Jim O'Donnell Poems

Children playing in the street
Dirty face and dirty feet
Skipping ropes and singing songs
This will last all summer long
...

Footsteps on a sandy shore
Are they the ones from me before?
Swam to the shore from the sea
From a ship wreck catastrophe
...

Statues of you are world wide
You fill all nurses with pride
The lady with the lamp that burns so bright
Watching over us throughout the night
...

Born in nineteen forty nine
Ma wee sister look just fine
Sixty years have flown right past
She’s still a great wee lass
...

Baldness comes to men like me
And I am only twenty three
Few strands of hair upon my head
They know all the rest is dead
...

6.

I remember the day drugs came into your life
You thought it would never change your life
Well it did it took your smile away
And removed you from your family
...

Hero’s come in all shapes and sizes
Some of them are big surprises
Matters not just who they are
They come from near and some so far
...

My friends are leaving work today
Each going their separate ways
I’d like to wish you all the best
Workmates never the less
...

That big white horse he stands so high
And coat so white it hurts my eyes
A Clydesdale horse is the breed
Stand so proud does this stead
...

Laundry spirits all around
Stealing things without a sound
When I hang my washing out
Something missing there’s no doubt
...

The stonemason chisel rings out loud
Carving out stone to make people proud
He writes on your tombstone for all to see
Proud of his work happy is he
...

Sitting in my singlet vest
Look through the windows looking west
The tenement is old and gray
Three stories up that’s were I stay
...

Armed forces everywhere
This time of year lets show we care
Some of them are near and far
Peacekeepers, that’s what they are
...

I live deep within your mortal soul
I see all your life as it unfolds
I’m the angel you may not see
But I will always hold you close to me
...

Family tree for you and me
To pass down to our family
History of who’s gone before
Ancestor we have never known
...

Staring at the water for that bright silver ring
Casting his line to that very spot
Hoping that it will become hot
Standing waiting without a care
...

The building was strong and stood so tall
The Derby Royal Infirmary built to help us all
Built around 1810 its era now is at its end
Majestically covering Derby’s skyline
...

The sun shining brightly
From that far pulsing light
It shines on the building dazzling white
Windows like mercury shine oh so bright
...

Looking out at the vastness of white
Snow had fallen throughout the night
Footprints in the virgin snow
From whom they come I do not know
...

Twenty four years are rolling passed
And the twenty fifth one is here at last
What to do we do not know,
I’m sure we will have fun were ever we go
...

The Best Poem Of Jim O'Donnell

Children Playing

Children playing in the street
Dirty face and dirty feet
Skipping ropes and singing songs
This will last all summer long

Fresh air as there playing out
Keeps them fit as they run about
Games they play I know so well
As my journey back to my childhood dreams

Remembering the days no money about
All us kids just played out
Ancient games our parents would play
I still remember to this day

Skipping ropes tug of war
And playing tag I adored
Playing out from dawn to dusk
Happy were we school was done

Dinner time what did we care
With so many friends out there
Mum calls us in its getting late
And homely food on a plate

Slept like a log without a doubt
My energy all burnt out
Just what will tomorrow bring
Our gang is talking about building a swing

These pleasant days I remember well
Because many times in my childhood dwell
To see a smile on a Childs face
The world is a happier place
