Everything is temporary

​All things are temporary 
All things have there moment that awake, 
I know that I am too broken, so I am ready to restart and re-make.

All things can be an initial shudder
The mind will shift and it’s hard to fathom,
Take your time, it shall be okay
Just be in the present, most things are random.

We are temporary ourselves, 
So go out other and stop procrastinating, 
Some people are into praying 
Others are into gossip and debate,
It’s only through our higher power that each of us shall see our humble fate. 

I pray for you to have a beautiful life
Despite the slips it may bring,
If I had to speak to my younger self I would have drank less alcohol, avoid gossip.. as I know God eventually removed that sin. 😉

Col and Max ❤️

​An angel meets another angel
What else can I say, 
I pray for these souls to work and pray they go all the way.

They are blessed with love, banter, chaos and peace,
They are wonderful together, God has protected them at the very least.

Max with her angelic voice 
Col with this graft and gracious charm,
As this is a world not too far away, 
As God has these two to keep in sight
May the heavens open and possess a glorious light.

Col and Max may the spirit within show you what’s insight,
Take today, this present moment in time
As the essence of this path is spiritually divine.

This life..

​This life can be interesting,
On the journey you are about to face,
You don’t know what’s around the corner, sometimes you do or don’t tend to embrace. 

This life can lead to gossip,
Talking to discuss the latest issues going on,
It’s the people who remain and learn, is to be in a place where you do belong. 

I rather be still
And sometimes say nothing at all,
My peace is my comfort, always chatting isn’t for me, 
Have faith in you and others, the truth shall set you free. 

It’s about the art of patience,
It’s the art of loving yourself and others too, 
A frown pulls 28 muscles and a grin to smile is simply 4,
Where there is hope, kindness, love and happiness.. plus there is plenty, plenty more in store.

What are you looking to risk?

​We may know a lot 
But what is the original idea to come up with regulation or law?
Is there something in the ether looking for something more.

It’s based on strategy
Placing people where they want them to be,
As more often than not the perception is difficult to see. 

Human nature leads us to be guided or do something exciting,
And that can lead to something ‘adrenaline like’ and often frightening.

It’s of course it is good to play it safe
Get your foundations in order and a humble safe space, 
But then again, your inner wanting to know comes into it.. so pray that is a humble and often enlightening place.

Nothing is forever

​certain things are not forever,
Healing in prayer can’t be seen as the ‘never never’.

Allow your spirit to lead 
You are a blessing for the utmost high,
The present is all you have so it isn’t a goodbye. 

Poems I write, is for us all
There is always a protection, to me? “I interpret that to be a higher call”.

For me? It’s sobriety
That’s my full time job,
Seeing people for connection through a drink, 
is hard for me to do.. that’s what I think! 
I now I have today
What can I do with it to make it work,
People’s issues are left with their higher power, so from there I’ll continue to say ‘nothing is forever”, these words I shall disperse.

The person I fell in love with

​I love you
It’s as simple as that,
God brought us together,
I am now in Birmingham and you are in London… as that won’t stay like that forever.

I love you Ruth 
It’s a great biblical book, 
A balance of God is inside us both
We want to excel in our Father… that’s never could be called a ‘won’t’. 

I love you Ruth 
You taught me how to love again,
God has brought us together, as I can now call you my best friend.

I love you Ruth 
Our talents can align,
As long we put God at the centre of it, we shall simply be just fine.

Work, rest and pray

​Today is a blessing because you are here,
Working is part of the nourishment 
Rest is the part not to get too weary,
Stop, reflect on the good times not everything has to be a theory.

Working is good for the mind
It gives you structure and purpose to grow,
Resting is the part of your when you need to take stock and learn to go slow. 

Praying is the motivation to keep you going on,
Praying can be a revelation and consequently shall lead your body, heart and soul to have a sense to belong. 

Work to provide
Rest to stay alive
Pray to your higher power to start anew,
Like the morning sun which brings calm, hope and all of the above.. which we already knew.

16 years

​16 years and fought the tears, 
Thank you for being there in my hour of need, a great man who guided me in the deception of drink,
You have spiritual lead qualities which did indeed made me think.

Well done
A birthday to saviour
A birthday to add the years to,
16 years sober
A champion in your own right and didn’t treat the fellowship as a loner. 

A good man 
A man worthy of respect, 
It’s only God he fears from the time he surrendered the devilish booze,
He has now reached a 16th birthday and prays a day at a time, never again to use.

