For You!

As I have travelled my journey I have been very fortunate to meet some great friends.  In 1994 I found myself living back in London following the break up of my marriage.

It was at this time that I met a lovely guy who was then and still does remain very close to my heart.  I was sad and at a low point, not really knowing whether I had made the right decision to move back to the big city and away from my family and close school friends.

However at this time this friend walked into my life, he was a huge support and we developed a close bond, today we don't keep in touch as much as I would like but life moves on I guess. As a result for the purpose of this blog I have dedicated this poem simply

'For You'

       For the man who held my hand
      so tight
and got me through
so many nights
For the man who never asked
me why?
when saddnes came
and I would cry
For the man who dried the
tears away
and by my side
would always stay
For the man I owe
my life line too

       Yes my friend
           The man is YOU!

If YOU, my friend,  read this you will recongnise yourself - Thank You for being there.....

I'll be There!

It is a hard choice as I look through the poetry of yester year which one to post on each blog. Having gone through depression and many broken hearts there is a part of me that only wants to share the happy days I now live on a daily basis.

I once read that the best poetry is written when one is depressed, while I am not sure this is true in my case I certainly wrote more poetry when I was sad than I do now.  Today I write uplifting newsletters, you can sign up for these on my website.. www.awakenlifecoaching.co.uk, happy, positive words to inspire and help others.  I have been told though, on many occasions by the readers of 'Made it Thru the Rain', that it is the dark days of the first three chapters that have helped them not feel so alone so I guess whether it be the sad times or the happy I am sharing with you, someone, somewhere will relate to the words I have written.

The poem below was written when I lived in Ireland, I was single with a desire to be otherwise.... I remember writing this piece with a knowing in my heart that one day I would indeed be with that special someone.... Let me know what you think...

I'll be There

 

Every day that passes

brings me a step closer to you

Soon we will be together

my love

 

Together we will share our dreams

Our life

 

We will build our future

where rainbows start

our days

and stars light

our nights

 

 

Our love will flow deep

like an ocean that

knows no end

 

The light will burn eternal

on our love

where raindrops will only fall

in order to cool our thirst

for each other

 

Soon you will hold me

within your arms and your heart

 

 

                                                                                Keep alert

                                                                              for I will appear

                                                                                one day

                                                                                 Close by!
