| My Poetry: Would you hold me? Would you hold me in your arms Just so that I can see How strong and how protective Your embrace, for me, could be? Will you hold me soft and tender And rock me gently too I need to feel you near me Just between me and you. Would you hold me in your arms When I softly ask you please And just a little tighter I promise not to tease To feel your arms around me To be part of a team With loving tender moments I can but only dream. *~*~* Have Courage In troubled times The heart sinks low But just hold on There's so far to go Around the corner Though trouble is there Do not falter Have courage and dare Dare to do What others fear Protect the one's Who shed a tear Fight for the right To live in Peace Fight day and night And hold Victory in sight. *~*~* CAMPFIRE NIGHTS A campfire blazing brightly With a slow and lingering glow The sparks flame up quite quickly Then die in a second or so. Shadows flicker as the flames play A wild dog sounds his howl I?ll be gone tomorrow with no delay Just another figure on the prowl. Another day, another dawning Yet another campfire burning In the shadows of the night You?ll find me in the campfire light. Inch by inch the night crawls on The night animals are stirring Darkening shadows fall upon Tree?s, stumps and in the clearing. The stock horse standing to the side Neighs loud at the slightest sound Ever so faithful as we ride And always holds his ground. Another day, another dawning And yet another campfire burning In the shadows of the night You?ll find me in the campfire light. *~*~* GRANDMA JOHNSTON Bedridden and helpless- Yet strong and secure Always there for good advice Always had a cure All the stories that she told We always listened well She made life a pleasure Poems and stories she would tell Practical jokes and tricks She schemed for us to play On others so unwary Or just for her to say: "I wonder if the fairies Will take this cup away?" I'd take it to the kitchen And rush back to her to say: "The fairies took it Grandma," "They really did", I'd say And she'd silently laugh and smile and comment "Gee they were quick today" The visitors that came Because she couldn't go to them always someone with her For the love she shared with them Now she's gone - we miss her so Our love for her won't falter Our memories are sure and strong Through joy and tears and laughter. *~*~* The ANZAC's March to War They marched proudly into battle, Tall and straight, heads held high They went into a nightmare as volunteers, Came out heroes in a world of their own. No one to understand the dangers, The things they went through The comrades lost, the mateship gained All in a world of their own. And now, as they march tall Remembering the past, the battles Old mates since gone Living in a nightmare of the bombs, blasts and guns. The haunting memories of war The agony and pain, screams of the dying The laughs and companionship And the fate that brought them together. **(ANZAC's means Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) *~*~* |
| Forever A Dream If dreams could come true- If only they would I'd be set for life With the one I love And he really would Love me true For in my dream He loves me too As I love him With all my heart He'd release for me His passionate heart Forever together In each others arms Forever in love But alas - Forever a Dream! *~*~* Dear Ol' Dad I want me scones! Where's me scones? I hear it everyday. I want me scones, I want me scones My dear Ol' Dad will say I'll be in later I'll expect them then You'll have them there I hope I want me scones With tea and jam and I want them there today! Chocolate cake or lamintons There's no comparison I want me scones - But not truckie scones And I'll be happy for a day! (*truckie scones are weetbix with butter and jam) *~*~* Love If I told you I love you What would you say? If I said I'd do anything for you Would you do anything for me? My heart's on the line For I do love you so I only hope that the love you feel Is true for me too. *~*~* Phantom Lover Phantom lover in the night Phantom lover hold me tight For in the morning When I wake My heart for you will always ache Phantom lover, love me do My phantom lover, love me true My lover I will wait for thee Until the day you come for me. *~*~* Weaving your Spell You've been weaving a spell on me And now you've captured my heart I want to feel you close to me Now it's time to make a start. Your lips I want to feel on mine I need your sweet embrace Your touch sends shivers down my spine And my heart does race. The passion felt between us Is like magic in the air And sparks trailing from a shooting star Makes our love beyond compare. *~*~* Recycled Water Out at Mullaley, Right down the back The funniest site I did see A white box on a trailer Behind the old landrover I wondered what it could be? I was down in the garden With my Dad just to see How the radish patch was coming along When the hose - it was running And the tap not turned on! We were puzzled just how that could be? Then all of a sudden Was a rattle and shudder And poor Ol' Darlin' did shake T'was John's washing machine That was making the fuss And the mud that was left in it's wake! *~*~* Feelings It's strange you know The feelings that I feel One minute I'm happy The next I want to cry I'm not well I know that I have too many things wrong with this body To know what to do anymore The pain rips thru Making me hurt In my heart, in my soul And everywhere else too I don't know what to do. *~*~* The Lyre Bird Out in the open where the stars shine bright A campfire blazed throughout the night And as the camper stoked the fire He listened to the lonesome lyre It's call was a sorrowful, pitiful yearn And told of all it could not learn But soon the long and lasting night Was driven away by the coming light The fire was stoked and begun to burn As the camper longed for much to learn About that lonesome bird, the lyre All his efforts will never tire. |
