Through The Years

Through the years, I have thought of you quite often:
Your absence was ne'er a lacking that time could soften.
I had always hoped that our friendship would last forever-
With a prayer to God, I wished we would always be together.
Nothing could have prepared me for that fateful day-
What it shall mean, only our patient wait will say-
A wait for a time when you and I are both ready-
When our inspired hearts may be made to be steady,
To receive one another-wholly and completely,
When we learn to love one another unabashedly and repletely!


Through the years, I have found naught, with which to draw compare
To the beauty inherent in the depths of your soul-inspiring stare;
You need not be here, nor do I need be, there-
I may not make part with thee, nor would I dare;
Though the years without thee had numbered more than twenty,
Thoughts about thee had been beauteous, varied and plenty.


Through the years, our lives have been quite disparate-
Perhaps it was each of our hearts' way to prepare it
For the glorious resplendence that is our consort's refrain;
I could ne'er aspire to heights this lofty, nor would I deign.
Our parting was my sweetest sorrow, our re-acquaintance, its recompense:
Mine own soul hath gathered inspiration ever since!


Through the years, mine mind hath thusly wandered
To thoughts of the beauty you are, and the years that we squandered
In search of the ardor only we could, to each other, provide-
Though this too, was not left for us, to decide,
But rather parcel to His Grandiose Plan;
It was He alone that decided this separation's span.


Through the years, our disparate lives have yet been connected,
By a Power far greater than we know-He corrected
What was indeed our failure-that to our separation, we ceded;
Perhap we were just not prime, and knew not, what we needed;
It is no matter any longer, the solution hath been provided
Through the render of our ardor, our fate hath been decided:
What hath been yet revealed, is but to the whole, a pittance-
Our lives entire, offered to each as this burden's quittance!


Through the years, the Truth shall be revealed:
A beautiful amative comes to fruition, hitherto concealed!
A fanciful futurity depends upon but our own free will-
What it shall be, is to be decided still.
The power to mold same is in three most capable hands-
Fashioned by what you and I, as well as God Almighty, commands!

True Friendship

Regardless of the relationship
Having a strong friendship
Should be the base of it
Lucy and Nenita you guys
Are an awesome fit
No matter the distance
You two I will never forget
Years have gone by
My how time flys
I have always thought
Of our goodbyes
As long hellos
Because our friendship
Runs deep in my soul
Your friendship is such a treasure
Real friendship is not easy to come by
Even if you try
One can learn much
From the Redwood trees
You see how tall
That the tree grows
Towering above the ground
But beneath it
The roots are joined together
Strong forever
I wish that I
Could show you my heart
Then you would
Be able see
Your special spot
For now my words
Are all I've got
Always believe
What you mean to me
Our friendship will
Always Be

Forever

Forever
Now that youre gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
When we were young
With time to waste
Everything was clear and good
Thought we could live
For a thousand years
But yesterday is done
And tomorrows yet to come
Youll never know
Forever
Now that youre gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever
And I remember when we were fools
Everything was me and you
Thought we were kings
With time to kill
But yesterday is done
And tomorrows yet to come
You live and learn
Some people never take the time to try
The way you lives the way you die
The stuff of lifes in short supply
And if it sometimes hits you strong
Remembering that things go wrong
The song of life is just a song
And everything goes on and on
Forever
Now that youre gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever

I Believe

Shattered dreams, worthless years,
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell,
Life began, then was done,
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears
the sights our eyes behold,
Will open up our merging hearts,
And feed our empty souls
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
Without despair we will share,
And the joys of caring will not be replaced,
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
When the truths of love are planted firm,
They won't be hard to find,
And the words of love I speak to you
will echo in your mind
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again,
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again
God surely answered my prayer,
God surely answered by prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
God always will answer your prayers,
Believe in one who will answer my prayer,
Thank you God
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the woman I've been waiting for,
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the girl that I really adore,
Come on, let's fall in love...

My Best Friends

I feel like I've know you forever
Although I only meet you
sometime this past year
But our friendship will remain forever
No matter what shall cross our paths hearty
The best things that's happened to me
Is finding a forever friend like you
You'r there to listen, help, talk and teach to
And the best of all, I know I can confide in you
someone say the best love is one sprung from friendship
so I feel this is why we should try
time lead us in this direction
Should we follow on down the line?
Friendship and love are always intertwined
too close which some times causes confusion
But if we don't try.
we will never know if it way meant to be......

