Daves 2012 Poems


Poems written in 2012
 All seasons wrapped in one

Early morning it starts to rain,
This slowly turns to hail and sleet.
Puddles become deep and cold,
Crunching right beneath our feet.

To the left we have black rain clouds,
To the right the sun is so intense,
In the middle there are grey hazy clouds,
Just sitting on the fence.

The trees just swaying slightly,
From the winds drawing bye right now.
Yet the sun shines so brightly,
We need sun glasses for our eyes.

The grey and white clouds mingle,
Overshadowing the bright sun.
The spurt of brightness tries to shine through,
As the grey clouds become one.

Today is such a funny day,
All seasons wrapped into one.
The snow will be falling soon,
So the kids can start having fun

As the moonlight flickers

As the moonlight flickers
Through the early morning cloudy sky.
The movement of the sea water,
As the ships go floating by.

The orange glow of street lamps,
Shine brightly around the bay.
Waiting for sensors to show,
Night has now become day..

Autumn trees are standing tall,
Like bodies without skin.
The skeletal like branches,
Waiting for re-growth to begin.

The coldness of the autumn,
With the added breeze.
Giving people a little warning,
Of the coming winter freeze.

We bow our heads and Thank you Dave

Today we show our respect,
For a very special colleague.
The lord has made his choice,
And asked our Dave to leave.

Dave was always very pleasant,
With that funny smile.
He always tried to help you out,
Sometimes going that extra mile.

Your handsignals were well known,
To decipher sometimes hard.
But we will miss your humour,
Around the Canton Yard.

Today brings back fond memories,
Making this sad time very hard.
We had many times working together,
Whilst he was still a BR Guard.

There will be many drivers now,
Who will miss your request of " A Cup of Tea " .
We bow our heads and Thank you Dave,
So God Bless you , Matey !!

In respect of our Colleague , friend and mate Dave Armstrong.


Words of Comfort


Yesterday you felt the pain,
Today you feel the sorrow.
But with words of comfort,
We will help you through tomorrow.


The unexpected passing,
Of the one you love.
Will only be helped with cwtches,
All the way from up above.


The thought of never seeing me,
May make you weep and cry.
But with your loving voice calling,
You will feel me close by.


Although some memories will fade away,
Our true love will never.
So wear my ring close to your heart,
And I will be with you forever.

Mothering Sunday

Today we show our mothers
The love which they should receive.
But some have left this earthly life,
Although they didn't want to leave.

For some today will be upsetting,
For some it will be really hard.
Because they cannot give a present,
A kiss or even a card.

So today we all join together,
To all Heavenly mothers we pray.
Because they are always in our memories,
Especially on this Mothering Sunday.

We all have friends and colleagues

We all have friends and colleagues
Who have sadly been taken away,
Take a moment to remember them,
And together we will pray.

Some suffer long term illness,
Without warning others depart,
But no matter how they leave us,
Their memories are close to our hearts.

We all have special memories,
Some from many years gone by,
Although you feel a sad loss now,
And have a tear in your eye.

We all have friends and colleagues,
We need to remember our special way,
With the hope to reunite again,
When we also leave one day.

As I walk

As I walk along the shoreline,
Of an ocean so immense,
In a world of outstanding beauty,
Far beyond the world of sense.

A world so full of love,
So pure and so white,
Timeless in every way,
No longer day or night.

A world of many masters,
With knowledge far beyond that shown,
To people on this earthly plane,
So spiritually and unknown.

Raindrops

Raindrops are much like tears,
When they fall upon the ground,
Sometimes so many fall,
With very little sound.

Raindrops refresh the plant life,
Like tears refresh the soul,
Sometimes you need that release,
To help you to your goal.

Raindrops can be relaxing,
When they are falling really slow,
But when they fall so heavy,
They make people feel so low.

Raindrops can make a rainbow,
With refractions from sunshine,
This vision is a happy one,
That makes people feel so fine.

Mists and floods.

The mists above the forests,
Trees along the vales,
With Murky, Misty mornings,
On a dreary day in Wales.

More water fills the reservoirs,
So we don't have a drought,
Unlike other parts of England,
Who have had to go with nowt.

The rain has fallen lots this month,
Torrential pour downs from above,
With many family homes ruined,
Caused by all the floods.

If I pass on

If I pass on before this day ends,
Take care of all those I love,
I will watch over them from heaven,
And shower them with pure love.

To comfort them with their loss,
I will send them down white feathers,
This will help them cope everyday,
Knowing I am with them for ever.

If I pass on before first light,
Give those I love a cwtch and kiss,
Because I cannot hold them now,
And they are the ones I'll miss.

If I pass upon this day,
Wipe those tears from your eyes,
Because I was put on this earth,
As an angel in disguise.

