I just thought I would tell you about my delayed flight to the Canary Islands,
After it was delayed by 3 hrs I kept telling myself not to get lured into any of the duty free shops
Before I knew it I found myself wandering around the Sunglass Hut, I was astonished at the price of designer glasses
I couldn't help but notice the saleslady smiling at me every time we made eye contact, I couldn't believe my luck, I spent half an hour wandering around the shop making eye contact.
By now I felt obliged to buy something so I randomly picked up a pair of Ralph Lauren shades and approached the till, this time I couldn't tell whether she was smiling or laughing at me as she charged me £100.
As she was wrapping up my shades she pointed out that with these glasses you don't get Cataracts.
I thought to myself bloody typical and angrily replied "And I suppose I have to pay extra for the Cataracts !!"

Rainbow Dreams
I wander the Bracken Heath
A silhouette of the moonlight
I am a lost soul
People say I'm a runaway
a failure in this game called Life
Dark clouds brood, as they follow me
thunder and pain never far away
but I want you to know I still believe in Rainbows
For I have stepped through the Brilliant colours of Sunshine that you bring

In Loving Memory.
Marvin sat in his rocking chair that had been hand carved by his late father, it creaked with familiarity as he nurtured his smoking pipe.
The log cabin was situated high in the Rocky mountains and stood in harmony with the surrounding landscape, again it had been hand built by Marvin's great grandfather. It had stood the test of time and was testament to his strength of character.
Marvin had always felt at peace as he looked out across the Ponderosa pines they stood tall and strong and had a certain wisdom
He took in a deep breath of crisp morning air as he thought back to the first time had met Elizabeth, they had been just 14 yrs old and had spent the holiday running wild through the pine trees with Infectious laughter.
By 16 they had become childhood sweethearts, and spent the days lying lazily in the long grasses listening to the gentle song of the Lark Bunting.
They had spent 50 yrs of their life returning every Summer to the cabin where they had first met, and in that time they had laughed and cried together, and had stood together as one through the good and the bad times.
Marvin tightened his jacket , he felt the cold these days,
He was now 78 yrs old and Elizabeth would have been 77, but had sadly lost her fight against cancer last fall, the Lark Bunting never returned that year.
Marvin's pipe had gone out and it was time to say farewell to the Rockies and his soul mate.
He never did return, and he himself passed away soon after,
It is said he had died of a broken heart.
They now lay together as one

Goodbye
I sit here on my doorstep, thinking of you
I still remember the first time I saw your face
as you looked at me, and I looked back at you
your smile filled me with childhood memories
with your messy face and undone shoelace
But nothing stays the same my friend
for time has passed us buy,
although it hurts and I say it with a tear
I think you know , it's time to say our final goodbye
but please don't mind as I fall apart
For I leave you now with a broken heart
please don't shed a tear for me
as you will always find me sitting on my doorstep
In the hope one day you come back to me.

Nobody
There was nobody beside me as I awoke to the first rays of light filtering through my window.
Nobody to walk with me through the fields of early morning dew
Nobody to share my aspiration , my dream
I sit here, just the tick tock of the grandfather clock............I contemplate my fate
and as the sun descends behind Autumn leaves, I look out across a crimson and Indigo sky
and realize There's nobody to tell I want to leave this lonely place
To do so with dignity and grace,
But please nobody forget me, for I shall be the wind in the trees, I shall be the sun on your back..
