Another week

​Another week to be thankful 
Another week to be grateful,
Another week to show the way of the spirit,
And that often you see him in the centre in it.

Another week to work hard 
Another week to be at peace,
Another week to remain humble
Another week to avoid that moment from
when you can stumble.

Another week to wake up to God
Who has given you this day to strive,
Another day to show willing and that guile to remain alive.

Another week to walk this walk that belongs to you,
Don’t worry, God is there all of the time,
Another week to shine your light and let others see favour,
Another week to seek your higher… and please don’t leave that to later.

Enjoy a life God gave

​It’s easier for some than others,
Do we always worry about our sisters and brothers?

We are growing every single day,
Thank you Father, even through the trials we face, 
We shall endure and learn to come to embrace.

Tomorrow we live 
And tomorrow we won’t be here, 
So here are these words from a perfect stranger who loves you forever, and trust me I am not being clever.

Thank you for having the time to read these words, because people do care,
Just like life, most of us want to give and share.

Diabetes daily fight….

​One day I just want to avoid taking insulin to prevent me go to low
We understand the maths but mistakes will happen on the way, 
I have had this condition for 23 years now, can’t my pancreas regenerate insulin so overdosing shall go away.

I dislike this condition 
I really and honestly do!
I would like to have a cheat day by scoffing my face with ample sweets,
But I have to be disciplined, otherwise I face a hypo staring at me to revel in defeat. 

I dislike this condition 
But then again I must embrace the daily challenges that it possesses, 
I have said too much through these words, yet then again I need to start confessing. 

I express with words of honesty
We have stigma all of the time, 
‘Why not bring sweets with you?’ Or why didn’t you follow the rule book to balance your blood sugars?
My answer is; how can this be so? The highs, lows and there is exercise and the mental health it poses
But then again, life is on life’s terms as one day I hope the pancreas regenerates and the insulin pen shall no longer need to inject its doses.

“Living with diabetes, type 1 is a struggle in itself.”

Emotions running high

​Emotions running high 
I once wanted to leave, perhaps die. 

I wanted my life to be bold and true
When actually I was making this up, as I didn’t really have a clue.

Now my big pants are pulled right up 
Wanting answers when my mind wouldn’t be able to retain,
And refusing to lose my temper, therefore, best to talk to God and refrain.

Emotions are high 
I want to say it’s going to be alright, 
I know through God, the hope is within sight

I pray for my friends to keep me up
When actually God is the pilar to hold me aloft,
I know tomorrow isn’t guaranteed 
When one day we shall all look at heaven and become freed

When I get emotional

​When I get emotional I tend not to be able to think
When I get emotional I assume I feel I am about to sink, 
So please don’t worry, it will be okay
I may have a moment of tears but they shall soon fade away. 

When I get emotional I wonder what’s going on?
When I get emotional, I would do anything to make me feel strong. 

When I get emotional I want my Nan, Dad and Auntie around, 
I could rely on their hugs and reassurance, but in truth It’s God for whom I have found. 

When I get emotional, I want to pick up a drink
But then I start thinking this will be ‘doom’ for me, as I know my hesitation shall make me sink. 

When I get emotional I want to cry, cry and cry
But now I have to let the tears come out.. and make sure I say to that anxiety a firm ‘goodbye.’

Blessings today..

​blessings are a lift from the unseen,
We seek for an answer, which I know is God, who has dealt with our spirit that was unclean. 

This is a message to say God bless you,
And may the world know who you are;
And with the Holy Spirit you shan’t need to seek that far.

Be kind to you,
That’s a simple pattern to follow,
I have been to places I don’t want to you to ever know, 
all that matters to stay with your higher power, and from there change will take place 
Haven’t we all been in situations when we have been lost and unable to trace.

I’ve been involved with addictions,
Depression
And a suicide attempt,
Never thinking I would pull through,
As a blessing is poured on your head and it’s a fantastic walk that I prefer to do with haste,
That is something we should all welcome with open arms, 
A blessings are a spiritual gift 
Just as much as a mood felt lift.

Worrying.. or worrying to solve

​Worrying is a strange….. strange trait
It can be unhelpful and lead to a torrid state. 

Worrying may show that you care, 
Then you speak to the obvious, and say those words ‘get on with it’
What choice do we have? 
We need to find a solution, but don’t know what to do
There is often the answer in a prayer that we look to ensue. 

Worrying is part of life, 
It’s how we manage it, to avoid feeling someone else’s your own strife,
Worrying can be dangerous
Worrying can stop you sleeping 
Worrying needs to be managed correctly, otherwise you you’ll face an internal beating. 

