Grateful LORD

God of all life,
giver of all grace:

We thank you for the gift of life:
for the breath
that sustains life,
for the food of this earth
that nurtures life,
for the love of family and friends that cared so much
without which there would be no life.

We thank you for the mystery of creation: and wonders of your Hands,
for the beauty
that the eye can see,
for the joy
that the ear may hear,
for the unknown
that we cannot behold filling the universe with wonder,
for the expanse of space
that draws us beyond the definitions of our selves.

We thank you for setting us in communities:
for families
who nurture our becoming,
for friends
who love us by choice,
for companions at work,
who share our burdens and daily tasks,
for strangers
who welcome us into their midst,
for people from other lands
who call us to grow in understanding,
for children
who lighten our moments with delight,
for the unborn,
who offer us hope for the future.

We thank you for this day:
for life
and one more day to love,
for opportunity
and one more day to work for justice and peace,
for neighbors
and one more person to love
and by whom be loved,
for your grace
and one more experience of your presence,
for your promise:
to be with us,
to be our God,
and to give salvation.

For these, and all blessings,
we give you thanks, eternal, loving God,
through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Ghost of You

I can feel you
at the back of my mind
Your breath sending ripples
of remembered joy
and sadness love indescribable
and pain, yes the pain
I thought I got rid of you
yet you're there
waiting for my eyes to close
so you can appear in front of me
with that wicked smile
your charm, my weakness
I remember the scars
on your face
growing red as you sip
your drink
and I thought
I could kiss the pain away
heal you in these arms
opened wide to embrace
the hurts and burdens
you carry
But I was wrong blinded I was
with your sweetness
Now I hurt as the illusion falls
I was broken
damaged by false hopes
the lies repeating
like a broken record
reverberating chastising me
for believing too quickly
because there was nothing
not even from the start
And so I shelved my dreams
erased what I could
images and words
that connect me to you
yet a ghost of you remains
living in my darkness
fingers trailing
a path so familiar
to the heart once laid down
exposed to your whims
shuddering as memories
push their way to the surface
only to fade like you

Something won't let go

There is something about you
I cant forget
Something about you
That wont let go
Though  I dont know you
Though we just met
There is something about you
I need to know
The way you use those words
A look in your eye
The way you move
The sound of your smile and sigh
There is something about you
That haunts my dream
There is something about you
That echoes in me ...!!!

ALONE

I’ve listened: and all the sounds I heard Were music,—wind, and stream, and bird. With youth who sang from hill to hill I’ve listened: my heart is hungry still. I’ve looked: the morning world was green; Bright roofs and towers of town I’ve seen; And stars, wheeling through wingless night. I’ve looked: and my soul yet longs for light. I’ve thought: but in my sense survives Only the impulse of those lives That were my making. Hear me say ‘I’ve thought!’—and darkness hides my day.

My sweet Mother

I took a little minute to write 
a poem for you my sweet Mother
It would turn into a lifetime 
for all the things you do….

So I’ll try and keep it simple
There’s some things I wish to say
And what better day to say them 
Today on mothers day..

Things haven’t been easy for you
We know you’ve had it tough
With one thing or another
God knows enough’s enough

At times you’re so frustrated
And you’re feeling rather low
But you’re cherished by your family
More than you will ever know

We know you want your life back
And how things used to be
But things will soon get better mum
Just you wait and see

In all my life you guided me
And showed me right from wrong
Your are my inspiration mum
You’re the music in my song

You were there for me when times were hard
You’re always close at hand
You guided me to happiness
You’re the best mum in the land

I never could repay you
You’re worth your weight in gold
If ever I would need you mum
Your hand is there to hold

Your advice is always listened to
But you always have to say
“It’s your decision” my dear
You’ll make it come what may

So thank you mum for making me
The person I’ve become
And through you’re loving guidance
I’m a clone of you “my mum”



Happy Mother's Day

Through good times and bad, You were there for me,
When I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel, You showed it to me,
When I felt life was too overwhelming, You telepathically took me in your arms
And told me it would be alright.
When I thought I didn't have the courage, You showed me I did,
When I thought I wasn't worthy of anything, You showed me differently,
When I swore I didn't have the strength to go on, You gave me the strength.
You are my angel sent from above, You are my dream come true,
You are the lover I always fantasized about, You are the king of my world,
And you are my knight in shining armor. You lighten my life,
You fill my heart with happiness, My soul with love, You complete me,
You were the piece I was missing in this puzzle that we call life.
I just want to thank you for being who you are,
For loving me, even when I act ridiculous,
For understanding me and my faults, And,
For being the greatest friend and love of my entire life.
For my darling, who has shared all my pain and sorrows, and also all my happiness and love.
For you I am truly thankful.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

It’s time to move out of a relationship
when you have to start compromising on your values and ethics. 
It’s time to quit being with someone who makes you feel suffocated rather than being loved.
Don’t allow anyone to take you for granted and degrade you because they are unable to see what you are worthy of.
 DARE TO BE DIFFERENT…
