Poem: It's Christmas Day

It's Christmas Day
So many people to see, so many things to say
The tree is decorated
Certain members of the family are tolerated

The turkey is cooking
The children are looking
To see if Santa has been
The veg is pealed all fresh and green
Presents in the stocking
Fairy lights are sparkling
Carols being sung
The mistletoe is hung
Crackers on the table
Children happy and playful
Christmas pudding and mince pies
Men wearing novelty ties

It's Christmas Day
All that's left to say
Is I hope you have a day full of love and forgiveness
Merry Christmas

Poem: A Father’s Promise

Babies crying all around
Off to sleep they go
No one daring to make a sound
Nappies, clothes and toys
Gifts for all the new girls and boys
Helium balloons and teddy bears
Presents from a proud father to show he cares
About his child so small
Whispering in its ear
‘If only your grandparents where here
They’d shed a tear
But they’re looking down on you now
And trust me, I know they are so so proud
Not only today but of who you will be
Whether you’re like your mother or me
None of us can wait to see
You have my nose and eyes
And your mothers beautiful smile
But we have the greatest gift that we could ever receive
And I promise you, I’ll never leave.’

What do you think? I tried to get inside the mind of a new father, and being a woman this is a hard task – do you think I achieved it?

Poem: Christmas Morning

Santa's sleigh bell warning
It's Christmas morning
Children smiling from ear to ear
Parents crying happy tears
Turkey piping hot
Christmas pud hitting the spot
Unwrapping presents
Everyone loving the contents
Spending time together
Watching the snowy weather
This is the best time of the year
As all the family is here

Poem: What We Are

Teenagers, prejudice
Louts and layabouts
Hoodys, scum
Times have changed
Communities rearranged
Knives carried for pride
Cars taken for a joy ride
You only see the bad
All the things that make us mad
You want us to change
But we can’t
It’s how you make us today
We need opportunities
Some sense of responsibilities
We are the youth of today
But we can’t repay to the communities
You’ve taken everything away
Then leave us with the blame

Give us a break,
You get me?
 

What do you think?

Poem: Take Every Chance

No second chances
Refuse to give you any second glances
You walked out on us
And left me behind
Another door has closed in my face
But I just stand up once again
And face the world with a smile
Because I know I can do better
Than what you gave me
Find another who loves me for who I am

Every day is a fight
But for once I’ve seen the light
And I know that this life is my fight
To prove myself
To me and no one else
Push my mind, body and soul to its limits
So that I know I’ve done all I can

Don’t want to blink
In case I miss anything
Only got one chance at this life
No need to keep believing the lies
Just got to realise the love is in my eyes
For this world
Take every chance
Don’t let it slip passed
 

What do you think?