Worrying is a path we learn about more,
Worrying, may also show you are able to care,
Worrying is the cornerstone to breakthrough, and then speak to God at that exact point 
The worrying won’t hurt you, but we prefer to receive a gentleness which often anoints

Learning everyday

​If you don’t learn something everyday, then try to absorb something new
And it’s good to know what you are doing, but learning something different is a spirit which you can ensue. 

If you learn something new, your mind will lift to a new level, 
The art of learning a skill is to encourage, perhaps during that time you shall revel. 

Be kind to yourself, the world is full of learning options to find, 
Ask the question, as the skill is what you about to learn and later show
There is a formula for most things as the answer is ‘sometimes’ there
To be totally honest.. does anyone care. 

So you learn something fresh
Something to generate your zeal, 
The best things in life are free, so go off, learn something new
And that this life to overcome challenges that are waiting to be pursued.

Jason

A new life…

​Sometimes the door opens elsewhere, 
You may want to stay in your comfort zone 
Yet it’s your higher power that won’t allow you to ever be alone. 

You will receive fellowship, the aim to keep going on
Life never stands still when God is in your corner 
You aim to love life, and be on fire rather than warmer.

Sometimes you need to follow the what God says,
God shall never ‘let you down’,
That is what God said to me when I kept doubting myself 
I know there is hope through the realm of faith that overcomes challenges to your mental health. 

You need to go when your higher power says, 
It’s belief in the hope you have in the spirit way above,
There will be concern.. but shall win… yes.. that word ‘love.’

Thank you brother..

​Thank you brother, I truly appreciate your help
When initially I actually wanted to yelp. 

You are guiding this fragile man who appears strong on the outside,
Thank you for Colin’s life, the one who shall build his strength from the view he sees
As I write this from a place where he and Maxine keep growing,
Seeking new chapters, through the principles that are always showing.

May he and Maxine grow strong on this path they see together, 
They are like best friends, showing humility and galleon of talent which is a blessing….as well as seen as clever. 

May they both live a life and show the world they are here, 
A prayer to remain humble, loved and walk this path that God wants them to view, 
This is a prayer for this gentleman and his lady.. in this world they elevating from the place to ensue.

“For Colin and Max ❤️’

Do not fear

​whatever you are going through right now, please do not fear,
Say a prayer and if that sheds a tear, then embrace and proceed to endear.

You may feel anxious
You may feel the worse, 
You are part of a small battle, trust me, the spirit inside won’t die,
That lives forever, stop thinking as everything will be alright.

Struggles shall always be there 
It’s your temperament that you need to align,
Remember, you shall be just fine.

These are words I would say to myself foo,
Stay positive, God gave you a life to ensue.

You only have this life 
If you choose to be realistic, then please part your ways 
I know it shall be alright, especially at the end of the last days.

Jason
8th August 2026

Thankful for today

​Thank you as we are here today
Don’t be scared, what’s the worse that can happen?
Sleep and never to wake up? 
Or get run over by a speeding trunk. 

You see, you will never know how it will end?
This isn’t a morbid message, this is the truth of life and death,
I rather have it end with a smile on my face
And be around miserable gits, whose frown that never fades. 

You see life….
And you shall see healing, 
Now, this very instance is all what we have
Our lives can end imminently at the drop of a hat.

You are here today
And that is a present in itself, 
We look to move forward and graitfy what we hold true,
May the Lord be present from this walk we ensue.

Funny

​Funny lives 
Keep us amused and light headed,
the thought of telling a joke
And saying afterwards, who is that hilarious bloke. 

Funny lives
That is what we all need, 
My Mate was talking about a turtle to keep him amused
I refused to listen to him
Because if I said the same back… he would turn my words around …. How rude. 

We all need something to make me laugh
We all need something to make this work,
Like a man went into a shop and asked to buy a suit for a wedding 
But he misheard his wife… who sent out to buy some fresh bedding. 

We need to laugh
The food for our soul,
One day we won’t be able to laugh as we shall be 6 feet under
I’lll go down with a laugh, and avoid these serious types who turn your words around 
I’ll say: “God loves you mucker… now give me that money from the floor…. That you found.”

Secular thinking

​You either see the news 
And be led by what you think can amuse,
I rather say a prayer to start today 
That’s all we have in order to pave the way.

You either speak secular worldly affairs, or speak to your God, for it’s the way,
Why shout, what does that prove? when it’s God you won’t obey. 

I need the spirit 
I need the Father all of the time,
It’s a purpose, and a sullen direction 
Let’s be perfectly honest, it’s through God where you need reflection.

Secular thinking won’t work,
God gives you free will to do as you please,
And you blame him for yours or others mistakes, didn’t I say ‘free will’ can cause chaos if used ungodly.. as the past shall freeze.

