I met a chap today
A pleasant humble soul,
Chatty, kind and focusing on a career changing role
He is going into teaching, looking at a curriculum that is never-ending, and a trade that shall never go.
Well done Ben,
Give it your all,
God is holding you, and all you can do is try
Looking at the positives, and if it doesn’t workout then say ‘goodbye’.
This is a positive message,
One inspired by you for giving this new career a go,
It doesn’t have to be glamified with colourful words as this is the turning of a next page
I pray for you my friend, as this is the next stage.
Enjoy the education and the chance to learn something new,
You appear to have the guile my friend, now go off and pursue.
“Wishing Ben from the FFP all the best in his teaching endeavours”

All the best… one door closes..etc
Addictions… one for the road.
One for the road.
That was the way it use to be,
People meeting up through addictions, where they saw a crossroad they weren’t able to see.
You see addictions is blind!
Some people can be in total control,
We are blinded by the madness and didn’t want to take it slow.
I thought I was in control
And to be honest, my controlling ways was demonstrated time and time again
Today, I simply need to answer to God, and the ‘12 step’ Big Blue book and my spiritual friend.
I wanted chaos
I wanted the madness to match my mind,
it’s a bit like my weight lifting session,
I would go for the heaviest and dangerous weight
as eventually there came a stand still.. where I was able to see.. and no longer debate.

My Yiayia, Florenza
My Yiayia (Nan in English) Florenza Nikiforou,
The Nan and friend that I miss every day
The one who kept me calm when doubts entered my mind,
She couldn’t read or write, but I wouldn’t change her for the world as her language was love and learn to be kind.
She was my champion
She was my friend,
She was my zeal when I faced traumas that I couldn’t manage,
I was blessed to have her for the time she stayed on this earth,
She was my ball of love where hope brought its worth.
Yiayia Florenza, it’s been over 30 years and still remember your beautiful face,
She was my hope, my light and my warm embrace.
She made you a cup of tea without asking,
Because she knew you were in need to replenish,
Her type no longer exist as today we live with impatience which is rather hellish.
It’s like that old saying: “ They don’t make them like they us to”
And in her instance that was so true, thanks the heaves she was born, lived and travelled to the heavens ensue.

Everything in God’s timing
You ponder what’s going on
Yo carry out a leap of faith,
I want to work this desire and make sure I won’t use any haste.
I am writing these words and wonder where they shall end,
This is love of a higher power, the translucent hero and the one to defend.
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to your needs,
Be kind to your hopes and the spiritual nourishment which you shall feed.
Be loving and learn that God wants nothing but the best
You will find a way through this, and that comes from a deluge of zeal and zest.
Be hopeful and be with the sun
And even when it isn’t shining, the rain can always be humble and fun.
I need peace
And I will receive it one day,
The loud chaos one entertains, I rather stay away.
