Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day…

Rome wasn’t built in a day, they say
Some things just take more time.
The bigger your goals and the grander your dreams
Means a far higher mountain to climb.

But take that first step on your journey,
Don’t worry about the speed or the pace.
Do it one hundred percent in your own time
You’re the only one running this race.

You will get to the top of that mountain,
If you don’t decide to turn back or to quit.
Sometimes you’ll run, sometimes you’ll walk
And sometimes it’s OK just to sit.

Just keep going with eyes on the summit
Enjoy every lesson you learn on the way.
The successes, the failures, every little bit,
As they say, Rome wasn’t built in one day.

Discovery

She dreamt of being famous
Of being a household name.
Of finally being discovered
And receiving critical acclaim.

Getting to practice every day
The very thing she adored.
Passion shining from within
She could not be ignored.

Her life would change, she’d be complete
She’d have houses, friends and cars.
Spending every day loving life
Full of sparkle, fizz and stars.

But as she lies there dreaming,
Life goes on right through it.
The one thing she didn’t realise,
Was she’d actually have to do it.

The first step is the dream stage,
Seeing it in your head.
The next stage is the work part,
Just getting out of bed.

She spent all her life just thinking it,
But never saw it through.
You have time to turn it all around,
And that’s exactly what you’ll do!

Please do ❤️

You Will See It…

Fluffy Slippers

Happiness can be simple
And found in the smallest things
Not everyone needs to spend too much,
We don’t have to feast like kings.

You will find it in an autumn day
Dog walking in the rain
Splashing about in puddles
Down a quiet country lane.

You will see it in your children
When they make you proud
When you hug them and they hug you back
And declare their love out loud.

You will feel it in clean cotton sheets
That smell floral and divine
You’ve shaved your legs and moisturised
And had two mugs of wine.

You will love it on a Friday night
Meeting mates down at the pub.
Catching up with gossip
Then dad dancing at the club.

Grabbing your favourite book
And snuggling up in a fleece.
Hot chocolate in a massive cup
Enjoying blissful peace.

All it takes is a little thought
Just think outside the box.
Grab your dressing gown, a G&T
And your favourite fluffy socks.

December

At last it is here, December arrived

Out comes the tree, decorations revived.

Switch on the lights and purchase the cake

The one that you planned and forgot to bake.

Time to go shopping, last minute again

Nativities to watch, meals to attend.

Wrapping to do, it seems never ending

Worrying about the money you’re spending.

Should you have goose this year for a change

And won’t listening to the Kings Speech seem strange.

Crisp woodland walks, wagging dogs tails

Getting great deals in the Black Friday sales,

Telling the children they cannot peep

That Santa only comes when they are asleep.

Watching Elf ten more times, you never get bored.

Wondering which dramas and films to record.

A magical time full of joy and tradition.

Sherry and mince pies and calorific nutrition.

Then comes the New Year, everything goes quiet

Joining the gym and the Slimming World diet.
