It Snowed ... again!

2010-01-06T20:38:00.005Z

Yes! Its snowing in Britain again,
Transport problems .... again,
Schools closing .... again

Yep! I've mentioned this before
And snow has halted us once more!

Unintentional Hiatus

2009-03-09T12:14:00.004Z

I skipped out for a bit
No, I didn't take a trip
Was at my desk all this time
Working within a tight deadline ...

I'm back!

Miss Bev

My sister's mom passed away
She will be laid to rest today

While we’re sad, mourning the loss
There are lessons left for us;

Today lays another opportunity
To make wrongs right, live in unity

To tell someone how much you care
To take the time, to love and share

You know we are not here forever,
Take today's chance to love together.

~We love you lots, Marie.~

Body Complaint

2009-02-10T12:24:00.009Z

Can’t eat breakfast, running late
Grabbed a chocolate, ran to the gate

Then my body complained,
There, you did it again!

Did what again, I asked in disgust
You are always making such a fuss!

You don't love me the way you should,
And haven't I always been very good?

I thought about the question long and hard
Then said, Ok lets hear the whole nine yards!

I wish you loved me like your car;
Poor feet carry you near and far

Yet you never take the time
To give them a rub or a shine

The car gets a check up and M.O.T
Teeth says the dentist, she never see

The other guys hips, ankles and knees
Are asking you to lose some weight please

There is a consensus, about brand name clothes
Unnecessary! but more space is needed in shoes for toes

I hope this won't cause your spirit to grieve
Hair says vitamins may be better than a weave

This one may cause you to yell, or even panic
But stomach was wondering if we could go organic?

Tongue said taste buds, can do without sweets
Colon wants to cut down on processed and red meats

Skin has threatened she'll start peeling
If you don't give her regular creaming

Eyes was saying to go easy on the make-up
And thinks its time for them to get a check up

Brain is bored, and needs challenging
Why not take her to college for training

Its not that I'm ungrateful
Head to toe, we've been faithful

Remember, I'm not available from the shop
Treat me with love, I'm all you've got!

Well, I said, you've got a lot on your mind
From now it'll be TLC and much more of my time.

Stay Strong

2009-02-04T22:19:00.010Z

Today she tested my faith
I decided not to become irate

Careful words and calm spirit

I responded without my foot in it

Earlier tonight,

Went to MC's site

And to my delight

He hit the same thing

I was there feeling

No way will they desist

But I shall always resist;

Whatever is going on

Keep focus, stay strong.

Snowday in Great Britain

2009-02-02T23:27:00.005Z

South West London, Feb 2, 2009

Great Britain are we
With our royal family

Great Britain are we
Invade 'any' country

Great Britain are we
Proud of most of our history

Great Britain are we
Tackled global poverty

Great Britain are we
Bail banks to stabilise economy

Great Britain are we
Vast multicultural society

Then, Snow flakes dropped
And Great Britain stopped!

Happy New(ish) Year

2009-01-05T00:44:00.006Z

This year thousand and nine
I think its about time ...

Dreams became reality
So grasp every opportunity
And let everthing be a possibility
To make last year's dream a reality!

*HAPPY NEW YEAR *
*To everyone in Blogsphere!*

HO, HO, HO!

Yes friends, it’s that time again
People in the street like rain
Merchants work tirelessly
Cashing in on the shopping frenzy

Won't say too much about Christmas
But frankly I think it’s ridiculous
How people just jump on the bandwagons
Of almost any or most traditions

Most know Christ wasn't born round this time
Yes, I agree, and that's all fine
But Christians say it’s His birth they celebrating
You could say that's a topic for debating.

This is largest money making scheme
In all the world, that I've ever seen,
But if you want to give your hard earned money
To unconcerned billionares, good luck honey!

Why the big green tree in the house?
The advent calendar? Who's Santa Claus?
What with this epiphany
On the sixth of January?

