when we help

There will be times when we feel we are misunderstood
Whether the choices we have made are bad or good
Because each one of us have varied differences
that add on to our personal experiences

One man's meat is another mans poison
No validity required, explanations or reason
Because what works for someone, may not work for another
although they could be friends, sisters or brothers

At the end of the day, you have to live with what you decide
No space for you to run and hide
But if your sacrifice will bring joy to someone dear
then you're on the right track, nothing to fear

Good begets good, yet it's easier said than done
and in times of need, even friends don't always stand as one
dare to stand out, if the reasons are right
even if you're alone, press on and fight

Lend a helping hand when you feel it is time
Your effort may not be one, that costs a dime
yet to the helpee it may be worth much more than gold
you gave them love and warmth when they are most cold

Remember that life is always played fair and square
altho sometimes we feel, that we'll never get there
and if we wait to arrive before lending a hand
we may not get to the promised land

because lifes journey is never about arrivals
but how we juggle and struggle in our survival
and help another soul as we move along
both will survive ; safe and strong

please take my hand

It never sits right, to watch you turn and walk away
when there are still so many things that i want to say
yet the time never seems right, today or each of yesterday

i carry your smile in my mind and my heart, it brightens my soul
i remember your kisses and the warmth you bring, yet i am not so bold
to voice from my heart, what i have never told

you have possessed me and consumed me, over the years so silently
with your nature and freedom that i've fallen for, unconsciously
to open my eyes and feel you next to me, emotions swell, quietly

but yes, i do love you and i have always loved you, a feeling i do not understand
because up till now, relationships were never love but a necessity for my life, then
don't leave me to walk this unfamiliar road alone, please, please take my hand.......

What's missing?

Comfy chairs, lovely view, cool breeze...what's missing?

You.

thinking of you

Sometimes I wonder, if you think about me and smile a little
Because I do think about you and laugh
Sometimes I wonder, if you are all right and rested
Because I know how tired altho' you think you're tough

In moments when I feel that life has been harsh to me
I wonder how it has been for you
In moments when I feel that I am quietly alone
I wonder if you ever feel that way too

I carry your smile in my heart, because that's where you belong
I remember your eyes, how they warm me
Then I know I should be able to find the courage to be strong
It's how I have to make myself be

Before you fall asleep, wherever you are, give a thought here
Because even when I'm awake and busy, you are my dear
in the core of my soul
keeping me from the cold

precious memories

Memories are for safe keeping, at least for a bit
Until we find a box where it would fit
In our heart and soul it will reside
Images so real, he's almost beside

These precious moments are not to share
Not even to close friends, we wouldn't dare
For fear it might erode too quickly
Before we can deal with it effectively

Why deal with it, if it brought so much joy?
Simply because such memories are not like a toy
To replay to pass time or just for fun
And chuck it aside when we all entertained and done

Precious because it's picked for the keeping
And take it out we will, when we are weeping
So that it will give us some laughter and remove the tear
And give us the courage in the angry waves of fear

Memories are mine and the only thing that I don't openly share
It's too important and it's because I care

curtain call

We need to take stock of our lives now and again
Remember all the laughter and all the pain
And move on so that we are able to grow

When the time comes for curtain call
Walk dead ahead, stand straight and tall
If it has to be done, let it be done

Thoughts of Moving Forward

When a person smiles and warms your heart
and his voice makes you tremble so very much
Do you wonder if this fleeting moment will last?
Is it like anyone you have known in the past?

For the many broken moments that we recall
Which is the most painful of them all?
Is it the one who got away
Or the one you have to face, day to day?

We try to move on, it's what we can only do
We don't always succeed and so, that's why we feel blue.
BUT life has to go forward, or we'll never grow
Take a step forward, take it slow

One day we will heal our wounded soul
When the ties the bind become so cold
BUT until that day, we will have to be
Different persons for different people to see

Different yet the same, how do we explain
A switch of personality, who's to blame
no one will ever have the guts to say
it's my fault, so let me pay

Let's move it along, it's nobody's fault
Its' the luck of the draw and we got caught
Make the best until a better comes along
Stay clear and press on, just be strong.
