WHISPERING SOFTLY

WHISPERING SOFTLY

When the world is full of noises

Choices rejoices and voices

Thundering, thumping, drumming and pounding

Around in our minds

Confusions

So mixed-up

Never understanding

Comprehending

The voices

Shouting and screaming

To stop and halt

Quieting the voices

Silence rejoices

The mind so clear

Resting reposing

Stillness within

The sweet whispering voices

Beckoning

Let it all go with the breezes

All will be at ease

BEST FRIENDS (my very first poem that I wrote)

BEST FRIENDS

Come and go,

But the best ones stay

See us through the woe

The tears

The laughter

And the pain

Someone to share

Someone who cares

Who just won’t let you go

A shoulder to lean on

A shoulder to cry on

An arm to hold onto

A reassuring arm around you

That says ‘it’s going to be ok’

A best friend to share all the secrets

Dreams and aspirations

Love and the after

Sharing the laughter

Of some silly situations

Best friends stay through

The seasons of the years

Through the fears

When we thought it was the end

But a best friend

Is there ‘till the end

DEAR DADDY

DEAR DADDY

You have always been the best from the rest

I loved you more than you could ever know

I know you are sad, mad

That I left you way below

I hear you crying

I see your tears

I see you sitting there lonely and forlorn

Sad, unhappy,

Where is your happy smiley face?

Daddy I miss you too

I cried the tears too

I visit you too

But you do not see me

Hear me

This makes me sad and tearful

Please be happy soon

I have new friends here too

I am safe and sound

We play around

I light a candle just for you

Your little princess all for you

So that you find away from the darkness and the gloom

In that empty, empty room

Dear daddy I will always love you from my heart

And I know you will too

I won’t forget you and neither will you forget me

But please daddy I want you to go on

Live your life once again, why did you stop?

Come on daddy with all your hearts please stop!

I want to see you happy, smiling, and laughing too

I’m watching over you

DEAR MUMMY

DEAR MUMMY

You have always been the best a mummy could have

I loved you from the moment that I was born

I know you are feeling sad, angry because I left you

You never did anything wrong, it wasn’t your fault

I hear you crying sometimes loud and then softly

I see your tears mummy and I want to wipe them away but I cannot

I am here in heaven with all the other children

I see you sat alone and looking so forlorn

Mummy, please don’t be sad?

I remember you happy face, the giggling and silly things we did together

Mummy I miss you too

I come to see you too

But you do not see me or hear me

This makes me sad and tearful too

Please be happy soon

I have new friends here too, we play, we sing, we dance

I walk in this beautiful garden full of flowers it tickles my toes

I wear this princess dress, all satin and lace

It’s very pretty mummy and makes me feel like a princess

But I know that I will always be a princess in your heart forever

Dear mummy I will always love you from my heart

And I know that you will too

I won’t forget you and I know you will never forget too

But please mummy I want you to go on

Live again, laugh again, and sing like you used to

I miss that so much please sing again and know that I will be listening

And not far away

I want to see you happy and that will make me happy too

Love you mummy from my heart
