Message from my guide

When we are needed,
We are by your side,
We're known as guardians,
And sometimes Guides.

When you are ready,
We will show,
For we are with you,
You will know.

Then we will show,
When we are there,
A tingling feeling,
In your hair.

When in church,
Where you are taught,
Just relax,
We are there in thought.

From birth to death,
We are bound,
To walk with you,
Along this ground.

We will help you out,
Bring others through,
This is not fake,
This is true.

With a message,
From the ones they love,
Comes through to you,
From us above.

This will help others
To feel uplifted,
Use your gift,
Because you are gifted.

In Solitude

Sitting here in solitude,
Overlooking the town.
The trees are looking beautiful,
And the houses are so brown.

The clouds are looking fluffy,
In the shades of light and grey.
It is really peaceful here,
I could sit about all day.

The sounds of small birds singing,
As I sit here in my car.
The small flowers near,
And the city is so far.

The smell of grass is lovely,
Its cut cos its so high.
The sound of the cars tyres,
As the traffic passes by.

I could sit for hours,
In this quiet street.
Overlooking Llandaf,
Where the trees are cut so neat.

Travelling through the countryside

The grass, the trees,
The mountainside,
You're travelling through,
The countryside.

The grass is long in shades of green,
Trees so high and trees so lean,
With autumn brown,
And summer green.

With houses scattered,
Some old, some new,
You're travelling through,
This lovely view.

You're passing fast,
At speeds so high,
The change of clouds,
In the grey - blue sky.

The Earthquake

I would like to tell you,
What lurks beneath the ground,
It sits there still for many years,
And doesn't make a sound.

Then one day you will feel,
The grounds beneath you shake,
The trees start falling over,
All cables loose like snakes.

Then the floor will open,
Wide cracks along the ground,
And a noise as loud as thunder,
With buildings falling down.

No body has control of it,
The shaking and the sound,
It's deadly and takes many lives,
The earthquake beneath the ground.

God Bless all those who have lost their lives in the disaster,

after the earthquake tsuname in December 2004.

Help the families of those who are missing and may not be found by their families,

help the souls of those many children who stood no chance with the waves so strong,

Help them to reach out to the light!



Angels

As I look up,
I see angels' wings,
I hear the sound,
As the angel sings.

I see the glow,
The brightest light,
This makes me smile,
a wondrous sight.

They look so light,
As they float aloft,
With faces bright,
Which look so soft.

They fade away,
As fast as they came,
The light goes out,
Like a candles flame.

Why did they come,
We'll never know,
With smiles so soft,
And skin like snow.

Angels - A message to you

 

When you look up and see the angel's wings
You think about so many things
Those daily things are you're choices
Because you cant hear the angels voices
Because you live upon this ground
You can't hear the song or the angels sound
When you're asleep we come to you
Within a light so bright and pure.

Becoming bold.

As I relax,
With my guides I see,
The people past,
They are so clear.

I ask for them,
To stand beside,
I feel protected,
There with my guide.

I feel a chill,
It's not the cold,
Loved ones draw close,
Becoming bold.

They give me clues,
Through ways of thought,
With memories,
Of things they bought.

They talk to me,
Like a living being
And they stand there,
As I am seeing.

The Tower

Into the Tower, we must go
There's people in trouble, We all know.

The towers stretch into the sky
Over one hundred storeys high.

As people run out every way,
They are in trouble they cannot stay.

Down the stairs, they must go lower,
To leave the danger of the tower.

For damage caused to the towers beauty,
We must go in, it is our duty.

As we go high we have to poke,
Because the thickness of the smoke.

It's getting hot as we go higher,
The intense heat of burning fire.

This is real, It's no dream,
As people run, and people scream.

As things drop of the damaged tower,
People hide and people cower.

We did not know it would fall,
We done our duty,
We gave our all.

WRITINGS

SOMETHINGS ARE WRITTEN
IN LOVE AND LIGHT
BY OTHER SOULS
WHO ARE OUT OF SIGHT

SOMETHINGS HAVE MEANING
AND OTHERS DON'T
SOMETHINGS
YOU'LL KNOW
AND SOME YOU WONT

SOMETIMES IT'S WRITTEN
IN UNUSED WORDS
THEY MENTION FLOWERS
AND EVEN BIRDS

IT MAYBE WRITTEN
FOR YOU OR ME
SOME MAYBE FACT
OR PHILOSOPHY

JUST WRITE IT DOWN
IT'S SO INTENSE
IT'S NOT UP TO YOU
TO MAKE GOOD SENSE

O' Dad we miss you

O' Dad we miss you O' so much,
It's been a sad long year.
We've thought about you so many times,
And all have shed a tear.

