Yearn

Everywhere we hear about trust To build each other we just need to trust To confess, we believe, it builds up our faith To hide the whole Word, it strengthen our faith The Word puts to practice, its heart is in action To do good than say, gets a better reaction To hope for the things that are yet unseen Is but a believers dream, still he yearns for the unseen

Sheaf

They look at me yet not see me They listen to me yet not hear me They touch me yet not feel me They talk yet dont comprehend me Just a shadow upon this earth Floating, flying see me crying Sailing, soaring hear me crying Dancing prancing feel me dying A feather so insignificant blowing A spot, a sheaf of life I moaneth.

Tiger

Tiger, tiger in the night light Burning so radiant in the moon light How long will you shine your radiant light? So majestic your stripes aglow Tiger, tiger so magnificent and divine You roam the jungles forests and pines How long will you shine your radiant light? So majestic your stripes aglow Tiger, tiger your coats of gold You look so fierce and are so bold How long will you shine your radiant light? So majestic your stripes aglow We stand together and join the fight To ensure your life should be our right We pledge no longer to fade your light So majestic your stripes aglow

My Deliverer

Everywhere I turn darkness seems to lurk The shadows reaching out to take a hold of me Surrounded by fears and untold pain, I hear you have been delivered from all your fear ‘I have you safe in the palm of My hands’… Whenever I am lost and so weary The world around seems so crazy Surrounded by all the chaos and confusion My hope is in Him my Fountain of Strength He makes me rise on eagles wings The foolishness of the world around me Its ideals seem to be thrust deep within me Surrounded by foolishness and its fruits I learn, my God is beside me to guide me The foolish He takes and shames the wise’ The weak and the lowly He makes strong Broken scorned and died so now I am strong His obedience became for us wisdom from God Strengthened with wisdom and love from above For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

Grandpa

My Grandpa with his stick and hat Would be up and out at six All dressed up and so grand He would be out till noon Hed then drag in a dear friend or mate And ensure that he has a full plate By sun down he is out and about To sing with his friend down the street Fenny for his night time company While regaling us with stories of old And as he prays and prepares for bed Plans for the next day fill up his head.

Airborne

I recall an instance so vivid and clear Its image in my mind not so much a blear I m taken back to a place and time When I was on the plane my first time My parents friends decided to take It upon themselves to watch over me And calm all my nerves, a herculean task As I moved, around screaming and yelling For my mom and dad whom I did not see They sang and tried all they could to cheer me But in vain for I was crying in pain Wanting to see those that I love As the plane soared high in the sky To console me they then began to lie Look out the window at the clouds Your family then youll see Floating high upon the clouds I looked down and lo below I saw my parents on a cloud They were so far below They didnt hear me shout I begged them not to leave me here Alas! They didnt even hear That all I wanted was them near When suddenly the clouds parted With it my parents departed Just like magic vanished in thin air Leaving me with bitter memories Of my first air borne day!

The need of the hour

Education is the need of the hour Doesnt matter the place or the tower If the village and the city are to meet Education is what they need The 2020 vision is at reach Not until the two ends meet To fulfill our entire nations need The village and the city meet Education for all will put a spoke In the minds of all who vote Words from those who bribe the nation With false hope and endless propagation

My Elixir of Life

I spend all my time feeling so alone With no sign of hope all I do is roam I long to go home to that City so fair But all before me are people who stare So cold hearted they are all on their knees Seeking mere man they are bent to please This is not the life I seek, to be an appeaser For what good will come to one who is pleaser? What I need this Earth has nothing to offer So I look towards Heaven to fill up my coffer I know this world is no longer my home I m just a wayward guest trying to find some rest His Word I cherish way deep within Cause its the path thatll lead me to him With peace and everlasting joy I find I am the Way the Truth and the Life And then I praise and thank Jesus My Elixir of Life!

Unchanging God

My problems are so many Ive been tried and so weary until my wits end is near Dont worry my heart for My Unchanging God changes Things for me You may feel the weight of the world on your shoulders as its burdens wear you down Dont worry your heart for Your Unchanging God changes Things for you Our enemies they watch us And plague us with fire They hurl us around until we tire Dont worry our hearts for Our Unchanging God changes Things for us

December

It was a December morn My heart was filled with trepidation Cause this was the day it was No longer just me! I anxiously watched the hours tick by And soon the clock was chiming four The church bells were pealing Was that all for me? The house was overflowing With an excited bunch Noisily moving to church in a rush What is this feeling welling in me? And at the altar stood my half Wed soon be joined no longer one and as his face welled up with love I knew for certain hed complete my heart For it was this December eve He promised that he would Take care of me!

