Poem: The Best Toys

Tuesday 31 May 2011 @ 12:10 pm
The best thing we can do for our children is to spend time with them……. rather than buy expensive toys for them. It is the school holidays now, so I guess I better invest in some of the best toys for my kids….. my time. :)

THE BEST TOYS

Author & Copyright: Mumsgather.com

The Best Toys are cheap
and some of your time

The Best Toys are funny
and lots of imagination

The Best Toys are interactive
and loads of attention

The Best Toys are fun
and full of creativity

The Best Toys are you
and mummy, daddy and baby

It is the school holidays. I am usually much more busy during the school holidays as the kids are at home and we have so much we want to do.The kids are my priority, not my blog. :) So, you’ll just be seeing glimpse of me here and there and I may not be able to reply to comments. Sorry about that.

Anyway, I hope those other parents with school going kids have a good time with their children too and I will be right back after the school holidays. In the meantime, I will probably just post up my poems from my obsolete geocities page.

BRB!




Poem: I’ll Always Be Here

Friday 27 May 2011 @ 8:02 am

This one was written for the man when he was facing many challenges at work.

 

I’ll Always Be Here

Author & Copyright: Mumsgather.com

When you’ve tried your best
And you need a little rest
Its okay my dear
Cos’ I’ll always be here

When you feel a little weary
From this tiring journey
Don’t look far look near
Cos’ I’ll always be here

When others let you down
And make you want to frown
I hope to bring you cheer
Cos’ I’ll always be here

When you’re tired from your burden
And there seems no solution
You know you can persevere
Cos’ I’ll always be here

I’ll always be here dear
You know I am sincere
Together we’ll feel no fear
As we go from year to year

 




Poem: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways

Written in 2008, on our 7th Wedding Anniversary.

 
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
Author & Copyright: Mumsgather.com

You make me laugh through most of our days,
That is surely one of the best ways,

I love the way you appreciate small things in life
I am very lucky to be your wife,

I love the way you are positive about everything
To tide us through all that life may bring,

I love that you are such a special father
And the way you bring our family together,

I love the way you take care of us
It saves me from a lot of stress,

I love the way you organize our stuff
It certainly helps when the going gets tough,

I love the way you share things with me
Even though I may sometimes disagree,

I love the way you put up with my forgetfulness
You are surely my other half with your decisiveness,

I love that you help me with the grocery shopping
How you turn it into our family day is so adoring,

I love you for making my dreams come true
I think of that each time I sit on my piano stool,

My dear this is the 7th year of our marriage
I hope that we can be together as we age.

 




Poem: Wedding Anniversary Poem

Written in 2007, on our 6th Wedding Anniversary. :)

 

Wedding Anniversary Poem

Author & Copyright: Mumsgather.com

This year on our wedding anniversary
It was a day like any other day
The kids whined till we were both weary
And the vacumn broke down to our dismay

This year on our wedding anniversary
I said dear lets go for a grand buffet
I like to get dressed with my accessories
And eat all my daily stresses away

You said “lets go to that place we used to go”
I said “great lets give it a try”
But then the manager told us to go
“Kids are not allowed” he said then he waved goodbye

So we went to that place across the road
And ordered some food that the kids would love
We ate and ate till we wanted to explode
I’m happy so long as I’m not at the stove

There was a sale so we said lets go shopping
We bought the kids some toys and a new vacumn cleaner
This new vacumn cleaner will save us from more mopping
And the toys will improve the kids demeanor

Happy Anniversary dear you said do you like your gift
I’m happy with small things around the house you said
Thank you dear I said with a sniff
Though I would have liked that pretty neckless instead

Thank you dear for still being with me and keeping your vows
Thank you for being such a family man and always being around
Thank you for taking care of me, the kids and the house
Thank you for supporting me when I am unhappy and down

I don’t need flowers, wine and expensive presents
When I have such a wonderful man all year round
We don’t need to celebrate only when there are events
I’m really glad that in you I have found

Someone to be with till I am old and grey
Whom I know will comfort me for the rest of my life
I hope that our love for each other will stay
On our 6th wedding anniversary and as long as I’m your wife
