A Moment of Doubt

At times I find myself at odds,
And wonder if there is a God
Above watching over us.
To protect us from calamities as such.
When in one moment your loved ones are taken,
Your faith in God is shaken.
You feel bereft, alone, rudderless,
Because of the suddenness
Of the catastrophe so huge,
That there is a never ending deluge
Of tears pouring from the eyes
As you say why me, why me, and cry.

But human spirit is tough.
It is tested when the going is rough.
You first deny, then get angry and cry.
But at the end of it all you try
To accept the inevitable
And make efforts to make your life stable.

Truth is, nothing in life is permanent but change
So said a wise sage.

Without Tears

The ending defines a moment of change
Loved ones left wondering whose to blame
Sitting in a chair with a solemn face
Without tears is a lonely place

The ending defines a moment of change
Taking prescriptions to ease the strain
Noone knows when the shock will come
Without tears there's more to be done

The ending defines a moment of change
The diagnosis 'grief striken' and I'm slowly opening the gate
It phantoms to me that spirits are near
Without tears the conscious will endure

The ending defines a moment of change
Looking back on the photos that inevitable the same
Sitting in a chair with a solemn face
Without tears leads to terrible fate

The ending defines a moment of change
Reoccurring thoughts of the undesired stage
Noone knows when the shock will come
Without tears Mom's left frozen and numb

The ending defines a moment of change
Why did you leave me during the race
Seasons come and go as they usually do
Without tears the missing you can't be true

The ending defines a moment of change
Hearing your voice would be a blessing trade
Seasons come and go as they usually do
Without tears the missing can't be true

Faith Proves

Faith proves complex when tested
Sweet when manifested
Faith fills needs to break through
Tested it seemly sinks to depths blue
Faith is a glowing light in a dark tunnel
Faith tested is a dead ending channel
Faith is a destined escape
Faith tested loses all form and shape

Faith is the cry to all battles
Yet tested falls about in loose shambles
Faith is wholesome and complete
Yet tested it feels so much like defeat
Faith moves mountains
Faith tested seems like bondage constrains
Faith is a well planted seed
Yet tested the feeling is hopeless indeed

Struggles And Pain

The struggle, the pain,
When will it end?
How much more can I take of this?
How many times must I be tested?

How many time is it till I am wise?
I am a girl with a huge heart, and
I cry for others when it isn't my part.

I struggle with emotions and doubts;
What is wrong with me?
What's that about?

I want to be strong in everything,
but so far I feel as if I have acomplished nothing!
Somedays I feel, I hate this place
but all I do is ask for God's grace.

Some times my faith isn't strong,
and I feel this world is way too tough!
It is hard not to give up and succeed in a harsh place
of races varieties.

So whatever happens to me today,
I'll just face it with struggle and pain.

But I know that there is a purpose for the stuggling,
and I will find the meaning in it...

All that happens to us is working for our good. ROMANS 8: 28

Listening To My Father's Wishes

Never will I accept or believe,
A truth that keeps fear within reach...
Is a reality I will choose to live.
To feel hunted with a haunting,
As if I am a fugitive.

Nor will I find it my duty to seek a weekly dosage...
Of a forgiveness bestowed if I followed on a path,
That releases me of guilt if I professed sins committed.
To feel free again to repeat,
The moment a new week begins.

But I do and will acknowledge,
A gift of life I have been given.

And if I live my life in the making of mistakes...
The Creator who has made it all possible,
Will know immediately how to correct my efforts.
With a direct affecting in my heart to make known,
The path that I travel is not journeyed alone!

If I feared with tears and those obstacles that appear,
What progress will I make to appreciate this experience?
Listening to my Creator's wishes,
Is all I need to condone to live a life my Crerator owns.

New And Old

when you are new
to this world, you always make the impression
that you know how to choose

you delve on exquisite
and discriminating taste

and you always say what is in your mind
you call a spade a spade
and you prefer the diamonds
and the matters fit for the king and queen

but life is not really like that
you fall and bleed
and you find it hard to accept
these skin and bones
the cartilages and nerves that already
know what cutting and breaking mean

time teaches. time heals.
and you learn to let go

and learn to accept what comes
uninvited, the failures and
unexpected calamities

the words 'no', 'not now' 'please don't'
'why me? '

slowly they do not find relevance anymore
and maturely enough you begin

to say ' well, these things happen'
'sometimes they just come'
'inevitable'

'we just have to learn to accept'
'these are realities'

finally, you become a part of this world.
the answer has always been 'yes, and yes'

come, i am human. Come i am brave.
Come, i am giving. Come, take me. Come, i am ready.

now, you know.

