To not live alone and be apart
To welcome love and share a heart
To take a blow without complaint
To offer peace without constraint
To be pure when morals scream
To only see beauty in all you dream
* * *
To show compassion to those in need
To be content with no thought of greed
To wish for nothing and ask for less
To live a life without duress
To offer silence in a raging storm
To be yourself and not conform
* * *
To accept the pitfalls along your path
To smile and always be willing to laugh
To see good where others see bad
To be happy and never be sad
To be complete with love to spare
To live in colour where nothing is bare
* * *
To encourage and abide
To be humble and not full of pride.
To wish that fear could abate
To offer friendship and speak no more of hate
If Christmas was not just once a year
If no child never cried a tear!
* * *
Sentimental words and points of view
If only some were all we ever knew!

About Daniel Kemp
Daniel Kemp, ex-London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver never planned to be a writer, but after his first novel —The Desolate Garden — was under a paid option to become a $30 million film for five years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company what else could he do?
Nowadays he is a prolific storyteller and in May 2018 his book What Happened In Vienna, Jack? became a number one bestseller on four separate Amazon sites: America, UK, Canada and Australia.
Although it’s true to say that he mainly concentrates on what he knows best; murders laced by the mystery involving spies, his diverse experience of life shows in the short stories he writes, namely: Why? A Complicated Love, and the intriguing story titled The Story That Had No Beginning.
He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication, been described as —the new Graham Green — by a managerial employee of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of signing events, and he has appeared on ‘live' television in the UK.
