Dark Night

Batman, my son

Don’t fight the dark night

Go to sleep now

Everything is alright

There will always be jokers

And riddles to solve

Don’t lose your sleep

In the morning resolve

Some lovers are poison

Like ivy on the wall

Freezing your heart

Some two-faced and tall

Yet others will purr

Like a catwoman sings

Some cute as the penguins

On a warm day in spring

Dress yourself fine

Unlike a scarecrow

Remove the mad hatter

It’s not your bane you know

“It’s not who you are underneath

It’s what you do that defines you”

You know the truth

And the truth is you.

An Ode to Rob

I'm Geooooorgie, I am a Cat

I'm brown and like to chat

I'm loud and love a pat

I'm George and I'm all dat

I'm so graceful and refined

My purr is loud and quite divine

I swing and swagger my big behind

I'm not too fussy where I dine

The poor little chippies

And poor little mice

An unfortunate rendezvous

Has cost them their life

Their feet and tails left on his mat

Where I have made a messy splat

I'm Geooooorgie, I am a Cat

I'm George and I'm all dat

C'mon....

I'm George and I'll sing my song

Mice and chippies don't belong

C'mon, c'mon, sing along

C'mon, I'm George and I'm singing a song

For you....Rob.

Meow!!!  Happy Father's Day!

I love you Rob xoxo

Fear not my child

Everything will be alright

I’ll wipe your tears

While I hold you tight

Weep not my child

Fear blurs your sight

I’ll wipe your tears

And you’ll see what’s right

Turn your face dear child

From the clouds and rain

I’ll wipe your tears

Take away your pain

The end is near

Tomorrow vs today

I’ll wipe your tears

And show you the way

Embrace the greatness

You’re meant to be

I’ll hold your hand

Just wait and see

Fear not my child

As you build your new life

I’ll hold your hand

Everything will be alright

Dance with Me?

Dance with Me?

You want to be my partner?

I can see – the music has started

You are calling

And I am smiling

I bet you dance with all the girls

No matter though, I’m still thrilled

Hold my hand, I'm with you now

Take the lead

Please show me how

Down the treasured garden path

Under the stars and moon

The music beats inside our chests

No matter what
When I'm with you I'm blessed

Garden Fairies





There are fairies in my garden

They’re really rather small

I hear them whisper secrets

At my waterfall

Sometimes I hear them giggling

Amongst the bushes rose

Around the dogwood thicket

Tickling tiny toes

Grumpy gnomes are snoring

Inside their mushroom homes

Blushing girls and handsome boys

In their fancy clothes

They peer into my gazing balls

Up close with one big eye

Toothy grins and double chins

It seems they’re not too shy

She waltz’s with orange flowers

He salsas with impatiens

They rumba with the sunflowers

Staked along the fence

A young boy flirts with Coral Bells

He kisses her petals tender

She embraces his attentions

Until his love surrenders

They’re friendly to all the insects

They lead the choir of birds

They especially like my spider

That helps me write my words

Their pretty wings are fluttering

In the light of the golden sun

They spread their magic fairy dust

With exuberance and fun

The fairies live in my garden

How do I know they do?

As long as love resides there

They’re in your garden too.

End of the Beginning

I keep hearing that this is

The Beginning of the End

 I’d like to challenge that.

WHAT IF

We are being prepared for

The End of the Beginning?

A cleansing of the Earth’s soul

Exploding it’s fury but forgiving

To give us yet another chance

To end famine, war, hate

Pollution, crime and other human nonsense

WHAT IF

Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires,

Erupting volcanoes and earthquakes

Were the only way that we could see

To notice with concern, pay attention

Learn to listen to Mother Earth

WHAT IF

This is the end of an era

The end of what we know today?

WHAT IF

We are evolving as humans

As we evolved from the Stone Age

Copper Age, Bronze and Iron

WHAT IF

We are progressing into a community

Of loving, peaceful, respectful people

Kind, sharing and caring

WHAT IF

We come together as people

Take care of each other

Enjoy each other’s presents

Appreciate all life

And all the things that make us great

WHAT IF….
The Earth is in labour

And it’s meant to be a bit painful

But all will be okay

Because what we get in the end

Is wonderful.
