Double Hurt

I didn’t want to do it

To follow you that way

But I had to know the reason

You broke our date today.

I saw you in the Café

I saw her by your side

You had your arm around her

I know now why you lied.

I saw the love between you

I saw the laughter there

Both of you looked happy

You made a lovely pair

My heart is aching badly

Our love is at an end

You couldn’t even tell me

You were dating my best friend.

Life at College

Nine thirty is what time we start

With Sam at the ready to do her part

CVs is what we are doing now

Oh my god but we don’t know how

Sell yourself is what Sam said

Your future employer don’t want no air head

Janet strolls in with her big heavy bag

Hold on girls I just need a fag

Dinner times over we sit in our seats

To do our touch-typing we read from the sheet

Advanced on the left and beginners on the right

Oh! Core blimey that must look a sight

We have Jane in the corner with her stiff neck

Who gets on and does it an says what the heck

With Donna beside her what can I say?

She’s happily sat there tapping away

We also have Michelle who cuts peoples' hair

She plays in a Rock band: let us know, we’ll be there

With Karen beside her all eager and bright

And constantly saying “Oh was she alright?”

Now there is Natalie who wants a new home

Good luck to you girlie! Now get off your phone!

Last but not least we’ve now got to me

Nutty and scatty and mad as can be

Embolden, Italics, Underscore and delete

We all have each other and new friends to meet.

My Brother Vince

It all began in ‘73

The 30th of January, as you can see

A Rovers supporter he became

That poor old Ref was always to blame.

He’s at the gym three times a week

To pump some iron, cause he isn’t petite

He also likes horses, when they win their race

You’ll know if he’d won just look at his face!

Now it’s your Birthday, Yes! It’s arrived

Let’s not go to Caddies it’s known as the dive

Hey! Remember you asked me for that sub?

Put your hands in your pockets, let’s go to the pub!

Now all joking aside, this is sad but true

My Brother Vince, this is all for you.

My Guardian Angel

I look at the stars as they shine so bright

Twinkling and sparkling, what a beautiful sight

As I go to bed and say my prayers

I’m asking god what my life bares

All frightened and scared I close my eyes

Take a deep breath and release a big sigh

During my sleep the nightmare appears

As I wake up screaming and shaking with fear

The Beast is here! The Beast is here!

Please help me god you said you’d be near

As I looked around I saw nobody there

I say to myself does anyone care!

I live in fear as each day goes by

Ducking and diving I’m not ready to die

Please help me god, just give me a sign!

I feel like I’m crazy or losing my mind

You gave me that sign and I’m glad to say

‘A Guardian Angel’ to guide me the way

I thank-you god for answering my prayer

As I know that my Angel is special and rare.

My Mate Hannah

Can you remember when we first spoke?

It was in a chat room exchanging jokes,

On me Buddy List you then went,

With me mail box bursting with what you had sent.

The start of our friendship, this is strange but true,

Was when I was sent a Questionnaire from you?

I did all me answers cut and pasted it too,

As you IM'ed me right out of the blue.

It's got to that stage; yes I'll give u a clue,

I can tell you anything, confide in you too,

You've been there for me, as I have been for you,

It's what we buddies are here to do.

We talked for hours of good times and bad,

I even know Hannah, when you’re feeling sad.

From that first day I would never have knew,

I'd have such a good friend as I have in you.

The Tears Were Mine

In infant school we shared a desk

I thought we got on fine

But, when he pulled my pigtails

All the tears were mine.

At twelve to different schools we went

I sent a Valentine

But, when we met he turned away

And all the tears were mine.

At seventeen and quite grown up

I still thought him divine

He asked my best friend for a date

And all the tears were mine.

A bridesmaid at their wedding

I smiled an gave no sign

Of how my heart was breaking

But all the tears were mine.

Godmother at the Christening

I proudly stand in line

And hope that all the photographs

Don’t show the tears are mine.

My Uncle Dan

If I had three wishes

And they all came true

My first wish would be

I’d play football with you.

Now on my second wish

I’ve thought hard and long

I’d wish for your strength

To be there when I’m gone.

I’m now on my third wish

This is dear to my heart

To have you as my Uncle

We’ll never be apart.

Teardrops

If teardrops were a stairway and memories were a lane

I'd walk the world to bring u back again

A beautiful memory woven in gold

This is the picture i tenderly hold

Deep in my heart your memories are kept

To love, to cherish and never forget

My thoughts go back as they often do

To bless the seconds i spent with you

Today, tomorrow my whole life through

I'll always love and remember you.
