Christmas, A time of forgiveness (poem)

Christmas, A time of forgiveness

A time of forgiveness, a time of goodwill,
A time to forget anger and let the wounds heal.
A time for the hope that came with His birth,
A time to reflect upon His work on this earth.

A time to remember those who cannot be here,
To raise up a glass and remember them with cheer.
Of the joy that you shared with them a long time ago,
For although they are gone, their love you still know.

A time of celebration with others around,
To make new friends of any strangers you have found.
To give to those who are less fortunate than you,
To help them find happiness, their hope to renew.

This time of the year should always bring peace,
As we look for the star that rose in the East.
As we remember the goodness that came from above,
And pray that to others, we can share some of His love.

Growing Old Together (poem)

Growing Old Together

Although we are older now,
You still look young to me.
I can remember just how,
The life we shared use to be.

My mind may be slowing,
My body is not so strong.
But my love is still growing,
And with you I still belong.

I will be there to the end,
By your side for eternity.
My lover and truest friend,
Forever to be with me.

Quietly on my own (poem)

Quietly on my own

I know I seem quiet and shy,
Wandering around on my own.
Drifting whilst the world passes by,
Or sitting somewhere all alone.

If that’s what you see, then please go,
For I live far beyond your sight.
I see a world you cannot know,
One full of harmony and light.

For within quietness, I find peace,
Within stillness, a chance to see.
My inner soul, I can release,
And within myself, I am free.

One Earth, One Life (poem)

One Earth, One Life

One earth, one life, a world shared by all,
One people joined under the living sun.
One chance for us to hear harmony’s call,
Echoed softly from when the world begun.

One life is ours, a journey that we share,
From creation until our time ends.
During that time, it is for us to care,
For us to love, to laugh and to make friends.

Too short for anger, too precious to hate,
Our lives should be as a gift to mankind.
As for forgiveness, it is not too late,
To seek for peace and to open our mind.

To share all our ways, to hold out our hand,
To not let hate win, nor hide behind fear.
One people, one life, one earth and one land,
Let us reach out and let others draw near.

Bedtime child (poem)

Bedtime child

The story telling is over, the book is placed back upon the shelf,
Carefully going round the lamp to avoid knocking off the elf,
A peacefulness upon their face, a busy day now at an end,
Reading, writing and drawing, then playing with a friend.

Straightening up the coronet, putting the cover on the crown,
Picking up the tablecloth that became that day, a gown,
The jigsaw’s left abandoned, scattered around the floor,
The animals have lost their box, found hiding behind the door.

The bed moves slightly, a final adjustment to where they lay,
Before descending deeper into the dream world where they play,
Then leaving them to their dreaming, and switching off the light,
Another childhood day now over, and another restful night.

Don’t let the anger win (poem)

Don’t let the anger win

Don’t let the anger win, don’t let the poison start.
Don’t let the hate begin, and tear us all apart.
One world we all do share, one life we call our own.
But others are out there, we do not live alone.
What good is hate to all? What good is angers bite?
When all we do is fall, as mankind starts to fight.

One way there is to walk, a hard march for the heart,
If we could learn to talk, and not get torn apart.
If love’s banner waves high, above a hateful word.
Then peace we all can cry, and let that word be heard.
We bring ourselves to fight, for peace and love, as one.
Those words we can unite, and in our name, be done.

When views differ (poem)

When views differ

If I am me, and you are you,
And cannot see, my point of view.
Then this I’ll say, my view will win,
For in my way, I’m right within.

But you also, may be right,
So need to know, that in my sight,
We disagree, but also share,
A chance to see, a truce in there.

Let us agree, that from our view,
If you were me, and I was you,
We could seek where, this differ ends,
And then from there, we would be friends.

The stones of forgiveness (poem)

The stones of forgiveness

The stones of forgiveness lay within the pool of pain,
Each a small piece that can make you whole again.
Reach into the pool and find forgiveness within,
Release it from the pool and let the healing begin.

Hold a stone in your hand so the forgiveness can start,
Open up your fingers and release it from your heart.
With the freeing of a stone the pool’s becoming clearer,
The bottom of ‘complete forgiveness’ now a little nearer.

Let every stone be released to where there is the need,
Until, from the pool of pain, every stone is freed.
The pool becomes calm, its clarity still and true,
The peace of ‘complete forgiveness’ now laying within you.

The joy of living (poem)

The joy of living

The joy of living and giving,
Brings a happiness to us all.
To be loving and forgiving,
Helps to heal a wound if we fall.

The joy of caring and sharing,
Brings harmony into our life.
With your own life, be sparing.
And to others, help ease their strife.

The joy of being and seeing,
Lets us know our humanity.
If our inner peace we are freeing,
It will help to bring serenity.

The joy of knowing and showing,
That a better person we are.
Helps the world to keep on growing,
And lets our kindness travel far.

Friends within Strangers (poem)

Friends within Strangers

We live in a world that is full of friends,
There are many that we have yet to meet.
Our journey through life has many bends,
And around some we will find one to greet.

A stranger can hide a new friend within,
With a chance to learn about who they are.
From that, your journey as friends can begin,
And, with them, you could travel far.

Every dawn brings to us new light,
To help guide our way into tomorrow,
And a new friend could come into sight,
To bring joy or to ease our sorrow.

Perhaps they need you to help them to walk,
Or maybe they could help your troubled mind.
But if we could just find the time to talk,
Then friends within strangers we could find.