Daily Gratitude

​I start the day first with prayer 
As we know God you are always there,
So not worry, the time is now 
I bend my knees and move towards a new day 
A sleepiness night wasn’t meant to stop us today. 

The walk is strong,
The walk of hope also holds us together,
It’s not based on merit or us thinking that we are clever.

What does worry do for you?
Solve the problem?
Not a chance!
This is a walk of faith
A place where God wants you to find
The most important aspect is that you put your higher power first, and in-still that in your mind.

Remember you are loved
You are protected too,
And remember through the Father you are never seen as a fool.

Jason

God has blessed you

​God has blessed you 
As you shall walk strong on this path,
He will hold onto you, therefore stay with God and prevent for you to enter into a wrath.

You are held by him
You are loved by him too, 
No merit or efforts needed from you. 

There is a calling and it belongs to Matthew, yes you!
The hope to reconnect with your Nan as God never leaves the things you can’t undo. 

You are loved 
and remember that from this brother and friend,
I want nothing but the best for you as the spirit captured shall always help you to mend.

“For Matthew”

Amazing how people react

​if you say something and someone turns your words on its head,
Don’t reply, I know their game which they prefer to play instead!

You may say something and it comes from a positive place, 
Speak to God first, before you think of something to say,
People can try get into your head, so either play dumb or tell them nothing afterwards… as you know their game.

People can manipulate words because they are in a bad place too, 
People who are perceptive needs to hold your tongue, 
People who won’t understand as make you feel awkward or numb.

I prefer a free flowing conversation, 
Not this looking at people awkwardly because they ask more questions and refusing to accept the answer,
Remain distant if they are an impact to your soul, 
As eventually you would need to let them go..

0 to 1000 mph😂

​the mind can cause chaos
Where there are Supernova moments to dispel,
We all have a gracioso story to tell.

The emotional person that I am
Trying to manage thoughts through deep breathing, 
I need to remain still and not enter into those thoughts of seething. 

Some people need pace 
Some people need ‘quick, quick and quick’ 
I would like a balance, I think most of us are like that?
I want balanced emotions to engage, that’s the place I am at!

I am relaxed now because writing poetry calms me down,
Others journal or play a sport to destress,
I relate to philosophy.. maybe that’s why my mind is in a constant mess. 😂😂

Not much to say..

​there are days I want to keep quiet
I know I shall be okay, and through a prayer I can be defiant.

There is a life to seek
There is a hope to be found,
People’s low mood can often play a part,
We except constantly happy people to never allow that happiness to depart. 

Like now, I feel somber as I am moving away,
I don’t always do this as I am a creature of habit, so the change reflects my mood,
Please approach me, I won’t come across as rude. 

My head is in the clouds but all shall be well, 
I know God has got you and me, 
What is happening today doesn’t mean it won’t change,
This life is your life, so please don’t worry what you read on the next page.

Hand leads to hope

​where there is hope, there is a way
Today is calling you, as gratitude has a place to stay.

You are here not by chance 
It’s because God wants you here,
Teaching, guiding and working it through
Remember it was the Father who initially made you. 

Thank you for hope
Thank you for this life, 
Thank you for my friends and family,
People who mean so much 
God’s desire is a blessed touch.

Wake up and pray
Stay the day with prayer and the walk he wants for you,
Thank you Lord Jesus you left the door open.. and that you knew.

When change takes place

​Don’t worry about a thing
Love God with your heart, you won’t need any other words to bring. 

Love with your soul and Love with your mind, 
Pray each morning, afternoon and night
Change through faith can be humbling where there’s might. 

Don’t worry about anything
Please don’t, you will be okay
Love is powerful,
Love is never ending 
This world is broken enough with the gossip and chaos it has already caused
It’s down to us to remain still and hold onto a pause.

I have said this countless times
You have your life to hold onto, 
Look after it please, 
Where there is light.. God shall bring a test for you to see if you love
There is hope always in this area, so be gracious and refuse to shove.

The communication of poetry

​Poetry doesn’t need to rhyme
It’s philosophy which most of us already know, 
It’s about putting those thoughts into practice, which is something to show. 

Poetry is a vice for me
It’s a way to express my feelings, 
Yes, It exposes many emotions but it’s better than being angry and seething. 

Poetry is a kindness 
It expresses many nice words that need to be said, 
And the words are ones that enter the heart and mind after they are read.

Poetry is my friend
And it’s also a gift, 
Most of all, poetry is a medicine which expresses sensitive words that may need to be relayed
And best of all, it’s nice to relax with the comfort from a poem and take comfort what is slayed.

