Running Out Of Time 

Tick, tock, tick, tock, 
Time is running out 
Its a race against the clock 
Tick...Tock
Tick, tock, tick, tock, 

Blood is been filtered, 

Dialysis still leaves me feeling crock, 

Tick...... tock 

Tick, tock, tick, tock,

Lungs scream for air, 

Scarred, ruined, unable to repair. 

Tick......... tock 

Tick,  tock, tick tock,
Heart is slowly beating, 
Until its final stop, 
Tick.............. ........Tock 
Tick ,tock ,tick, tock,
People can be saved ,
The situation is grave, 
Tick... tock 

Tick ,tock, tick, tock
Time is running out, 
Its a race against the clock, 
Tick, tock ,tick,tock 

Tick, tock, tick, tock ,
Tick ,tock
Tick,
Tock,
   STOP !

A Chance At Life 

I sat with tubes of red coming in and out of veins 

A ritual to endure, if in life I was to remain,

A life of weakness and lethargy,

Conversing with others almost like a zombie.

Thanking god for advances in technology 

He lay only alive because of machines, 

Bloods and tissues positively  matched and screened.

One family mourns, cries and grieves,

One family smiles relieved at the reprieve. 

Thanking god for advances in technology

The donor may be gone from earthly plains 

Thou he and his brave family have allowed me to remain

For both families he is in our hearts 

He has let my life happily restart

Thank god for his  ideology 

Thank You !

Mirror Mirror In The Hall

Mirror Mirror In The Hall

Salvador Dali  

That mirror in every ones hall,

Has seen life, seen it all,

Everybody who's passed its way,

Their reflection caught and absorbed away,

Faces contorted with pained fear,

As life changing events charge ever near,

Tears checked within it's light,

Smudges cleared until faces look just right,

Rampant curls teased to behave,

Beards diminished while men shave,

Every occasion and every day

The mirror has witnessed mixed bouquets,

Of tears, joys, the men, the boys

Kids, wives, mothers, lovers

All.the families significant others,

So every mirror could tell a tale

Release families secrets, remove the veil,

So mirror, mirror in the hall, 

Stay inanimate never reveal all !

Family Chains

Family Chains
( For my sons 21st birthday ) 

To the children we love so much,

Small yet hardy,that's what they say

But as your mum and dad we see you in different ways

Your flawless skin, your sparkling eyes,

The way you drive us mad, always asking why?

One simple step that every child takes,

When you do the same our hearts could break.

From toddler to child you move away

Each independant trait, but we want you to stay

Our child yet our babe forever, we need

To feel somewhere inside you, we are your seed

So never forget that feeling inside,

That you'll always belong and never be freed,

For a chain has been created and will never be broken

To our children we write these words

Thou these thoughts are never spoken!
