to have felled.

I thank you for the calmness which enters my heart

I thank you for the wisdom which spiritually exists

And for the people who are no longer here… and for which I have always miss.

When the light shines

You see life can be a laugh

We all have different types of humour, 

Some cruel, which is full of intent 

Like alcohol all going for a moment which is hell bent.

We see the light and life is like a journey,

Ultimately these are words of encouragement, truly worthy. 

Love is there 

Strength is not too far behind,

Remember these words..’which are towards you? And aim to be simply kind’.

The light is near 

It can also be far, 

Words expressed never leave the heart and the mind,

It’s your solace.. your kindness towards yourself which you ultimately need to find…

Jason

19th July 2025

Journey

It’s part of the plan

Remain still, don’t lose your cool

Avoid that trap to look like a fool.

Sorry, I didn’t want to say those words 

We are in this together, so there’s no turning back

So you have fucked up. 

What are you going to do?… keep blaming yourself ?

Leave this behind you…that’s right? on the top of the shelf. 

Hate leads to a path none of use could see

Say your prayers and speak to God, that’s where your light shall shine

Ultimately the spirit is within you to be at peace and shine.

Not everyone shall relate to these words 

And that’s okay…

As long you know someone is looking over you, there’s a better place in your heart that one day you shall stay.

Jason

19th July 2025

Kindness… in a world that doesn’t care

It feels there’s no hope

But you feel you must learn to believe,

Staying positive is the hardest attribute to secure when you receive.

You are the light

Are are the hope within, 

Fight with all your heart and remember life is there to see

Whatever options that are available to you, it’s always been you to feel free.

What would blaming yourself solve?

What’s done is done, pray for forgiveness and start again 

Recalling a chapter in your heart to hold you back…

Please…. Learn from it and accept the facts.

Time is now

Do with it as you will,

I am familiar with the hope to push forward, even if it’s overkill.

Jason

19th July 2025

I am not here to give up!

I am not here to simply give up

I can’t be bothered with “that’s the problem” that sort of uncertain thing 

I can only pray what God looks towards you to bring. 

I am not here to lose, I am here to win

Win a fight that the Father has already won;

Look at this world now, it’s already messed up so be at peace with yourself and believe in you from the power of one.

Carp dieme, all that… accept the hope out which is there

It starts with you but I reiterate be at peace with God

The disenchanted are always arguing through pessimistic political prods. 

Tomorrow I may not be here.. and that is just fine 

I, like many of us will be lifted from these burdens which God forsakes,

The thing for you is… yes you… is that you shall eventually awake.

Jason

18th July 2025

To the people I love

I may not want to talk to you?

I may never want to look at you in the eyes?

I just say my prayers at night before saying my goodbyes. 

You see? God has brought me peace 

I am sinner at the very least.

Actually we have all messed up, so don’t beat yourself up

The world is already in a state of disrepair 

I need to focus on God, the Father gives you direction to declare.

I am hopeful to see the light

I am hopeful others shall see it too,

There is no concoction.. just myself and God to pursue.

So I pray you follow this road

The road that shows the light, 

God has already won the spiritual fight. 

Love is there, despite the distance shown

Through the hope of the spirit nothing else can overwhelm.

Jason

17th July 2025

Never alone…

Lord I know you are here 

We love you, and through that we have nothing to fear!

Lord we know we come in with you

You created us after all,

How the world perceives us doesn’t matter through the spirit we are tall.

We know you hold our hands when we are down

You never far away, through the times I feel I am going to drown. 

Blessed are we to get to know you

Your son leaves the door open, that’s why there is a chance

May you be held close by God… that’s where you receive your glance.

Jason

18th July 2025

Rock and roll

The 60s vibe

Free love and care for the world,

The sound of the revolution rolled in a bubble put in the whirl.

Their were the Kinks who sang: ‘Lola’ 

And The monkeys with ‘I’m a believer’ 

And then England became the world football champions of 1966..

Alf said they would win…victory was deserved as glory came in the mix.

There was Woodstock festival

With songs like ‘Purple haze’ and ‘Hey Joe’

The brilliance of Jimi Hendrix, whose artistry simply showed.

There was Cat Steven’s with ‘Matthew and Son’s’ and ‘Ruby love’

A handsome artist who sang with his heart to the world all over,

His eclectic of words shall never be seen as a walkover..

The essence from this era was to be uplifted, humbled and go all out to enjoy 

If only we can all adopt a bit of the 1960’s today

Then again we have already turned to the next page.

Jason

17th July 2025

How I would like to be remembered….