Jason

Living your best life

​How do you live your best life?
Write down a list?
Say is what’s on your mind?
Learn to be nice to you and others, finding what makes you kind?

I found out something new today
If something is lurking in your thoughts? Stop it and give that worry a name
Leave it there, just put cold water on your face and the thought shall go away
It’s positive thinking is that you want to stay. 

I may say things with ‘kind’, ‘way’ and ‘love, 
But it;s a great formula to enhance the thinking you possess inside,
Change is powerful and overthinking can lead you to subside. 

Yes, some things need to be addressed
And some things needs to be put in their place, 
I love the world but it’s facing hard times with one another, 
It’s not fair what we inflict on our sister and brother. 

Change is good
Change can be kind, 
I will find my time with God, that word is a good place to start,
The Father wants the best for you… From there… my story shall look to humble the heat. 

Jason
5th August 2026

Adapting

​the clock ticks 
One second passes another,
Bless you my friend as things shall start to change 
Don’t worry there’s time to re-arrange.

I shall commit to the situation I face 
God has got this despite my apprehension,
Just pray there’s no need for tension.

Relax and take your time 
The walk with God has always been fine,
So let go and try to relax 
The higher has always got your back.

So goodbye and learn to be kind to you
Remain humble by focusing on a prayer,
The light shall relax you, as your has always been there.

Jason

Blessed to have a vice

​I am blessed to have a vice
I am blessed to have God inside heart, 
Some will call it ‘lucky’ but that isn’t the case
God is holding us together always, so learn to embrace. 

I love words
Expression 
Saying it as it is,
Then there is the art of learning how to write
This can be gentle or be part of a fight. 

It’s could be part of proving a point
Or turning the other cheek, 
Learning is part of the plan,
Stay humble and attempt to make a stand. 

Thank you for kindness
And thank you for letting me be, 
I thank God for everything, even the struggles I was unable to see. 

Take care of yourself, 
Be nice and gentle with you because we can always do the opposite, 
This life isn’t forever, so learn to relax and chill
This life is a learning curve… often you will be surreal. 

Jason

Change is around the corner

​What do we need in life
Security, safety and to receive a blessing, 
Learn to be kind to yourself with open honest confessing. 

Change is there
It’s inevitable these things shall take place
Pray and leave it in God’s hands, there is no aspect of haste.

Changing is part of life
Moving forward is key for some of us more than others, 
Depends what happens, and where God wants you to be
In your heart God is present and wants you to become free. 

So take your time
Don’t be hasten as anxiety needs to be tamed, 
You are worthy or being helped, so please… accept this change.

Jason
4th August 2026

Take your time…

​Don’t worry, you just have today
Speak your truth and ignore vexing words, 
You are no less a person; and through your higher power you are always heard. 

So do not worry, 
These are words towards me too, 
I am working out the solution when emotions are taking over, 
Leave this with God,  he won’t allow you to feel any lower. 

Don’t worry
Say a prayer, and leave it with God,
The message is to support as love is always there
The truth is around the corner so be open, humble and learn to God to declare. 

Don’t worry, 
Relax, pray and learn to be you
And if you don’t know who that is, there is a place for you to ensue. 

Jason
4th August 2026

You can’t do this alone

​You can’t do this alone
You are a blessing…. now and forever and for today,,
Stay with your higher power, the guide and every step of the way.

You can’t walk this walk alone
There shall be guidance on this path, 
Remain humble, as the bad times shall eventually pass. 

You can’t do this alone
I am a friend but I can’t take the pain away,
But with a prayer in your direction 
Life is life, and it won’t go away,
So make the most of it, as this will only end with the head laying down and the words that I’ll finally relay.

So if you are kind to you? then great 
Life is more than a meaningless debate,
We are here to see the future
The past can’t always stay around, 
These are words that I would like said to me 
I know through my higher power I am set free.

Jason
4th August 2026

There…

​sorry, I haven’t always been there,
Sometimes no excuses but that’s the way it goes,
Leave the past there
And accept the now of today
As nothing can change yet as it will be okay.

Life will be fine
Don’t worry, here I am
Some people need connection
Some people need quiet and reflection. 

I haven’t always been there but hey I am just one person on their walk,
Trying their best and navigating life like us all,
Walking on this journey to avoid stumbling towards a fall. 

Life will throw its challenges 
That’s what life does, so be kind to you 
And that today is your happy space for whatever you choose to pursue.

Jason
4th August 2026

You are with it…

​Don’t let anyone tell you, you can’t make it
You will grow and learn from the harshness relied 
Live for the now, as nothing shall ever say.

