Come Sit By Me A While: My Sweet Feathered Friend.

Updated on March 20, 2014

Well it has certainly been a while since I last invited you for a cuppa and a chat ; far too long to be honest!!

Anyway a pleasure to be here today and to share a little more of my life with you.

However before we settle help yourselves to your tea or coffee and also one of these cup cakes or Cherry cakes.




Little ones having fun.

Busy cooking !!!

Last Saturday I had my grandchildren Krystal, Riley and Lucas over ; after having lunch they decided they would like to do some cooking so this was just what we did.

Oh how wonderful it was to have the chatter of little ones fill the house and also all my cooking utensils whether needed or not were out all over the kitchen . How wonderful indeed hence today's cakes !!!!

As many of you know I work two shifts daily caring for two wonderful youngsters with special needs on their journey to and fro School ;the same school as it happens that I attended many moons ago .

The house where I grew up in was just behind this school but the road we used to get to the school didn't take us past the house and it was virtually out of sight. However one day around a year or so ago we were asked to go to the back of the special needs unit and we had to drive past this house; it was strange as I hadn't seen it since I was small. However I kept my thoughts to myself.

Again around three months ago we needed to get to the back of the unit once again but this time I was totally astounded ; there was no house there ;the large garden , garage and absolutely everything had been bulldozed to the ground ;not a blade of grass was left standing ; it was simply a site of stone and rubble. Again I hid my astonishment and carried on with my day as usual with no one else the wiser.

That night after Dai came in from work I told him and as I shared my shock I felt a surge of well being take over !!!

Today I know that the community where I grew up had got together and planned this but due to certain clauses it could not be carried out until now .

I cannot for the life of me put into words how truly wonderful it is to know that not a stone has been left standing ; the place where so much awful and dreadful abuse took place has been wiped off the face of the earth.

I thank these wonderful people from the bottom of my heart for what they have done for me and also in the memory of my beautiful and so musical talented sister Val.

God bless them all !!!!


Val with all the prizes she won for her beautiful singing voice and myself and my beloved Lassie.

Before sharing my poems I would like to share a little memory with you all !!

There were two majestic pillars at the entrance to the house and on these pillars were two ornamental white doves .

Despite everything I have always loved white doves and you may have noticed that I very often include them in my images.

Deep into the nearby Commins I would walk my Beagle Lassie and there was a clearing where I would sit and read my latest story book while Lassie would happily forage through the nearby thicket as happy as could be !!!

A little further on there was a tiny cottage in which lived Mr and Mrs Poole ; a lovely couple who I would chat to for ages and in their garden there were always some beautiful white doves and I have always connected these precious birds with happiness and beauty.

Right now onto my poems and I hope you all enjoy !!!

A celestial grace

a virginal pose

purity paramount

my sweet feathered friend..........................


A trust reignited

blossoms so fragrant

hues sublime

my sweet feathered friend......


From high ground to low

spring to Autumn

Summer to winter

my sweet feathered friend................................


Each sunrise caresses

as sunsets mature

a heart that sings

my sweet feathered friend.......


An infants light footsteps

instinctive resilience

secrets to share

my sweet feathered friend...................


You laughter echoes

joys clear and free

pains so lifted

my sweet feathered friend...................


Treasures a-glistening

promises wondrous

young dreams recognised

my sweet feathered friend......................


Fresh goose pimpled flesh

a plethora of senses

strength in abundance

my sweet feathered friend........


A sight of amazement

bulldozed to the ground

nothing left standing

my sweet feathered friend......................


A rush so awesome

senses now elevated

my joys shine to heaven

my sweet feathered friend.........


A life now wholesome

an acceptance so whole

you belong in my heart

my sweet feathered friend........................

Embraced

A boundless joy

Heartbeats almost dancing

Emotions rekindled and clear

Carried on the tides of eternity

Precious and tender my feelings

Shared by the winds of time

Those deep echoes

Embraced

Tender are life's winds

Each precious dew drop glistens

Softness becomes strength.


Emotions now true

Deserved that elevation

To hope to believe.


Walk through each new day

Those moments oh so precious

Feel that soothing balm.


A momentum shared

The graceful winds of time heal

To share and to care.

I hope that you all enjoyed today's visit and maybe one day a home and this time a happy home may be built on what today is simply a pile of rubble of no significance whatsoever.

I wish you all a wonderful day and lots of love from my little corner of Wales.

Eddy.