This Side Of Faith

A stomach full of gin
A mouthful of vermouth
A handful of olives
Does not a martini make

Yet I keep trying
To drink my way to peace
Which of course
Does not a solitude make

So I ponder what in this world
Works to provide the equation
That holds true
Does not an intellect make

Suffer feel misery and pain
Feel ok enjoy a moment
Take notice of life
Does not a human make

Only god knows these things
Pray for guidance
Hope for answers
Does not a Christian make

Only in faith
does anything make
Only in faith
Only in faith

Inalienable Right

Don't complicate your life when you have love,
But rise up to the call of your imbalances! !
For disappointment is like a catastrophe at times.

You may be my peer and i may be like your lover,
But a gentleman always accepts his mistakes;
And like the acumen of a final case.

Lawyers can be very rude at times,
But my faith will always lead me on;
And like the aggressiveness of your state of mind.

Try to respect yourself and to avoid the odds,
And like a court case to respect at last;
But the airwave is what you have to listen to at times.

Inalienable right and the rule of law,
Don't complicate your life when you have hope;
But disappointment is like a catastrophe at times.

God Is

Faith is our muscle
That we must flex
At our worse times not our best
We must use it
To strengthen it
Over the years of life
Tragedies have come
That have brought tears with fears
But this is when you have
To put your faith into gear
Even in our times of hurt
Our darkest hour
Through our questions
And eyes filled with tears
This one thing is clear
God is
Faith is putting our pride aside
And realize
It is wise
To keep in mind
Though we sometimes don't understand
It's okay we are only human
Not superman or wonder woman
There is power in our faith
Turning our pain over to God
And rest in knowing
That God is...

Dillemma

When you are alone and bereft
And no longer so deft
You wonder what to do
Live alone or with the children as they urge you.

You have to choose between a life
Of loneliness and silence that is rife
Only with memories from the past
Which are going to haunt you till you last.

Or start afresh with a child
Slipping into their life in a manner mild
Where you can be sure to hear
The sounds of life and cheer
Rather than live with fear
Alone where no one can hear
Your silent cry for human touch

At times as such
When you are feeling low
And potter around the house in a manner slow
It’s not an easy decision
As there is’nt much scope for revision
Once you make up your mind
To try to find
A place in your child’s house
Without a grouse.

At such a moment there‘s no doubt
In your mind about
The truth that you are past your prime
And must gracefully accept the march of time.

Still I Rise

Shattered, but I'm not broken
Woudned still time will heal
Heavy the load the cross I bear
Lonley, the road I trod I dare
Shaken, but here I stand
Weary, still I press on
Long are the nights, the tears I cry
Dark are the days, no sun in the skys
Yet still I rise
Never to give up
Never to give in
against all odds
Yet still I rise
High above the clouds
Yet times I feel low
yet still I rise
Sometimes I'm troubled
But not is despair
Struggling, I make my way through
Trials they come to make me strong
I must endure, I must hold on.
Yet still I rise
Never to give up
Never to give in
agasint all odds
Yet still I rise
High above the clouds
At times I feel Low
Yet still I rise
Above all my problems
Above all my eyes can see
Knowing God is able
To strengthen me
To strengthen me
Yet still I rise
High above the clouds.

A Truthful Denial

What's to make truth a lie
To ponder wisdom, but let it by
What's to question passage truff
To iron down and make it rough
Don't you make your own decisions
Don't you make your own rhyme
Don't let a light burned down
Ruin tyrant time
Life's a humored truth in lie
Truth's a righted wrong of sigh
Deny two wrongs and right a truth
Put words in meaning, give them use.

I Sell My Soul

“My soul and body for sale “
Offer from fish to a big whale,
When saw a big danger face went pale,
But indeed plain truth and not simple tale,

I can’t grow any more,
Nor can I protect in downpour,
Never faced worst ever this before,
Broken at heart and body lay tore,

I may not offer or even fight,
Find no candle even there no light,
Situation may be worse or even tight,
Worries may be more solution not in sight,

Tough it prove life may prove hard,
Can’t keep it away or off may ward,
Still it may remain, close I may eyes,
Nor it may vanish even I make byes,

I may boost big and promise tall make,
Handle it with ease and eat like cake,
Shaken from within when face rough,
Resolve may shrink when task find tough,

Still I may not relent, and also lament,
But loose I may ground and offer no comment,
I may collect thread and wave it neat,
Try to project success and excellent feat,

Had it been in reach, I may hold good,
Last I may more even without food,
But alas! I am gone and face defeat,
I may loose ground and may retreat,

Still I may hold firm and loose not grip,
Dark may not deter even light may trip,
I still stand fast and put brave front,
Odd may not give in I may more confront,

But as I said I just cave in,
Future lay barren and I shatter within,
I can’t offer more than body and soul,
Life proved hard and I feel foul,

So do I offer soul and body sale,
Story may not find well with male,
But it may find favour and also flavour,
I may keep it low but it will clamour

Give me a Hero!

What is a Fantasy?
What is a Dream?
If they’re as true as they seem
Than can I make this Reality?

As I walk through the narrow stream
Soaked in make believe
My only thought is to yell and scream
To bring the missing piece I need