You may need to knock a lot of doors
Face ample rejections along the way, 
You may say ‘Why me God!’ ‘ What did I do wrong’
Your time isn’t now but one day.. .you. Shall find what makes you strong. 

Stop, and fight
And I don’t mean in a physical way, 
Fight with all the knowledge which you are about to learn
It’s a war out there, so pray and look to discern. 

Don’t let anyone tell you anything derogatory about your past
That is something you shall never forget,
But one thing for certain, you are a brother or sister…. And ultimately worth it.

Jason

Who I am in God to accept ‘me’

​The power of ‘me’
Yes ‘me’, 
No one can say anything different about me
I am uniquely defined, I am blessed and loved
People will knock you down but there is a God that loves ‘me’
So if anyone ‘attempts’ to knock you, then just wait and what has done to thee.

Beaten, punched and made fun out of 
I don’t care what others have to say,
People can be in my corner or leave me alone, 
I know I have a God that loves me, as long as it’s following Faith in him
I know there is nothing perfect out there, but through him… I have a win.

I may sound like a joker
I may sound confident on the outside, 
There is nothing else I rather be than to be with my Father in heaven 
I know how to fight, and how to answer back
I know how to be prayerful, and there is nothing I can ever lack. 

As long I am capable of loving ‘me’
Yes ‘me’ the person God created, 
If people want to debate to fall into gossip 
Then don’t entertain that, not because I am a man, simply a self abiding lover of God
That comes with hope… as well as a self approving nod.

‘Remember love you… as well I am able to love ‘me’.
Jason

Fun….

​What does fun mean for you?
A wind up?
Being light-minded towards yourself?
Selective banter that has a tremendous amount of wealth. 

It’s that chuckle in the belly for me,
Or playing sport, laughing or working out a clue,
It’s about exuberance… as this is a chance to enjoy what you do.

It’s about fun 
It’s about what makes you smile,
Sometimes it’s being around the ‘right’ people,
Lifting spirits and not feeling vulnerable or feeble.

It could be combat, watching a comedy or reading a book to learn,
Tomorrow is another day so embrace,
Learn to have fun, however that looks like in your world which you look to face.

Fun is great
We don’t do a lot of it to be fair,
We work hard and worry a lot,
Try to have fun.., that’s worth a shot.

Jason
3rd August 2026

You are here today…

​I won’t give up
But some days I want to call it a day, 
Yet God gave me this life, so now… I shan’t throw it away.

I have tried to take my life twice
Each time God said: “No it’s not your turn.”
Some people worried about me, some gossiped about my desire to ‘call it a day’.
I just wanted them to leave me alone, saying: ‘I just don’t want to be here, so do the decent thing and go away.’

I won’t give up now
I still suffer low moods which sometimes I can’t comprehend from where they arrived.
I know today, I speak to the Samaritans, these guys are angels and they shall keep you alive.

Look for the light
And if your can’t see it, make something up to keep you here today
Tomorrow cannot be controlled… so please… brother and sister… remain here and simply stay.

A sports mind.

​A sports mind is a great one to follow 
You can get in the mix of the action, or allow yourself to be swallowed.

A sports mind is a strong-mind
But it can be exposed to fragilities too, 
Losing is not negotiable so you head out achieve, 
This part of your life shall drive you to believe.

I am an exerciser….
I want the challenge to take place every day, 
I know I will achieve something from something presented which is hard
I know I have the desire to no longer feel barred. 

I am strong 
But can be exposed as weak, 
I just need to test myself so I know the level which I am able to peak. 

It’s not about having a great body, 
It’s about having a great mind to achieve the goals, 
Exercise may not be everyone… but one thing its doesn’t do to you, and that is to make you become complacent or slow. 

Jason
3rd August 2026

Safe space

​Some people want to release their words, 
Nothing wrong with that, 
I protect my guard, therefore I choose not always engage,
People looking to object, that isn’t my style or the book I see on my page. 

Some people don’t make you comfortable in the conversations which they raise, 
They start with a ‘how are you? To lure you in 
I know their game to converse to say one or two words to not sound rude
A conversation isn’t my priority as I love to write and relay my words
Opening an expression, that’s where my point isn’t argued with and can’t be heard. 

I prefer to keep people at arms length
Conversations these days form too many debates. 
I rather sit back and laugh to lift my vibe
God bless you, today we already face an almighty tide.

One day at a time
No more, and no less, 
Patience with yourself, as aspirations can run true
I rather to speak to my God… wouldn’t you??

Jason
3rd August 2026

Keep returning..

​I exercise everyday
I keep going as it’s the best way to keep the mind at bay.

I train to excess, but learn there is a goal to achieve,
It gives you belief to keep going and working it out, 
The yell of a heavy lift is always worth a shout.

