Blooming Dancing

Blooming Dancing Lessons

One two Cha Cha Cha this is what to do

Don't worry you'll soon pick it up in a week or two

Three four Cha Cha Cha now you do a twirl

Chaisse, step and round you go- my head is in a whirl.

One two Cha Cha Cha keep your head up tall

Shoulders straight and don't look down, mind that you don't fall

Three four Cha Cha Cha lock step then a spin

Right foot forward now rock back, point your right foot in.

One Two Cha Cha Cha New Yorker then a turn

Ballroom dancing may be fun but it's hard to learn

Three four Cha Cha Cha, arms out a little bit
I think that I'm beginning to get the hang of it.

  

One  two Cha Cha Cha now thats the way to go

Ouch! my dancing partner has just trod on my toe.

Three four Cha Cha Cha backwards, forwards sway

I wish I could remember to go the proper way.

One two Cha Cha Cha my feet are getting sore

And I'll be jolly glad when I can get off this dance floor.

Three four Cha Cha Cha my legs have turned to wood

And I thought this Blooming Ballroom dancing was supposed to do me good!

Walk

Walk a While With Me

Walk a while with me through the maze of life

When the wild winds blow and the storm is rife.

When the paths unclear and the journeys long

Walk a while with me as I go along.

Walk a while with me when I'm feeling low

When my spirits weak and my footsteps slow.

When I'm not too sure where the road will end

Walk a while with me when I need a friend.

Walk a while with me when the sky is blue

When the rain is gone and the sun shines through

When my heart is light and the day is long

Walk a while with me you have made me strong.

Life's Surprises

Life's Surprises  

Are there thing like God's Angels or are we in danger

Of trusting what's really not there

Do we make our own future or does destiny lead us 

To happiness joy or despair.

It's a strange road to travel, this journey called life

Though its something we all have to share

Through black holes and tumult when we think we can't make it

To ecstacy, passion and care

So cling onto your hopes, there no time to mope

Or prepare for whats going to be

Life's a box of surprises full of different disguises

So cross your fingers and just wait and see.

Gods Country

Gods Own Country

Much has been written about Gods own Country

About lakes and rivers and seas

Much has been said about beautiful flowers

And plants and bushes and trees

Enough has been spoken of verdent green pastures

And rolling hills and dales

Mountains so high they are touching the sky

And oceans with fishes and Whales

What about things that nobody thinks of

Tiny insects and spiders and slugs

Nothing is written of greenfly or beetles

Of woodlice or little black bugs

We don't hear a thing about earwigs and fleas

Or midges and buzzing black and gold bees

But without flies and snails and things on the list

And all other creepy crawlies I've missed

God's Glorious Country would never exist.

Blooming Puzzles

Blooming Puzzles

I love doing crossword puzzles

And do one every day

I sit down with my paper 

To pass some time away.

One across and then three down

I have to stop and think

I haven't  time for washing up

So I leave it in the sink.

Until my crosswords finished

Nothing else gets done

So I have another cup of coffee

And perhaps a currant bun.

What was the clue for nine across

Nothing seems to fit

I'll have to get my dictionary

Whle I try to think of it.

Does anyone know this fifteen down

I really want to shout

If you do then hurry up 

And call the answer out.

I love my crossword puzzles

And I know they should be fun

But it really drives my crazy

Until I've got it done.

Cryptic clues or anagrams

If the answer is not right

This Blooming crossword puzzle

Could keep me up all night.

Colourful Earth

 

Imagine a world without any flowers

No trees, no leaves no April showers

To make things grow the way they should

No roses, tulips or bluebell woods.

Imagine a world without any colour

Void of all brightness, darker and duller

No pretty pinks, no green or blue

No buttercup yellow with golden hue.

Imagine a world all black and grey

With all the colours stripped away

Dark and dreary full of gloom

Where nothing good or bright could bloom

No joy, no hope, no glimmering light

To excite,enjoy, enthral, delight.

Now Imagine the world as one floral display

Where every flower would have it's say

Snowdrops so delicate and sunflowers tall

They are ours to enjoy so let's care for them all

Each one is special in it's beauty and worth

So lets start protecting this colourful earth.

Which Way

Which Way

What the Hell is life about

When we try to work it out

Are we weak or are we strong

Where is the will to carry on.

Does love really conquer all

Does pride come before a fall.

Is there always hope and love

Will we find our rest above.

Life's a journey so they say

Love will always find a way

A way to where I do not know

Or even if I wish to go.

Don't Forget There's Me

Don't Forget There's Me

Trapped in a web of circumstance

Encompassed by other's needs

Unable to choose the way forward

Unable to do as I please

Do people see me as a person

Or just the label I wear

A carer, a mother, a daughter a wife

There are so many roles to declare

My own needs are pushed further backward

As others become more increased

I'm happy to care but you people out there

Don't forget there is me underneath.

Friendships

Friendship

Friendships are like trees

They can grow strong, yet be as frail as fallen leaves

New branches shoot out from nowhere

As old twigs fall and tumble to the ground.

Ever changing yet remaining firm

Through wind, snow, rain and sunshine

Sherltering us from turbulence and harm.

Friendships sway gently in the breeze of life.

Where would we be without friends!



Blooming Flowers

Blooming Flowers

I planted seeds in my greenhouse there

And tended them with loving care

With hope and pride I watched them grow

Protecting them from frost and snow

I fed and watered and watched them sprout
Until the first green leave popped out
The flowers bloomed and began to grow
So I planted a border in a long straight row

Then one day what did I see

There were big holes in every leaf

No flowers were there, the stalks were all bare

With some fat slimey slugs underneath!

Blooming Blogs

Blooming Blog

I'll make us a blog - he said

It's easy to use  - he said

Just click on the site

Type your name in just right

And off you go - he said

I clicked on the site - like he said

Typed my name in just right -like he said

Then confusion set in
Couldn't write any thing
I'll keep practicing - like he said.

My blog is now my delight
I have so many pages to write
Putting a photograph in
Was a difficult thing
But one day I may get it right!