Spirit don't think I ignore you

Spirit don't think I ignore you,
Because that I certainly am not,
Some times I hear your voice calling,
But it may be really faint.

I know you want to use my mind,
With messages to help them smile,
From loved ones now in the spirit world,
For those who have to live that extra mile.

So spirit, if I don't answer you,
I may have an earthly chore,
Please come back later on,
So we can communicate some more.

I am happy to assist you,
To use my spiritual gift,
And help those who are feeling down,
With a message to uplift.

If you think you hear a whisper

If you think you hear a whisper,
Spoken words in a clear tone,
You may feel scared at first,
Until you understand you're not alone.

Everyone has the ability,
To pass on messages as they come,
From birth your mind is open,
To become a true medium.

You can ignore these senses being used,
As spirit see how you're reactions are,
You can then learn to control it,
And that's a real test by far.

There are many who will guide you,
And help you enjoy your faith,
As well as improving your mediumship,
By keeping you truly safe.

When I look down

When I look down upon your bed.
As you are fast asleep,
I enter in your minds thought,
Memories for you to keep.

When you sleep I visit you,
Put thoughts into your head,
Sometimes they feel so real,
You may forget that I am dead.

When you wake up in the morning,
You will feel that special glow,
You remember things so perfect,
Like a repeat going slow.

Please don't despair my darling,
I am always at your side,
Like I promised many years ago,
The day that you became my bride.

Farewell and Godbless to Winnie Johnson.

We say so long to Mrs Johnson,
Now released from this land,
From a tormented of suffering,
Taken now into gods hands.

Whilst you leave this world heartbroken,
From your cancer riddled shell,
With knowledge that when Ian Brady leaves,
He will forever rot in hell.

For many years you requested,
The location of your son Keith,
Only to be tormented by evil Brady,
Full of heartbreak and grief.

Farewell and god bless to Winnie Johnson,
For you no longer need to live in pain,
Now both in the world of spirit,
You can hug your Keith again.

Extra mile

Who knows what lies before us,
Or what the future brings,
Many decisions will be needed,
Through autumn and winter into spring.

The future will differ greatly,
By whatever choices you make,
But you can change this anytime,
Go in any direction you wish to take.

Some times you have to live a day or two,
With things which are not planned,
Unfortunately this is life my friend,
And out of your hands.

Stay pleasant and positive,
Be cheerful and smile,
Live life ahead with happiness,
And it will go that extra mile

Springtime Changes

The crisp cold winter's morning
Is coming to an end.
The happy sounds of spring time,
Is just around the bend.

The sounds of new hatched birds,
Chirping for their feed.
Their mothers working constantly,
To get the nutrients they all need.

The sight of new born lambs,
Upon the fields above.
Being cared for every minute,
With that special motherly love.

The trees now start to flourish,
New budding leaves and flowers.
Taking in the moisture from the ground,
Left by the winter showers.

Just like a Welsh Rugby team,
Daffodils stand tall with pride.
The hibernating creatures,
No longer need to hide.

Entwined with your emotions

Entwined with your emotions,
Your stomach twists within.
No longer wanting to accept loss,
For the sadness to begin.

Torn to pieces by memories,
Of good times gone by.
It's hard to accept the void they made,
Although you really try.

The love between two people,
A partner, man or wife.
Stays deep within your soul,
In death as it did in life.

Entangled with the bitterness felt,
For the loved one who had to leave.
That bond of love will last an eternity,
So take the time to grieve.

Nine years ago you left our sides

Nine years ago you left our sides,
To an illness they couldn't cure.
You promised you would always be close,
And that we know for sure.

For every day since you have left,
I've had a tear in my eye.
But many times in these few years,
I've really needed to cry.

They say you don't realise what you have,
Until it's taken away from you.
The loss of such a loveable dad,
We all know this is true.

Upon the day you left our sides,
April the thirteenth will be always sad.
You may be gone from this life,
But we will always love you dad.

Springtime weather

The sight of white crispy frost,
Upon the springtime ground.
The sound of new born birds singing,
And calling all around.

The autumn colours on the trees,
Going from browns again.
After all their roots are fed,
From the showers of rain.

People becoming unwell,
Starting to cough and sneeze.
The feeling of the bitter cold,
As the early mornings freeze.

The springtime weather is so uncertain,
With sun, then snow and rain.
We wait to see what the summer brings,
Hoping for the sun again.

I thought I heard an angel

I thought I heard an angel,
Calling out my name.
The voice sounded familiar,
I am sure it's the same.

I thought I smelt an angel,
Who just smells so divine.
With skin so soft and pure,
I sense it next to mine.

I thought I saw an angel,
So beautiful it's true.
But when I opened up my eyes,
I smiled, because it's you.

Today the hurt is major

Today you all feel so upset,
As though your heart has been ripped out.
The feeling of such a loss,
really makes you want to shout.