Do you really know what you are doing?
Insisting that Santa did the gift shopping?
Families can meet more than once/twice a year
Use time and money on those you hold dear

If you want to appease your conscience
By giving up logic and common sense
Whatever you choose to do
It is definitely up to you

But just leave Christ out of this
'Cause you know He's not involved in it
Call it what it is, by its rightful name
A pagan holiday, and quit playin this game.

Emotion Man

2008-12-18T23:09:00.009Z

This morning as I did the school run
With my favourite small person having fun

T'was on the bus I saw an exception to the love-rule
A man gazing, as if at a pearl in the depths of a pool

He was so in love, this was plain to see
Am I too romantic, was it only just me?

Then I noticed a man in his wheelchair
Give them the once over, then began to stare

No lewd behaviour, they stood holding hands
Quietly talking, perhaps about upcoming plans

A handsome fellow, he was indeed
His eyes truly echoed his human need

The innate need to feel love
Instilled by our Creator above,

Unconcerned he was, about the macho thing
He didn't pretend this girl was a casual fling

Now its usual to see some girls mouth gaping
Over the egotistical male she started dating

Hence this was such a remarkable sight
A man showing his emotions outright

Even today, in some societies this is forbidden

'Weak' men are emotional, so it must be hidden.

Thought for Today

Aftermath of hurricane Ivan - Jamaica 2004

Be happy with what you have today,
What if tomorrow, it were taken away?

Sky Water

2008-12-14T13:57:00.009Z

London 1930

Yesterday water came from the sky
My favourite small person asked, Why

Do people moan and sigh
About the water out of the sky?

I said, "Because they don't understand
The great blessings of God's hand

Without water we would certainly die
And God doesn't want that for you and I"

Smile today
As happiness heads your way

Smile that beautiful smile today
Smile as peace and love comes to stay!

My Friend Dean

2008-12-08T21:10:00.011Z

Happy Birthday to my long lost friend
Glad the years of searching came to an end

From high school you were there for me
Being all that a friend could ever be

I'll never forget how you made a difference
Made me feel special, gave me confidence

Once again, I know where you stay
Finally, you are only a phone call away

I am so pleased, its almost unreal
Can barely contain the joy I feel

The prospect of seeing you again
Ten years of catching up to do, then!

TO A GIRL WHO KNOWS WHAT FRIENDSHIP MEAN
WISHING YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND DEAN!

Finally

2008-06-08T01:03:00.001+01:00

So I came back finally
After logging on initially,

I hope you will stay with me

As I share my thoughts ... poetically!

Honesty

2008-05-15T13:10:00.023+01:00

I just had to tell y'all

That honesty exists after all

I lost my purse, money and things

My IDs, cards and all my bling

That was well over a month ago

Even cussed how people thief, you know

To my shock and disbelief

It was never even a thief

Just my stupid carelessness

But rewarded for my unfounded distress

A truly Good Samaritan

Sent it by post back in my hand.

THANK YOU!!

God Bless you!

Here I Come, Again

2008-02-18T12:12:00.005Z

Yes, I have lived in blog land before

Have I been a name on your bloglist door?

Here I am, I'm back to being me

Let me remind you of who I used to be

An original 'third world' country girl

Checkin out life in the 'first' world

Days of warm golden sunshine

Chocolate and men... so, so fine

Food organically grown

With rain, sun and cow dung

Fresh meat was guaranteed

You passed it feedin out in the field

Due to the heat of the sun

The pace was slow to get work done

No one wants to overheat

So just leave, and hit the street

You can just imagine the beaches

Such beauty only God teaches

Seven miles of white sand in Negril

Places like this, perfect your chillin skills

Welcome to a new way of life

Not sayin nothin to build no strife

Jus lookin and adjusting

Not necessarily accepting

I was never one for a quick fix

So struggle and learn, them we mix

Nothing unique, nothing one can't do

Determination is what'll put you thru

I am who I am, and am truly chilling

My God and I, life is now interesting.
