Daniel Bernard Kelleher Poems

Looking way down the harbour
The landscape has changed so much
Once a place of beauty
Now a distant memory
...

I used to love to stroll on the beach
Feel the ocean flow over my feet
See teenagers freeze by the chill of the sea
And children jumping back and squeal
...

Funny the way things turn out
Where had your dreams got lost
You had your life before you
Knowing now this is your lot
...

Our little grandson who is almost four
For devilment he knows no bounds
A rogue if you ever met one
In the house as he plays around
...

A carers work is never done
Most times they feel alone
Hands that once felt smooth to touch
Now old and wrinkled very rough
...

My dreams are my salvation
My nights are my release
To wonder off to dreamland
As I drift away to sleep
...

My love for you is fading fast
Your betrayal I can not forgive
My love for you was steadfast
Until you broke my heart
...

I've known for weeks what I must seek
Find true love from the heavens above
God is my saviour from this impending danger
Send down his Angels to flush out this peril
...

In my eyes I hold your face
In your smile I see your grace
In my heart I hold your love
In my soul we will shine above
...

A troubled man
A troubled mind
No end in sight
No end to fear
...
