THE GIFT

THE GIFT 

When she came into this world
She did not cry
She received light blows to make her cry
God, she’s my daughter, my daughter
They said she’s is born with a syndrome
She is an angel no matter
They name it Down’s,21 trisome(y)
This occurs because of the extra chromosome
She’s now almost eight
Her ears have closed tight
The invisible waves which travel through the air
Cannot tickle her ear for her to hear
But they tickle my eyes for a tear
To cascade on my cheek
And I become meek
God, she is my angel daughter no matter no matter.

My note: These were feelings and the words that I penned when I learnt my daughter lost her hearing ability.An Angel no matter.

BETWEEN YOU AND GOD

BETWEEN YOU AND GOD

Be true to yourself because it has always been and will be between you and God anyway
People are often unreasonable, illogical, self centered,
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and some true enemies
Succeed anyway
If you are honest and frank people may cheat you
Be honest and frank anyway
What you spend years building someone could destroy overnight
Build anyway
If you find serenity and happiness they may be jealous
Be happy anyway
The good you do today people may often forget tomorrow
Do good anyway
Give the world the best you can and it may never be enough
Give your best anyway
In the end it is always between you and God
It is never between you and them anyway...

CONFUSION

Confusion 

Oh God help me out
Because I cannot
Make out why the hell
I need to quell

The emanating thought
From infinity to nought
That fill my skull
And make me mull

The ghost that we prod
The God that we bond
To talk about God
Is intresting, sometimes odd

I understand the devil
That he is evil
I cannot understand God
For he is incomprehensible

Some are afraid of Ghost
And some are afraid of God
But afraid we are
Humans that we are.

OH GOD

OH GOD!

God I'm grateful I can say

I've not been grumpy this fine day
No greed or anger have I shown
Or envied what is not my own
I've not been mean in things I've said
But soon I must get out of bed
And when I do,dear God, I'm sure
I'll need your help a great deal more.

THE TRUTH

The Truth

Where the truth is the heart is
Is it true,what we hear is the truth
Is it true, what we see is the truth
Is it true,what we say is the truth
Is it true,what we believe is the truth
Nay,truth is not what one perceives to be the truth
When falsehood is repeated many times
What you hear as truth, is actually untruth
When eyes begin to deceive you
What you see as truth, is actually untruth
When you utter words, when mind forgets
What you say as truth, is actually untruth
When to whims and fancies mortals succumbs
What you believe as truth,is actually untruth
Belief in truth comes from the heart
The truth lies in the heart,the heart never lie
Where the truth is the heart is.

THE ENVELOP

The Envelop

Our body has an envelope
Wrapped around the skeleton
Enhanced to give shape
Painted with colour
Projects the beauty outside
As the soul is sealed inside
Interacts with the opposite
Merges to multiply
As the envelop is peeled
Away from the body
With no beauty no soul
It is hard to differentiate
Without the cover
The cycle of seeking
Continues unabated
Attracted to the envelop
And not for the contents
In the Envelop.

MANS FALLIBILITY

Mans Fallibility

When miracles happen
Strong forces influence
Skepticism and suspicion
Assumption take precedence
Devoid of reason
Dots and connections
Near dear ones
Between bond loosens
Bemused it happens
Old soul weakens
Reaction of events
Relation in turbulence
Tears of sadness
Stature majestic bends
Solitude itself reminds
When miracle happens
Mans fallibility exposed
