The Tibetan Cherry Tree

The Tibetan Cherry Tree

Dressed in ribbons of copper and gold, Colours rich and deep and bold,
Textures both smooth and rough,
A strong wee tree and pretty tough.

Dressed in God's unfailing love,
Blessings and Joys sent from above,

My horse.

My horse.

Now my horse takes rest in his stable.
But once he was restless and nimble.
He ran as first as wind
and all other things stayed behind.

Sometimes I patted on his back.
He shook his neck and lifted one hind leg.
When I rode on...

Ageing

Aging

The beautiful leaf has a new gown,
The green of youth now turning to brown,
The transformed leaf is getting older,
But its beauty and shape is so much bolder.

An older leaf yes this is true,
But God has so much more for the leaf to...

Leftover lads

I always find myself between the scale of being in the crowd and being a loner.
Oh, but what is there to judge?
When you are but one of the leftover lads?
In the library is when it is clear,
That the crowd is the cooked
While we're the...

The Holly

The Holly

Vibrant red berries, juicy and sweet,
A healthy snack for the birds to eat,
They speak of health, what more can I say?
A joy to see on a winter's day.

The light dances off the leaves,
As the winter sun its brightness weaves,
The...

The Heart of God

The Heart of God

There in the garden was the heart tree,
A beautiful sight for all to see,
Its strong branches the shape of a heart,
The tree really was a work of art.

Many branches went off in different ways,
While the heart stood strong...

My True Self

My True Self Poem.

It was fun being dressed as the little elf,
But then I returned to be myself,
My true self I cannot hide,
For it is in that self God does reside.

People come and people go,
But myself she is always there I know!
If...

Johnny's Last Dive (unedited)


Johnny stood in the dark alone. High above everything he would now leave behind, he took that last step — the one that would define him forever and reshape in an instant who he would then become.

Johnny was a...

The Moon and Me

Winter Blessings

The Moon and Me - Poem by Kim Hamilton

There she was for all to see,
But on that morn it was just the moon and me,
God sends his lights to guide our way,
The moon by night and the sun by day.

Sometimes the moon stays...

God Sends His Rainbow

God Sends His Rainbow

God sends His rainbow in the sky above,
Full of hope, peace, joy and love,
Red, orange, yellow, green and blue,
Are just some of the colours that make up the hue.

God sent my Rainbow my beautiful cat,
And here she is...

Still Pretty Much a Bum

Soft as a breeze on a warm summers day
as light of sunshine reflecting off of water
at 12 age I wanted to be a boxer.
Too strong for me I guess.
I just like art and sports.
I say in responses: insight, foresight, out of...

Asked me to sit on the grass but I...
