Blooming Spring

Blooming Spring

Spring has arrived, the best time of the year

New lambs have been born and the bluebells appear

There are buds on the trees as new leaves start to grow

Daffodils are in blossom and the sun is aglow.

Boots are back in the wardrobe and sandals are out

Winter woolies are gone and bright dresses about.

Folks are out in their gardens weeding and sowing

It's exciting to see the new plants starting growing.

Then what do we see the very next day

There is frost on the ground and snow on the way.

Little lambs in the field are all huddled together

Will we ever get used to this blooming daft weather!

Blooming Birthdays

Blooming Birthdays

My blooming birthday is here again, without a by your leave

But I don't feel any older and still do as I please.

Round and round they come again and I don't think that it's fun

That every year I have to add another digit on.

How can I stop this getting old I really wish I knew

Down at the pub I'll sort it out with a glass of special brew.

Another birthday, I don't care because inside my head

I'm still young and free and twenty three and don't care what is said

So blooming birthdays can come and go cause I know what I'll do

I will keep on counting backwards until I'm twenty two!

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.
