Daniel Bernard Kelleher Poems

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
...

Days are getting shorter
Winter is coming in
The coming of the thunder storms
The howling that is the wind
...

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

My eyes closed tightly
Deep in though of you
The way you once looked
The way you once smiled
...

Asleep in a doorway on a cold winters night
Around him an old blanket wrapped up tight
People pass him without a care of his flight
Odd one says but for the grace of God go I
...

Since you went away
Years have passed by
No tears have I left
Since you left my side
...

I call around each morning
As I have done for many years
To help you wash and clean yourself
And assist you wash the ware
...

My friend introduced me to poetry
Now I sit and write poems as a hobby
Some are good some are bad
Bare with me you maybe glad
...
