Kim Hilliker Poems

Dear Lord, I know you're up there watching over
Your every daughter and every son
And through all the world's changes, you continue
To care for each and every one
...

I have a pain so profound that I cannot name it
I try to ignore it, but I'm forced to claim it
It's a gut wrenching sorrow that only grows
An affliction that absolute misery knows
...

I remember when my daughter was born,
She had such an adorable face
She was the best companion ever, so
I dragged her all over the place
...

Don't preach to me about success as if you knew it all,
Assume you have all answers then soon coming is your fall

It's through mistakes and pain that our lessons are learned,
...

Don't come to me to end your strife
It's not my job to fix your life

You're strong enough, stand on your own
...

Suffer the little children who hide their pain
For these innocent victims, who's to blame?

Although many a tragedy happen at home,
...

How can I say thank you for all the things you do
When they're all so never-ending from a heart so very true

No gratuity could measure the amount I count on you
...

Sorrow, suffering and karma are
How life's lessons are learned
And through them in the end,
For the better our lives are turned
...

Pure beauty is eternal bliss
It permeates our existence
And lightens a burdened soul
The most beautiful thing is love
...