We know we had the best dad,
Of anyone on earth.
You took care of all six of us,
From the days of our birth.

You know we miss your laughter,
Your emotions as you cry.
We ask ourselves here everyday,
For the reasons why?

We know you're always with us,
From the messages we have had.
We know you'll always be there.
Cos you're our loving Dad.

Seasons

THE DAFFODILS ARE COMING
AND SOON IT WILL BE SPRING
AND ALSO COMES THE BLUEBELLS
AND THE SUNSHINE IT WILL BRING

AND SOON WILL BE THE SUMMER
THE SUN AND NO MORE RAIN
THE TROUBLE IS THAT WHEN IT'S HOT
THE DROUGHT IS JUST A PAIN

THEN THERE COMES THE AUTUMN
THE LEAVES GO GREEN TO BROWN
THEN SEVERAL WEEKS LATER
THEY ALL COME FALLING DOWN

ALONG COMES THE WINTER
WITH HIGH WINDS AND THE COLD
THE REALLY ICY WEATHER
LIKE THE WINTERS, WE HAD OF OLD

THEN THEY START AGAIN IN SPRING
AND WORK RIGHT THROUGH THE REST
THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT MEMORIES
WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE THE BEST?

Ponty Tumble

They came down from the valley's
From many miles around.
The hustle and the bustle,
Of the old market town.

They'd have their weekly meetings
As some lived miles apart.
Their hair was combed back perfect,
And they dressed up really smart.

Standing with his mates,
Looking really coy.
Wearing his leather jacket,
Like a proper teddy boy.

You can hear the voices mumble,
As they have their daily smoke.
Standing on the Tumble
As they have a laugh and joke.

When you're felling unhappy,
Depressed and really down.
Just watch the old T.v. programme,
Of the sixties Ponty town.

Written by David Boyce

Inspired by the
Wynford Vaughan Thomas History Programme
of Pontypridd Town in which his father,
Frederick James Boyce appeared several times
at the Ponty Tumble.
The footage has been shown on several history programmes.

The Garden

From season to season,
The weather changes fast.
With all the climate needed,
For the growing of the grass.

The grass in the garden,
Entwined with all the weeds.
New flowers planted recently,
Growing up from their seeds.

The flowers in the garden,
Ready for their bloom.
And up from their hiding place,
Pops the spreading wild mushroom.

Nature has a funny way,
To help these things to last.
To help their vibrant colours
And the greenness' of the grass.

Feeling Down

 


I don't feel right,
I feel all tense,
I'm feeling down,
It don't make sense.

I'm feeling down,
I feel a jerk,
I need time off,
I just can't work.

I need some help,
A counselling session,
To help me through,
Reactive Depression.

A problem spoken,
Is a problem halved,
I'm just not eating,
I'm feeling starved.

You will be right,
In a little time,
With all your might,
It will be fine.

You will be back,
To your true self,
Fighting fit,
With a perfect health.

So when you're down,
And feeling bleak,
Ask for help,
And you will seek.

Knights of Olde


We met a lady,
With a heart of gold
Who runs a place
Called the Knights of Olde

We wandered round
We walked for miles
Then we came across
Some happy smiles

When we called in
We'd have a laugh
With the management
And the waiting staff

The music played
The lovely sound
As we ate the best
For miles around

When we were there
We ate loads
At the best place
On the island of Rhodes

There is one thing
We would like to mention
Thanks very much
For all the attention!

In the shadow

I LOOK FOR YOU
IN THE SHADOW OF THE NIGHT
NOTHING TO SEE
YOU'RE OUT OF SIGHT

I ASK OUT LOUD
FOR YOU TO DRAW CLOSE
IT'S A LEARNING CURVE
FOR YOU AND ME BOTH

I SEE YOU THERE
IN THE DISTANCE YOU WALK
I WAIT A WHILE
FOR YOU TO TALK

I AWAIT YOUR HELP
I HAVE NO CHOICE
I DON'T HEAR YOU
I ONLY HEAR MY VOICE


WRITTEN BY DAVE BOYCE /04



Live, Listen and Look

 

Live for the morning
Live for the night
Feel for the fear
Feel for the plight

Listen for the learning
Listen for the sound
Listen very carefully
With your ear to the ground

