CHILDREN FIRST

The little boy who had no friends
Heart dropping in despair
Is it me it all depends
Be yourself someone will care

A wanting love is not the best
Mum and dad take drugs
Why are mine not like the rest
People think my folks are thugs.

Is my young life a special test
I long for pals to play
I want a life just like the rest
Are you listening , What do you say

No hugs no kisses from mum and dad
Their next fix is all that matters
I`m sorry if i make you sad
My little heart`s in tatters

Drugs have shattered all our lives
We just need some love
Druggies knockin on our door
Some have used sharp knives

I wish i had a new mum
One that held me tight
I look up at the moon and stars
Hoping God will shed some light

God has said he`ll help me
Take away the pain
He said my mum will love me
He set my heart aflame .

WOMEN

Where there is hope , You always cope
Life`s both sad and glad
Pregnant ladies shine so bright
There is a beauty in their plight .

No booze no fags no fish and chips
Keep those demons off the hips
Men don`t know how women tick
A lot of men make women sick.

Forecourt flowers are all the rage
See them on your face book page
All romantic don`t you think
Dead before you even blink

Battered wives are all around
They do their best  They`re really sound
Just hit back and note the change
Stop your man from acting strange.

Having babies all that pain
Joys of birth all heaven came
This wondrous child has said hello
Your selfish ways they have to go.

Florists not forecourts when you shop
You now have more than most have got
If you have a love that`s right
Never let it out your sight.

What to do to make a mess
Think about yourself i guess
Put her first with love untold
It makes her feel like solid gold

Women nag and never stop
Things go west and often drop
In fairness though they always care
Show the men folk how to share.

One last thing to understand
Women like to lend a hand
Show her love, Her heart will glow
Give her crap and she will go.

MUM

Celebrate all mums
The rock of most our lives
Celebrate the sacrifice
The heartache and the strife

Who else has given so much
Even when you`re older
You crave your mum, Her love, Her touch
Come on, Be that brave soldier

All mums are sent by angels
She hides her hurt to please
Comforts you in every way
Brings you through with ease

Thank her more for all she brings
Her life is lived for you
Make today her special day
In all you give and do

PRAY

Where is truth , Who is right.
I am led so many ways you see
Who has helped you to fight your fight
Jesus says cry out to me.

He`s promised love without conditions
Promised miracles to see
Give him all your inhibitions
God the father , He or she.

A case in point is when you hurt
Jesus will console you
Look within , He is there to be
Your strength , Your love , he tells you.

In your dark and dreary days
Jesus shows you light
Let him speak do all he says
Always in his sight.

He is real and not a myth,
The best , A faithful friend
His love will bring an inner bliss
On him you can depend.

Miracles they do happen
So few think they can
Facing all your painful problems
Jesus is the man

I saw him Twice, He smiled  a lot
He killed the hurt, The pain
Appreciate what you have got
Just don`t forget his name.

Pray a lot and give your trust
He knows what to do
Never doubt , That`s a must
He makes your life so new .

CHEATIN

As I gazed into the blue
I spied a shape I thought was you
Rather plumptious, Hair receeding
From this distance, A man of breeding.

Was it you or did I blunder
Could it be your legs asunder
Kicking sand up , Hopefully not
In my rage I should have you shot.

Fetch and stay were sat beside you
Playing fetch with both your shoes
I wondered, Do men ever grow up
More to life than sex and a sup

You only went to the local spar
Caught with your pants down having a jar
Talk about catching you on the hop
What could have diverted you from the shop.

Was it her from number Two
She`d do any favour just for you
Caught you at, Think you`ve shat it
This is it the time to split

Barbara Dearer was her name
Owned a shoe shop, So she claimed
Satisfaction in the sand
When you come out you`ll feel my hand

I`m not bothered , Not no more
She`ll come to know , He`s just a bore
No more moods and no more rants
No more skiddy underpants

I wish them well, Time will tell
Is it bliss or is it hell
Iv`e hoped for this, For years of my life
Thank you dear Barbara for ending my strife

A BETTER WAY BY JIM BYRNE

I like to think i have worked,
Never on benefits,  Never shirked,
The lazy man is work shy,
He`s happy just getting by.

I love those zero hours contracts,
Work one day, The next get sacked,
Government talk is such a farce,
Country`s on the up my arse.

Forty years iv`e given the state,
Just the same for all my mates,
Mouths to feed , Bills to pay,
Working men should have more say.

No jobs from school to Sixty,
Lucky if you get to Fifty,
My father before me he went and died,
I`ll always remember , How hard he tried.

We`d nowt but didn`t go without,
M`a were up before cock shout,
Hear dad thrutchin ,Constipated,
Got much farther if only he had concentrated.

Knocker upper, Round by Six,
Hale or shine waving his stick,
Happy days we all had nowt,
Days when coppers gave you a clout.

Let`s hope the future is kind to our kids,
Have lives of plenty, Not on the skids,
Did no harm ,Played out all day,
Kids today know a better way.
