A Collection of Scattered Poems

To Amber


Personal Page

Forgive me for having the impudence to include a personal pages on this site.
These are just a few of the numerous poems I have written at various times
while thinking about people who have enriched my life.


This poem was written for a wonderful little five year old who lives in
County Durham, England.
She fell in love with two dogs, Haji and Niki, in a story I wrote for my own
children many years ago.
In the story, the dogs claim to be vagabond bandits.
The poem is supposedly written by the two dogs she is so fond of.

TO AMBER

From Haji and Niki

A little girl so wondrous
That now each day we find
This little girl named Amber
Is always on our mind

A little girl so charming
So gentle and so mild
With such a loving nature
She is Mother Nature's child

She fills this world with sunshine
She banishes the cold
Her loved ones know her value
She's a treasure to behold

Your parents are so fortunate
Grandma and Grandpa too
Their hearts are overflowing
With the wonder that is you

This world becomes a wonderland
It's such a wondrous place
Each time your loved ones gaze upon
The beauty in your face

We're The Vagabond Bandits
And though we're dogs, it's true
We have put our heads together
To write this verse for you

We pray that health and happiness
Will be yours all your life
And that God will smile down on you
And protect you from all strife

We hope success will reign supreme
In every thing you do
For we doubt this world has ever known
A girl as sweet as you

This world is so much richer
For the love you have to give
And you will dwell within our hearts
In each day that we live

You have made our hearts so happy
With your gentility and charms
Now, your pretty face has pride of place
Upon our Coat of Arms

And although we're in Australia
And our lands are far apart
You will always be here with us
For we have you in our heart.

With the sincerest love from,
Haji and Niki
