I cannot understand this weather,
Or know just what to wear,
The weather man said it'll rain today,
But outside it looks quite fair.

Life is like a Rugby game,
You must play it as a team.
It's not about who's got the ball,
But how you win your dream.
...
If my body was a car,
I'd trade it in for a newer model.
For I think I need a towbar,
From the dents I've endured in battle.
...
Mothers are like teabags,
We are powerful to soothe.
Our children give us reason to brag,
From their birth right through their youth.
...
Our life is like a loaf of bread,
Soft, yet hard and crusty,
Bread is best baked to be shared,
We're born to feed the hungry.

I live in God's Garden
I am sometimes green or brown
But with God as my Gardener
I know I won't be cut down
...
Tossing, turning, cannot sleep
Leg in, leg out, too hot, too cold,
Turn the pillow, just right.
Brain churning, cannot stop
...
It keeps me sane and calm,
I use it to keep me grounded,
And draw strength from all the Psalms.
My hope is based on God's love for me,
...
Life is one long journey
That travels to and fro,
And when I give God the glory,
I know which way to go.
...
it's hereditary - as for me and my family,
it saves you from insanity,
it gives your life more dignity,
it offers you visibility,
...
Do you know the different languages
That speak of love so true?
The kind you show to others and
The one that's shown to you.
...
When life's become too tough,
and you don't think that you can cope,
When you've had just about enough,
And you're losing all your hope...
...
Arise, Scotland, Arise!
Awaken from your slumber,
Stop your slow demise,
And restore this land of plunder.
...
Praise God for motherhood,
Even though it's tough,
For all the days, both bad and good,
And when you've had enough.

Proverbs 18: 8 - Gossip is so tasty—how we love to swallow it.
Gossip is like chocolate,
So tasty, costly and delicious.
Eating it can become a habit,
But the effects can be quite vicious.

S is for shortbread and smoked salmon treats,
C is for Clans in their Castles with peat,
O is for oatcakes and oatmeal to eat
T is for Thistles and Tartan elite,

Who is that man with the great big hat,
Who lives down Hunter's Lane,
Who whistles a tune as he walks,
As if he were insane?
...
DSS, this country's in a mess,
Don't you think it's time,
To own up and confess.
It's time you towed the line.
...
I took my human for a walk,
The man with the great big hat.
But he kept stopping me to talk,
Or just watched me as he sat.

I'm a woman with a mission,
I've made my decision,
To have a strong ambition,
My fulfil my God-given vision,

Whatever The Weather
I cannot understand this weather,
Or know just what to wear,
The weather man said it'll rain today,
But outside it looks quite fair.
Up above the sky looks blue,
So I presume it should be warm,
But by the time I've gotten down the stairs,
The clouds are brewing up a storm!
On one side of our great, big house,
The clouds look small and white,
But on the other, quite the opposite,
Grey and dreary is the sight.
So do I trust the weather-man,
Who often gets it wrong,
Or should I dress in layers instead,
Must my sleeves be short or long?
Will I need my winter vest on,
Do I need to take my coat,
Should I carry my umbrella,
Please tell me, what's the vote?
The other day was quite blustery,
And I needed my dear brolly,
But the wind blew it upwards,
And pinned me to my trolley.
And hats I find are no good either,
They blow off in the second,
So what to wear in hurricanes,
Is something to be reckoned.
If I choose to wear a jersey,
The sun decides to shine,
And I end up hot and sweaty,
Which is enough to make me whine.
My problem is it changes,
Quite suddenly at that,
Four seasons in an hour,
And that's no lie, but a fact.
So no matter what the weather,
I'm doomed to get it wrong,
I'll be so glad when it is summer,
So I can wear my beach sarong!
