Phil Ward Poems

Their love could not be stronger,
It stood the test of time,
Happiness reigned longer,
The more their lives entwined.
...

On a cold and frosty winters night,
There’s nothing more than I desire
To wrap a blanket good and tight,
Around me sat before the fire,
...

I sit and watch the world go by,
I drink a beer and give a sigh,
I have a smoke and close one eye,
And sit and watch the world go by.
...

My heart skips a beat when you turn on your smile,
Cos I haven’t seen you for such a long while,
Those little wrinkles on the side of your nose,
Are the cutest signs of our love that grows?
...

Perched high on a cliff overlooking the sea,
A black-headed gull was peering at me,
I’d come to meet some old friends of mine,
At a place that I love where I can be free.
...

John would look in the mirror and stare,
At the thinning of his hair,
Making wishes, needs and wants,
For a thatch upon his bonce.
...

Chillaxing on a Sunday morning,
Close my eyes and can’t stop yawning,
Sunny blue skies overhead,
Sunny blue skies in my head,
...

Come on in and pull up a chair, give me your hat and your scarf,
We’re having a party and everyone’s there tonight we’re having a laugh.

It’s Christmas Eve and the wines in full flow the mistletoes over our heads,
...

A most pleasant lunch I ever did,
Was spent at Pately Bridge amid,
The narrow streets and bunting flags,
Remnants of those cycling lads,
...

Suddenly our old cat's a spring chicken,
He's leaping about like a kitten,
It seems much more frequent,
The need for some treatment,
...
