Praises sing
To Christ my King,
Hallelujah, You’re alive!
Death holds no fears,
Your promises
Hold fast and eternally last
Beyond our time or age,
Bound only by faith
And belief in me
As someone who could be.
You’ve shown the way
To beyond today
To more than we can see,
Your love for me,
Unconditionally,
Stretches every day,
Reminding me
You died for me,
You live for me to be.

Trumped up trial
For the King of Kings,
Guilty by presence
Whilst presenced with man;
Jesus, my minuteman.
No deceit within,
Yet tried by lies,
Pronounced guilty,
You walked to slaughter
To make me your daughter.
You took all the bad
To make today good;
Pharisee fall guy
Faced down the cross,
Stretched by nails,
Crowned by thorns,
Mocked and jeered,
Scourged and scorned,
Betrayed by treason,
Dignified, beyond all reason.
Crude nails held fast,
Powerful powerlessness
Displayed to the last.
You drowned in plain sight
Turning day into night,
The cross of shame
Shamed the men of God
As You paved the way
To turn death into life;
Jesus, my sacrifice.

I’d bring you flowers,
If I could,
But as I can’t –
I’ll fly you to the moon and back
For fish and chips for tea,
With white bread and real butter –
Naturally!
Anything, to see your face
Smiling at me,
Reassuringly;
But it cannot be.
So I’ll cherish your memories
Tightly within me,
Conjure up your face internally
To connect super-humanly
On Mother’s Day
Just to say,
Thank you for loving me.

For Mam : Pamela Joy Cook (Phillips)
My legs are crossed,
‘Till I sprint to the loo –
Hoping to get there in time;
It’s a pain to pee
But it wouldn’t be me
Without this odd infection.
Elastic leggings are handy
When you’ve drunk
An ocean or two,
It makes you pee more
But there’s less on the floor
To mop up in the morning!
She’s not a friend,
By any means,
In fact, the less I see her,
The better –
Believe me, there are days
I wish I’d never met her!
I’ve built up resistance
To my favoured antibiotic,
If a new one’s not found
I’m destined to be
The old lady who pees
And goes a tad psychotic!

The depravity of humanity
Is the capacity to
Reduce someone to
An inhuman, non-being,
In full, public view.
Knowingly and openly moving people
Along a conveyor belt
To be tipped through
Cracks in the earth
Opened by false philosophy
And extreme ideology.
While the world looks on
And sees nothing.
Illegal internments, political imprisonments,
Weak governments,
Still persist.
The unseeing eye
Refusing to see
Children in camps,
Human rights abused
In successive histories
Including today –
Plausible deniability,
Denied their humanity
By voices not speaking
Until it’s too late.
Question loudly and vociferously,
Don’t mindlessly
Jump on the cracks
Where the crust is thin.
Counter argument with argument,
Challenge false gods
To prove their existence
Before the veneer of civility
Becomes just a number,
Destroying sanctity and sanity
With an altered mentality.
Beware, the gates of hell
Are easily opened.

Holocaust Memorial Day
Look forward
Not back –
Stop building walls,
Grab life by the balls,
Dive in and float
While you figure out
What’s next,
Adapting your stroke
To the boulders you meet,
Glide over them with disdain
Allowing the pain
To leave you
Immune to defeat.
Set your course
Avoiding those
Who pull you down,
Grind you into the ground,
Travel on,
Do all the things
You planned to do,
Be you.
Joy and happiness
Are a witness
To living life
Gloriously fulfilled.
This is my plea
For 2020:
Look forward,
Not back,
May the waterfalls
Inspire you,
To swim without fear,
Enjoy your year.

The shy little girl
Who cried and cried
And wouldn’t leave my side,
Didn’t like playgroup
Or starting school,
Held pencils tight like a tool
To attack the page,
Tongue sticking out
In concentration –
Today,
This girl had a graduation!
Now a fully fledged teacher
With a staffroom mug,
A playground coat
And a bulging bag!
We are so proud
To shout out loud
CONGRATULATIONS
To Bethany-Ellen,
To your Dad and me
You’ll always be
Our shy little girl
With the pretty curls.

Clouds scudding across
Darkening skies:
Souls released from heaven
Flying over those below.
Interaction is forbidden
But looking is fine –
So they don’t forget
And will know us when we meet
In a next-world street.
Clouds merges and reform:
A reminiscence rain-cloud
Breaking your thoughts
And you see someone
You’ve loved and lost,
The shape of a nose,
A cheeky smile,
A familiar glint in the eyes,
Lights up the skies.
Clouds cannot stay
And nor can souls,
Quickly merging
Into unknown abstracts –
Blown by the winds,
Towed along by
Angel-hosts;
All-age humans
Awaiting reunion.

Time has flown
Since I lay awake
The night before your birth
Wondering if you were a boy or a girl
And decided I didn’t care
As long as you were there.
Fast forward thirty years,
My baby girl has grown
Into a self-confident
Fully qualified teacher,
Joining the family tradition
But doing it your own way
Monday to Friday.
Some things don’t change,
You still come home
Eager to share your day,
Who said what and when and why
And did I know the Visigoths
Wore cloaks fastened with bone –
At least I’ll never be alone!
Happy 30th birthday
Darling girl of mine,
Much lies ahead
Of this I’m assured –
Take it all in your stride
With a smile on your face
Living your life
In God’s good grace.
