ON A WINTERS DAY

ON A WINTERS DAY
WHEN THE SKY IS GREY
AND THE TREES ARE TETHERED
YOUR SKIN IS ROUGH
AND LOOKS ALL WEATHERED
YOU’RE JOINTS ALL ACHE
AND YOU’RE FEELING OLD
THE SLIGHTEST BREEZE
AND YOU CATCH A COLD
YOU’RE HANDS AND EARS ARE FREEZING COLD
YOUR LIPS ARE FULL OF CRACKS
YOU PUT YOUR BIG THICK CLOTHING ON
AND THEN YOUR GLOVES AND HATS
WINTER WILL SOON BE OVER
AND WARMER TIMES WILL COME
YOU CAN WALK ABOUT IN T SHIRTS THEN
AND BATHE OUT IN THE SUN
SO WHEN THE SKY IS GREY AGAIN
DON’T THINK OF WEATHERS BAD
GET OUTSIDE IN THE FRESH AIR
AND YOU’LL FEEL REALLY GLAD

Problems
We are aware of problems
Which have recently transpired
You say that you have had enough
And you are feeling sick and tired
Look forward to the future
Don’t dwell upon the past
You’ll notice things will change for you
And those feelings will not last
Your family and friends can help
To get you back all right
Don’t rush cos it will take a while
Things can’t change over night
Sit down and talk to those you love
While you still have each other
It’s your choice to make today
You need the first step to recoverWritten by David Boyce

The one that you called DadWhen you are feeling lonely
Depressed and really sad
Think of someone special
The one that you called Dad.
Whenever he was needed
Your dad was always there
When things you needed fixing
Like the plumbing and a carpet on the stair.
He treated you with kindness
With love and lots of care
Because he’s no longer with us
You think he is not there.
Remember as a little child
He would make you smile so bright
If you had a nasty dream
He cwtched you up at night.Written by David Boyce

Relax and Respect

When you're in the mood
And the time is good
Relax by yourself
Cos you know you could

Get rid of the anger
Pent up inside
You will then feel relaxed
This will not be denied

Sit down in the quiet
Try to meditate
Within a short time
You'll be in a relaxed state

Ask for your guides
To come in and talk
You then know who is with you
On the path that you walk

Sit there and listen
With their help you will learn
Take note and acknowledge
Their respect you will earn

With your guides help
You will get some respect
And the knowledge you'll gain
Is not what you'd expect

You will have many guides
Through your life you will learn
With all of your willingness
Your spiritual light will burn

Cry and Call

As tears stream
Down from my eyes
No 0ne hears
My sorrow cries

I'm sitting here
I'm all alone
I'm breathing deep
Inside I mourn

My heart ache starts
When I'm alone
When friends and family
Have all gone home

With my dreams shattered
I feel the wrath
I can no longer
Hear your laugh

I feel you there
When my tears fall
I feel your touch
When I cry and call

Summer in Bloom

The sun is shining
There are no clouds in sight
The newly born birds
Are all out in flight

The plants and the flowers
Are starting to bloom
The early morne birds
Start singing in tune

The trees become greener
As the sunlight soaks in
The grass becomes longer
Until the owner starts cutting

They all need their water
To help their flowers come out
They will need to soak it up
Before there's a drought

For you my dad

For you my dad
Today we pray
Because you're missed
Here everyday

We pray for you
Every morning
To help me through
With everything

We miss your laughs
We miss the jokes
You brought me up
To be a good bloke

The love you gave
Can't be replaced
Nor can the smile
Off of your face

We pray for you
Last thing at night
When the moon glows down
And the stars so bright

Love decisions

Don't be trapped in a relationship
You no longer wish to be in
You need to break away from it
For a new life to begin

You don't have to put up with it
The trauma or the stress
It plays tricks to your state of mind
And your head ends in a mess

All you need is the courage
To say "enough is enough"
You will then feel much happier
And your life won't feel as rough

You need to realise yourself
What you're putting yourself through
You know within your heart my friend
That love decisions begin with you

When it's Time to Learn .