I would like to be remembered for believing in the people he connected alongside,

And that he didn’t give a toss about politics where my mind subsides. 

I was made with a teaspoon of Love

And poured with hot generosity to give

And that I expressed gratitude in abundance… and just wanted to live.. 

I want to be remembered as cheeky and direct

And didn’t care much for a debate, a confrontation which frequently isn’t my mate.

So as I end these words with a diabetes and the sugar I injected so I can eat,

I would describe myself as a steak, with plenty of muscle who lifted weights to win in the freshness to compete. 

Finally, I like to be remembered to openly prayer 

And that God’s love is poured in abundance and there to share,

I like to show light with eyes open wide

and that God is my bestest friend, the spirit which makes me smile and crie.

“Me, me and me”

Jason

Funny sod

He was a bit of a joker my ol’ man

He fancied a laugh and a tear jerker to films too,

He was also hard as nail one minute, and soft the next

He was a character whom you didn’t want to vex.

He was a East Ender with a Cypriot heart

He knew how to make fun out of those with that peculiar Greek voice

He was original and knew how to reduce noise. 

He had many peoples back including mine

He was the man I loved… and showed his steel

I know he is hearing me right now.. by Jove “that’s surreal.”

My Dad was class and handsome to boot,

He has a gorgeous face, which never leaves people’s mind

And his greatest trait is that he had the biggest heart that you’ll ever find. 

“Another one for Dad… x”

Jason

16th July 2025 

Don’t worry

Even the unbroken have their story

Yet a meltdown is inevitable in life,

Picking yourself up is the hardest target to aim

Look away from the floor as the skies is what you shall see today.

Lift your eyes to the stars

That’s where you belong,

People annoying you, leave them be 

They are working out their trivia’s which they are unbeknownst to see.

Don’t you care what others say

But don’t rebel and don’t let pride take over

The prayer of calmness elevates patience and self doubt is taken over.

You are the light of the world

God is holding you more and more each day,

Self praise is good to a degree

It’s the avoidance of worrying that shall set you free.

Jason

16th July 2025

Persistance

Surround yourself around positive people 

People who can radiation rather than drain, 

The point of life is quite complex and difficult to sustain.

Life is a fight till the end

People embrace their victories, but must learn from past defeats

Looking to hope is a time of reflection especially at a time to retreat.

You don’t listen to a person who has no experience of certain things

Doesn’t mean they are incapable, they may be out of their comfort zone or look to achieve elsewhere

I look to God always, he knows my heart and the way I persist

I look towards hope, that part none of should ever dismiss. 

You are flesh, bone and you have a soul

Despite the path you have reached right now,

It’st that moment of prayer which refutes us to scowl. 

There is life

There is hope even if you can’t see the light, 

There is guile in you, stop, recharge and accept the situation you are in from that moment that bites. 

“Comeback to you… please xx praying for you.❤️🙏🏽”

Jason

16th July 2025

Stoic

I get being stoic, I truly do

You are an unmovable force

That the chatter boxes can’t penetrate you.

Stoicism is healthy

It’s a safeguard to reflect as you stay back,

I have diabetes after all, no word will cross my lips.. or I shall attack.

Stoic behaviour is strong 

Stoic behaviour leaves you alone,

You are only dependent on God, the prayers refutes a groan.

You can stay strong 

You can stay stoically attained, 

May the Lord hold you, the stoic mentality is easy to maintain.

Jason

16th July 2025

A safe space

No noise 

No mental health to overwhelm

A place you are free to say what you want to say

Prayers are the key as it’s God who you look to obey.

Exercise, put on a sweat 

You may say: “too much around the tummy”

Stop and train, those words over time won’t be funny.

Be kind to you 

As we are all getting older by the second,

Speaking the obvious is what we all tend to do

Some know how to act, and others won’t have a clue.

Treat others how you want to be treated yourself

And that means remain humble and connect to your spiritual wealth. xx

Jason 

13th July 2025

When you pray

Praying against arguments

A simple none brainer, 

Power of the spirit?, or an empty set of words through a mouthy container. 

You are blessed 

And yes, you are worthy

You are not here to bitch,

And if you do…then be prepared to go inside a ditch.

None of us are perfect 

Despite expectations we are unable to manage,

We are after all a vessel of God’s love and not collateral damage!

Be kind

And be real 

Speak of others like if you were speaking to you, 

You wouldn’t speak sadistic, unless you are looking to rule!

So be kind 

And react if absolutely necessary,

Stay with a meditative prayer…

The best place to go… a safe space which you know you will be able to care.

