Love is all very well and good
She’s been told
But does it do what it should
Once it has its hold
Love doesn’t pay the rent
It doesn’t get you that job
It may seem like heaven sent
But of something in you it robs
She just wants some happiness
But her father says she’s foolish
Maybe a baby, what then? A life in a mess?
A career she may even miss
But she ignores him in all he says
Going with her heart
She sees bright sunny days
And that new start
But two years down the line
Her fathers words come a-knocking
Single and with a child crying
His words to her seem mocking
Her career took a back seat
When the child came
She struggles to afford a treat
Only herself to blame
But she wouldn’t change a thing
She just has a new outlook
A new path and wonders to bring
Even if her world was shook

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