A loving caring parent,
Whom you all cherish.
There is no doubt this person,
Is one you will all miss .

Today the hurt is major,
A void so hard to fill again.
But your love is so great,
This will help to ease the pain.

We know you're full of heartache,
And the loss will take some time.
Be grateful for all the help from family,
And one day your smile will shine.

Patience is a virtue

Patience is a virtue,
Stay focused and be strong,
This will help your future,
By keeping you really strong.

When you are feeling nervous,
Listen to your inner self,
If you have that gut feeling,
Leave it sitting on the shelf.

Don't hesitate to ask advice,
There is always someone there,
Remember you have personal choice,
And a voice that you can share.

In life you will have cross roads,
Some clearly you need to utilise,
For those choices that are mistakes,
It is time to compromise.

A railway man came traveling
-
A railway man came traveling,
From Merthyr by Car,
He said I work in Rhymney now,
Because it's not too far.
-
I say I work on the railway,
On the trains as a guard,
The work is very pleasant,
But it isn't very hard.
-
They ask us many questions,
Some of which we know,
But if they are very difficult,
We'd walk away in Status Quo.
-
It's sad they take the best ones first,
A true gent in every sense,
A true railway man all his life,
A friendship so immense.
-
We ask you lord to keep him safe,
Because you gave him the green light to leave,
We have so many memoriess here,
But look after our Steve.

This poem is dedicated to Steve Davies
ATW Rhymney Railway Depot Guard
Who sadly passed away 11 May 2012.
God bless and farewell Tom.

Some people ask why take the best,
And make so many cry.
It's all because god needs great men,
To run that railway in the sky.

Another legendary railwayman,
Has suddenly had to leave.
No consolation to his family today,
Or friends and railway colleagues.

Some like to lead from the front,
Like the old days we expected.
But not so many are appreciated,
Or even this well respected.

This week we've lost another railwayman,
Who's memories will live on.
For the final time my green flag waves,
God bless and farewell Tom .

You will always be my sunshine

You will always be my sunshine,
Even when there is no sun,
I loved you with all my heart,
Since your life began.

I will always have the memories,
From the years of you growing up,
The first time seeing you walk,
And drinking from a normal cup.

We can both cherish these moments,
Although I may now be gone,
For life never lives on to eternity,
But loving memories live on.

Christmas sadness.

Christmas time should be festive lord
But now it will be sad
Because this year you have taken
Another much loved Dad.

Although we have good memories
From Christmas times gone bye
This year will be a hard time
And we may just need to cry.

A Dad is very prominent
And a person we will all miss
The handshakes for the boys
And from the girls a cwtch and kiss.

So lord send us a message
To help us through this years Christmas Day
For some of the Dads we'll love forever
You have taken away.

After their loved ones this year leaving.

 

As Christmas times come near
The loss and hurt will grow
Because a part of your family has gone
For reasons you don't know.

You asked the lord so many times
Why he took your loved one away
And this year will be so hard
Especially on Christmas day.

You say this should not happen
Someone so loved, taken without choice
But the lord didn't seem to listen
When you asked with a screaming voice.

For Christmas is a family time
And hard for those who now are grieving
So say a prayer for those without their answers
After their loved ones this year leaving.

Heartstrings.

 

My heartstrings belong to someone
Who I have been with most of my life
My sole mate and the one I love
Who happens to be my wife.

My Soul belongs to the Spirit world
I have it just to borrow
I will add my life experiences
Until I return it one day tomorrow.

My hands to cwtch the ones I love
Who I think of every day
I will also place them together
And say a little prayer.

My feet belong to me
But leased out to my soul
To get around on this earthly plane
So I can gain my life's goals.

My heart belongs to my family
And those through life whose paths I've crossed
A little piece to all those I have loved
Until my last breath is lost.

Before the next New Years Day.

As this year comes closer,
To it's bitter end,
We think of those missing,
Loved ones, family and friends

We take a thought now,
Of the year gone by,
For those who have left us sad,
With teary eyes.

As this year end quickly looms,
We think of those lost loves,
Closest to our hearts and thoughts,
Who are now in heaven up above.

To think of all we lost this year,
Together we will all sit down and pray,
For all our friends and family above,
Before the next New Years Day

This years floods.

Many people have been hurt this year,
Due to homes built on flood plains,
The engineers tried to change its route,
But the water will not drain.

Throughout the spring and summer months,
The streams and river levels are so low,
But the heavier winter rainfall this year,
Make them into torrential water flows.

The raindrops fall so heavy,
Bouncing inches off the ground,
Soaking everything in its path,
Nothing is safe and sound.

The rain this year is much heavier,
Making river banks overflow,
This causes total devastation,
Where ever it will go.

To all our Family , friends and colleagues
who have sadly passed to the Heavens above.

May the light of God guide your soul in the right direction