Jason

15th July 2025

A true friend

A true friend elevates you

A true friend understands who you are, 

A true friend laughs with you 

A true friend doesn’t need to drink alcohol to enter that relapse place 

There is hope for you, strength comes with guile and a slower pace. 

Who said go fast?

Who said be quick? 

Who said do “do what I say and not as I do?”

There’s a life waiting for you to pursue. 

Be edified 

Be humbled and at peace, 

Have reflective time, even in the summer heat

Your feet love slowly, avoid the bitter taste of defeat.

You comeback stronger 

You learn to move forward with spirit and aim to discern,

We are all here finding our way

Prayers are a must to start every working day.

Jason

14th July 2025

People are there

Today is a blessing

Thank the Lord that you are simply here, 

If you are looking to towards something, then I suggest say prayer, which is the act to endear?

May the light shine in you

And let others see favour in your heart, 

You are a child of God after all, this day can become a brand new start. 

You wake up, you can’t get out of bed

Put the kettle on, and start with a prayer

Pray for people who you love and also don’t understand you

The path of the righteous person is not an array for words to delve into… and then stew. 

People who have passed and no longer here

Stay with the son of God, as there’s no other words I would like to hear

The Devil’s argument is simply a distraction to make you fear.

So enjoy the sun.. and sometimes enjoy the rain

Listen to your heart beating softly…. As their’ nothing in life to distain. 

Jason 

14th July 2025

When I write…

I write with love

I can write with wit,

I also know I can be a bit of a git.. 

Those who know me, know what I am like…

Razor sharp wit and takes no prisoners too,

So perhaps get on my good side, 

You know it’s God for whom I abide. 

I write with hope

I write with peace of mind, 

I write rather than talk to others who answer back

I rather pray to God, he shan’t allow me to slack. 

I write with focus with a keen eye

I rather be true to myself and say to those who think they annoy me: “Goodbye”.

I pray with hope

I pray with hands together, 

I know I can be boisterous.. and a tad clever. 😉

End of Wimbledon 2025

Swiatek and Sinner secure the Wimbledon singles titles

They faced their true adversity and overcame many trials. 

Sinner dethroned Alcatraz 

And Swiatez dispatched Anisimova in 57 minutes, 

This chapter of tennis is changing of the guard

The skill and tenacity has never been so hard. 

They say this generation is weak 

I doubt this from performances these guys has shown, 

The delight of the audience saw a level of tennis out of this world and overwhelmingly blown. 

 

So Wimbledon 2026 is up next,

But that shall take place in 52 weeks time, 

As another chapter unfolds through these words which rhyme.

So as these victories belonged to Italy and Poland 

The world has been blessed from the artistry they have shown us. 

“Goodbye Wimbledon 2025… up next US Open x”

Jason

13th July 2025

Beaches

The eyes are resting 

The sand touching my toes are warm and light,

The beach calms my spirit, if only all places were this relaxing held through a warm night.

The air is warm and breezy

God is there protecting the prayers you request,

I remember when I was a child look to the skies and wishing this day to occur each day,

Lord I feel you, prayers on this beach shall always feel okay.

The beach which receives the dimness of the stars

Jamaica, Cyprus or Kenya…the gaze we can take from simply being here

The beach enlightens and removes any kind of fear.

To think of a loved one, someone who has passed but this scene shall always relax,

May the beach hold you closely, through a scene which God made for us to latch.

“Marlene.. as requested x 🙏🏽❤️🏝️”

Jason

13th July 2025

You can cry… but the fight is there

Please don’t give up

This isn’t your time,

Love you my friend, God gave us a chance to combine.

Find what exactly? 

Yourself, and the gifts you hold

I can’t be bothered talking to ‘nay’ sayers, their pessimism shan’t unfold.

Remember you are great

Yes, I am talking to you,

How are you going to respond?

Knowing what is said is positive, as your opinions go above and truly beyond.

You are gifted

Exceptionally lifted,

So goodbye my pessimistic friend 

I know are bi-product for what you believe 

I rather pray good vibes to you, than what I conceive.

Jason 

13th July 2025

Hello b@£*h

Hello bitch fancy seeing you here!

What’s your story getting to these pearly gates?

Shut up bitch, here’s a cup of tea for you, now I don’t want a debate.

It’s only been a couple of years…

Yes, we did end up at the same place in the end,

I think our families know we are with each other now

Shut up bitch!!  It’s our turn to finally slow down.

It’s great we finally meet again

I knew this wasn’t over, despite closing our eyes 

We met in heaven unsurprisingly, that’s not a surprise. 

Bitch… great seeing you 

It’s a shame heaven doesn’t have a mobile phone to teleport a message back to the ones we love

They know we are in peace now… not more pain, that feeling has been nudged.

