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.

Through the Storms

I did not know His love before,
the way I know it now.
I could not see my need for Him,
my pride would not allow.

I had it all, without a care,
the Self-sufficient lie.
My path was smooth,
my sea was still, not a cloud was in my sky.

I thought I knew His love for me,
I thought I’d seen His grace,
I thought I did not need to grow,
I thought I’d found my place.

But then the way grew rough and dark,
the storm clouds quickly rolled;
The waves began to rock my ship,
my anchor would not hold.

The ship that I had built myself
was made of foolish pride.
It fell apart and left me bare,
with nowhere else to hide.

I had no strength or faith to face
the trials that lay ahead,
And so I simply prayed to Him
And bowed my weary head.

His loving arms enveloped me,
And then He helped me stand.
He said, You still must face this storm,
But I will hold your hand.

So through the dark and lonely night
He guided me through pain.
I could not see the light of day
Or when the storm might wane.

Yet through the aches and endless tears,
My faith began to grow.
I could not see it at the time,
but my light began to glow.

I saw God’s love in brand new light,
His grace and mercy, too.
For only when all self was gone
could God’ love shine through.

It was not easy in the storm,
I sometimes wondered, Why
At times I thought, I can’t go on.
I’d hurt, and doubt, and cry.

But God never left my side,
He guided me each day.
Through pain and strife,
Through fire and flood,

He helped me all the way.
And now I see as never before
how great His love can be.
How in my weakness He is strong, how God cares for me!

He worked it all out for my good,
Although the way was rough.
He only sent what I could bear,
And then He cried, Enough!

He raised His hand and said,
Be still! He made the storm clouds cease.
He opened up the gates of joy
And flooded me with peace.

I saw His face now clearer still,
I felt His presence strong,
I found anew His faithfulness,
He never did me wrong.

Now I know more storms will come,
But only for my good,
For pain and tears have helped me grow
As naught else ever could.

I still have so much more to learn
As God works in me;
If in the storm I’ll love Him more,
That’s where I want to be!