When it's your time
To learn some more
You'll feel it deep
Within your core

When it starts to flow
You won't feel rested
Throughout your sleep
You will be tested

Loved ones will come
Whilst you're in deep sleep
To test your memories
And see what you keep

You can but try
Just o ignore
‘til you acknowledge
They will not go

As tears flow

As tears flow down from your eyes
Like raindrops falling from the skies
The warm air makes it feel really close
Like the love we had between us both

As the tears fall upon the ground
You realise I'm no longer around
My death has caused you severe pain
So many tears like a stormy rain

When you see my name upon a letter
Don't cry for me cos I feel better
I am no longer in any pain
So please don't cry like the pouring rain

Blue sky and butterfly
The sound of water
As it overflows
The sprinklers on
For the plants to grow

The heat and brightness
From the sun
Shines down to earth
For everyone

No clouds bout
In the clear blue sky
A white butterfly
Goes floating by

This is a perfect
Time to take
For you to relax
And meditate

A Little Helping Hand

So many things can change
To your life everyday
The slightest of decisions
May lead a different way

Sometimes you'll get a feeling
When things aren't so bright
It's probably your helping guide
Showing you the way that's right

If there's any big decisions
Which you can't understand
Sit quiet and ask your guide
For a little helping hand

They cannot make your decisions
But they can help you along
Listen to your inner feelings
And you shouldn't go far wrong

Ta' ra my love

Ta'ra my love
My time has come
But we will always
Be as one.

Don't be so sad
Don't go and hide
I will always be
By your side.

Remember the times
We'd go and walk
The things we promised
When we sat and talked.

Please talk to friends
About me love
I will be watching
From up above.

You'll notice changes
When I'm about
The coldest breeze
In the warmest house.

Light a candle
And watch its ember
It will flicker loads
For you to remember.

Spirit , Souls and Goals

The distance between the living
And the spirits is not great
Living in the same ether
When you die, they separate

Your spirit body lies within
From the time you are conceived
And your new life just begins
This is what is believed

The things which happen through your life
Are imprinted in your soul
Everyone's tests are different
And have their own life's goals

So when you lose a loved one
This is one of your life's tests
Although the loss brings heartache
Deep within your chest

If your feeling bad remember
The love is deep within
Your spirits will rejoin again
And your love again begins

That Loving Smile

Please ,Please , Please ,
You're doing really great
You feel a little low right now
And it's just yourself you hate.

You need a bit of cheering up
To get that smile right back
Within a couple of weeks from now
Your true self will be back.

You need to get out a little more
For you to socialise
To meet someone new to love
You will see it in their eyes.

You will meet the right one, I promise
I will send him across your path
After a little time alone together
You will both have a laugh.

So don't you let that true love
Really pass you by a mile
Go with your inner feelings
And you'll have back that lovely smile.

Cos that's the only way.

Indicate to others
What you really need
Cos it will be a disaster
If you don't succeed.

Some times you'll leave things open
For others just to think
But to let them use their own thought
It will take them to the brink.

If the correct ending
Is what you need to gain
Give the information needed
For interest to sustain.

You may learn that sometimes
It is easier just to say
What you really need in life
Cos that's the only way.

Respect

There are certain things don't come with jobs
Like some people automatically expect
One thing must be earned, you know
And it's something called Respect.

You shouldn't talk to people
Like they've just left a slum
Because you won't gain respect
And you'll be treated back like scum.

So when you talk to others
Talk at their level and not below
Then you might earn a little respect
This eventually will grow.

Respect is earned in many ways
Like with loyalty and tact
Respect is not with any title
And that is a well known fact.

Independent

To be independent
Don't necessarily mean alone
You still have your loyal friends
To see you safely home.

They may not be your best friends
But the ones you can rely
They are always there to talk to
When you need to have a cry.

So when you're feeling lonely
And need help through this long day
Don't think you're alone my friend
In a independent way.

You can contact us through thought or speech
Any time of the day
We will also listen carefully
If at night you wish to pray.

Your Spirit Friends

There are many people who you know
That you can call a friend
But there is that one person
Who you can always depend.

Not everyone can see them
You think sometimes they hide
Some know them as angels
But they are simply your guides.

They come in many human forms
And animal disguises
They change their form sometimes as well
To give individuals surprises.

Some you will see as but a child
Because they don't want to frighten
Some you will see middle aged or older
To lift your spirits and enlighten.

So if you're felling lonely someday
Talk to your spirit friends
Cos they walk with you in your life
And will be there when it ends

Remember our brave

Remember those who fought for us
So many years ago
They fought for our liberty
So we didn't need to anymore.

They fought in all the seasons
Their clothes were sometimes drenched
Rut they missed their loving families
As they fought in their trench.

The battlefield was full of bodies
Of the men all killed at war
It was a high price to pay with lives
So we need not fight no more.

So many didn't return home
For us they gave their lives
They did not see their new families
Newborn children or their wives.

So on the next Armistice day
Think of the Brave still lost
For those we still can pray
For their life was the cost.