“Chris and dad… meeting in heaven”

Jason 

13th July 2025

Friendship

Friendship is humility 

It can also be challenging 

I look to pray before I see a friend

The words exchange can be hard to comprehend.

It’s the debate people contest

Some enjoy it, some do not!

I prefer to sit still and listen and be with them when in a good space.

Pessimists are not my type 

As I am the opposite, I see optimistic light

The battle of opinions can often gripe.

So as I get to this stage in my life

Where people assume you get their point of view,

I rather not impart opinions, as mine remain inside of me like glue. 

Jason

13th July 2025

He loved a tan

Said it as it is

That’s my ol’ man

I was almost his greatest fan I would say

But three following words shall simply slay.

He loved his skin crisped to the bone

He was a child of God after all, he would also try his luck to get on the Father’s throne.🤣

It’s sunny today 

Those were the days where my Dad would smile,

“I fancy doing a barbecue, it’s the weather for it” I hear…

I can picture his face, no tears just happy memories to endear. 

He was my mate, my father… and he got me and many others l..

He would listen and tried not judge 

And would hear a lot of words mentioned about others, and would reply: “leave that out, that’s down to them”

He was my kind of guy

A beautiful spirit and words which cause myself and others no surprise.

“Love you dad x”

Jason

13th July 2025

One thing that will never forsake you…..

The spiriti within will never forsake you

The peace in your heart is what you discern and can ensue. 

The light is there

Rain, sun or gallows of storms 

Only the spirit of your light shall deliver a reform. 

Keep moving

Keep fighting 

Stay hopeful and true

There is only one way your life can imbue. 

Be hopeful 

Stay strong to thyself 

There is plenty you can offer to your heart, 

“Ahh” is not the way forward, therefore, that feeling I shall depart. 

I want to keep moving

Keep trying and getting to know myself more, 

Pain is inevitable, but that feeling is temporary and has a notion to become sore. 

The is a light you can see

Stop, stay still, say nothing as you shall be free.

Free from nonsense and pessimistic woes

Those are words I ignore, as the gifts inside your heart can be retrieved and frequently shown. 

Jason 

12th July 2025

When you fall down.. .I’ll be there

When you are down, I’ll be there

I don’t have to say anything or need to advise

I will simply appear and do my best for you to never demise. 

Yes, the storm is there

The Grandparents and parents who held our hands through storms 

Times have changed, you are never alone, believe that… That mindset isn’t practical and can only deform. 

I am here with these words, 

Read them again and again, 

I may not know you but there is a spirit hoovering around you where Angels defend. 

Please do not worry

I am sure you are saying that to yourself too. 

You can’t feel low or high forever, that is a cert 

I simply pray for you… That point in our lives we could revert. 

Jason 

12th July 2025

It’s that time…. (Mens Singles final at Wimbledon)

It’s that time again

Will it be Alcaraz or Sinner, 

A new generation of tennis player, when tomorrow’s Wimbledon final decides a winner. 

Their was Becker, Edberg, McEnroe, Borg and Connors, 

Champions in their own right aiming to win the ultimate completion 

If they won it once they would want to aim for a rendition. 

There was Newcombe, Laver, Emerson and Roach

They fought for this title, something where they needed to bring their ‘A’ game with the desire to win,

Skills, temperament and the longing to put themselves in the history books

The guile to win and self-belief is where I look. 

Victory is the aim

And in 52 weeks this will start all over again, 

Looking to secure the title of Wimbledon champion, a title they will look forward to defend. 

“Who will win…. Sinner or Alcaraz? “

Jason 

12th July 2025

Silence through a prayer

Please don’t worry God is right here

Leave the peace within the spirit, which you possess with fear,

This have been challenging, prayers are part of the avoidance to slide

The words of love and hope have nowhere to hide.

God is inside you

Prayers from many people are there,

I am sure you and other people are playing their part 

There is hope, so please never depart.

I say nothing 

I may not look at your face,

Life is precious, but prayers can remove that awkward taste.

Love is the word that you need to feel

Love is the word that shall heal,

Be at peace with God, he shall deal with the rest

May the angels float above you, you shan’t receive any less.

“For Teresa xx”

Jason 

12th July 2025

Listening to old tunes

Listening to Fleetwood Mac’s song: ‘Everywhere’

Wasn’t that the place we once were?

Moving through the turmoil and then we realise we need the support 

Somethings are just beyond you, even through the things in the past you have been taught. 

