Daniel Bernard Kelleher Poems

My wish is to walk beside you
To hold your hand in mine
Feel your closeness to me
Just for one last time
...

Alone I stand before thee Lord
Remorseful for my wrong deeds
I choose to ignore your word
Now iam begging for my soul
...

I find it impossible to understand
How greed and power destroy nations
How its left carry on unabated
People power has to call a halt
...

As I sit by my hospital window
Watching people passing by
Its raining cats and dogs below
I wish I was by their side
...

You may not always see the wonder
Of friendships you hold so dear
Nor thinking of their value
Yet knowing they are always there
...

Stop look around you and listen
For sounds not heard in awhile
The fast lane you live in
You forgot how to listen
...

Even the angels cried when you left our sides
As your tiny little hands slipped from mine
No answers given as to reasons why
God had taken you from our sides
...

You often hear in passing
You hear them most everyday
Does anybody listen
Does anybody care
...

A child is born
A welcome birth
A future King
To save the earth
...

I have two children whom I love
I would not trade them for the world
A brother and a sister
So very much alike
...
