Jumping, jumping ,over the style
Wasting time just for a while
Dark clouds forming filled with rain
Will my rainbow return again
I miss those days of childhood charms
Held by my parents in loving arms
My adult days approach too fast
As plaits and uniforms, I cast.
Into this world of wonderment
I step with awe and calm content
Will I survive and make my mark
Is life just a stroll in the park
I'll do my best through thick and thin
To reach the goalpost that say's win.

Sitting on the gate with Rose
waiting for the boys
Where are those lads with scruffy clothes
still playing with their toys.
Here comes Jimmy swaggering
catapult in hand
He's wondering what Bill and George
have deviously planned.
Jumping down we greet our pal
as other boys join in
Hopping with excitement now
making such a din.
Down the lane we tumble
what mischief shall we plan
Scrumping in the orchard
on Farmer Giles land.
A butterfly with outstretched wings
warms up in the morning sun
Wonder where he goes at night
when the day is done.
Let's make a camp in yonder wood
play hide and seek and track
I'd love to be alone in there
with Jimmy's brother Jack.
How time has flown since first we met
down by the garden gate
My own young one's now take my place
as down the path they wait.

About this poem:
How easily we forget those days when we are now surrounded by so much technology our kids think a phone is fun.

Welcome truth into my life
don't let me down and cause me strife
I give my heart with honesty
expecting your sincerity.
We speak of love unseen but heard
can I believe your every word?
My trust has failed me in the past
when hoping this is love at last.
But wait the sands begin to shift
and yet again I'm cast adrift
The truth it seems was just a lie
and once again the love will die.
When will we learn the difference
and try to make our lives' make sense
Is it too much to ask for truth
another Lothario forsooth.

About this poem:
People need to be totally honest and not hide behind a screen.Have a pal that has been devastated too many times by scammers and such.

When life comes along and ties you in knots
Don't even think of joining the dots
The gaps in our lives are there for a reason
As we pass along from season to season
Our hearts are quite fragile or so it would seem
So easy to fall for that wonderful dream
But take a deep breathe before you move on
Is the path steady that you walk upon.
So go with the flow and swim with the tide
You've nothing to fear and nothing to hide
Take what life offers if you feel it is wise
It may even offer a special surprise.
