George Bernard Hough

I look in my mirror and what do I see?
A young child at play
so happy and gay
looking at me
...

Deep inside my dna
wherein my characteristics lay.
A gene exists, it can be seen,
to make my eyes, brown, blue, or green.
...

To the one that I love who will soon be my wife.
I write from a land filled with trouble and strife.
Just marking the days passing by oh so slow
`till I`m there beside you then they will all know,
...

Global warming is harming our planet
and fossil fuels make this come true
by footprints of carbon from vehicles
even the ones that are new.
...

We knew the time would have to come

when our loving pair, with god`s will done,
...

It goes without having to say
that certain things can, make our day.
Dog, human being or cat
we all like to know where its at.
...

My life so far is seventy years
a life that`s had its joys and tears.
A life I`ve cherished every day
whether it was work or play.
...

I`ve lived here now for forty years,
happy times with so few cares.
I walk along my village street,
sometimes with my neighbours meet,
...

You came into our lives bringing love and trust,
your` affection had no strings.
We played together walked together slept together,
The faith you had in us reserved for kings.
...

He appears from a hole with real intent,
acting alone? or was he sent?
He makes his way, a treacherous route
to see what this human beings about!
...

Never more alas will I
hear again a babies cry.
The bird song on a summers day,
The laughter of a child at play.
...

Creating new life is our purpose
that`s why we are put on this earth.
To nourish and nurture our offspring
and love them for all they are worth.
...

Neighbours can be good or bad
make you happy make you sad
maybe making lifelong friends
never have to make amends.
...

Have I lived a good life?
is paradise for me?
I always saw the best in men,
my respect was given free.
...

Beauty surrounds and health abounds
But Death lurks in those cockling grounds
Care is needed as your` eyes feast
For beauty can become the beast
...

HOLIDAYS

When holidays come to the forefront.
To cut down the risk of a storm.
...

The person you see is not he,
he, is the spark of humanity
which entered his body at birth,
deciding his lifetime worth.
...

Sometimes its based on religion, and sometimes on where you are from,
but always its used to oppress you when a reasons decided upon.
Your` stout in your` faith and your` culture, and ever so proud of your` race.
But some human beings are heartless and throw it all back in your` face
...

At times he may have made you mad
behaving like a little lad!
Needing you to see him through
As his dependence on you grew.
...

When a historic building is left to decay,
A theatre where once, famous names used to play.
Its stage steeped with memories of happier days,
Of concerts, comedians and actors in plays.
...
