A song for my mum, Pamela Davies, on Mother’s Day 2012. This was one of the songs at her funeral. Beautiful words I know she would have loved. The Rose by Bette Midler Some say love, it is a river That drowns the tender reed. Some say love, it is a razor That leaves your soul [...]

A Song for my Mum: If We Never Meet Again This Side of Heaven
Posted in Poetry, tagged Bereavement, Grief, Poetry on March 4, 2012 | 1 Comment »
A song for my mother, Pamela Jean Davies, on her birthday (4th March, 2012). She would have been 61-years old. She liked Johnny Cash in her younger days and to be honest I only started listening to him after she passed away. These words have a very special meaning for me. If We Never [...]

Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in [...]

I felt like getting creative, so here goes . . . Daydreaming the Unknown By Nicola Davies Steam rises from the coffee. I am lost in thought. The world flashes by, And only memories are caught. A voice comes over the tanoy. The voice of God, I think. I strain to hear his words, [...]
