I have seen the green shoots of spring
I have seen a grown man cry
I have seen unbridled joy on the face of a baby
I have seen sadness etched on old faces
I have seen the seasons change
I have seen a bus break down in the snow
I have seen a tree bear fruit
I have seen crowds sway with excitement
I have seen the red mists of an urban riot
I have seen calm after a storm
I have seen victory over exhaustion validate an athlete
I have seen mercy given by the merciful
I have seen a man lash out in anger
I have seen a woman’s rage
I have seen a teacher lose control of a classroom
I have seen a student put a book down in defeat
I have seen an argument begin from a single comment
I have seen friendships lost
I have seen two people fall in love
I have seen two people fall out of love
I have seen the beginnings of an affair
I have seen the end of one
I have seen faith in god restored
I have seen it lost
I have seen a boy grow into a man
I have seen a girl grow into a woman
I have seen a leader lost in leadership
I have seen the meek become forceful
I have seen a fake smile
I have seen a real smile
I have seen a person ostracized
I have seen a person welcomed
I have seen real friendships blossom
I have seen fake friendships fade
For I have seen much
Yet very little
For such a list could never be complete
Should never be complete
For such is the beauty of life
No day is the same
For all I have seen
I could never list
Yet I have seen
This
The everlasting poem

Finding your soulmate .. my tips for 'Soul Mate Sunday'
What would you do if you realised the person you most desired and admired lived only a few blocks away?
How could that be? you wonder...
You've never crossed paths before... never randomly bumped into each other in a local shop- or had a chance to wave at them from across the road.. But there you have it - right under your nose all along..
Life is nothing if not full of surprises.
Finding a soul mate can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack - yet it's possible that your soul mate has already been chosen for you.. and the time without them is just the right amount of time you need to prepare.
I believe that to truly have a fulfilling relationship there are various steps that need to be taken.. so I'd thought I'd share those with you today on what I've dubbed 'Soul Mate Sunday'
Step 1
Be the Best person that you can be.. the absolute best version of yourself-grow - learn more - do more.
This will inevitably bring you in to contact with more people who think like you... and are as passionate about you - as you are..
It may sound cliche to say 'love yourself' - 'know yourself'.. but really .. if you don't who else can?
Step 2
Write a list.
List all the qualities you look for in your 'perfect' partner. Don't write what you don't want - only what you do..
Anything goes - put it all down - tall? short? fat? dark? black hair - bald head fun - good listener - smart - funny- whatever does it for you - put it down - put it out there - into the ethos - once you done that- put it away - be open - and remember your soulmate may not be what you expect at all..
Step 3
Keep busy
Yep that's it - don't think - just do - actions speak louder than words never forget that
Step 4
Be patient
Things don't necessary happen immediately or when you want them to. They may - they may not. Have faith - know that it will.. just keep working on Step 1
Step 4
Forget the list!..
You wrote it - so now you can forget it. don't refer back to it like some mantra.. it's already in the ethos...believe
Step 5
De clutter. Make space in your life for this person as they're on their way. Clear out the wardrobe- have a spring clean at home - sweep the yard - paint the fence. Know how this person will fit into your life
Step 6
Listen not to the 'haters' or 'doubters' - 'bitchy women' or 'grumpy men'. Never look at anyone elses relationship and wish for what they have. You don't know what goes on behind closed doors...
Don't allow any negative thought or imagery to distract you. You know what you want.
Step 7
Be prepared. Do some research - read a few books. Increase your 'Love' knowledge
Step 8
As Step 7 ( but of a more intimate nature... if you know what I mean!! ;-)
yep..being lousy in that department 'aint' big ( pardon the pun!) and it aint clever.. think you know?.. check again :-)If it's worth doing.. it's worth doing well..
Step 9
Never forget to be beautiful inside and out
Step 10
How wonderful! - Your soul mate has arrived! Now show your love - celebrate your love.. be passionate - only say I love you when you mean it and...never forget to Smilex -

Soul Mate Sundays
I think love songs are designed for Sunday Mornings don't you?
Yeah you can listen to them anytime but Sunday mornings are special as it's the morning after Saturday night - when the option was always...'taxi for one!'
No .. you only tend to spend Sunday mornings with someone if they're kinda special to you - or they're becoming special to you!..put it this way...you didn't 'kick em out' for a reason!
Love songs on a Sunday morning will make you stand in the garden survey the wreckage and say.. 'stunning'
with the music on in the background.. whether it's Mikey Spice ( Play 'Love by you' whilst reading this and you'll know what I mean!!.. I've posted it so if you scroll down it's there..hmmm!!) Beres or Luciano.. or perhaps something more to your taste - time almost stands still and nothing and no one else matters.You don't have to work.. picking up a paper is a luxury.. and you enjoy preparing breakfast - without having to rush
It's all about taking it easy -while the Spring sun shines through your window pane
Knowing that all is right in your world
Feeling like a girl - just hanging out with a boy!
A Princess with her Prince
Everyone loves fairy tales as they tap into our basic desire for goodness and inner belief that love really can conquer all!
I love Sunday mornings don't you?
I'm gonna rename them Soul Mate Sundays! So when I ask - how's your SMS.. I'm not talking about your phone!
Let's get back to what really matters in life - what's really important.
The connection of souls - hearts- and minds - more powerful than anything you could ever possibly measure..

What Women Want!..Men Want!..A Poem
A woman wants a man who’ll do as he’s told
Without her ever having to tell him
Someone in a crisis to take control
Knowing that she can always trust him
A sweetheart in the restaurant but a tiger in bed
Who can function in the kitchen when you feel to take a rest
Someone who will do anything for you..
But tell me men… ‘a nuh true fi you too?
Clean and smart
But not afraid to get dirty
Emotionally present
Yet not too clingy
A good conservationist
When the need arises
Yet knows when to be silent
And never criticises
Tactile and playful
Who you rush home to
But tell me men… ‘a nuh true fi you too?’
However
Expect every now and then to feel confused
Perplexed over the ‘vibe’ towards you
Expect sometimes a one word answer
To feel like you don’t know just what she’s after
An odd look here
Maybe an ‘eye roll’ there
Don’t panic - don’t fret - just be prepared
For at times like that just smile and say
How beautiful you look today
How smart you are to do what you do
I don’t know where I’d be without you
Come to think of it
There’s not much difference at all
Guys like that too the world over
Funny things we humans yes we are
Men and women so different
Yet so similar
So the moral if there’s one I guess may be
To treat someone as you’d like them treat thee
To make you feel special through and through
So tell me men –…‘a nuh true fi you too?’
