Job Interview

Phil Lister1 Comment

Nervous,

It could all change

Life could become

Ever so strange

.

Can’t sleep

Can’t eat

What’s it doing to me?

I’m so stressed out

Is it to be?

.

That stress before

The work I put in

All that paperwork

Just to put in the bin

.

Research

Prepare 

Do everything I can

Tell myself stay calm

Stick to the plan

.

It’s just a job

I know 

It doesn’t change things

That uncertainty before

All the stress it brings

.

I won’t tell anyone

Not even my mum

Hearing no

Never been fun

.

Self confidence gone

Success ratio down

All these rejects

Make me frown

.

Approach it calm

All you can do

Take a deep breath

Have faith in you

.

Do I deserve this?

Is it finally a yes

Am I gonna get it?

After this

I’m gonna be a mess

.

Fate is gonna come knocking

One day

You will see

When you hear that yes

Your gonna be happy

10 months

Phil Lister11 Comments

Our little baby girl

In your little baby world

10 months passed so quick

We don’t regret one bit

You allume our day with your smile

Your blue eyes gleaming all the while

Play with your toys make a mess

Say our names our little princess

Make us feel better with a little hug

Show mummy and daddy your baby love

A little one

Phil Lister2 Comments

.

What would we do for them?

With their continuing innocence

Their regard always sweet 

Always have their confidence

.

Sometimes shy not for long

Until they’ve assessed it all

That inquisitive behavior constantly

More than us even though they’re small

.

Testing all the time 

To try and make us scream

A reaction is all they need

Your cracking at the seams

.

Jealousy is interesting 

how they react

Another child comes along

Parents love still intact

.

A little cuddle here and there

So soft like it’s a dove

Their insecurities shining through

Cause they need to feel loved

Think about …

Phil Lister3 Comments

Have you ever took the time to watch

To observe everyone, never that much?

We are all in a trance we do not reflect

People’s actions all aimlessly direct

How did you get to work? Automatic?

I bet you hadn’t even thought about it?

Did you change gears use the brakes?

Check in your mirror look at a lake?

Caught up in the daily grind

So much just going on behind

Pay attention otherwise the days will pass by

You won’t even see them go you will only sigh

Tick tock goes the clock hear it in your ears?

Draining sands dwindling, eating at your fears

Expired, passed it’s best, rotting away

Forget tomorrow, think about today!

My new book “Rhyming poetry to change your day” is now available in paperback. Available for free until 4th January!

Gently driving home

Phil Lister1 Comment

On way back home

2 days away

Christmas with loved ones

Surprises were at bay

.

Soon to return

To normality

En route in the car 

With coffee

.

Behind in the car

Looking all around

Seeing all these cars

With presents that surround

.

My baby in front seat

Trying to make me laugh

Mummy driving gently

As other cars go past
