Poems by Helen Grandison

Life is not just waking up one morning and saying, "Ok, I want this to happen."
It's about getting out there and going for it...

Life is full of surprises,
here, there and everywhere,
You never know where you will end up
or who you will end up with.
You just have to trust your faith and keep God close.

Never say never, 'cause you know you can do it,
Never say later; do it right now.
Never let people bring you down.
They will do anything to watch you fall,
so keep your head up and your heart strong,
and then, my dear, you can never go wrong.

I waited on your kiss,
Your warm embrace;
I waited on your lips and the way your hands twist.
I waited on your excuse,
I waited on your apology,
I waited on your eyes to look into mine,
But guess what. . . . .
I'm not waiting anymore,
I'm over you,
I'm through with you,
I don't want you, nor do I need you,
I have a line of guys waiting to replace you.
Don't be fooled baby love,
I'm not waiting on you.
Now I'm waiting to choose the next guy that will replace you.
Don't get me wrong, I am not angry at you,
I'm not holding a grudge against you,
I just don't like you.
So I am not waiting anymore,
I'm not waiting on your kiss,
I'm not waiting on your lips,
I'm not waiting on your hands to twist,
Boy please, I'm not waiting anymore.

I believed when you said that you loved me,
I believed when you said you would never leave me,
I believed when you said you had to study,
I even believed you again when you said you and me forever.
Now I know you are nothing but a liar and a cheater; you are a betrayer.
I let you in my world and you destroyed it,
I gave you my heart and you broke it.
What else would you have done to me if you had gotten the chance?
You know what I can't believe most of all,
The mere fact that I even believed you. . . .

my family is great
my family is fun
we are there for each other
and everybody knows to run
when one is hurt
I love my family
we are fun and free
I love my family
it's my mum, dad, sisters, and me

my family is weird sometimes
but in a pretty cool way
they are all so talented
and admired throughout the seven seas
my dad is great
he is always there for me
he never gives up and pushes and pushes me,
my mum is a fighter
but has gentle hands
she has a keen eye
and a mean left hook
my sisters are wacky
and cracky and everything dopy,
but I love them anyway

yup that's my family
oh boy my family and me
