Hello and many thanks for visiting my web page

My name is Paul Wilkins and I started writing what I considered to be poems many years ago. Many of them have been recognised as lyrics and I have expanded my work into writing carols and hymns as well as lyrics and poems. 

Over the years I have written many which are available for viewing on the web (see below) and two of my lyrics (Christmas Time and Don't Worry Be Happy) have had music put to them by Brian Tough which you can sample below. My favourite band is ABBA for their lively music and I also like Cliff Richard as the lyrics to his songs are very similar to mine. Music which is for easy listening and relaxing I tend to like but catchy lively music can be just as enjoyable. Most of my lyrics are based on a feeling of goodwill, being happy with life and appreciating it together with treating others with respect and trying to make others feel better. I suppose my main genre of music is what many would call 'nice and easy'. One day I hope to become famous since many of my friends, colleagues and other people have complimented me for my work and recommended having music put to them, so all I need to do is to get someone to put music to my work and have songs available to artists for use in their performances.

Ordinary folk seem to take a liking to my work and that is where the market is, so it is just a matter of climbing the ladder with others in the industry to succeed.

For special occasions and for people who have reached a milestone in their life I have written poems, including some celebrities who have acknowledged my work and been touched by the words. These can be viewed on the web (see below).

With the work I do I have entered competition and received certification for some of it such a reaching the semi-final in the UK Songwriting Competition. These certificates can also be viewed on the web (see below).

Thank you for taking the time to look at my work and review my songs. I am confident you will appreciate it.