My young man

Tiny little hands Tiny little feet Counting five fingers Counting five toes So divinely formed And woven with His intricate hands A tiny little mouth With two beady eyes A smile so tender A cry so loud Just to let us know That he is around! The first few months Are the sweetest Letting him explore His tiny little world Soon he will out grow His tiny little world Stepping into the pageant of man!

Marana tha Lord!

I wish I could sail upon a cloud so high And move along to distant skies To lands unknown by beast or man To the place we know as City of Gold To walk along on streets of gold And bask in the light of Old To drink from the fountain of Life And eat from the tree of Life I will no longer fear the cold long dark nights For my Lord and my God will shed His great Light I long to stay in His presence forever And by His throne I will leave Him never Surrounded by His mercy and grace I will always gaze into His face With the roaring multitude I will cry out Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty Who Is? Who Was? and Who is to come! Marana tha Lord Marana tha

The third degree

My little son hes just about six He prattles non stop at times I am sick He knows all the Ws, I dont know how? And before I know, its the third degree! I am not given a chance to answer When hes rattling off another His questions range from this or that Wonder what hes at! Where does the sun go at night? Why does the moon change its pretty sight? Where does the sea end? How does the rain fall? These questions that keep burning him while answers for a place to hide within I am armed with technology as my guiding light To answer questions am preparing my fight!

Silent Labour of love

My Granny shes loving and sweet Shes up and about at a quarter to six She does all her chores Before the house stirs Yetshe silently labored with a smile Silently yet patiently shes at the hot stove The heavenly smell of coffee brewing Just tickles the nose with all her toil While appams are rising and stews on the boil Yetshe silently labored with a smile The dishes she prepared was so fab Her Kormas,curries and fries were so rad the Puttu and dosa were heavens delight Many a time wed put up a fight Yet she silently labored with a smile I miss my dear Nana with all of my heart But I cherish her memories and all she taught Her duty she did without any fee She lives in my heart forever and free No Longershe silently labours with a smile

The Golden Sands

The trees gently sway in the summer breeze While the waves churn and foam on the sandy beach Visitors lay in the hot summer sun Drinking in the best of the summer fun The salty air so thick with noise From children who have no other choice But to break free from the shackles of school Into the blue of the sea so cool As the children play so free With gay abandon in the sea A watchful eye their parents keep And the other on trinkets they wish to keep Trinkets Sarongs on display A feast for eyes one must say Loads to choose from shoes to hues Luring everyone when they call The bright sunny golden sands Beckons everyone at hand Alas! Its all somewhere Far in the distant land

My loves song

I have my love right by my side He is my friend and always my guide My critic and my conscience keeper With him always near I dare not twitter He patiently listens to all I prattle And he never says all I do is tattle He lets me learn and I sing lifes song With him beside me I can do no wrong He lovingly holds me by my hand And close beside me he does stand As Adam promised Eve before the fall Hed stand with her through it all I thank the Almighty for what Hes given He knows far better than what Ive chosen For if it were up to me, Im sure as you can see Things would all go drastically wrong And how can I then sing a song?

A string

My life is but a string of thread That has a start but I see no end My struggle and toil theyre many So are my happy moments theyre plenty I try to be patient with this life Im given Sometimes its hard, but at times I am even

He loves me...

He tells me that He loves me through the pouring rain... He tells me that He loves me through the lonely lane... Every drop of tear He has shielded in His palm... Every bright new morn gives to me an added charm...

A floating cloud

I wish I could float on a cloud, up way up high... away from life's troubles cares and strife. Looking down on creation from way up high... watching God' creatures both great and small wondering and reveling at His Majestic awe. Why are we burdened with a load of care? Why do we have to please the man of Earth instead of the God of the air? Why can't we be like the birds of the air? who neither reap, sow nor care... We are tainted, tried and tsted everyday - by people who have no care.

My Shield

I wake up every morning and wonder what my life is worth people all around seem so strange and so out of this earth. Time flies, seasons change, yet I feel no thing, its all a haze. I was at the threshold of life and now I stand in its midst stones pelting, spears flying arrows darting... I have no fear cause I wear my breast plate of righteousness and the belt of truth... The shield of faith covering me from arrows that flameth... I wear on me the helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit - My God's Word...

