My Little Miracle

Fruit of my womb that's what you are
My own true shining star.
I am your heart and you are mine
Our lives are forever entwined.
I knew I wanted you right from the start
When I almost lost you
A terrible fear gripped my heart.

I admire your humility though you're smart,
That endearing quality that sets you apart.
Your peers describe you as an ancient soul,
Who seems to have existed in days of old.
Sometimes your uniqueness may seem odd
but you and I are like two peas in a pod.

I whispered to the universe your lovely name
My prayer was answered for into my life you came.
Despite all the odds you permeated my soul,
You certainly are my pot of gold.
We are kindred spirits I know that's true,
That's why my darling I'll forever love you.

A Dedication of Love

How can I say I love you
And let you know that my love is true?
It's not that I am too proud
but I can't seem to say it out loud.
You are the centre of my universe,
You know that I 'll always put you first.

I wanted to write you a love letter
so that you would feel so much better.
But the words wouldn't come my way,
I just didn't know what to say.
Everytime I express how I feel,
It just dosen't seem real.

I want to be your future not your past
So I have to ensure that our relationship lasts.
You are my oyster and I'm your pearl
You are the only one who rocks my world.
I hope by this poem you will see,
That my dearest you're the only one for me!,

All About Me

All my dreams are coming true.
Life is so wonderful and brand new.
The windows of opportunity are opened wide.
He makes me so happy when I'm by his side.
Endless love that's all he knows.
And in my heart I know he'll propose.

My Valentine's Day Baby

Gabrielle my gift from above,
The Lord showered me with his precious love.
The day of your birth was a remarkable event,
I know that you were heaven sent.

Your rosy cheeks were a sight to see
No one could be happier than me.
The sight of your face just melted your heart ,
I knew from that moment we would never be apart.

My valentine's day baby a dream come true,
I got exactly what I desired and that was you!
Now that you've grown up and gone far away,
At night as I kneel down to pray,
I ask the Lord to keep you safe
in every way.

MARGUERITE

You were like a delicate flower so fragile and pure
But you would never bloom again as you did before.
Maggie my dearest friend, we’d known each other
since the age of ten.
No longer will I see that beautiful serene face
And in my heart there’s an empty space.

We both married and went our separate ways
Now I sit back and reflect on those days.
Whenever we met we had so much to say,
That it always took an entire day.

We were like sisters you and I ,
I never thought that you would suddenly die.
I know that Mother Mary is standing with arms opened wide,
As she gently ushers you inside.

My devoted friend hear my urgent plea,
That when my time comes
Please make a place in heaven for me.

MY DREAM

My dream is of a better world
where rivers run free.
Where our waters are unpolluted
by debris thrown in by humanity.
Where crime is not known and weapons rare,
my dream is of a world that overflows with care.

My dream is that we love each other
not by the colour of our skin,
but by the goodness that lies within.
Why is there envy?
Why is there hate?
Why should you be executed
just standing by your gate?

Why must there be famine?
Why must there be war?
We have repeatedly as asked
these questions before.

Parents lead and children follow,
That’s not always the case as we already know.
My prayer is that one day all this will cease
Then we can envision worldwide peace.
