Fragile as a Butterfly

As fragile as a butterfly
That's the beat of my heart.
It's been that way,
Since the day we had to part.
 

As fragile as a butterfly,
My confidence took a nose dive.
It took some time to retain it,
And today I feel so alive.
I don't take life or people for granted,
But treat them with respect.
For they too are as fragile as a butterfly
That's what I've come to expect.

People who try to make decisions for me,
Are way out of their league.
"I am what I am"
That's what I believe.

To those who do not know me,
I'm honest and wouldn't hurt a fly.
And to myself I'm true.
Positive yes! but fragile as a butterfly.

Recipe for Hapiness

Find the recipe for happiness,
Then you my friend have struck gold.
Laughter is contagious better to catch that
Than a nasty cold.

Kindness is another ingredient,
That happiness depends.
As you go about your day.
A helping hand please lend.

Generousity is also there
Not of wealth but time.
Don't go about with closed eyes
Like someone who is blind.

We all have our crosses to bear
Some are leaders. others not.
So let's count our blessings
For the things in life we've got.

I Cannot Make...

I cannot make you want me,
That will never do.
Your love has to come from your heart
Like my love for you.

I used to wipe the tears from your eyes
And ease away your pain.
When you tripped over life's problems
Time and time again.

You above all people should know
How fragile life can be.
Why can't you give me a ring
And say "Hello it's only me"

My calls have gone unanswered,
This I make quite clear.
If there are any problems,
I'd be right here for you dear.

As I look out to sea,
Out onto the horizon.
My only wish at the present time
Is the return of my "Lost " son.

Reflections on The A to Z Challange

This being the second A to Z I've participiated,
It was certainly all I hoped it would be.
I've made some fantastic new friends
Thanks to the A to Z.

Along with friends from last year,
My followers are now many more.
My one wish is we stay acquainted
After all that's what's blogging is for.

I wish I could have visited more blogs
For the entries exceeded all expectations.
In all honesty I did by best,
But there were so many from all different nations.

I have learned quite alot about so many things
As each blog is unique in its own way.
It was certainly a pleasure to communicate
Each and every day.

My thanks go to the team
Who organised the event.
For the month of April.
To me The A to Z challenge was... Heaven Sent.

On The Shelves

Today is a "RedLetter Day" for Alex J.Cavanaugh,
For his long awaited book "Cassa Star" will be on the shelves.
It promises to be an excellent book,
If you doubt me take a look for yourselves.

Tenacity and hard work has played a part,
Months of planning it's took.
Faith in ones self and dedication
Must be some of the ingredients of writing a book.

This wonderful creation of Alex's,
I'm sure it will be a success.
I wish him all the luck in the world,
I couldn't wish him anything less.

To you Alex have a wonderful day,
May "Cassa Star" fly high.
When I have my copy I'll let you know,
I hope it's easy to buy.

The Royal Wedding

While the A to Z Challenge was coming to an end.
A Royal wedding took place at Westminster Abbey.
Between Pince William and Catherine Middleton,
It was a spectacular sight too see.

On the arm of her father Catherine
Arrived all serene.
If she was nervous it didn't show,
Again a joyous scene.

The service was "A simple Affair"
As Royal weddings go.
A few hymns were sung,
As the TV camera's did show.

The ceremony over they went to Buckingham Palace,
In an open carriage through the streets of London.
The waiting crowds at vantage points
Cheered and Cheered "Diana's" eldest son.

It was a lovely occasion, the weather lovely too.
Crowds waited for a scene they did not want to miss
It was on the Balcony of Buckingham Palace
The Prince and his new Princess stole a loving kiss.