It’s tension that needs to leave 
Some chat, and some prefer to train
I prefer the latter, that gives me peace I am able to maintain. 

Keep returning to exercise 
It’s a great way to start your day, 
It’s saves me personally from moaning, or speak about things that you can do nothing about,
I rather exercise.. that gives anyone tremendous clout.

Jason
3rd August 2026

Given a glimmer of hope

​Remain humble during the day,
There is a prayer not too far away,
Simple words that make me rejoice
I know through the spirit we all have a voice.

We may have been addicts 
People going to the very edge,
That’s why we go to meetings and hear the A.A. pledge.

We could have been gone hence grateful for this new life,
Now is all we have, as this situation is not always black and white.

As I write these words I wish you a blessed week,
And that you take this life gradually as openings shall appear and no longer need to seek.

People who we still miss

​If the shoe was in reverse would I want them to miss me when I am gone, 
I would want them to live their ‘best’ life and turn things right from things that went wrong. 

If they said, ‘I miss that git, where are they when you need them?’
You then proceed to make a few mistakes and fall time and time again, 
Thereby focusing is imperative my learned friend. 

The fact is they are not here, 
The harsh truth, as God has put them in a place where there’s hope and no more fear. 

We say goodbye, 
We say ‘hello’ one day again soon,
I am simply writing these words to express my feelings, and not humming someone else’s tune.

What does fellowship mean to you…. (A.A poem)

​What does fellowship mean to you?
A connection of being astound light-minded people who understand the place you have been, 
It lightens the burden and avoids us to sin. 

What works for you may not with someone else, 
But opening up and telling your story, 
Remember you are leaving this with your higher power, they capture the glory. 

The aim is to heal, 
And be around people you appreciate your need to care, 
And the balance comes from a prayer first thing of day
The negativity shall soon go away. 

The connection is powerful
The connection shall be put in place, 
Read the A.A. big book, especially pages 84-86
Which brings reflection and add perspective into the mix.

We are who we are…..

​Some people are light minded
Some need to probe and ask questions, 
Some need a dialogue of conversations
This is the part when you choose, 
Otherwise you shall end up a cropper to eventually lose. 

Some people are wonderful and kind 
Some people have a bee in their bonnet and want to argue, 
Those are the people you need to leave alone and hand over to God,
Basically you are praying for them and refuse calling them a ‘sod’.

Some people are big
And some people are thin, 
All that matters is that we embrace each other as the outcome has no worth, 
Remaining hopeful removes negativity that often hurts. 

Some people are kind
Some people show love, 
Some people are holding to hope and ask prayers,
Today is all we have, relax for a moment the higher power is there. 

Relax
Take your time,
Surround yourself with good people and avoid people who try to rile, 
Ignoring them is an art form, and that attribute can take a while.

Praying for a chance

​We ask God to be there when we are in need
Being a person who loves their higher power, is a full time job… indeed. 

Yet, I love it
I love looking to God every single second of the day, 
I know I feel protected through a powerful prayer, 
It’s more than knowing they are omnipresent… meaning everywhere.

I know there is balance when it is solemnly asked,
We can operate on an analytical stand point, and that is okay
But letting go, is free will as this method of approach is what I prefer to obey.

We ask God all the time to be our rock
As I know I would have been dead today if it wasn’t for the Father I wouldn’t be here writing these words 
Remain still and refuse to be disturbed.

Why silence is required

​Some people need to voice their views
Some people stay silent, then listen to their thoughts and become amused. 

Some people need to be still
For me, that’s the highlight of my recovery, when the voices inside of head need to leave
I need to be balance, have quiet and learn to receive. 

Silence has been my best friend, it can be yours
People wanting a conversation when it’s silence you crave and adore. 

Some people need stillness
And that’s the same for me, 
Too many words said can chain me, but I know through my higher power I am free.

Gifts

​We are all born with gifts, 
Undeniably, humbly and worthy to give your peers a lift. 

So don’t speak ill what you have 
Work on it, and show others what you can do
The world is honoured to see your skill, that you are able to pursue.

You see, I write,
I can only explain that the gift is flurry of words that enter the mind, 
Formed into a sentence, without stopping what you want to say
It’s a flow of creativity, which is guidance through a high power that stays. 

You see, use your gifts, 
Use the art that is held inside, 
Even if it’s scientific, look at practical solutions where a gift has been formed
A natural coordination which is to you, is the norm. 

Gifts are precious, use them with heart and soul
The exhalation is an aim to show the world what you can do, 
Exhibiting a pathway in this life you can ensue.

