The Poem below is dedicate to my dad .
I wrote the poem @ School when i was just 14ys old , for my dad who had  died just a month or so before.
It was not planed it was something that just came over me and i put pen to paper.
My teacher said that i should enter it in to a poetry compatshion that was on in the UK,so i did ,i was the outright Winner out of thousands of entry's!
I was so happy and it made my mum so proud.
The prize was the poem published in Wendy Copes new book,she is a famous & well respected  writer.

Here is  is the Poem for you @ Myspace....Its called DOORS.

Doors
They're always opening and closing
Bringing a new life in
and an old life out
Don't get me wrong
I know this has to happen
One day
But it happened too fast for my Dad
His grand daughter
Just three months old
I think to myself
At least he'd got that memory to take with him
I wish he could have stayed
To see me finish school
I miss him, I love him, I wish he could have stayed
But it's to late
You can't ''wish'' and ''but'' and ''if''
But that's the way it is
Door's opening and closing.
