Poems

As soon as I saw you My heart skipped a beat I didn't know what to do It was the hospital heat Daddy drove you home On that first night Mummy didn't want to be alone And the hospital was too bright The first night you did cry But settled well between each feed I left for home and said Bye Glam-ma's chance for a sneaky read I soon came back though For a couple of weeks I wanted time to go slow For all those extra peeks I need to go again soon Back to the sea Near to a sand dune Where one day you will visit me I will be back near Christmas To see you for a while And raise a glass To my new Grandsons first smile K.J.Oakes aka Kizzy York Nov 2nd,2016

Dedicated to Sue I saw you standing there When you felt all alone And there was no one to care Or no love to be shown I was with you then I am with you still You are good with a pen And I will show you my will You are very precious to me I have so much in store for you, Sue I have your heart and that is key Take my hand, I will show you what to do Fear not, my child I will lead you on Your future will not feel so wild And your past is now gone In a little while you will see The treasures I have in store For all eternity Take my hand Sue and follow me With love - The Holy Trinity Copyright Kizzy York aka Karina Oakes November 29th, 2016

Tears fresh, as if only yesterday Hence, many years have gone Since you passed on I miss you still It has made me ill Love entwined with the passing of time Time is still Time ceases Time, no more Time without you Days whiled away Twiddling thumbs Feeling numb Don't know what to say or do Life is so empty without you And yet Eternal hope springs nigh That - when I die Tears will dry as no longer will I be Without you Copyright Kizzy York aka Karina Oakes July, 2011

She awoke stared into the fire It was not blazing embers smouldering to a dim glow She had been in this cave so long Should she remain or should she go ? Light from the entrance streaming in Her eyes had grown dim Should she follow him ? Inside her heart he was beckoning Inside her soul, her spirit, Come hither with me Fear gripped In trepidation, she waits heart pounding in Her chest She knew he only wanted the best But, this cave she had been in such a long time Slowly, she got up Stumbled to the entrance dark was her way the light guiding her She gripped the cave entrance tight All she felt was fright She knew she had to step out Into the unknown Light so bright Her hands shielding her face It seemed so much safer inside the cave She tripped, stumbled crawled out her cave Warmth of the sun Warmer than the fire A different kind of warmth on her face She looked up Saw budding flowers Spring must be here The drabness of winter must disappear ...

Death draws nigh to thee Your soul gone to a lost eternity Pride made you lose your way Never to return to the brighness of day By not returning to your wife You ended up losing your life She said,  'Come with me, Honey' 'We shall make lots of money' Little did she know-you would deceive her aswell Like you deceived us all Me, exes, lovers, you were the one having a ball. But the good Lord needed your games to stop I was the right woman for the job Till Death do us part-you said The Lord has a legal right to your life Till Death it is then I have remained single Not yet ready to mingle Obeying my Lord now Whole - heartedly Waiting for the Death Knell That will drag your soul to Hell My life-God will restore Bring me safely to shore But wait, it's not too late Jesus draws near It's not over yet You TRULY recieve him at your last Breath.

Welcome to Trinity, their 10th anniversary If I had only known before I would have walked quickly through their door They have not been quick to grow But they continue to sow From their meals to their Tea and Cake The ladies love to bake They do all this for you As a way of showing Gods love to you Do not hesitate, or leave it too late Be sure of your entry into the heavenly gate If you are not sure how, ask one of us And we will gently lead you to Jesus

Your mess was my mess too Till I fell out with you Or you with me It was hard to see But, let's not argue Cause now I have a room with a view You left, you see To a woman with plenty Leaving your mess with me Some new, some old As I was sorting through My house sold So that's why you see I have my room with a view As after you left me I sold my house And as quietly as a mouse I went to live by the sea I may grow old alone With none to pick a bone But rather that, a cosy fire Living with no liar Put my feet up With a nice China cup Think quiet thoughts Uncluttered Without you I am enjoying my room with a view Beside the sea Where I have always wanted to be Dreams do come true With or without you Hope you are glad I no longer get mad I have no need to Shh - now go - Shoo I would like to read A book or two !
