Daves 2008 Poems


Here are 20 poems i have written in 2009.

 


Delighted

I want people to be delighted
About the things they've done
Because they don't realise what's been achieved
The way others know they can.

You started off with nothing
And began with writing words
You don't know where they came from at first
But you cannot get them curbed.

Throughout your life you'll continue
To write down poetry and rhyme
Until you have to join us
And it becomes your time.

So until that day keep writing down
The thoughts you have in word
Don't matter if it sounds silly
Or even quite absurd.

Many words you'll write for others
But to you they will mean nothing
To those who read them everyday
They will find them very comforting.

So until you get your calling card
You will write poems to share
Because that's part of your life's learning
And to show that you do care.

When tears

When the tears form on your eyelids
And start to run down your face
The hurt and sadness surrounds you
As your loved ones in another place

They have passed from this world of sorrow
To a place of peace and calm
But the hurt is so strong
Cos you can't hold them in your arms.

You think of the ones you love
And the ones you've lost
And the thought of getting them back
No matter what the cost.

Life sometimes feels very cruel
Because they've taken the one you love
But they will never be far away
As they watch over you from above.

To My Dad

Its been five years since you have left
And broke all of our hearts
You've left a gap that can't be filled
In any of its parts.

You know we talk to you everyday
And sometimes I have a cry
But I know you're looking down at us
Way up in heavens sky.

I think of you on sunny days
With that great big wicked smile
And I think of you on cloudy days
Walking your last mile.

You know that we all miss you
Because you are our dad
But on the 13th of April every year
I can't help feeling sad.

To you i owe all that i have
And the comfort that you gave
With love and light and happiness
From your son , Dai Dave.

Love you always and forever

Life after death

Many centuries have passed
With scientists trying to get facts
But the after life is far beyond
The remedial simple tasks.

Every day someone will get a message
No one else could have known
From a loved one who has left this earth
Many visions will be shown.

The fact of life after death
Is plain and very clear
It is up to many mediums
To act on their seer's.

So don't think too much of science
And remain with just the fact
You have a gift you can share
But is purely not an act.

The power you will gain in thought
Can never be explained
Because only you can communicate
With the knowledge you have gained.


Written by David Boyce -13 April 2008


Many chances

 

Some people take many chances

Whilst they are on this earthly plain

They don’t think of a consequence

Or a love once lost or pain

 

Some people take many chances

Which luckily turn out right

This makes them become wealthy

And smile with much delight

 

Some people take many chances

Which ultimately turn bad

Sometimes it’s financially difficult

Which makes that person mad

 

Some people take many chances

Dealing with it day by day

But ultimately they do not learn

And in the future they will pay

Believe in Spirit

Believe in the good
Believe in the bad
Believe when you're happy
Believe when you're sad

Believe when you're up
Believe when you're down
Believe when you smile
Believe when you frown

Believe when you're young
Believe when you're old
Believe in spirit
Believe in the soul

Message from a child

Tell mammy that I love her
Tell daddy I love him too
Tell them I remember the time
They took me to the zoo.

Tell mammy that I loved the dress
On my last Birthday photo
But I am very sad as well
Because I really had to go.

My body was taken over
By an illness that was strong
And I still hear all the prayers you send
In all the time that I have gone.

I know that you both miss me
And I miss you too, mam and dad
But have a happy smiley face
Don't you both be sad!

Hiya Son

Hiya Son I'm back again
to write some solemn words
It's not about some other people
The trees or even the birds.

I've come to give you a message
So you'll know that I'm around
Because you wonder when I visit
And I am on this sacred ground.

To that there is no exact answer
As I will differ every day
I will be there when you need me most
When you don't I'll stay away.

When you ask me for some answers
To help you cope with days just like tomorrow
I can send you all the love and light
But you will need to deal with your own sorrows.


Written by David Boyce - 12 April 2008


Complications

Some people live with complications
All the way through their life
They might not share their love at all
With a husband or a wife.

The complications are sometimes issues
Which rattles their brains
They need to figure how to let it go
So that love can be regained.

Sometimes they will have health problems
They don't want to talk about
Instead the stress is pent up
So all they do is shout.

Remember everyone has complications
And can cope much better than others
They may feel just like a loner
Because they have no sisters or brothers.

Some people can't cope with complications
Or with the stress pent up inside
This is why they lose their will to live
By committing suicide.

If you know someone is suffering
With complications deep within
Help their soul get back on track again
For their life to re begin.

Remembrance Day

The wind blows hard,
The clouds are grey,
But we stand to remember,
Those lost today.

For those lost in the air,
We salute the sky,
With a fond memory,
And a teary eye.

For those lost in battle,
And died in tanks,
We salute you all,
And send our thanks.

For those who lost their lives on foot,
And died at someone else's hand,
We salute you all,
Together today we stand.