Life… your life

​I know it’s cliche
‘Live your life’, where commitments hold you back,
Say a prayer and leave it with God,
The spirit is always there guiding you when we ask,
That feeling is powerful and can ultimately last.

I was scared of life, where consequences exposed me at the end of the day, 
I thought I had an answer for everything, but in the end the higher power was the vessel that remained.

Today I feel blessed 
And a blessing is coming your way too, 
My eyes are no longer closed I happy to take a risk,
Life is not finite, so why not delve into a moment of bliss?.

Leave it with God first 
Leave it with prayer, 
We can always turn wrong into right through a prayer, 
As we can only see the present.. remember God is always here..

I know me…

​I know I can be difficult 
I know I can be awkward to be around,
I know my articulation can be cutting and not very profound.

I know I can be nice
As I treat others on how I’ll like to be treated,
The strength inside is too stubborn to be defeated.

Life is a journey 
No one shall know the answer when it shall end?
Yet it’s a humble feeling when you see your life, as there’s plenty to look forward to and transcend.

You are the life of the world 
Yet you question what you feel inside, 
Please be nice to you and others… it’s through God in whom we need to confide.

See the comparisions and not the differences (A.A. Poem)

​Do not compare, and look at the similarities, 
Be around light-minded people, and removing any fragilities. 

As I attempt to stay strong
Avoiding to have that paralysing drink,
Responsible for today and balancing the thoughts to avoid me to sink.

Thank you for today
As I leave that in God’s hands, 
This will remove the chance to have isolating thoughts, 
As all shall pass today, as I am no longer in that place that haunts. 

Things will occur for a reason;
As it’s said when bad news does arise, 
Pray and leave this with your higher power before you fall
There is a spirit within you, so stand up and seek the path God chooses you to call.

People’s traits.

​There are some people that turn something you say into a argument, 
You will say something and they turn your words around, 
You just shared an opinion but it’s an argument they choose to have found. 

And there are some people who like to start with laughter and say a joke, 
These are called ‘light minded people’ those are my kind of folk. 

Some people are worriers, they worry because that’s the way they are. 
The say the words ‘ahhh’ all the time, and that is okay, 
They need to relax a little, as sometimes I would like them to go away. 

You see the world is about connecting 
Understanding experiences, were some are unique and others not perfect
But ultimately we need to be surrounded in a safe space.. 
that’s wonderfully feeling, gentle as the words are not at all argumentative or cause haste.

I got a chance to pick yourself up..

​I had a chance
I did the work through the 12 steps, 
Moving away from addiction and that place which would have lead to death
I am so pleased I have fellowship otherwise I would have faced death. 

One thing at time, 
It’s a marathon and not a sprint, 
You get no reward for doing everything fast, 
You need to be patient with yourself first, that sort of balance shall last. 

Today is all we got, 
I have said that a few times before, 
Yet it still remains true from the journey we endure
We should sought laughter and plenty more. 

You love who you love
And care for who you choose to care, 
I love you, even if I never meet you again
Take these words of comfort, a safe space we all ought to depend.

From time to time

​From time to time you need to do something gregarious 
It can be anything from doing a bungee jump from going on a long cruise 
You eventually will need to chill out from all the effort and need to take a snooze. 

You need to ‘just do it’ and not debate with the mind
I wished knew what I know now, but that is the lesson of life
Hindsight is a wonderful thing… as long you don’t carry rife. 

Be kind to your body, heart and soul
Try to be positive in your outlook, as nothing is perfect, so please let it go…

I suggest say a prayer and leave it with God handle
The prayer will manifest and will be managed at all angles. 

So enjoy, stay and leave it with God
The higher power shall put you in a better place,
I know that today is all we have, as life is sometimes difficult to embrace.

How to write a poem….

​The feeling of writing poetry is a smoothness which never leaves, 
It’ can be about anything in life, mainly from what you start to believe. 

For me, it’s about God
The one we all answer to, 
No point in arguing about hate or blame culture, which appears to be a sport for today
I rather those discussion go away. 

I am blessed to write and speak from the heart, 
I look at the last word and see what it can rhyme with… so therefore, this sentence shall depart. 

Poetry can be about knowledge, kindness, love and what you are not sure 
I know there is a world out there so broken… which none of us choose to have more. 

So forgiveness and love
Or moving on from people you even do love,
I know someone is looking over us for protection, so reflect when one day you are looking at the skies up above.

From generation to generation…

​You see, us Brits like to moan
I am pleased.I love God first, there I won’t leave the Father alone. 

I rather not moan, I prefer to pray,
I rather encourage people and not speak ill, 
No job today is easy.. so we have to roll our sleeves up and accept what is real.

