Walter Killeen Poems
To touch and be touched is perhaps the most human thing we do.
It can provoke many emotions.
Those who have been hurt, fear it; and want to run away.
Run away from the terror, the abuse, the roughness.
...
(To my Children)
Remember always, that I love you.
Remember, You only have to ask.
I will do anything within my power to make this time less painful.
...
The time that I spend with others is valuable
but
The time spent with me..
in solitude...
...
God approaches each of us in different ways.
To some, He gives the gift of healing.
To others, He gives the gift of tongues.
While working in solitude, I often feel His presence...
...
Once upon a time a young man found a woman.
That special one: the eyes; the hair; the shape of her face; her hands; her special walk; the sound of her
voice. The love reflected in her soul.. Timidly at first, he approached her. He had been shot down so many
...
One day while swilching under an inverted Ocean in the middle of deep
dark Africa, I met a squilch who had lost their gronk.
As I rotated into a position not previously held by her I asked it what
...
For the rest of my life dear,
I want you to be,
my closest companion and all you can be.
To fill our dreams with just you and with me,
...
I know that you are hurting from the pain of these past days.
I see you searching for a kind of peace, a peace within.
...
IN THE BEGINNING...
There was the word,
and the word begat other words... and a sentence was born.
And the author saw that it was good.
...
IT'S NOT Hugs & Kisses or even the spoken words
although those are often its outward signs.
IT'S NOT about Caresses and physical touching
although these help it grow and indeed keep it alive.

Walter Killeen Biography
One of eight children. I have kept the tradition; I have eight who call me DAD. The last two were adopted at a time when most people would abandon a child. I have watched the power of GOD in the eyes of my children and grandchildren. (See 'Why God is real') My purpose is to help. To spread peace. To show that the only really important things in life can't be bought, they have to be lived. One day... when I get a few moments, I will publish the rest of what has been penned to paper. Some is whimsical, some is serious, some will make you laugh, others will cause a lump and a tear. The few things here have spread far beyond these pages. I guess that makes them worth reading. Sometimes you just have to let the words out... Enjoy.)

The Need For Touch
To touch and be touched is perhaps the most human thing we do.
It can provoke many emotions.
Those who have been hurt, fear it; and want to run away.
Run away from the terror, the abuse, the roughness.
In running away, we feel safe.
Safe from being hurt again... Safe from feeling... But oh so alone...
We have lost trust... the trust we had as a child.
Each time we are hurt, it becomes harder to trust in another.
Trusting that, in reaching out, we won't be hurt again.
But without trust, there can be no peace..
If there is no peace, there will always be a longing. Something missing...
In peace, we can be alone if we wish or
We can reach out and soak in the goodness of touching
and being touched by another. Both are good.
When we can trust in another:
Their touch calms us... soothes us... quiets our fears.
While being nursed, a baby caresses its mother while she nurtures him.
A father's cuddle is returned with contentment and joy.
That bond of trust, born from gentle touch, allows each to be at peace.
It allows each to gather strength from the other.
Some find that animals fill their need to touch. A dog's trust is unconditional.
It will follow you where ever you go and protect you with it's life.
All it wants in return is your touch, your affection.. Your caress.
A caress is a special kind of touch.. It is born of love and mutual trust.
A trust that allows us to stand on our own, even when the other isn't there.
Trusting that, if we call, the other will respond. Without fear...
Without questioning... Simply because we called.. A friend.
In quietly caressing and being caressed we gain strength.
nothing calms faster...
the child in all of us.
the need in all of us..
The human in all of us.
It is good to trust.