Listening to the song, I am sure you know how it goes

It’s about love, moving, forward, and those words from that song: “Be with you everywhere”

The fact of the matter we are good people, we are in a place of support and care. 

I love those 80s songs, or the ones future or prior 

There was Peter’s and Lee

Songs that wanted to make you feel free. 

There was Earth, Wind and Fire 

With that perennial classic ‘September’ 

All these wonderful songs that uplifted your spirit and happily remember.

So enjoy this Friday 

As I listen to Bill Withers ‘Lovely day’ 

As the heavens open, we shall all be okay xx

Jason 

11th July 2025

It’s time

It’s all about time 

It’s all about love… and that word hope too

Struggles amidst, the valance of light

Peace in your soul, the fend of delight.

Peace is lost 

Especially when you don’t understand hope,

Hope is the foundation which can never be broke.

It starts with a hello

It ends with goodbye and peace,

God is all merciful yet prayers are released. 

Timing is there to watch

You can’t go forward and not back,

This is fairly obvious to those who read these words 

Go with your heart, as you shall never be deterred.

Jason

11th July 2025

Light minded

If you can’t laugh at yourself

Then I presume you can’t make fun out of others?

People who lack light-mindedness are political and like a debate

Go away you idiot, as I am ready to slate.

I know life has been difficult 

And I don’t need to talk to entertain your vibe, 

God willing all is resolute, I refute the seriousness in the mind. 

I look to life and see adults my age and the elders grate me 

None of us know how long we have got 

I close my eyes as the good memories I possess I won’t have forgot. 

Happiness is bi-product 

Calmness is the place to vibe, 

I know some people come with good intentions as the elevations shall refine.

Jason

10th July 2025

We are not here to quit!

So you have messed up

Haven’t we all?

Expecting to have that fancy car or luxury house, 

this life was going to be a chance of cat and mouse.

We work hard

That is what humans are designed to do,

We look at the world in a fantasy way

Keep your feet well grounded, then prayers will stay.

We have all struggled!!

Isn’t that life?

Some getting a better deal more than others 

So when they face a difficult time, they will ultimately face a stutter.

So be strong 

And yes….you are.

No point saying “I can’t be bothered to try”

I may give you a tissue to cry.

So goodbye and go back to re-read these words 

You were created especially to focus on this 

So get up and try something positive.. and I am not taking the piss.

Jason

10th July 2025

Happy birthday…L

Today is your day

And yes….it is what it is,

But then again it’s a celebration for a friend that I often miss.

Bless you Lorraine

God has your back,

You are a child of God after all

Who is loved by grace through the time we call.

Have a blessed day

Have a joyous life,

You have got this far through guile and wit 

A honoured friend whose presence has lite.

Happy birthday Lorraine 

Enjoy the rest of your life,

Prayers and blessings are heading in your direction

God has blessed you with mercy and selection

 

Stay true

Stay real

Thank you for your friendship, what I see with kindness and zeal.

“Happy birthday… Lorraine❤️🙏🏽”

Morning….

Morning dear Lord 

Thank you for our breath,

Thank you for our life’s 

Thank you for removing any form of strife. 

Thank you for the prayers in the morning 

Thank you for the motivation that’s been enhanced,

Thank you for the friendships I have built, and the moments I have chanced. 

Thank you for people I have connected with

Despite the ways we have met, 

Thank you for the encouragement and that moment we all stopped… and the began to reflect.

Most important of all

Thank you for the ones that I love and who love me, 

I have fallen out with a few people along the way

As the bitching and and demeaning isn’t my vibe

So goodbye… their negative thoughts have been washed by the protection of the tide.

Jason

9th July 2025

Why on edge?

Mental health increases 

Vulnerability never ceases, 

Finding a way through 

Give me a chance, better still….a clue. 

I pray for the anxiety of others to go away

It’s ramped up during the times of today. 

Tension??? because someone is diagnosed with fear

Lord help them, a hug they need not a tear. 

Then again, start the process off by releasing a tear

Difficult mindset, that’s hard to get out

There is that tension built inside which leads to a shout.

It could be set off by a baby crying

Words surrounded to ramp up the noise, 

Like my good friend always says: ‘one day we should retreat and keep to our poise.’

Jason 

8th July 2025

Happy birthday… dear friend

Hello Matthew 

And that I say ‘Happy birthday’ out loud,

And pleased that last Saturday you had an beautiful crowd.

May this journey move you forward

You are clearly great at what you do,

Celebrate another year on the goals you are trying to achieve 

Then there’s the fact you are delving into pastures new to retrieve.

You possess a comedy spirit

A time to make others laugh,

I can see by your nature you have guile

And that your endurance shall last for a while.