For those who lost their lives at sea,
Whose bodies were not retrieved,
We stand and salute you as well,
Because you gave your own life for me.

For those all lost in wars gone by,
So many tears today still cried,
So November 11th we stand and pray,
They gave for us to have our today's.

Christmas time yearly

This time of year is very hard
For those who are left behind
We need a little thoughtfulness
And for people to be kind.

We miss those who passed over
Who were the ones we loved
Although we cannot care for them
They look over us from above.

We send our thoughts out to them
So we know they are around
They sometimes send us messages
Whilst we walk this earthly ground.

So for all those who are missing them
Who have had to leave us early
The times we think of them most
Is Christmas time yearly.

On Christmas day those thoughts will flood
You may even have a tear
But a tingle and the loving thought
You will know that they are near.

I will walk with you forever


I will walk with you forever
Wherever you will be
To the Top of the mountains
Or the bottom of the sea.

In life we had a close bond
In the ether it will stay
To hold that bond together
As we communicate every day.

When you are with family
I will watch you from far
I will be your traffic angel
When you are driving in your car.

But most of all we need to know
I will walk with you forever
Because you share a part of me
like me you are so clever.

Don't rush to get the answers
What life after death may be
Because you have that gift of faith
Through my eyes you will see.


Written by David Boyce -13 April 2008


Come close

Come close and hear the whispers
From a loved one far away
Who will help you to communicate
With their loved one here today.

Come close and listen carefully
From what is being said
Because you will get messages
From some who they class dead.

Come close and open up your mind
And let the true thoughts flow
Because you can give a message
To someone who is very low.

Come close and watch the visions
like pictures on a screen
They show you special moments
Through their eyes which they had seen.

Come close and give me a message
From a loved one far away
With upliftment love and comfort
You will really make their day.

New Year challenge

The heavenly father said to me,
Don't just wait for change,
Focus on what you want to do,
The New Year is in range.

Don't hesitate to set a challenge,
But don't set your sights too high,
Or you will not complete it,
And opportunities will go right by.

It don't matter what you want to change,
But what you chose give it your best,
It will help you in your life ahead,
Treat it like another test.

The railhead shines

The railhead shines so brightly,
As you look along the track,
The junctions ahead of you,
Shine and look like cracks.

The new signals shine so clear,
Now it's a fibre optic lens,
The signals are more prominent,
With the signal it now sends.

The winter sun is shining bright,
And seems to be quite low,
With no clouds in the clear skies,
It gives a nice blue glow.

Keith

It is with great sadness
We stand here today
For a man of courage
We have to pray.

With great respect
We worked together
Many old memories
We shared forever.

In old times past
He worked the trains
But with an illness
Sometimes a strain.

Today we grieve
At this sad time
To remember Keith
On the running line.

For his family left
We shall all feel sad
But we smile for a memory
Of old we had.

So today we pray
For a Special friend
Who fought a battle
To the bitter end.


Written by David Boyce - 16 April 2008


In memory of a Good Friend and Colleague
Keith Kinson who sadly passed away April 2008.


Your regrowth

The end may be here for many,
But far away for some,
The end of life will be with you,
When it's time to come.

Don't attempt to do things silly,
To help this time along,
Because if you haven't learnt your life's lesson,
You won't be gone for long.

For many will rejoin this earth,
As this is where your soul grows,
But no matter whom you are,
You don't know where your soul regrows.

Dreams are so many

Dreams are so many,
We don't understand them all,
Some come from the spirit world,
And may be a wakeup call.

Dreams are significant,
In many ways and forms,
They give you simple messages,
In voice with simple tones.

Dreams give you pictures,
Which you may not understand,
But they will become clearer,
Like writing in the sand.

Dreams can justify,
Acknowledgement from the past,
From relatives who loved you dearly,
For their memories to last.

True welsh


We talk about our origins
For some they are unknown
We talk about our grandfathers
And the places they had grown.

We ask about our Welshness
This is right close to our heart
But we need to go back centuries
To make a truthful start.
So many of our ancestors
Did travel many miles
Some came from Ireland, Scotland ,England
And across the waters miles.
They came with hope inside them
To get their families better wealth
But many had employment
This ruined their health.
So as long as you were born in Wales
Keep it closed inside your heart
For you possess the passion many want
From the day that your life starts.
It don't matter where you came from
Or where you're going to
Like Porthcawl rock you're stamped for life
And you're Welsh , through and through.

Drilling Oil

Beneath the seas
To the foreshores
Its' rich with fuels
To the great earth's core

Beneath the sand
And the rocky ground
The giant drills
Will thump and pound

They drill so deep
And place on a cap
To extract the oils
Like a water tap

The pressures huge
For the oil is vast
Beneath the seas
It will not last

To profit more
They may drill faster
Which could very well
Cause a large disaster
