Protecting
A bush has thorns
to protect its fruit
like a mother
protects her young.
In life, we go on
protecting the ones
we love the most.

Limitations
We all have limitations;
sometimes it is nice to know
exactly what they are.
Just to know how far to push ourselves,
without failing in what we want.

The Way We Think
We often class ourselves
by the failures that we have made,
where we should look at
how we have succeeded
in the things we have achieved.

Journey’s End
With every journey that we take,
we have to take the smooth
with the bends.
If we don’t
we may never reach
it to our journey’s end.

Colours For Summer
Nurturing life’s sunshine
sprinkling of rain
spring breathes life
into greenery abound
new generations birth
colours for summer.

At The End Of Another Day
The clouds were in line,
like stepping-stones from the horizon,
painted pink and grey
from the setting sun
at the end of another day.

Irresistible Force and Immovable Object
Love is the irresistible force,
and humans the immoveable object.
When they both meet,
that’s when the sparks
really begin to fly.

Little Man (Fun Poem 8)
There is a little man who stands on a shelf
He stares all day at a creeping vine
One day he will come alive
Climb down the vine
And runaway
With the sunshine

Through the centuries

have attained the praise

Little Treasures 2
Sometimes we sow little treasures
but they fall on stony ground
and there they fail to grow.
While others are sown with impunity
and grow and grow and grow.
