A child wakens amidst the rubble Of the dawn bombing of her home Just like her mother did all those years ago Victims of the same aggressor a generation apart How long before there is peace and justice in their lives? HOW LONG?
A mother’s love Sent from heaven To spread sweetness Among the chaos And pureness across The troubled land

Those that Love deeply Live better Live happier Live contented In spite of Life’s difficulties
Bliadhna mhath ùr The past year has gone and it is time for a fresh approach to achieve any goals that were not realised in 2022. The road ahead is not always an easy journey, and one of the things that makes the journey harder is when we lose anyone dear to us. Hope, …
Snowflakes flutter down and land on my head like confetti Reminding me of the day we became joined in matrimonial bliss. Your eyes shone like sapphires as you glided along in your wedding dress Not just the centre of everyone’s attention, but for me, the centre of the universe. We sealed the promise of till-death-do-us-part …
