Something For Mum - April 2012

Something For Mum - April 2012

As you move through the ages,
your life transitions through phases.
The first blossom of a rose.
A time when you could touch your toes.

Even with struggles, questioning what it all meant.
Life always gives off a beautiful scent.
So use every moment and follow your nose.
Enjoying the journey, wherever it goes.

Something For Brother - 30th Birthday

Something For Brother - 30th Birthday

Happy Birthday Brother, so glad we are related!

Now that you're 30, you might begin to feel sophisticated,
or maybe it's more like confused, really discombobulated.

The many memories of the girls that you've dated,
or maybe the dolls that have been inflated.

The bottles of Jack and how you feel elated.
Your favourite drink, its influence, cannot be debated.

Straining to remember, some things need to be translated.
It's thirty years and 9 months after the day you were created!

Challenge words provided by Brownie :- sophisticated, discombobulated, straining

Valentines Day - February 2012

Valentines Day - February 2012

Valentines day is not my cup of tea but it does make me think about my wife, my love and what you mean to me.

Our lives are so busy and time it is just flying. Spending much time on housework and doing the ironing.

Let's pause for a minute, or even a sec and think of the fun, the good times and how we first met.

Living Healthy - January 2012

Living Healthy

Some people parrot on about living a healthy life but you are about action and not words.

Soaring and cycling, truly living, living healthy.

Then comes the unexpected, a clipped wing, a blown tyre.

Not a wake up call, not a warning. Just another opportunity to look it in the face and laugh like a galah.

Get back on the bike, unruffle your feathers and soar like an eagle once again.

Birthday - January 2012

Birthday - January 2012

A birthday is the perfect time,
to call in the crew and pull in the line.
Maybe set a new course, a new place to go
Seek new adventures or go with the flow.

Forget all the pressure and all the detail
Birthdays are perfect, to plan the days that you sail

Birthday February 2012 - 35 Years Young

Birthday February 2012 - 35 Years Young

It's amazing that a simple butterfly

Can remind you how the time goes by

Humble beginnings, it emerged one day

From a sleepy cocoon, on a day like today

Now it floats through air and beats it's wings

Enjoying it's life and the swirls that it brings

You are very similar in quite a few ways

The woman you were, the woman you became

Same humble beginnings, i'm sure you would say

Now enjoying your life, in new and fresh ways

My glorious wife, enjoy as you may

Spread your wings, on your special day

Birthday - 15th September

Birthday - 15th September


A pretty little vase, so full of flowers
Look up at the stars, can pass many hours
The stars all aligned, in this special way,
when you were born, a Virgo on this day
