MIRROR OF TRUTH

lnr0...@yahoo.com (ROBERT A KELLEHER) — Fri, 05 May 2008 02:01:38 UT

The mirror of truth, showed more than my reflection today
It spoke the reflections of time. Not just the hairs of grey,

But the reality
of how old I came to be.

How much slower I walk. Sometimes with a cane
to ease the aches of pain.

How my eyesight and memory
are failing me.

It showed my aging hands and face

REMEMBER

lnr0...@yahoo.com (ROBERT A KELLEHER) — Fri, 05 May 2008 01:56:38 UT

We must remember, time is never on our side.
We must remember, the ones who have tried
many have died.

We must remember, long after each of us are gone,
time continues on.

We must remember, my friend
God controls time, to the very end.

We must remember.

SURVIVAL

lnr0...@yahoo.com (ROBERT A KELLEHER) — Fri, 05 May 2008 01:55:09 UT

Survival.

Who will survive this night
and see tomorrows light?

Will it be you or I
who lives or dies?

As winters bitter blast penetrates our numbing shivering souls,
vainly we hide, while her biting unfolds.

Fearing her grim reap
afraid to sleep.

Our homeless souls don’t need her grasp

CHANGE

lnr0...@yahoo.com (ROBERT A KELLEHER) — Fri, 05 May 2008 01:53:07 UT

I remember how we promised to scatter each others ashes on our
favorite hill.
That my love, was a long time ago. Yet I remember it still.

One can’t do as they please anymore. So much changed over the years.
But not my tears.

When God carried you home,
On that bitter wintry night in the warmth of his arms

LOVE

lnr0...@yahoo.com (ROBERT A KELLEHER) — Fri, 05 May 2008 01:49:52 UT

Love’s like a flower. stems and feeds
from the seeds
Of sunshine and showers.
Nurtured each passing hour.

DEAREST DAUGHTER

lnr0...@yahoo.com (robert A K) — Fri, 05 May 2008 01:46:59 UT

When your mother told me we were having a child,
I didn’t know what to expect.
I was ecstatic and fervent all in the same breath.

For you see
I was a new father to be.

When your mother gave birth
to God’s most precious angel on earth,

I couldn’t believe my eyes
Tears of joy, were on the rise.

Nice Poetry

joun.flo...@gmail.com (joun.flower@gmail.com) — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 11:32:54 UT

Each time they say your name, A tear forms in my eye, How can I be
happy, If all I seem to do is cry........
