Getting to the heart of love (poem)

08 Mar

Getting to the heart of love

Love is at the heart of our lives from the very start,
Through all our joys and sadness, love plays a special part.
Sometimes your love shines from your heart, clear for all to view,
Other times your heart feels like it is breaking in two.

On days when your heart is too painful a place to stay,
Then just seek out a place where your love can find a way.
Love will be waiting out there for you to discover,
And where love exists, so your own heart will recover.

Love is found within those moments you give in caring
Love is not meant for keeping, but is there for sharing.
Love is not for collecting, just to be stored within,
But for releasing, so that your own life can begin.

Any act of kindness will bring your love out on show,
Your love needs no reward to cause your heart to regrow.
Just open up your heart once more and then you will find,
The love in your heart starts flowing, just by being kind.

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.

You almost walked past me (love poem)

20 Aug

You almost walked past me

You almost walked past me on that day.
I almost wandered another way.
Yet something made me stop, take a pause,
A random choice with no special cause.
Maybe it was the view, a nice sky,
But in truth, I will never know why.

I was standing there when you came near.
Something made you choose to stop just here.
Two strangers admiring the view,
Two strangers seeking for the new.
Others were there, it was a nice spot,
But just how many, I’ve now forgot.

You made a comment, spoken out loud,
About the funny shape of a cloud.
Talking to yourself, that’s what you done,
But from those words, our future begun.
I laughed a little, you looked at me,
And with your laugh, you set my heart free.

Now many years later, here we stand,
Content with life, standing hand in hand.
Both so glad of that moment of fate,
You found my heart and opened its gate.
I found your heart, you opened it wide,
Together in life, our hearts reside.

Catching a smile (poem)

21 Aug

Catching a smile

I saw you come walking along the street,
With a cheerful tapping of your feet.
You had such a sweet smile upon your face,
As you walked on by, at quite a pace.
You rushed past me, your mind was elsewhere,
That you hardly knew that I was there.

I will never know just why your sweet smile,
Touched my world for such a little while.
Your happiness was so easy to see,
That it reached within to a part of me.
It brought a smile to me upon this day,
As I carried on, along my own way.

It made me think just how a smile can grow,
From a seed from someone I do not know.
That when you catch a smile, just by chance,
From a passing stranger, from only a glance,
It can cheer you up, so what I shall do,
Is to show a smile, to be caught by you.

Sharing your love in hard times (poem)

24 Apr

Sharing your love in hard times

Love may never seem easy when times are very hard,
Sometimes you feel that there is nothing left within.
Sometimes it seems fate has dealt you an unforgiving card,
And you feel that, with the game of love, you cannot win.

Love needs no cards, for there is no game it has to play,
So take those cards and toss them high up into the air.
Love lives within your heart and can never fade away,
Just hand it out, for there is plenty in there to share.

First promises of love (poem)

14 Feb

First promises of love

Let our love dance between us, listening to our heartbeat,
As we begin those first shy steps, awkward on clumsy feet.
Let our love lift us up, so we can touch the stars in the sky,
As we encounter love promises, and our hearts learn to fly.
Let our love bring us back, safely and gently, to the ground,
As we seek a way, to where a loving future can be found.
Let our love hold us together, to last forever more,
For it is you my sweet love, that my heart and I, adore.

A carton of Kindness (poem)

16 Aug

A carton of Kindness

I have some cartons of kindness
Please do come and get one today.
They are all made from helpfulness,
And filled with kind words to say.

There are plenty here for you to share,
With anyone else who’s around.
Just let them know that you are there,
And that with you, kindness can be found

They contain good deeds of all sorts,
Mixed together with a gentle touch.
There’s a sprinkling of kind thoughts,
Of those, you can never have too much!

It’s price is just a piece of your heart,
With a bit of tenderness as well.
There’s enough here to fill any cart,
And it costs you nothing at all to resell.

So come and pick up a carton today,
Add it to your list of things to do!
Then share it as you go on your way,
And help to make this a kinder world too.

Love and Kindness hand in hand (poem)

04 Jul

Love and Kindness hand in hand

Upon the road of life, love and kindness go strolling hand in hand,
And in our times of strife, they will work together to save our land.
Stretching out to us all, wrapping humanity within their embrace,
Peace and calm come to call, when love and kindness enter the place.

Kindness seeks out our fears, beside it love carries a guiding light,
They will help dry our tears, helping us to get through our darkest night.
Kindness will endure the pain, for love gives it the strength to survive,
Together they will remain, keeping humanities hopes alive.

Faithful to us they stay, for in sad times they are our truest friends,
Helping us find our way, until the battle with hate and anger ends.
We can assist them too, by letting them guide us through this sorrow,
Helping others get through, let our love and kindness build tomorrow.

Let peace find a way (poem)

21 Jun

Let peace find a way

Let peace find a way,
Throughout this new day,
Let love find a place in your life.
Let forgiveness win,
Share peace from within,
And let harmony replace strife.

Show others you care,
That you will be there,
When this day brings troubles to them.
Where discord if found,
Then turn it around,
And let peace shine bright, like a gem.

Sending a hug (poem)

13 Jun

Sending a hug

I am sending a hug to you on this day,
A little comfort coming from me to you.
To let you know that you are not far away,
In my thoughts, for what you are going through.

No words can I say that will ease your sorrow,
Nor any help I can give to guide your way.
So a hug I send for now and tomorrow,
A little comfort to help you through each day.