Nice to have met you bro

You introduced me to that app frinch

And that the next time I’ll see you, I’ll give you a big hug… and I promise not a pinch.

“Happy birthday Matthew Amos, a blessing”

This again!

This addiction game is a bloody road..

Taking this 

Doing that

Being the star of the party by losing it and going off my head

Now I am here, up and down as the next minute… I am waiting to go into my bed.

They say ‘live your life’

Does that mean getting rat faced and falling on your bum?

I suppose I can’t be too serious, then again the taste of that rum was indeed yum…!

Going to a meeting here

Going to a meeting there, 

Is this what it’s suppose to be? 

Hello my name is…? Can’t I just be free.

Free from drugs, free from what the fuck was that..

Free from cocaine… well the buzz did elevate me, but at the cost of me acting as if I was free.

To be fair, I am a good person

And I have made some some wayward choices,

And that gregarious moment was instigated by hearing those fickle voices.

Ultimately, I am always acting mad

I am a funny personality who sometimes is sad.

I’ll stop beating myself up now

As I now wash the soap off my brow,

So as I start again

Here’s another message to humble my heart…

Not going down that road again…. Encouragement is where it starts.

“For my mate Louisa❤️🙏🏽”

Strength regained

If you fall?

Don’t believe in that feeling to get to bail.

The limit has been achieved

So through prayer and belief in God you can receive. 

Stay strong

Stay prayerful

Stay humble and honest 

As well as attained and modest. 

Look to the heights one day you shall get

Everyone in life gets tired and starts the process to reset. 

We are human after all, trying is what we are designed to do

Receiving so many knock backs we naturally find hard to accept

But as long as you try, then that’s worth it. 

Jason 

7th July 2025

You shall start again

People shall remind you where you’ve gone wrong

Simply ignore them, there hymn isn’t your song.

You rebuild after not so long being top of the tree

Muscles broken down

Now starting to rebuild

Through prayer and hard work you shall soon be healed.

We start again

Remember, you are in control

You are learning all over again so you’ll be able to grow.

Pray to God

The light at the end of the tunnel,

There is always hope just get into an encouraging huddle.

Give me a reason

Looking for a way out

Tough love is worth giving it a shout,

Love reigns, but the fight is within

We can’t lose out, as the end result is a win.

How did I get here,

To fight through this fear, 

I was baby in someone’s arms once, a fearful child with tears.

But you venture through life?

Fall and rise again?

Made many mistakes and surround yourself through controlling guidance 

There’s hope there, you need to find your defiance.

You may find it in the gym

Or crafting a picture, which you can relate,

You may look at current affairs and deliver on a debate.

You can sit and journal

Writing the things important for you,

This is a broken world after all, which we already knew.

Jason

You are brilliant

We aren’t use to hearing fantastic words about us

It’s God we look up to, so he is the one that we trust. 

You are brilliant 

Perfectly resilient,

Humble and down to earth

From the moment your Mother, through the Father gave you worth.

You are charming and enlightening 

You have the spirit inside of you, isn’t that inviting?

You may be getting older, but you are young in spirit

You appreciate you life when the Father in heaven is within it. 

Be your best you

Don’t let anyone put you down, 

Despite your best efforts where you have failed

The Father loves you, that’s the humility you have found.

Talking to me

Me: “Hey you, how are you today?”

Me: “I am okay, that tosser will be calling me, so soon my ears shall fray.”

Me: “Why do you do this?”

Me: “Because I care”

Me: “leave them alone, they will be able to relax”

Me: “Not as serious than the bill I received through that amount of tax”

Me: “I am okay, working it through”

Me: “The drainers need to focus elsewhere and sort out their shit to remove from their shoe”

Me: “I am okay, nothing to worry about.. yet”

Me: “Going to the gym, I’ll strain my muscles for an hour.”

Me: “Praying to God while I do and endure the pain, 

and no point holding back… so show how brilliant you are… so continue to contain..”

How are ya.. my…

How are you Gal?

How are you Roy?

How are you my Dawnie?

I love you kid, no words I shall say are corny.

How are you my kid?

I love you, you silly git

You are your own worse enemy, but you do have wit.

Come over here and stay for a few days 

Rest, have a chat with me and do nought..

I can hear him now, tears dripping onto my mouth.

Margie, how are you kid?

Ba-na-yia-mou, you are kidding!

Remember, he is still here and taking the piss

That silly sod Andrea, Andrew or Andy… the one who took the piss.

