Best Friend 18.09.07

Before I met you I was blind.
But you helped me to see.
And since then all I try to do, I
s be a friend like you were to me.

You always being a smile to my face,
You brighten up my mood.
And if I could somehow repay you,
You know I surely would.

I'll try to always be here,
To life you when you're down.
Believe me, you look so much better.
When you smile instead of frown.

If I could live forever,
I'd do it just for you,
To make sure your always happy,
In everything you do.

And whatever day you live to,
I'll live 'til the day before.
Because living a day without you,
Would be unbearable and sore.

If you cannot find me,
When your sad and don't know what to do.
Just try and remember your happiness,
The times I spent with you.

But the clock is moving quick today,
Its time for this poem to end.
But before it does, Ill tell you this:
You are my most special friend.

Father of Her Child

Aaaaah! Time too post again. Work experience was awesome by the way.During it i photographed . . . the bulgarian football team, the GAA conference, David and Victoria Beckham, that murder scene in Belfast, a child porn guy walking out of court, and Cambell College's rugby team. Some other random stuff aswell but not worht mentioning. lol

Very tempted however to switch back from poetry back to photography again lol. Nah . .. coz if i do, i dont take pictures often enough :p.

Todays poem . . .

Father of Her Child

Crying and wailing loudly;
In the middle of the night.
Nursing it 'til morning.
When darkness turns to light.

Sleeping the rest of the day;
Induced by lack of sleep.
This is what its worth;
Fatherhood doesn’t come cheap.

But show your loving kindness;
It will pay off in the end.
Show no limits to availability;
Just watch how much you spend.

Parenting, for you, is about to begin;
A family you have started.
Give them all the necessary care;
And make that care full-hearted.

Never stop sharing your love;
And keep your temper mild.
Give your wife the love she deserves;
For you are the father of her child.
