Happy Birthday Karla ;0)

-

As parents we all can hope
That our children will succeed
Not with materials
Or paths of gold
Or perhaps to look after us when we are old

That is not what children are for
They are here
A gift from nature
Not from God
To live on the planet
Experiences gained
Life goes around

I see her smiling gleefully
Excitement beyond the pale
Chewing on a piece of toast as slever
Soaked her chest

I see her as she toddled
Finding the world
In a new school uniform
Cute and alert

I see her as she sings
A nightingale would be pleased
I see her as she listens
To Mr York and Co
The highs and the lows
Creeping and weird
Musically guided
Eclectic and intelligent

Beautiful too

We love her as much as we do the others
But as old as she gets
Our hearts fill with joy
Our eldest
Our daughter
Who knows not her worth
In time she will see
Why she came here to spend time with us 
Here on this earth

Happy birthday wee darlin
we wish you but happiness
The future is brighter
With you in the world

Although as your faither
I embarrass you still
A fat chubby Spiderman
Or dancing like a fool
Or singing out of tune
Know this

We love you
Most of all
We care what you do
Most of all Karla
We are glad you are you

Happy birthday Daughter
18 today
In my heart and my mind I smile
Because I know you

Love & peace X

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind blown pine trees sing in high pitched terror Birds dart Rabbits unseen? But for borrows Buzzards soar A red kite adorned a fence post Squirrels elusive Watching Just in case I might see one race by Even in the periphery of either eye A busy head is a safe head? Freedom from worries Eating and gnawing Snatching at anything that will offset these thoughts Let th

Physgill. Watch the swiftly feeding swallow Sun outside But not it in the hollows Of the shrubs and the greenery Fresh cut lawn Hydrangea, Rose Honeysuckle aroma The fields with the peas, A sea of swaying green Moves like an ocean The sound of the trees Moved and being shaken By the summertime breeze Cattle in the drive way Pheasants shouting loudly The deer are cautious Barn owls swoop in darkness Caught by car lights Badger scurried across the road Foxes rare The game keepers gun. A lamb down a tree trunk Discovered by Rosalind Pulled out by a farmer Care for injured falconry Rescued for love Of all that was around us The freedom The tranquility The sea and the solway Not too far away The Glen with her garlic Appetizing rambling Down to the shore Where pebbles and boulders You arrive at the bay. The cave has a host A man in a smock Ninian the monk Later canonised Who sat in meditation Considering faithfulness Sheltered from harm. C

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha
