Dr Peter Lim

Hello, Poetry
will you visit me
and share my muse
and my story?

Hello Poetry
I hope you'll not forget me
we've travelled so far together
so delightful has been the journey.

Hello Poetry
You have known my misery
intertwined with my joy
and so intimately kept me company.

Hello Poetry
time has spoken and I'm fading quickly
I long more than ever your consoling words
look not away, stay, oh do stay with me!

On a sad side

What this world needs now is love sweet love
Consideration compromise and care
There’s too much fighting and killing out there
Why can’t they use their brains
And work it all out
There’s no need for fighting
I’m in no doubt
A compromise
Meeting half way
Agree amicably
Is surely the way
Surely the precious lives that are lost
Is an enormous human waste and cost
Innocent lives are tumbled and tossed
There’s no respect for life on this earth

It’s here …. Christmas

Christmas is a happy happy time
Time to enjoy A tipple or two
mulled wine Will do
Turkey as a tradition Or a goose or a duck
Depends on who’ll cook
Presents by the Christmas tree
For everyone you and me
Singing Christmas songs
Sat by the fire with roasted chestnuts in tongs
Thinking of all the good things gone by!

Behind closed doors

She never did tell
That all things weren’t well
She always looked good
Even in a coat with a hood
But behind those closed doors
Were lots of floors
It wasn’t how it seemed
Although she just beamed
And after a time
Out came the crime
Battered and beat
She just couldn’t eat
She Looked so thin
So we took her in
Where she felt safe
and away from harm
Fed her trifle
Kept her warm
Now she’s to face the storm
Bless her
I know she will win!

It’s Christmas

Christmas is coming ever so fast
The problem here it never does last
it’s a time to be together for family
And friends
Time to tie up all those loose ends
Those who are alone
We should give them a home
Then help them on their way
To a brighter better day
Christmas is a time of great happiness and cheer
So let’s all just make it especially this year!

Happy Christmas everyone with lots and lots of love and hugs and kisses from me ❤️