Happy birthday Ronnie,
Your namesake is greatest snooker player ever,
In these circles of sobriety circles his head is light and soul blessed,
And most importantly of all is on a continual journey and shouldn’t settle for anything less.

“Happy 16th sobriety journey🙏🏽”

Out of the comfort zone

​stay cautious 
Stay humble and bright,
That is how you are seen, no need to stay in the fight.

Stay bright
Stay motivated and focused,
This world can be quite cunning at times, just like hocus-pocus.  

Stay being you 
The best version you seek to find,
And ultimately you remain humble and kind.

Look to the world
Never leave it in the way others who like to mayhem to surround,
It is the calling from your spirit to have found.

Transitioning

​change is important 
And often it’s a leap of faith, 
Going through this transition is so powerful and temporary,
It will be okay, and soon shall be exemplary.

Change is good, and change is strong, 
Rigidity is another ‘work in progress’
And not everyone gets to understand
But this change is powerful and a depth that shall mentally land.

Change is the leap of faith you seek to deploy, 
Staying in your comfort zone is what we all want,
But life puts you in a place where your higher power needs you to be
And that hope is what you shall eventually see.

Change is natural
Even though you feel you are forced,
I miss people being around the corner but that shall change, 
may your spirit hold onto each and everyone of you… now enter onto the next page.

You must try

​You must try
Heal and then grow, 
I remembered once I felt I had it all and life was simple 
What I awaits I was unprepared and lead me to feeble. 

You must try
and then take it day by day, 
The present is all we have, we say this in A.A. Meetings
It’s a soothing of hope as you’ll never be fleeting.

It will be okay
I know this journey isn’t forever, 
Things will happen, God shall step in 
Look after yourself, that isn’t sugar coated words at all,
Working through life can be humbling and no doubt you shall face struggles,
Praying is not questioning, that overthinking can lead you towards troubles. 

So try
Do not doubt, 
lead with the spirit, close your eyes and pray 
Trying pragmatically with God at hand
Nothing can harm you with a prayer…as I suggest pray and stand.

Happy birthday mummy D

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

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

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

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

“Happy Birthday Deborah”

Kindness in a bottle

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

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

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

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

One day at a time

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

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

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

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

Taking the next step

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

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

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

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

“We have today.. yes, so pray”

Sober today

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

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

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

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

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

“Blessed and thankful as sober”

What I won’t miss

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wanting a change..

​Prayers do get answered
Yet love of others shall remain  unchanged,
This is a great thing for us all,
There will be challenges, and there shall be falls.

But change in inevitable 
Things don’t always stay the same, 
Tomorrow is a blessing from what we can see,
We all possess gifts and seek what we need.

Prayers are the answer
Believe that or not,
I choose not to argue with you, as I know my God is my ‘free will’ too,
Our anchor, our love and our hope in our walk with me and you. 

So prayers shall be answered if required by God,
There is hope and a desire to see you okay,
As remember this (and I’ve said this before)… it shall be okay.🙏🏽

Thinking and thinking

​We can over think, 
I think most of us do, 
Especially when there is change
And you are wondering how your mind shall rearrange.

We can over think
I know that I do, 
My mind is working out the next step
Thinking, plotting and working it out
And praying that God will intervene to do what I want to go about. 

We can overthink
We can do it to excess, 
Looking for opportunities, when perhaps you need to let things go
No need to overthink, as you need to leave the mind alone. 

We can overthink 
What choice do we have, 
Especially when the head is feeling the heat
And that the God of your understanding withstands any of his children’s facing defeat.

“Over thinking”

Thank you my friend.

​Thank you for your time 
Thank you for being you, 
You may not know what you have done to support this friend, 
Perhaps it was a smile, those small things we can’t always comprehend. 

Thank you for your love
And thank you for your hugs when tears were leaving my face
This life of yours should never become a waste. 

Thanks you for your company
Thank you for the time when you gave me peace, 
You said nothing and that helped tame my inner beast.

Thank you for being you
You have a wonderful and beautiful soul, 
Tomorrow is another day, as I thank you my friend
The road to recovery will pose many questions which have no answers, 
Today you are moving forward with joy and hope
You shan’t need to delve on that slippery slope. 

Thank you my friend
You a blessing which God provided, 
I just wish there were more of you by making you divided.
