REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
-
CHRISTMAS IS A TIME OF CHEER
IT ONLY COMES AROUND ONCE A YEAR
LET US CELEBRATE BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER
THAT JESUS WAS BORN ON THE 25TH DAY OF DECEMBER
-
HIS WORD AND MEMORY SHOULD ALWAYS REMAIN TRUE
AS FAITH IS THE REASON FOR CHRISTMAS TO ALL TOO FEW
GREED AND SELF INDULGENCE HAVE TAKEN OVER THIS TIME
SO TO NEGLECT THE REAL REASON FOR IT IS SUCH A CRIME
-
LET US WORSHIP AND SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH ONE ANOTHER
CREATING A BOND THAT MAKES OUR FAMILY STRONGER
DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE MATERIALISM OF THE DAY
BUT STAND UP FOR JESUS AND HAVE YOUR SAY
-
WARM WISHES TO YOU ALL ON A HAPPY AND PLEASANT SEASON
ENJOY THE FESTIVITIES,WELL YOU DON'T NEED A REASON
LET GOD'S LOVE SHINE ON THE WORLD COMMUNITY
MAKING US FEEL HUMBLE AGAIN NOT DEVOID OF REALITY.
-
Reality Television
-
When I turn on the tv it is all I see
The rubbish we watch for our license fee
Why do we pay it?,when all we get
Is reality tv which after a day we will forget
-
The stars of the future are born today
But will have long since gone once we are old and grey
Music talent shows are a thorn in my side
The presenters of these programmes I cannot abide
-
Big brother,pop idol go take a hike
And pedal on to another channel,yes get on your bike
The quality is being eroded and it's all too clear
That the tv companies will soon have us crying in our beer
-
The girls on tv grow up so fast
But their desire for fame will not last
For talentless people cannot exist
If the companies and their sponsors begin to resist
-
Renovations Hell
-
In only a few short weeks our home has changed
From an out of date place to be newly rearranged
Bob and his mob have made the place look like new
With people coming and going,there have been quite a few
-
The dust and the noise has been an unpleasant distraction
Coating my eyes and ears with the filthy infection
I was always on edge awaiting their knock
Banging on the door,always gives me a shock
-
New personnel did I greet each and every day
With a few passing smiles and words to say
It seemed an eternity during their occupation
As my sanctuary was lost which caused me irritation
-
There were some who came poorly prepared
Asking me for things that were needed to be shared
Have you got a bin bag,dust pan and brush?
So I can clean up this mess,but there's no rush
-
Rosie & Cindy R.I.P.
-
From my childhood memories there are these thoughts
Of our family's little Westies and the joy they brought
So cute and friendly they gave us so much pleasure
And will constantly remain a family treasure
-
Walking by our side as we ventured out
Never snarling or biting as we began to shout
With wonderful features their faces were so divine
And their loving nature was never to decline
-
Their fur so soft as my fingers brushed through
When arriving home from work they always knew
That our presence was soon and we were met with a greeting
I held them close to me to hear their heart beating
-
The west highland white terrier is a brave little mite
One which will adore it's owners with such delight
Kissing one's face with it's cute pink tongue
As it chases it's tail playfully whilst we listen to a song
-
So rest in peace my two little friends
As my affection for you will never really end
I'll see you once again when I'm in the spirit world
When we are reunited and my dreams become fulfilled
