Poetic Thursday - Mother nature



Mother Nature's Cry


It took me a long while
To better the way you live.
Since you have turned hostile,
I've got no more to give.

My land is filled with waste
My children are displaced.
They live in utter fear,
Watching friends disappear.

You treat me like a joke:
Choke me up with your smoke,
Strip me of any clothes,
And leave me with my foes.

I have become man-made,
Who serves you like a maid.
Unnatural and impure,
A disease with no cure.

Do you know how I feel?
See the scars I conceal?
I lost my rights and voice
You leave me with no choice.

I am shaped based on greed.
In pain, I sob and bleed.
I have been infected,
Abused and neglected.

Do you hear me crying?
I am sick and dying.
You are my therapy
Love me and and set me free.

My children, I love you.
I hope you love me too.
Your mother needs you now.
Help me I'll show you how.

Recycle and conserve,
Heed the rights I deserve.
Hear my weakening voice,
Help me regain my poise.

It seems that what you do
Has more effect on you.
I am Mother Nature,
Not a human for sure.

You live the life you drain:
You breathe the air you stain
Drink the water you soil,
And eat the food you spoil.

My gifts you must protect:
From air to ocean shelf.
My love you should respect
Save me to save yourself.

Poetic Thursday- Daddies day coming up to the remebrance of 9/11

I contemplated on whether to save this for sunday or publish it today for my poetic thursday, i figured today was the right one. Im not entirly sure on who wrote this, but it touched my heart and i have to say left me in tears. Coming up to Sunday which is 9/11 take a second to remeber the lives lost. Daddies day Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was 'Daddy's Day' at school, and she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school, eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees, a dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in back, for every

ITS ALL ABOUT THE IVF

Image
The road of IVF So 2017 brought us our first round of ivf. It's a surreal experience to say the least.   Such a roller coaster of emotions, one minute your up and then next your sat there crying at an advert because the girl on it made cupcakes to say sorry! It's a process that challenge your fears, opens your eyes and makes you see things in a whole different perspective. We started with our initial meeting where we spent an hour signing all our paperwork. This was basically to give permission on what would happen with our eggs that didn't quite become good enough, permission to freeze some if any were viable. To even transfer and etc, it all had to be signed for. Also to use the embryos should my husband die. This includes counselling. So with that we had bloods and a scan done too, then it was just a case of waiting for 1st day of cycle to begin. Drugs were delivered.  My big white box of little miracles. Cycle day one came....another

Im a blogger get me out of here! memeTagathon

So I'm joining in with the lovely Kates Meme Tagathon . Its a little game where we answer questions we have been given, i will then tag other in it...watch for your tag! It is very simple to do and the rules are as follows 1) Answer the 10 questions and consider the mission. 2) Tag a blogger or two or more to do the same 3) Come back to my original blog post and tell me you have done the questions and answers . I have tried to make the questions Ok for those who watch the television programme and those that don’t. 1. What one thing about being a parent makes you scream “Get me out of here!” For me it would have to be arguing. My two argue like cat and dog and when your trying to sort it out and they scream on top of each other you can guarantee that's what your going to shout! 2. What skills, if any, do you have that would be useful in the jungle? I would be the ditzy blonde i think (although brunette atm ) I am often told i come out with the most funny statements
