POEM; SEWING LIFE STEPS

Lay the fabric of your life before you.

Honestly look at the pattern of your past.

Gather the threads of what's left of your life.

With your scissors, gently cut away that which is not needed.

Pin together your good merits.
Don't be too hard on yourself so remember to use a thimble.
Let no-one needle you to go fast.
Iron out those personal matters with your spiritual guidance.
Use no-one's ruler but your own.
Keep the finished product in your mind.
Sew these steps into your life daily.
Nothing is more wonderful than a healthier, happier or friendlier you.


TRIM NOTHING!



Poem "FORGIVE, FORGAVE, FORGIVEN"

I CHOSE HIM FOR MY HUSBAND

NOT AS MY FRIEND.

I'D PREFER HIM AS MY LOVER

NOT AS A CHILD OF GOD.

I APPOINTED HIM TO DO AS I WANTED

NOT AS AN INDIVIDUAL.

I SELECTED HIM AS MY KNIGHT IN

SHINING ARMOUR NOT AS AN ADDICT.

MY CHOSEN WAY WAS

NOT GOD'S WAY.

TODAY I KNOW HE WAS AN ALLY OF MINE,

WHEN I WAS NOT A SUPPORTER OF HIS.

HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CHILD OF GOD

EVEN WHEN I DID NOT TREAT HIM AS ONE.

HE IS A SOUL WITH CHARACTER

DEFECTS SUCH AS MYSELF.

AND HE CAN STILL BE MY KNIGHT IN SHINING

ARMOUR IF HE CHOOSES TO BE.

I LOVE YOU STILL.......

Poem "SINGLE MOTHERHOOD"

SINGLE MOTHERHOOD,

A JOURNEY INTO SURVIVAL.

PRAYING WHILE RAISING

A CHILD ON A PROMISE.

A FACE FROZEN

WITH SMILING FEAR.

ROCKING COURAGE TO

FORGIVE CONSEQUENCES.

A CHILD'S EYES CRADLES

HER FREEDOM.

SMALL HANDS CARESS

HER LIFE

HUNGRY FOR THE TEARS

WIPED AWAY.

THE DEBT OF INTIMACY,

PAID BY A BUTTERFLY KISS.

A MOTHER, YET

STILL GOD'S CHILD.

TAKING SMALL STEPS TO

 FILL ETERNITY SHOES.