Looking into nothing
Believing in your thought
Believe in what you're seeing
And loved ones will be brought

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE

A GIRL SITS IN THE CORNER
WAITING FOR HER MUM
THERES BEEN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT
TODAY SHE WILL NOT COME

MUM WAS ON THE WAY TO GET THE GIRL
WHEN A CAR DROVE INTO HER
IT WAS DRIVEN BY A DRUNK DRIVER
TO THEM IT IS JUST A BLUR

SOMEONE WILL NEED TO TELL THE GIRL
HER MUM HAS JUST BEEN KILLED
THE GIRL WILL CRY AND SCREAM ALOT
AND THE AIR WILL BECOME STILL

SO THOSE OF YOU WHO DRINK AND DRIVE
THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCE
PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE AGAIN
YOU KNOW THAT IT MAKES SENSE

Uncle Sam

The things I liked with Milbourne,
Where I lived most of my life
With my boy Steven
And Evelyn my wife.

I really did like Milbourne
And the people who I met
They'd go up to the shop for me
And also put on a bet.

I am a retired miner
The kids called me Uncle Sam
Especially young Shiner
The big bloke that I am.

I'd like to leave a message
To the people who I love
I said it lots of times before,
Peace Cuz !!

NIGHT FLIGHT

I'M FLYING ON AN AEROPLANE
UP IN THE SKIES ABOVE
FLYING AWAY ON HOLIDAYS
WITH THE ONES I LOVE

WE'RE GOING AWAY ON HOLIDAY
TO AN ISLAND WHICH IS NEW
THE FLIGHT IS GOING REALLY WELL
WITH REAL NICE CABIN CREW

WE ARE ALL WATCHING T.V.
TO GET US IN THE MOOD
WE'RE GETTING HUNGRY NOW
CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE OUR FOOD

THERE IS A BIT OF TURBULENCE
IT IS A BUMPY FLIGHT
IT'S STARTING TO GET DARK OUTSIDE
COS IT'S AN EVENING FLIGHT

WE BOUGHT THE AIRLINE HEADPHONES
TO HEAR THE T.V. SOUND
ONLY THREE MORE HOURS
AND WE'LL BE ON THE GROUND

CARDIFF TO RHODES FLIGHT


BY THE POOL

THE SUN IS HOT
THE POOL IS CALM
WE SIT BESIDE
THE LARGE GREEN PALM

WATER TRICKLES
LIKE A RUNNING STREAM
AS WE LAY HERE
RUBBING ON SUN CREAM

THE HOT SUNS RAYS
HITS OUR SKIN
THE POOL IS COOL
I THINK I'LL GO IN!

Thunder and Lightening

The black clouds are above us,
As we hear the thunder roar.
We are waiting for the rain to come,
When it does it will just pour.

We can see the clouds in front of us,
As they clash they open up.
Then the rain comes clashing down,
Like water from a cup.

As the rain comes heavier,
We make a running dash.
Then we see the lightening,
In the distance there's a flash.

This can be frightening,
This really is no dream.
The thunder and the Lightening,
Work together a s a team.

Will Power

Will power is something
That every one has got.
Whether you realise,
Or whether you do not.

Will power can help you through
The times which are so bad.
Will power will be there
When you are feeling sad.

Will power and determination,
Can always get you through.
Just ask for help from us above
And we can help you too!

The Lord gave us ....

The Lord gave us our legs to walk
To run and climb up high
The Lord gave us our arms to touch, to feel,
And to reach up to the sky

The Lord gave us our eyes,
To see our loved ones as our lives go by
Your eyes to show emotion
And to help us cry.

Your mouth to smile so happy
And frown when you're sad,
To talk to loved ones dearly
And shout when you are mad.

A nose he gave to us as well
As an extra power
To smell the things we need to eat
And the scents of nature's flowers.

Life's Trials and Tribulations

The memories of times gone by
The happy times of past
Some will always be there
And some will never last

Life's trials and tribulations
Are with you throughout your life
Whether it's having kids
Or marrying a wife

Things are sent to try us
Sometimes we can get low
You feel that you can't cope any more
And there's nowhere to go

Life's trials and tribulations
Don't think you can get by
For help, you only need to ask
Don't let the chance walk by

When you're feeling low one day
Just sitting round to mope
Think of those great memories
To help you get by and cope

Life's trials and tribulations
Not happiness and wealth
Remember all the happy times
At least you're in good health
