Me & My Family

As I lay on my bed this evening
I wondered what is this life m living
A life far away from my own
Far from the place I called my home
A home that was filled with love n care
A place where I learnt to pray n share

The moments I lived as a little child
The laughter n tears all seemed so mild
In the arms of my Dad I used to be
But his unconditional love I failed to see
My dada was gentle, kind & true
Enthusiastic & jovial & found among few
He danced gracefully at any party we'd go to
With my mama in his arms taking steps two by two
Then came a day when we had to bid goodbye
Dada I miss you & your thoughts make me cry
Just want to tell u Dada with all my heart
That u were d best Dad n it was hard to part
I know you are up there watching over us all
Praying n interceding for us all
I miss u Da, I wish u were here
To wipe away my tear, n calm all my fear

My Mama lady full of life n cheer
Always brings smiles to all near n dear
Goes out of her way just to please
Rag pickers, an abandoned parent or a destitute child with ease
Her heart so full, so full of love
A chosen mama for us from the one above
Mama you are the most priceless gift to me
A loving child I promise to be
You are loved by people big n small
Another Mother Teresa you are to all
I pray that your wish of the old aged home come true
and am sure ma no one will be unhappy with a founder like u

My 3 brothers are strong pillars for me
Osborne, Russell, Adrian are their names you see
I couldn’t ask God for anything more
He knew that i needed these bros for sure

Obu Ba my eldest darling brother
He's kind, concerned n caring like a father
Always with a million dollar smile on his lips
Loved playing with kids n showing them his magic tricks
A man with a real, real big heart
Always giving without even keeping a part

Rachu Ba, the second in line
Always writes poems n gets them to rhyme
Never came across anyone like him
Honest, helpful n truly genuine
Bro I know I can always count on you
Be it my bill, house or anything... Nothing happens without u

Adu Ba, the third and last of all
Always there for you whenever you call
A spiritual help n guide is he
Specializing even in shopping good stuff for me
We've fought, we've cried, we've laughed n played
But as the day end it was our loved that stayed..

These r the ones who moulded me
Who made me know what I ought to b
My brothers my pillars, d strength that I hold
It is you who tot me how to b bold
I love you all and thank god for blessing me
With brothers so wonderful, so loving n free

I know u may feel this poem long n lengthy
But this is my poem based on ME & MY FAMILY .....

He & Me

I remember the day we met at the church
Me walking down the lane and He sitting on the porch
We looked at each other & shared couple of smiles
which was just enough to walk our way thru endless miles

He looked at me and said Hi, How r you?
His voice tome sounded so husky and true
My throat was choked and i cudnt speak
He thought i was just too timid and too meak

Then we walked up the stairs and sat on a pew
My heart skipped a beat when i heard him say Hey in which world are you
i turned to him and said im here just next to you
he turned back and said Oh then it better be you

We prayed for a while and Mass we did attend
He'd look at me many times and then pretend
I told him Hey this is what i feel for you
He smiled back and Said Norisha I love you

Life went on and so our love bloomed
We laughed & played all the games that we could
He called me names like baby, motu and all
And most of the names I can hardly recall

Then one fine day we promised our lives to each other
Our families met and began to love one another
They discussed our D – day to make it grand
We purchased new clothes & foot ware of all good brand

We attended our marriage course that had to be done
We made friends, played pranks and had all the fun
Calvin & Sylvia, Delia and Ronald became our best pals
To Mocha we went and there the guys kissed their gals

Our life was an adventure with love, fight and thrill
Every time we’d fight he’d make me take a chill pill
Then darkness came over the land
Slowly our love went against our plan

Dreams were washed, sleep was broken
My eyes wept tears without being shaken
I prayed Oh Lord bring my Old Love back to me
I waited, I sighed for a bright day to see

It was the 5th day of the eleventh month
When all my dreams came crashing in front
My world was finished, My life slipped
I wondered why oh why was I picked


He pleaded & sighed plz come back to me
But my ego took complete charge of me
He called me with excuses for a job for some
But aimed hearing my voice just for fun

Then he stopped calling me, coz he was insulted by me
He vowed and prayed, he’d never wait for me
He started his life and went on
Leaving me alone to weep and groan

Little did he know what went through me
I prayed and prayed, Oh Lord u know me
I wanted the Love of my life the same
But I don’t know why I acted insane

I called him then and pleaded with him
I prayed oh Lord forgive my sin
I told Him shona I truly love you
My life has stopped and I want only you

But by that time my love had moved on
He said I am sorry Norisha a new life ive begun
My mother has seen a girl for me
And she will be the one who’ll marry me

There’s one thing that I want to convey
Love is blind that’s what people say
Love the one who loves you more than you
For he will be the one who will cherish you..

Second Chance.

I was walking along the seashore of life,
It was early morning
& I was eager to catch a glimpse of the rising sun.
Alone I was enjoying the soothing rays,
the waves playing at my feet.
I saw someone reach out to me,
I didn't see the face, but held out my hand,
& we walked in amicable silence together on the sand.
As I was getting bored, I let go off the hand,
Even though it clung to me, I shook it off,
thinking it will forever be by my side.
I was lonlely but for a few minutes,
By now the the tide had risen andthe sun was overhead,
The waters beckoned me, shimmering in the sunlight,
another hand reached out and grasped me with the other.
This was a totally different person, a joy to be around,
Naturally the two eventually became close,
This time it was me who did not want to let go,
I clung to the hand that bought me joy and peace,
It shook me off,left me alone in the twilight on the sands.
Once again I was lonely, No one to hold through the night,
I felt something touching me, I opened my eyes,
Lo & behold my Friend, my old Friend,Was in front of me,
tears pouring down His face,
For me He had returned to me again.
He said He had never left me,
He was walking behind me, to catch me if i fell,
I'll never let go off His hand, never again,
I'll cling to Him this time,As no one gets a second chance.....

I BELIEVE......

I believe in "faith", inspite of a bad moment!
I believe in "hope" inspite of a future distant!
I believe in " joy" inspite of constant lament!
i believe in " truth" inspite of corruption rampant!
I believe in "peace" inspite of a war event!!

I believe in "liberty" even if its restraint!
I believe in "human life" even if its nascent!
I believe in "light" even if its latent!
I believe in "love" even if it seems absent!
I believe in "God" even if he is silent!

ONLY YOU

When I first set my eyes on you
I put you in my heart
To me now its only you
That gave me a new start

Thru out the day come what may
I'm as happy as as can be
Oh my dear its only you
That has cherished me

Every Nerve in my system
Is longing for your dear
My heart goes throbbing up and down
Whenever you are near

Please treat me nice and sweet
For its only you i own
If ever you should leave me out
Through out my life I'll Mourn

Oh my dear I'd love to hear
Sweet words like "I M yours"
For the only love I ever view
Is you my "ONLY YOU"

Departed

Days have gone o're so fast
Endless memories never to last
Pain u've caused in my heart
Aching and fretting about the past
Reaching to a point i came to see
That u were never meant for me
End of my worries have already started
Drastically since the day u've departed

A Balanced Life

My life has been balanced
with pleasures and trials,
I’ve had many tear drops
And thousands of smiles.

I’ve soared to the moon
and I’ve plunged to the sand
My life has been balanced
by God’s loving hand.

I’ve had many friendships
I’ve had a few foes,
In the life of a Christian
that’s the way that it goes.

Should I just accept
only good from God’s hands
No, I must endure
whatever He plans.


But I can be sure
and you can be too,
All things work for best
as God deals with you.
