Fighter!

Fighter!

I’ve been torn asunder,
My heart was ripped in too.
The pain that grew within me,
Was stronger than any knew.

But like a LEGO house,
You built my bricks back up,
All those horrid memory’s,
They really really suck.

But then I see it,
The hand that reaches down.
I reach up and grab it,
More hands pull me from the hound.

When I pass the surface,
A sight of such reward.
For their are my friends and family,
My shield, my axe and sword.

Beat but once!

Once beaten but never again!

I was beaten driven insane,
The life I lived wrapped in pain.
Then you came through the dark,
Like the song of a guiding lark.

You showed me courage, strength and might,
You were a star shining through the night.
Family and never friend,
You’re in my heart until the end.

Never shall I trip or fall,
Never shall I face downfall.
The love you have built a tower,
Now my will, will never cower.

When you need me, call my name,
I’ll help you face the final endgame.
Count on me in times of strife,
That’s the cost of friends for life.

Antibodies

A creature from another land,
Taking money from your hand.
Living in homes built for you,
Hatred grew and grew and grew.

It crept in and changed you life,
Took money, food and caused you strife.
It made you ill and many cried,
It’s now set your life aside.

But antibodies you all had,
Your treatment had made us sad.
But we are mighty, strong and true.
We are the army to see you through.

We live in homes of worn brick,
We work in in places, that make us sick.
But for you we wage a war,
Many of us have seen before.

The only difference; now you say
To all of us hip hip hurray.
“We who you say took you jobs,
Fight for you at so much cost.”

We were the antibodies hidden from sight,
We were the ones to end the night.
After we have won the fight,
We were the antibodies hidden in plain sight.

Drivers

Just for the Ambulance crew!

My heroes on wheels!

Who gets you to hospital,
When you make the 999 call.
The heroes all dressed in green,
In PPE that seems obscene.

That issue can not be fixed,
When adding pandemic to the mix.
But still they fight their way through,
Selflessness in the dictionary shows you.

To those who move you on the way,
I shout, stamp and clap hurray.
We need more people with your skill,
Compassionate to all who are ill.

Your sirens comfort, your on your way,
How many people saved day to day!
Though you do your very best,
At times people face a final rest.

But in those moments at the end,
A better compass I can’t comprehend.
So thank you for the work you do,
You’re my heroes through and through.

A poem of love for you and all you colleagues x x x

Legendary Tom

Ther Legend of Tom

There was a hero long ago,
His name was Captain Moore
He travelled to another land,
Where he fought a terrible war.

He didn’t let it stop there
What a hero he became!
As he grew to raise money
fundraising his was he’s game.

Charity begins at home they say,
In some ways this is true.
The challenge made by family,
Has made it to global news.

He was there in Burma,
Philanthropic in his core,
He’s kindness and good deeds,
Shining through once more.

So remember his kind words,
That’s travelled all time zones.
In this time of great despair,
“You’ll never walk alone.”

River Analogy!

Life is like a river,
It flows to the sea,
It twists on its journey,
Yet it flows very free.

It meanders as it travels,
It weaves across the land.
It weathers cliffs and rocks,
Creating beaches of sand.

Water flows so quickly,
Its waves are often  rough.
Islands form in chaos,
Waters are enough.

True friend

Friends

True friends can sit in silence,
They listen and offer advice.
Though you may disagree,
Their words are to improve your life.

Some friends talk the talk,
Yet you rarely see them.
What you don’t understand,
Anxiety has beat em.

The world is not black and white,
Thoughts don’t slot neatly into place.
Fear and anxiety reach out,
Your friends held in their embrace.

Don’t question if they’re there for you,
Question if they are ok.
A good friends doesn’t need to prove it,
A good friend will find a way.

We have problems in our life’s,
Some don’t mean to offend.
I see many messages asking us to prove,
We are loyal and true friends.

Call me and I’ll answer,
Cry and I will comfort.
Laugh and I will join,
Love is given not bought.

I’m your friend forever,
At times I’ll scream and shout.
But when you really need be,
I’ll always be about.
