The Story Behind My Site
I decided to build a website with all my
own poems after a good response from visitors to the Bridgend SNU church who
think I should share them with others. My website www.daveboyce.faithweb.com
has been up and
running since 07 May 2004 it was last updated 4th March 2006 and is usually
updated weekly. I have had just a few website faults but I am working my
way to a better website. Learning from my website mistakes on a daily basis.
Several of my poems have already been published in The Cynon Valley Leader which
is a local valleys newspaper. I continue to send them copies and they
publish them to print as they are required .I have had poems in Poetry.com 2004
competition and have had 2 in the semi finals, still awaiting further results.
I have had one of them published in their year
book in 2005 . I have also had
two published in Dogma Publications books in 2005 and another due in April 2006.

Here's one poem from each year of the many I have written.
December 2003
Love.
Love
is like a butterfly
Flying round so free.
Love is like a rainbow
And
the colours that we see.
Love is unconditional
Unseen
in all its might.
Love is in your thought and soul
And always full of light.
Love is all around us
For all to give and take.
Love is inside all of us
For what we want to make.
Love sometimes makes you happy
And sometimes makes you cry.
Love will always be there
From birth until we die.

Life's Trials and Tribulations .
The
memories of times gone by
The happy times of past
Some will always be there
And some will never last
Life's
trials and tribulations
Are with you throughout your life
Whether it's having kids
Or marrying a wife
Things
are sent to try us
Sometimes we can get low
You feel that you can't cope any more
And there's nowhere to go
Life's
trials and tribulations
Don't think you can get by
For help, you only need to ask
Don't let the chance walk by
When
you're feeling low one day
Just sitting round to mope
Think of those great memories
To help you get by and cope
Life's
trials and tribulations
Not happiness and wealth
Remember all the happy times
At least you're in good health
******************************
June 2005
Elevated Thought.
Elevate your thought process
To a place that’s far away
You only need a short time there
You do not need to stay
Sit there in the quietude
When there is no one about
Ask them to come and talk to you
They will come through, without a doubt
Think of all the things you see
And what you don’t understand
Ask for other messages
Don’t expect or just demand
The memories you will be sent
Will be clear and distinct
You will decipher these quite easily
And you will not need to think
So when you have the answers
For you to just believe
Thank them all for helping you
And you’re ready then to leave
******************************
November 2006
Peace , Tranquility and Solitude
Peace, Tranquility and Solitude
Are the things we all need most
Sit all alone and meditate
Relaxing by the coast
Allow those sounds to agitate
And fill your empty head
Help your innerself to meditate
To natures sounds instead
The sound of wind and water
Waves crashing on the land
Listen to the tides which turn
And flow along the sand
Sitting by the coast
Breath in the cool sea breeze
It helps relax the mind and soul
And your body is all at ease
******************************
January 2007
Triumph over the
power.
Triumph over the power The world is your oyster Triumph over the power Think of the positive things Triumph over the power
Of negative energy
Think positive thoughts
To go where you want to be
One saying goes
When you can think positive
Things will come in throes
For the negative is weak
Although it makes you feel down
And your life really bleak
Which you do every day
And the happiness will cheer you up
And keeps the negatives at bay
For negative can't win
Think of everything that's good in life
And your new life will begin
12th April 2008
Complications
Some people live with complications
All the way through their life
They might not share their love at all
With a husband or a wife.
The complications are sometimes issues
Which rattles their brains
They need to figure how to let it go
So that love can be regained.
Sometimes they will have health problems
They don't want to talk about
Instead the stress is pent up
So all they do is shout.
Remember everyone has complications
And can cope much better than others
They may feel just like a loner
Because they have no sisters or brothers.
Some people can't cope with complications
Or with the stress pent up inside
This is why they lose their will to live
By committing suicide.
If you know someone is suffering
With complications deep within
Help their soul get back on track again
For their life to re begin.
