Tim Kitchen Poems

It was on my regular walk, when I first saw her
with her beautiful red hair, flowing in the breeze.
A lovely young girl, in her teens
always happy to smile at me
...

Just to be happy is all I need
no dreams of ambition or desire to deceive.

Just to be happy with you by my side
...

Now they don’t want me, now they don’t care
might just as well go back to bed, up those wooden stairs.
They took it all away from me, everything I knew
now it’s all gone and there’s nothing I can do.
...

A little boy sits in a prison cell
in a land across the sea
everyone knows he is innocent
but nobody sets him free.
...

Door bells ringing, children singing
Christmas songs, just for you.
...

Just to be happy is all you need
not dreams of ambition or desire to succeed.

Just to be happy always caring and kind
...

Children snuggled up in their beds
trying to rest those sleepy heads.
Listening out for sleigh bell noise
as Santa delivers Christmas toys.
...

As Alice arrives at the Hospital door
a couple smile and say hello.
The girl who is heavy with child
asks which way they should go.
...

Hearing footsteps on the staircase
a young boy is silent in his room,
only moonlight from the window
brightens the darkness and gloom.
...

See the car parks
with their shiny new cars,
next to the sparkling new sports arena
and the smiling children,
...
