Wounded Heart

I didn’t want to see you

Your pain I didn’t feel
Your presence softly calling me
Help me please to heal

Reluctantly and gently
I turn to face your cries
My heart with full compassion
Tears of love now fill my eyes

My love I’m here at last for you
Forgive me I did not see
Now all the love from my deep heart
I gift to you from me

Exquisite tender soft caress
A lightness to the dark
The healing can begin at last
No more my wounded heart

As The Celtic Harp


As the celtic harp plays your favourite haunting air
My fingers softly caress your old and grey hair
Body frail and so tired you sleep
A deserved rest 82 years of love deep
Never were you more beautiful to me dear Mother

All the years pass before me
Quiet tears freely flow
I sit with you knowing
It’s not long til you go
Sweet aches of love are in my heart
For soon will come the time for us to part
And never were you more beautiful to me dear Mother

And when you leave to your heavenly place
And rest in Eternal Infinite Love’s embrace
I will play your song and somehow some way
Our souls will meet as they connect this day
And never will you be more beautiful to me my dear Mother

A Wedding Poem

Wedding Day Poem

The Wedding Day
The day of celebration’s here
Guests await, hearts full of cheer
To witness joining of two hearts
That choose ne’er more to be apart

Who knows just when that feeling came
When life would never be the same
‘My love, my heart, you are my life
‘Honour me, become my wife’

Now bride and groom in sparkling beauty
Honoured guests with special duties
Friends and family bright and gay
Gather on this happy day    Continue reading

Overflow

Fountain

No more long awaited coming
No more far away my love
No more days of tears and sadness
No more waiting for the one
How much time have we been patient
How many roads have we been along
How many tolls has life been taking
Well no more my heart is aching
Long ago that it was breaking

Chorus
Now my heart is light
It overflows
Just as the sun is bright
I know it shows
And if its day or night
Don’t care who knows
Now you are here beside me
Feel the power rise inside me
Repeat                                                Continue reading