“Ba-na-yia-mou = oh my god. And dedicated to my Dad. Love you Mucker”

Pray for clarity

Pray for clarity

Pray for light

Pray for humility

Pray for us to unit

Pray for wisdom

Pray to avoid political rife,

Pray to humble your spirit, and there is justice in sight.

Pray that men and women get along

None of this toxic language, let us join and belong.

No divide and rule 

That vision shouldn’t be there, 

Anti this and that, those words shouldn’t be going anywhere.

The fact is, there is is divide 

Why because anger takes over,

I am a child of God first and foremost

I know the world is complex, but each step I try to coast.

Love one another like just like how the Father loves us all,

There will be times we will rise and again fall.

God is almighty  and is great

We should believe he is our fate,

But tomorrow is a new day

Rain, snow or shine

The spirit is everyone’s father, the ultimate divine.

Jason

You are my friend…. Because

You are my friend because you show me kindness

I can laugh with you without answers of random blindness.

You are quirky and smart

But don’t get me wrong? You do make me laugh even when ripped a fart.🤣

But you are light minded 

You pray to God as I do too, 

You want to help, yet it’s peace we imbue. 

You are fun

And you are subtle 

You are direct to the point, and you stick to your decisions without getting in a muddle.

You are random 

And you are too are humble when you are weak,

You are a blessing from God, from the elevation we seek.

Jason

5th July 2025

You need you first

Speak to God

The best conversation you will have,

Feel peaceful in your soul, 

the heart of attainment is balanced, nor fast or slow.

Find your own company first 

Then speak to the people who love,

They are people who want nothing but the best for you,

Speak to the Lord first, that passage you should initially ensue. 

Speak to God

Your first connection within,

If you haven’t got a big family, remember the Father is always there

No chance feeling lonely or the need of more people who are related 

This is a pointless response that isn’t at all rated.

Remain humble 

Most importantly stay real,

I do not care of what you do, it’s how you act

The Father is ultimately in charge and that’s a fact.

Jason 

5th July 2025

Tired but still able to pray

Wake up to a new day

A day you have been blessed through someone that you don’t know

Turning up and saying: “thank you Lord” is where we all need to grow.

So remember, the light shines through 

The light is a message from the Lord which he transcends,

Living for another day through a prayer with Father

Is more invigorating than the alternative…rather.

Tired a day older

But one day we shall see the day,

This is a new life where we shall be pain free and see the perennial sun

Through supplication we are cherish rather than feeling numb.

Wake up to a new day

The first that lays ahead,

Remember the gentle words through a prayer which is humbly led.

Jason

4th July 2025

Peaceful

Heavens await 

No goodbyes, simply a remembrance that shows true love 

Skies shining God’s fight 

There plenty of that insight.

A father, a provider and a loving husband 

Peace has now arrive towards his soul, 

You shall see him again, don’t ever let that go.

Pain no longer 

Simply kindness, love and laughter surrounds,

Whatever you believe in, the voice I do hear… a raw elevation of his sound.

Words are there to lift grace

His heart is held and put in a restful place, 

And even though today we don’t see his face

But I know by the grace of God, there shall be a time we shall meet again…as we shall all enter into that restful place.

“Respects to Chris.🕊️.”

Durable… Christian poem

I mustn’t complain

Just need to keep going on,

A child of God is prayerful, where complaints don’t really belong.

Yes, I am human

And I may fall in the complaining hat,

I prefer not to use my energy that way, so that’s where it’s at.

I am strong, but do get tired

I am not on this earth to be idolised, nor admired.

I just want to write poems 

That’s a conversation I prefer to have,

Speaking to people can be wearing

Reading Christian quotes is far more endearing.

1992

It was 1992 I met this friend called Matthew 

We arranged a game of tennis which took place each Friday week

We were looking to cultivate memories and more to seek.

I met him mum, Nikki 

She was caring and very cool,

She showed kindness, gave you a sandwich and cup of tea

These were the days without the internet and we felt unknowing but humbly free.

The relationship has lasted till now

They made sure I had a place to stay and food to eat,

I want to leave but fond memories when upset I prefer to remember and then retreat.

We have been on a journey

More than I thought would take place,

The ups and downs and the patience tested 

I am blessed and they are too, children of God are always invested.

People do change 

Tiredness….creeps in,

Silly questions forms, and that statement: “I don’t know what I am saying🤣”

I just reminisce that sandwich and a game of tennis 

We just have a bit more experience now and look to go forward

Perhaps we see each other too much? but isn’t for at all awkward.

“Matthew, Nikki and Jason…. The journey…. And legacy”

Believe in you

We have all played it safe

Some more than others,

In the past I have got myself into a dark mess, which when I think about it I shudder.

