26 Family Love | Wordsinpictures

I wrote this for a really lovely Austalian family who welcomed me into their home. By doing so they showed me what being a part of a loving family was like.

With their encouragement I decided to collate some of my poems and my first booklet was published. The words of Pahnia their oldest daughter stays with me to this day. "My children and my grandchildren will know you through your words Beverley".

FAMILY LOVE

I heard there's a thing called family love

A wondrous gift from heaven above

But not every one has known this joy

When distrust and bitterness destroys

And spoils the innocence of untouched youth

With fear hate and lies that distort the truth

So it's with great pleasure I see you there

United and strong through the love you share

I've watched you and now it is clear to me

Love can be found within a family.

Ageism

AGEISM TODAY

Move over all of you older folk

I'm afraid you have had your day

Now's the time to clear the decks and

allow the younger fitter folk to play

Yes you may well have kept hotels and bars

solvent throughout your younger years

However those days are over for you

now that's a fact of life I fear

Although it may be hard to face the

truth but it must be said

No hotel or entertainment venue

wants guests who go early to bed

All in all it really would be best these

days for you to holiday at home

Even if that does mean that you might

have to spend them on your own.
