lThe children
He was just a little boy
who should be playing and full of joy
but he wants to be alone
he wants to play on his own
He was being abused and used
being made to suffer
at the hands of his father
that boy will need a lot of love
to get over the cruelty he suffered
She was just a little girl
who should be playing with her dolls
but no, her uncle made her do things
that little girls should not do
it was their secret uncle said
how these children suffer
at the hands of bad people
but it happens the world over
children are...

ORPHANS
An angel came into my life that day
you were the angel who would say
I will always be here for you
and all the other children too.
We were all adopted by you
I was just one of quite a few
you did everything to make us happy
you were strict but fair
we were educated and then at age
settled in a career with a good wage
You would go anywhere in the world
to see any of us get married
you were a good father to us all
we will never forget you
or all the things you did for us too
god has taken you away now
but we will never forget...

THE BODY
I looked out the window
there she was stood on my drive
she was small and slim to a point
but she had a big backside
stood there on my drive.
I went out to take a closer look
should I take her out
or go back in read my book
would I handle her well
and look after her
she was not too bad
except for that big backside
it made her look sad
I took her for a drive
not as good as my car
so I wont drive her far
my car is in for repair
and they lent me this one
there she was stood on my drive
she was small and slim to a point
but she had a big backside
stood there on my drive.

christmas
To everyone on poetry
I wish all a merry Christmas
and a happy new year
don't drive after drinking beer
spare a thought to the lonely
and the elderly
think of the troops
away from the family
enjoy yourselves but think
about others
merry Christmas

THE NURSES
They are dedicated to the work
not one wants to shirk
I looked around ,they were all busy
not one needed to be told
making beds, looking after patients like gold
ward sister was on the go
making sure nothing stopped the flow.
suddenly an emergency
screens placed around the bed
nothing could be done
the poor man was dead
the nurses cleaned up and after a while
still managed to smile.
the dedication of these nurses
who carry on regardless
what teamwork they have got
dedication they have the lot

THATS LIFE
Some people are rich, some are poor
not everyone has got a front door
some sleep rough in shop doorways
or on the footpath, same place always
they don't have to do that
there are places they can go
we can all choose
that is life.
Some are drug addicts
others may be alcoholics
some well educated,
others not be
most will have seen life
and life is an education
some will seek help not all
we all make mistakes
some more than others
even on d.u. poetry
we make mistakes
that is life
we have to get on with it

love
Are you lonesome tonight
do you miss me tonight
lots of people are lonely
some need some tender love
others need care and a little shove
they could be soldiers families
children missing daddy
spare a thought for people on their own
show some love and visit someone
help anyone you can if they are lonely
show we care and love still exists
show love
do you miss me tonight
lots of people are lonely

others need care and a little shove
they could be soldiers families
children missing daddy
spare a thought for people on their own
show some love and visit someone
help anyone you can if they are lonely
show we care and love still exists
show love

THE LAST POST
They laid the poppy wreaths
and the bugles played the last post
old and young with memories in the heart
each remembering the wars and lost friends
it has been many years shedding our tears
The parade marching past for the salute
the memories for family and friends
will these wars ever end
still it goes on
troops are still killed or injured
will we learn the lesson
and stop the wars
I fear they will never end

DREAMER
I went away for a few days
its a nice hotel that I use always
they gave me a nice room
big double bed and large bath
I decided to have a bath
soap suds all over me and soap in my eyes
then I got a nice surprise.
I felt this hand in the water
I opened my eyes and saw the maid
slim and so beautiful
I will find the soap for you she said
one hand looking for soap
the other stroking my head
her hands were everywhere
she took off all her clothes
and got into the bath
we were both looking for the soap now
soon we were kissing and...

TRUE LOVE
They were to young it was said
it would never last
they were too young to wed
she is still in her teens
but the wedding went ahead.
A baby girl was born
a few years later a baby boy
they were happy and in love.
They had problems but coped
tackled each problem with hope .
The daughter now had children
the parents happy with grandchildren
then tragedy struck them hard
the son was killed in a accident
they struggled again with life
it seemed harder for the wife
two years after she died with cancer
she left a love letter for...

WORDS FROM MY HEART
The words are here in my heart
but for some reason I cant start
try as I might I cant say or write
my heart may have locked in the words
and they may never be heard
are they words of love for friends
or words of love for family.
even my enemy would like those words
then want to be my friend
if only my heart would unlock
and release those words
words I would love to say but cant
if only you could
but for some reason I cant start
try as I might I cant say or write
my heart may have locked in the words
and they may never be heard
are they words of love for friends
or words of love for family.
even my enemy would like those words
then want to be my friend
if only my heart would unlock
and release those words
words I would love to say but cant
if only you could

FAR AWAY
I know that I am far away
I think of you night and day
it is hard out here in Afganistan
you far away in England
I will get home when I can
thinking of your smile and lovely eyes
begin to think and realize
it is hard for you as well
soon we will be together again
then be rid of far and away pain
happy days to come my love
home sooner than you think
al my love always

then be rid of far and away pain
happy days to come my love
home sooner than you think
