The poems below are written from Trixie's own life experiences. They are poems that inspire, empathise, encourage, uplift, soothe, relax, ask questions, talk to God or simply express strong feelings about life situations. They are also about relationships with parents, children and friends, about hope and despair, beliefs, decisions, positive attitudes to life, different perspectives, and trust in God.

Give me dreams Undo - to do! Stuck in the middle It's nobody's fault What I want for you Reach When will it be? You've got what it takes It's so good to be alive! I've got so much in life The no-limit spirit I Believe Waiting God sends a friend Life isn't the way that we paint it Amazing Mum

Make the most of what you've got Relax - let go Every minute has a lot of livin' in it I could… Tomorrow Crossroads It's time to change I want to thank you, Lord It will come right in the end You're not alone A different point of view A whole lot of nothin' to do Friends For Mum, because… Mom is a word for… My own dear Mum