There is strange behaviour from generations which we can’t fathom, 
They call it ‘the progressive era’ where things are modified through A.I. And technology which cause more problems than it’s worth, 
It’s made us far more impatient, as our brains start to hurt. 

What an era we are facing,
Everything is fast and has no time to breathe,
I know upping the pace is a good thing but sometimes a chill pill is what you believe. 

So goodbye as this passage shall eventually end
Working through another day and learn from the aspects where it can transcend,
Where it’s hard to speak to someone without an argument to manifest
This life for anyone has become an almighty test.

Birthday to be blessed

​You have shared and and showed so much care
That is what you do Vicky, our friend, 
The rooms from the place that you have provided us with hope, 
words which inspire, despite the pain you shared and from which we have all learned
This is a blessing from God where you are able to discern.

You look at the tally of years, 
That’s not important right now, 
This is to celebrate your day with us, 
God bless you Vicky, I know and feel no judgment from you and a high level of trust. 

You come across wonderful 
You are a blessing from God, no matter what you have put yourself through, 
Let’s celebrate this day Vicky, an honour and respect to you.

Today is your day, the 1st of August from what we all acknowledge and see
I and others thank the lord for your life, 
You are a blessing for your husband, children and grandchildren today and forevermore
Thank you Vicky as God willing there are plenty more birthdays to celebrate that are in-store.

“Happy Birthday Vicky x  Love from A.A. Fellowship xxx ❤️”

The world of recovery

​The world of recovery is a long, long road,
You shall see breakage but you shall also see repair,
The aim is to join as fellows and simply be there. 

The world is a struggle 
And recovery tends to be on the fore front,
Be humble to your body and please pray, 
that’s a conversation for you to stay..

The world is a big place 
And we stay in a small part of it to create comfort to our core,
Thank God for his mercy and grace 
As we seek peace when we reach that final place. 

Well done for getting this far
Well done you have accepted things need to change,
You shall recapture a new freedom and one that you’ll be able to sustain.

morning world

​good morning world 
As I slowly wake up and see,
I know I have people around, in my quest to be an authentic me.

Good morning world 
Have a great life,
It’s now time to move on, 
it’s clear apprehension but look to stay positive and strong.

Good morning world 
I need to take my time, 
Focus on the present and say the serenity prayer 
God is always with us in times that we declare.

Good morning world
I know I have messed up a bit, 
Time to walk this moment of faith and aspire to do good
The past is the past I shan’t return there again 
I have today to look forward to, my gentle and hopeful friend.

I tried it twice

Try ​entering into my thinking,
That’s hard at the best of times,
As these thoughts of madness need to warrant a kicked behind.

You see, it’s 2009, I didn’t believe in God and I couldn’t see the woods through the trees,
I was scared of life as an end of a relationship was the factor of my mind blowing,
I was depressed and suffered a mental health episode that stopped me growing.

I wanted life to end, I didn’t care as I wanted this life to go,
I wanted life on life’s terms… but the blanket of suffocation wouldn’t allow me to show.

I was 36 and thought I failed, and I gave up on people as I felt bleak,
God is my safety net which now I can truly seek.

I failed but I tried again in 2023;
My father died and I didn’t get on with the other family members, and I turned 50 years old, and to add my time with with the NHS ended.

The wheels fell off, my head couldn’t cope no more, I injected180 units as I proceeded to go to bed,
I wanted God to take me home
But it wasn’t my time to leave this earth as God wanted me to stay as there are plenty more poems to write and share through this walk I have lead.

“A suicidal attempt back in 2009 and 2023… thank the Lord”

Circumstances

​Some circumstances we can alll manage
Some circumstances are unforeseeable and may cause damage, 
Some circumstances bring us the light
And that one day we are able to come through any unpredictable fight. 

some circumstances cause a struggle
Some circumstances are of our own anccord which lead into trouble. 

Some circumstances shall bring you joy
And the euphoria shouldn’t be treated lightly, so don’t be coy. 

Some circumstances are the way forward for today
And that you are seeking a light that once wasn’t planted in the head, so pray and believe you shall be okay.

A blessed weekend

​Have a great weekend 
Whatever you choose to do, 
I pray for you to be in harmony and enter into the next phase of your life which comes from you.

Have a humble life
Have a prayerful day, 
Speak to your higher power, and I don’t just mean for today.

Enjoy this moment 
Enjoy the people who are nice and pray for you, 
Enjoy the light that shines the way
Thank you for your humility and conduct which never strayed. 

This is your journey after all
So learnt he balance, don’t go euphoric and balance the mind, 
If you are ‘all or nothing’ kind of person, that’s okay
But the tiredness will creep in and balance your mind and head
God bless you, so say your prayers for you go off to bed.
