We simple people...we never cease to forget how happy we are :)

Hi all!

I'm in a great place at the moment. And sorry I haven't posted in a while. This post is incredibly self serving and I'm hoping that maybe my parents will see it. I don't think I really need to explain this next one. Hope you enjoy it and who knows for those ungrateful out their including me maybe this might open your eyes as well the way mine have been today!

Mum and Dad

I saw you today in the past

I saw you behind the camera

And I know that that is where you

Always are checking and making

Sure we’re happy and alive

In front of the screen

Dancing around on our feet

When they were small and

Even now that I’m older

I think it hurts

To think I don’t always

See how much you cared

It actually made me cry a little

But that’s a secret for me to keep

And it’s a smile for me to silently share

With you that I understand

How much you gave me and not in

A mushy way

Just the way that counts

There’s no point in writing and writing

Life is simple not pretty

Not artistic

You loved me

And this much I know

You only did what you did

Because you so wanted me to be all that I could be

You were proud

You always have been

Whether I was struggling to say

One word for two and a half years

Or now

I know whatever it is I do now

Really doesn’t matter

There’s something in me that

No success or failure can claim

As I said life is simple and this poem

Is even simpler.
Thank you Mum.

Thank you Dad.

I will try to take hold of the camera in the

Future, I hope you know what I know.

And....

The Portrait of me

Why is it the only thing

That makes me as sad as this

Is the end of something

But I don’t think I’m crying

About the end, it’s the middle

And all in between

They say pictures tell stories

But i know I was happy

And really I still am

But we simple people

We never cease to forget how

Happy we always are...
