Daniel Bernard Kelleher Poems

My friend the little robin
Lands on my window ledge
Pecking at the window
impatient to be fed
...

Memories and a silent prayer
To have known you was a joy
Today is not the only day
I thought of you and cried
...

He was once the domineering type
And he was always right
No one dared to cross him
So afraid of him were they
...

Play time in the school yard
While teachers walked about
A game of soccer we used to play
A can used for the ball
...

The country is out of recession
Our leaders would have us believe
The homeless are filling our streets
And some sleeping rough in the fields
...

Today for me is upsetting
The world today is unnerving
The terrorist attacks
These inhuman acts
...

I have cross many oceans
I have travelled many lands
Seen many different cultures
Shook many many hands
...

Silent night, Jesus Christ
See the star beneath he's born
Surrounded by angels and Mother Mary
Wise men came to pay homage to him
...

A visit from a stranger
He seemed to know me well
I have a message concerning you
May I come in and I will tell
...

Christmas comes once a year
To celebrate a birth
The birth of a special child
Our saviour Jesus Christ
...
