My name is Kim. I live in Belfast in Northern Ireland. I am 63 years of age. I am a semi retired civil servant working in admin. In my spare time I enjoy spending my time with my friends walking and going for coffee. My Christian faith is very important to me and I would describe myself as very contemplative. I belong to a church group in person and also a contemplative group online. My hobbies are taking photos, writing poems, reading and a bit of gardening. I am a vegetarian and enjoy cooking vegetarian meals. I am a great animal lover and at present my family consists of my 15 year old tabby cat April and my 15 year old Shih Tzu dog Ben. I am new to writing poems and have only started a few months back. I am enjoying being part of this community and the people are very friendly and supportive. I have now written a children's picture book for children of ages 3 to 6 years of age. It teaches children about kindness and friendship. For anyone interested in purchasing a copy of my book for a small child it can be found under the title Ben's Sweet Act of Kindness by Kimberley Hamilton and is being sold on Amazon in All Territories Worldwide. I have also published my first poetry book which is also available on Amazon to buy. It is called Whispers of the Wilderness and is a mixture of some of my poems and prose on this website. It also has some nice photos in it to back up the poems. Kim

Over the Hills and Over the Plain (Revised)

Over the Hills and over the Plain

I remember the times of being free,
My wee back legs would carry me,
Over the hills and over the plain,
Oh, I wish I could have those times again.

For my wee back legs, they went downhill,
And oh it was...

Slow Down

Slow down life is not a race,
Slow down and give God space,
Slow down and take things at His pace,
Just slow down.

Slow down embrace the morning sunrise,
Slow down and look into a child's eyes,
Slow down life is full of surprise,
Just slow...

Childhood Days

Bucket and spade in my hand,
Building sand castles in the sand,
Candy floss at Portrush Strand.

Oh those childhood days.

Picking blackberries down the lane,
Hands were purple with their stain,
Stingy nettles that were such a pain.

Oh...

Voted for your poem. It brings the book and film Pride and Prejudice very much to life. The poem is very good and I enjoyed it. Well done.

The poem speaks to me of life's struggles and the person being swallowed up by the raging storm. With perseverance the person is finally set free as destiny opens the door. A great poem of perseverance and encouragement

thanks. I haven't been here for awhile due to writing Ben's Sweet Act of Kindness the children's book. We all need to slow down at times and learn to live in the present moment. Not always easy though. Kim
