When two little girls look up at me
it can remind me how good life can be and when I hear their voices in play
I love the funny things, they often say.
They can be happy and sometimes sad
they can be good and they can be bad
and when they smile and ask me to play
how can I not, do what they say?
One of them is six, the other one is two
without them in my life, what would I do
and if they are sad, I wipe away their tears
ready to comfort them and take away their fears.
I hope they will love life’s simple pleasures
the stars, the sea, and all nature’s treasures
and know they are loved by you and by me
always in our hearts wherever they may be.
I wish them success in whatever they do
I wish them happiness all their lives through
and I wish them in life all that is good
but most of all, I wish them love.
About Me
- Tim Kitchen
- It was certainly a new experience for me when I first started writing Poetry. I remember of course my father Fred Kitchen had written numerous poems, so maybe it’s in my genes. I certainly was not a person who appreciated poetry at all and to be honest, I still sometimes find it difficult to enjoy or understand poetry written by other people. However, I do take a lot of pleasure from listening to and reading the lyrics of songs. I will never be a Wordsworth or a Taupin but none of us should be afraid of just being ourselves and doing things our own way. Although I didn’t actually start writing poetry until well into middle age, it has certainly given me a fulfilment I would never have thought possible. My inspiration comes from a variety of directions but it would be wrong of me to offer too much explanation. I believe people read a poem or listen to the words of a song and relate to it in their own way.
