Freedom Received

Thud, bash
You’re just another punch bag
Continuous taunting, haunting
Spoken words buried deep inside

Cages unlock old iron, gates creak
Pushing and pushing
Finding an inner strength
Tears flow with an unstoppable flood gate

Happiness is seen only in dreams
Get out while you still can is the panicked voice ringing in your ears

Your peace begins as the door slowly opens to new things
An open arm; a gentle smile, a caring hug is all that’s need to start the healing

Title In The Eyes Of A Child

It was a cold winters night, a night she would never forget. Here she is. Oh here’s her things just incase we won't be long. The door gently closes behind,

Here I am. Here at home, thinking on the times we had. We danced we leapt we laughed we cried with lots of fun. With many shapes and twist and turns cuts and bruises not forgetting skin burns. We’re left with a love in our hearts that will never die just grow founder each and every day. Nice group hugs were had by many just like one big happy family. We’re now left with a greater knowledge of many things a sense of self yes our inners selves too. Here look!! What I can now do.

Thank you I will never forget this week Love to you all Sally Miriam & Julia

A part of my story that is published in the 2009 Fermanagh Miscellany

I stood alone as I waved goodbye, well not really but it felt that way. Tears flowed one by one sliding down my cheek, dripping down my neck. I felt my face getting warmer as a selfish anger began to rise within. All I wanted was to scream but all I did was stand and look around. Placing my hand on my abdomen I inwardly sighed, it’s just you and I, my son, until the end of this war draws nigh.

Clips from my new book will be published soon

Peace surrounds us if we just sit still
Close ones eyes and allow our bodies to relax
Feel each and every inward muscle begin to loosen
And cushion to the surface beneath
Sense your breath with its inner and outer motion stretch
Jump up brush off smile and begin again



Thoughts wanting to fly to greener pasture
As life seems brighter on the other side

If we could just hide for a while
Maybe a new kind of peace we could find

A clip from my first book

The garden so peaceful and delightful
Such radiance radiates around me
Such peace and love within me
Excitement rushing out of me
If only you could see this sheer beauty
That shines around me

His face brightly lit like nothing ever seen
The sweet smell that delights in me
I never want this to end
The words ‘your time’s not yet’
Saddens my heart
Brings tears to my eyes
But why is my cry?

A clip from my Book With Thanks

Lost in the depths of fear
Constantly looking behind,
Racing on,

With a heart beating
Only a weakness can be found,

Pushing through the walls surrounding
Finding strength I can hardly bear
With shoulders wade down, I tally on
Until destiny appears
