The treadmill of Life

Ever feel like your life is standing still

Always busy but your life you can’t fulfil

Constantly running but never finish the race

Wanting to stop this over hyped pace

 

Trying to change the direction you’re taking

Just wanting to create a new awakening

Hard to see the world with blinkered eyes

Carry on treading and hope the time flies

 

Work, eat and sleep is all we really do

A better way of living is definitely due

Tired of the same old structured routine

Needing to find a different social scene

 

All is not lost as we struggle to change

At first your life seems particularly strange

Diversity is the key to changing it all

Get of the treadmill and don’t be afraid to fall

My Secret Crush

I’ve kept my distance admiring you from a far

To me you will always be the brightest star

In a world so dark you lift the gloom

Shining so bright in the darkest room

 

Girls want to be you for you personality and look

The day we met I was like a fish to your hook

I’ve tried so many times to find the courage to ask you out

Planning it in my mind the answer is never in doubt

 

We’ve flirted together, laughed and teased

My beating heart you certainly pleased

You’ll never know my feelings inside

This secret crush I will always hide

Give Me A Reason

You tell me no without looking at my face

Telling me you just need some time and space

Something is wrong but you won’t begin to share

Just look at the walls with a silent cold felt stare

 

I wander is it over but you won’t tell me why

I search for the truth not another pitiful lie

Your heart is cold as you stare right through me

Our love is worth fighting for but only I can see

 

If it’s something I’ve done let me put it right

The fire burns low but hopefully still in sight

Our relationship always solid only recently cracked

I came home one day and now your bag is packed

 

Give me a reason and I’ll sadly let you go

Although not happy at least then I’ll know

You can’t explain how we have come to this

As you walk away your love I’ll always miss

Summer of Dreams

It began with a perfect wedding day

In a place called Anglesey

Two special people together forever

Will hopefully one day be three?

 

A drive home with a friend

Through the dark roads at night

One more quiet lonely sleep

For my transatlantic flight

 

The heat outside the airport

Nearly melted me away

I waited for my lift to arrive

He’s gone to the wrong airport bay

 

A week coaching the punxy teams

A new formation they won’t forget

They need to work hard and believe

And more wins I’m sure they’ll get

 

A weekend free and off to the park

A music concert about the blues

One man drank too much beer

And couldn’t find the loos

 

Back at Saegertown and a familiar field

All lined and ready to coach

A different formation for the girls

But perfectly they always approach

 

A farewell to my extended family

I’ll see you all again next year

My words begin to break up

As a shed a heartbreaking tear

 

Heading to a warmer climate

Orlando is where I travel

Disney, Sea World and Universal

Let the fun times begin to unravel

 

An unbelievable 10 days with family

Living it large in the Florida sun

Rides, roller coasters and Mickey Mouse

All part of the summer of fun

 

Now that I’m back home

All the memories locked away

Some things that I’ve had to leave out

But that’s for another day

 

So people remember take a break

And let you fun light beam

Hope your wishes come true

Make it a reality and not a dream

Waves of Emotion

As I sit here alone on the white sandy beach

My emotions up and down, out of my reach

The sound of the waves crashing through my mind

Searching for an answer unable to find

 

The cloudless sky hovering above my head

Thinking of the things I should have said

One minute I laugh then suddenly cry

Staring out to the sea and asking why oh why

 

Hating the world where we currently reside

The hurt from others I can no longer hide

Wishing I could end it with a magic potion

My feelings inside like a wave of emotion

If I Had One Wish

I wouldn’t wish for a lottery win

And vast amounts of money

I wouldn’t wish to tour the world

Or live somewhere sunny

 

I wouldn’t wish for expensive clothes

To place upon my back

I wouldn’t wish for the finest drinks

To look good in my wine rack

 

I wouldn't wish to build my dream home
And live my life as a King
I wouldn't wish to make a record
So people could hear me singI wouldn’t wish to build my dream home

And live my life as a king

I wouldn’t wish to make a record

So people could hear me sing

 

If I had one wish

Do you know what I would do?

I’d wish to spend the day and night

Lying next to you

 

 

Friendship

A friendship isn’t about seeing each other every single day

It isn’t about what you do but more about what you say

You can’t put a price on someone who is always there

Distance not an issue just to know that they care

 

Months may go by and you haven’t had a chat

Nothing in particular just a bit of this and that

It never seems strange when they meet after a while

Nothing beats a hug and the perfect happy smile

 

Laughing about things that you have done together in the past

Who’d have thought this friendship would eternally last

Friendship has not barriers and it doesn’t matter what age

Sometimes you just click knowing you’re on the same page

 

Friends across the world who may not have seen each other for years

They finally getting together knowing leaving there will be tears

A phone call away and a true friend will never hide

Standing there as one, together, side by side

Fear of Commitment

The feelings we have towards each other will never ever change

When we are not together my life feels particularly strange

The emptiness inside hiding behind the false smile

My heart says yes while my head is in denial

 

Why can’t I give you exactly what you crave?

Always the coward when wanting to be brave

My passion, love and care for you has never been in doubt

Toying with my head and heart like another boxing bout

 

People always ask me why I won’t fully commit

I don’t know the answer I simple have to admit

Something tells me it’s not the right time or place

It breaks my heart to see that tear roll down your face

 

I hate to say the obvious but it’s not you it’s clearly me

But as the old saying goes, what will be will be

Please be patient as I battle my commitment issue

And finally wipe away that tear with my commitment tissue