United in Prayer

The golden rays that spread in the sky, and kiss the earth with golden light. Amidst the birth of a new born morn God's Angel holds a magic wand, to breathe new life to one and all. The birds awake and chirp with glee while flowers that blossom and bloom are free. The day progresses with warmth and love that has been showered from up above. The even' twilight signals the end of day when all God's creatures join together and pray

The Narrow Silver

As we watch the swaying palms We gently glide along the banks The children play along the river As we pass the narrow silver The shadows on the deep grey silver Makes my heart aglow and quiver Wondering if its secrets hold Mysteries yet to man untold A kingdom deep beneath the sand With a marching kingly band A mermaid waiting patiently For her princely charming he

Gods Own Joy

With straw hats covered they work in the sun Ready to cast their nets on the run And as it sinks down deep in the ocean Our heart beats faster with every motion And as it rises the nets full of glitter Drawing the crowds nearby with a flitter As our boat slips quietly away We are met by men with their ware Loads full of fish, prawns, crabs and cray We argue and we tussle And with a great deal of struggle We load our boat with a great deal of mussel We continue along our way All through Gods own land array Watching the waters and the sky Till we reached the land at nigh Hearts bursting and filled with pride To be a part of Gods own joy

City Lights

The city with its bright filled lights Has always given me the frights The hustle and bustle everywhere The noisy crowd without a care The taxi and the auto move Along the road in a snaky groove Id rather be 10000 miles From all these city lights… With the bustling and the noise Of this great busy city heights

Sail Away

I wish to sail away to some distant land So far away beyond time and sand Just me and the great blue sky Where the sea gulls fly oh so high The dolphins swimming by my side And the whales beat the gentle tide To feel the North wind on my brow To taste the drops of dewy snow To sail across the seven seas With no intention of touching shore

Raggedy Anne

My raggedy doll, she is so grand With her patchy dress and face of tan Her curly locks so dark and long Her eyes so big and wide a yawn I love my little raggedy doll And let her sleep by me till dawn. Shes my baby, shes my doll Shes my little Raggedy Anne.

A helping hand

The poor in India need a helping hand At times it seems they can hardly stand They need to be taught to read and write Armed with this they can begin their fight We should encourage and be encouraged to give our mite With this we can end their strife Calling all my brothers and sisters of this land Reach out and give a helping hand

Wishful Thinking

We the citizens need a helping hand Its the time for all to take a stand The Aam Aadhmi the cry of nation Who can listen to their situation? The leader promises a shining India How can She shine when all round is dull? Land scams, phone scams, Is all we hear When will this end is our foremost fear The people who need to take action Are busy forming coalition It is justice that we seek Or is it just wishful for the meek? We are a nation formed by men But fate has bound us to their plan Oh when from this curse shall we all be free? Time alone will tell we shall wait and see!

The Ink Black Sky

No moon lit night to shed its light The ink black sky alone at night No stars no planets to lend their light. O! Lo and behold! A lone little star Looking at me Twinkling in the dark black sky Gazing at me With its bright little light Twinkling at me with its little light When all at once their numbers grew First a few, then in millions Finally bursting forth in billions The ink black sky now filled with light No longer a lonely soul at night Fills my heart with its twinkling light

Transported

The train was speeding past the fields The boy inside looked out with glee The wires were like magic lines Moving at a pace past space and time The trees danced in the fading sunlight The little huts just breathing life The children quieting for the day As they move in blurs just speeding by The vendor inside cried Chai, Chai The boy turned to him with an amused smile The vendor looked at him and winked While the little boy just looked and blinked The train chugged along the railway line The darkness filling every sign The boy was lost in wonder sublime At once transported into distant place and time When suddenly he woke up to find Himself in his room so cool and fine Where he had been all the time

My family

I love my family and we are three My love, Danny and me We have a lot of fun together Time, place or season does not matter At weekends we are never free Cause we are shopping or at a matinee Folks say they never find us home Cause all we do is ever roam And youll never find us three Cause well always be on a spree!

My Little Brat

I have a brat as you can see He drives me up the wall two by three Some days hes good O! so good On others hes bad O! so bad At times I feel that Ive been had Sometimes hes such a loving doll The next, no oh no not at all He looks at me with those huge wide eyes And I know Im hypnotized He has me in the palm of his hand My naughty brat hes Daniel

My Baby

An Angel was sleeping by my side I dare not move, I dare not hide As he moved and as he turned I watched and waited until he squirmed When all of a sudden he turned and smiled the sweetest smile for me
