Change comes from within ………………. Origin unknown

Strange Territory I awoke this morning to find myself in strange territory The sun was shining and everything looked the same Something was wrong and locked in to my memory Painful reality coming back to me keeping me sane A result of my action my necessity my choice To set myself free and step out...

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today - Thomas Jefferson

Which is exactly what I have done............ this poem is from the 17 collection and is very fitting for me today............

HELP! My first born is finally leaving home…….

What we see depends mainly on what we look for - Sir John Lubbock

About this Blog

This is where I will be writing and posting my poetry - a lot of which was written between the years of 17 - 19 (I am now 50!!) I have only just found the urge to do something with these poems and have started adding slowly to my collection - I hope you like them (I'm still feeling my way here)