But would I take that risk again? Of course I would!

I can’t leave a challenge alone, 

I would ask why I didn’t give it a go, 

There are times you pray, discern and allow yourself to flow.

You are brilliant 

Magnificent and resilient,

We are so quick to knock ourselves down

Stay in a safe space, speak to God first and then refute a chance to frown.

Risks go wrong

That’s part of learning and striving,

Some have good parents who have their back

Others have had sometime-ish folk, whose own upbringing has been fraught, tricky and slacked.

It’s your life

God created you, from the beauty and guile which you draw breath

Believe in you… there is hope and nothing else should be accepted less.

Jason

3rd July 2025

It’s the little things

It’s the small things that elevate the spirit 

Not the material possessions, they are nice but don’t last for long 

It’s more spiritual for me, I was caught up in that world once… for me? I didn’t belong. 

I was more connected to the spirit

Not the struggles of when a car breaks down,

As often on my face those motives would instigate a frown.

The lost ones they are my treasure, that connection 

Belonging to a higher power is more than a fancy car, or house… that hollow perfection. 

I crave peace 

No questions just peace,

The loudness of others fall on deaf ears… in the less.

So as I have my focus 

And stay on the road I choose

The humility inside of me, through God… none of us can lose.

Jason

2nd July 2025

No more…

The pain is over

Suffering has now passed by,

Yes, there is a consequence, but the heavens says ‘hi’.

Thank you for being you

Passing through this earth with much to face,

God now has them, this spiritual realm is what you shall capture through the Father’s grace.

Miss them or not 

The past shall tell its own story,

It’s how you connect with God, through the time of his glory. 

Thank you for the memories 

Thanks for this journey we’ve been together, 

God brought you on this earth to work it through

His son leaving the door open, and for the time we ensue.

“Uncle Chris, friend, husband, parent, grand parent and good soul”

Pump therapy

Wow.. the world through an insulin pump

You look to a better life where insulin reaches internally into your body,

You no longer produce and consequently you have an episode to feel shoddy.

It can be your feet or eyes!

Either of them can be affected.. that’s not a surprise,

Looking for a ‘win, win’ solution

Learning the art of carb counting is not a delusion. 

You can eat what you want 

But you refrain when sugars are high,

Then there are hypos and when that arrow shows the CGM going down

You look to the diabetes Gods and ask today not to drown. 

So today we face a fight

Actually every day you have a tussle,

I workout and train to excess 

and there’s those who say : “can you eat that?” When I thrn reply: “aren’t my internals struggling through a hypoglycaemia test?.”

Life continues 

Life without diabetes is preferred…

You look to stay positive by being the best example of calmness you are able to be

One day there be an artificial pancreas to secrete insulin, and when that day happens we shall eventually become free.

“Living with type 1… isn’t for fun.. the fight continues”

Jason

A Poem

A poem can be that talk that you prefer to have

A poem can be transcribed at a drop of a hat.

A poem could be joy to mask the pain

A poem can be free expression where judgement won’t become your bane.

A poem is a conversation one that you can relish 

A poem is humility, one I prefer to embellish.

A poem is the light to lift the soul

A poem remove those negative remarks which once riled your glow.

A poem has a beginning as well as an end 

A poem can have another meaning next time, from another subject we can transcend.

Jason

2nd July 2025

No one like you

You are unique

Beyond the moon and.the stars 

You are gregarious, or sometimes quiet and know how close you are… or how far. 

You are your unique creation

No one quite like you,

You are loved and missed when not around

And when you’ve been lost; by grace you have been found.

The importance is that you are my friend 

A companion and a champion I would stick out to defend.

Remember how great you are

No point listening to the negatives that you portray, 

As long you stay my friend, then we shall all be oka.

Jason

2nd July 2025

How are you?

How are you?

Do you ask that question to those who you should?

Isn’t that courtesy to the people who would?

Thank you for asking me how I am;

I thought it was all about you, as the door was about to slam.

You should treat how you would like to be treated

Otherwise the consequence could become a tad heated.

Be nice but ask others to have a mindful thought

Isn’t the power of Jesus a powerful kindness that has never been bought.

Be nice to others who treat you well 

So not remove yourself from God, from the story which I tell.

Jason

Out there

People who live to see the next day 

They wonder how they got there at first 

Capturing feelings through a gulp and thirst.

People make you smile

And in the process put themselves down,

They are worthy too, and should be celebrated rather deem a frown.

Blessed are those who give you hope

They seek the finer things and won’t elope.

Give thanks to God for seeing you through 

Today is a blessed, and it starts with you. 

Jason
