The Meaning of Christmas (poem)

15 Nov

The Meaning of Christmas

What does Christmas really mean in this modern world today?
Has its meaning been lost amongst the glitter on display?
Or within the heart of Christmas, has nothing really changed?
Perhaps the meaning of Christmas has just been rearranged.

Christmas brings us joy and carries kindness within its arms,
A time when love and peace arrives, and when anger disarms.
A time of sharing with others your love that lives within,
Of reaching out with forgiveness, and welcoming hope in.

Let Christmas become a moment when peace gets shared around,
Where hate is swept away, so that happiness can be found.
Give love and hope this Christmas to others who are in need,
Let the meaning of Christmas be revealed in a kind deed.

The Strength of Peace (poem)

29 Jun

The Strength of Peace

Peace may be a whisper, barely even heard,
Maybe just appearing as a single word.
Lost amongst so many others flying around,
But somewhere within them, peace can still be found.
Somewhere amidst those harsh words being spoken,
Is that precious word of peace being woken

Peace may be lost for now, somewhere far behind,
Amongst those words of anger, it’s hard to find.
But still that word keeps appearing here and there,
Creeping gently over the edge of despair.
Moving away from those dark words that bring pain,
Nudging words of light into the world again.

Peace may be forgotten by all those who hate,
But within our hearts, peace has the strength to wait.
Those words of hate will end, burned by their own heat,
Then from those chards, peace will stand on its own feet.
Peace will march forward as it becomes a call,
For always, peace is the strongest word of all.

Harmony is the answer (poem)

16 Feb

Harmony is the answer

Harmony is the answer when today gets ripped apart,
From those scattered fragments, there’s a new world waiting to start.
Within all of those pieces, the good bits can still be found,
A chance to scoop them up and leave the bad bits on the ground.

Harmony is the answer to confusions painful spin,
Slowing our lives down, giving a chance for peace to begin.
Seek out those fragments of kindness, use them to line your life,
Then toss in pieces of hope, to ease you through times of strife.

Harmony is the answer when tomorrow’s lost its sight,
Reaching beyond the darkness, using peace to find the light.
Pick up those scattered dreams, set them straight once more,
Dust the damage off them, then back into your heart, restore.

So if harmony is the answer, how can it be shared?
Bring together the pieces that showed how this world once cared.
Mix it all together with the love found within your heart,
Then spread it around, let everyone receive a part.

Let love and harmony bring all of our dreams together,
Use peace and kindness to guide them through the stormy weather.
Discard all of the bad fragments that fell out of the pain,
Let us build a better world with the fragments that remain.

Anger is not the answer (poem)

08 Feb

Anger is not the answer

Anger is not the answer, no solution can it find,
Nothing good can grow from the tattered words it leaves behind.
Nothing can get better when words of anger are in flight,
Obscuring the present, robbing the future of its sight.

Anger is not the answer, don’t let it be your envoy,
It does not know how to mend, but only how to destroy.
It flings harmony to one side, leaves chaos in its wake,
All the love, peace, joy, and kindness within you, it will take.

Anger is not the answer, so don’t let it win today,
If it comes close to you, step back and let it go its way.
Anger can never put right any wrongs that there may be,
It only makes things worse, with solutions harder to see.

So if anger is not the answer, what can take its place?
Try taking a step or two back, and slowing down the pace.
Look at the bigger picture, let understanding begin,
Toss anger out the door and welcome compromising in.

Let love and harmony guide you through angers tangled maze,
Hold on to peace and kindness, as you move through the haze.
It may be a struggle when anger’s darkness brings its strife,
But the light of love is stronger, let it shine through your life.

Let peace find a way (poem)

14 Jul

Let peace find a way

Let peace find a way when anger rages all around.
In amongst all the confusion, let calmness be found.
When chaos takes control, keep your own order within,
Banish those shards of anger, let the healing begin.

Let peace find a way through the turmoil and the sorrow.
Anger has no place in the world of our tomorrow.
When no path can be seen that would take anger away,
Then within your own life, let your calmness guide your way.

Let peace find a way on whatever road that you take.
Peace can always find a way in the choices we make.
Fighting anger with anger will just help it to grow.
If we let peace in, then a better world we will know.

You can’t help everyone, but… (poem)

21 May

You can’t help everyone, but…

You can’t help everyone,
But you can help out someone,
There is always some kindness you can give.
You can’t help all those in need,
But you can do a good deed,
You can show them they have a life to live.

Kindness comes in what we do,
Helping others to get through,
Showing them that someone really does care.
We can guide them on their road,
Help them to carry their load,
Encourage them and say ‘you’re getting there’.

Understanding can be shown,
When others face the unknown,
A torch we can hold to give them some light.
Help them face another day,
Pointing out a better way,
That there’s a brighter tomorrow in sight.

A bit of love from your heart,
Can help their lives to restart,
Giving them the strength to keep on going.
And when you decide to rest,
Knowing you have done your best,
In your heart, your love will still be glowing.

A Crack of Forgiveness (poem)

08 May

A Crack of Forgiveness

A crack of forgiveness,
Just a glimpse shining through.
A chance to readdress,
The pain living within you.

A chance to open up,
Unlock forgiveness’s door.
Retrieve forgiveness cup,
And hand it out once more.

A chance to bring healing,
To find where anger ends.
To once more start feeling,
That you can become friends.

A crack of forgiveness,
Can become a new sun.
Shining with hopefulness,
Against pain, you have won!

Please be at peace with me, my friend (poem)

26 Mar

Please be at peace with me, my friend

Please be at peace with me, my friend,
Even though strangers we may be.
Let our anger come to an end,
Let us set our harmony free.

Please come and sit with me, just here,
Let us spend time with each other.
Do not be afraid to come near,
Come, let us greet one another.

Please accept my hand of friendship,
Through the confusion of today.
From the cup of peace, let us sip,
Let our promises find a way.

Please talk to me about your ways,
Let me learn about how you live.
Let us talk of happier days,
With each other, learn to forgive.

Please now walk with me, by my side,
Let us find our way together.
Let understanding be our guide,
Let our peace remain forever.

A quiet spot of your own (poem)

22 Jan

A quiet spot of your own

A quiet spot far away from the crowd,
Just a quiet place where nothing’s too loud.
Somewhere your life can settle for a while,
Instead of a frown, recover a smile.
A place of calm where your tension eases,
Where your mind can drift to where it pleases.
Somewhere special, where your stress can depart,
A place where you time is ruled by your heart.

A quiet spot where you can take a rest,
To just sit back and see life at its best.
A chance for your inner spirit to renew,
Opening your eyes, enjoying the view.
Closing your eyes, reflecting within,
Letting the dreams of tomorrow begin.
And when from this spot, it’s time to depart,
Tuck a piece of it’s peace within your heart.

The promise of a New Year (poem)

01 Jan

The promise of a New Year

The promise of a New Year,
The promise of hope is near,
As the path into your future begins anew,
The promise of a fresh start,
The promise of a new part,
Where your role in life seeks out a different view.

A chance to let go the old,
A chance to clear out the cold,
To turn and seek a new life towards the light.
A chance to let sadness end,
A chance to become a friend,
To reach out to strangers who come into your sight.

Your life can turn a new page,
Step out of histories cage,
Open the door and see the dawn of a new day.
Place your feet on life’s new track,
Shake off the past from your back,
And let the promise of a new year guide your way.
