This Hand

This Hand

It feels so small and fragile
the fingers lithe and long.
Translucent skin like gossamer,
a hand once warm and strong.
A palm now lined with living
and joints that ache and creak.
This hand was always giving
me strength when I was weak.
It lies within my own now,
I cradle it with care,
this hand that used to guide me
here, there and everywhere.

Dedicated to my lovely mum

Hi Shaun, I wrote this just a short time before Mum died so it has a deep emotional meaning for me and if others reading it  feel any benefit from it then that makes me really happy.   Stay well my friend

Wasted Love

Wasted Love

Don’t tell me that love’s never wasted,
there’s always a little remains,
that love never dies...

Live it Well

An image staring back at me
a face I don’t yet know,
The mirror says ‘I never lie