My Greatest Fear

My greatest fear is not absence of triumph
neither success nor victory are as essential

My greatest fear lies in losing you
Knowing that we won't be together
Thought our friendship last forever
Relationship closer than whatsoever

My greatest fear lies in the loneliness
In living life free of happiness
Mysterious wind full of emptiness
My hands crawl and lips sore with dryness

My greatest fear lies in the mystery
Our friendship now becomes history
Me falling apart like spring fruits from an apple tree
And finally an attack deep within the artery

Now that is what am afraid of
That is my greatest fear

Time Is Not Our Cage (Gabry Ponte Power Cut)

We are flying
and we're flying high till the end
We are men without an age
Time is not out cage
and forever we go on
We are flying
and we're flying high till the end
We are men without an age
Time is not out cage
Born to be forever young
Children of eternity
Always searching for a faster race
Defeating what time wants to be
There's no king
In this place
Like a star that belongs to the sky
And the times are our names in your mind
Our souls are the wings as we fly
Against time
We are flying
and we're flying high till the end
We are men without an age
Time is not out cage
and forever we go on
We are flying
and we're flying high till the end
We are men without an age
Time is not out cage
Born to be forever young
Just like an old song that's playing a tune
That revives what seems lost in the past
With dignity fighting for whom
In a way
Wants to last
Like a friendship of 10 years ago
That is frozen inside of a picture
That tomorrow can cancel and go
Against time
We are flying
and we're flying high till the end
We are men without an age
Time is not out cage
and forever we go on
We are flying
and we're flying high till the end
We are men without an age
Time is not out cage
born to be forever young
Free as a soul is
Far beyond all the boundries of time
Its you mark that lives on
We are flying
and we're flying high till the end
We are men without an age
Time is not out cage
and forever we go on
We are flying
and we're flying high till the end
We are men without an age
Time is not out cage
born to be forever young

In one night

In one night
My world changed forever
In one night
I became a woman
In one night
I threw away my innocence.

In one night
In the front seat of a care
I threw away everything
I'd been taught for years
For a boy I thought loved me
But in the end, used me.

In one night
I cried more than ever
In one night
I lay awake for hours
In one night
I hoped I didnt get pregnant.

In one night
I regretted my decision
Wishing I could undo the past
And the images forever in my mind
I fell for a guy who would never love me
In one night, I forgot who I used to be.

Thank You For The Thought

THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO MY 'DJ' BEST FRIEND


Thank you my friend for the text,
For asking me how I am today,
For telling me how things are there,
Thank you for the thought, my friend.

Thank you my friend for the text,
For asking about my plans for the occasion;
For asking for a little of my time so you can call,
My friend, Thank you for the thought.

Thank you my friend for the call,
For finding time to call me up;
For spending money to find out how I am,
Thank you for the thought my friend.

Thank you my friend for the forward mails
You so untiringly send when you think
They can make me smile and say a little prayer;
Thank you for the thought my friend.

Thank you my friend for the friendship,
For the patience to listen when I whine,
For the tolerance to my shortcomings,
For reminding me to always take care of myself,
Thank you for the thought my friend.

Time and Change

time and fate may separate friends and lovers
but friendship or love that's true will live forever
true love conquers all odds with patience
and hope keeps them alive forever
Grandma used to tell us all
things of this world will change with time
since all things have their turn to change
the sick has a time to heal
while the poor will come to wealth with time
in this world events change with the years
and the seasons will surely come and go
so everything has its time and day
so wait on time to begin a new day
to change the course of your life
for if you look around you
nothing in the universe is constant,
only true love is forever faithful

Happy Friendship Day,2011

Good friendship is important in earthly life
True friendship is a rare find, lasting a life-time
Friendship is supportive, wholesome and priceless
Friendship must grow but is difficult to keep.

Friendship affords joy, solace and distraction
Friendship gives a better meaning to life
Friendship may deliver what parents sometimes fail to
Friendship is valuable, useful and advantageous.

Friendship makes the world a better place to live
Friendship makes living worthwhile, loveable and liveable
Friendship creates the right environs for sharing
The basis of good friendship is selfless, dedicated love of a special kind.

Sunshine At Midnight

The boy was a senior, she was a sophomore.
Who would've thought.

That time of year again,
You know the time.

Girls buying dresses anticipating the night,
We all know the one.

Guys deciding who to ask and how,
All putting on a show.

He was a senior, she was a sophomore,
Who would've thought.

The beginning of more,
You know how the story goes.

Hour after hour of conversation and flirting,
How it always is.

Looking for innocent romance,
You know the kind.

He was a senior, she was a sophomore,
Who would've thought.

Until it came close to the end of the year,
What a dreadful time.

And something happened then,
A story rather untold.

Still, friendship remained,
After time, that is.

He was a senior, she was a sophomore,
Who would've thought.

Slowly their friendship mended and built up again,
The way it usually won't.

Conversations begin again, endless nights of words,
Memories replaying.

Even now, after everything, his sunshine at midnight,
Always will be.

He was a senior, she was a sophomore,
Who would've thought.

Now he's off at college and occasionally they speak,
Reconnecting conversations.

In times of need the other is there,
What's more to expect?

Words of encouragement and listening ears,
How it should be.

He was a senior, she was a sophomore,
Who would've thought.

Brought together at a random point in time,
You know the time.

He changed her life, even if she didn't change his,
Who's to say?

He entered her life and will always be there,
Like people do.

She hopes he thinks of her, remembers her, thinks of her the same,
You know how it is.

She writes these words of truth and remembrance,
Forever his Sunshine at Midnight.

Say A Prayer

(taylor dayne, shep pettibone, tony shimkin)
Say a little prayer for you
Say a little prayer for you
Well, I remember when
You were my only friend
You took the time
When on one else cared
You gave love endlessly
And then you proved to me
No matter what
Youd always be there
And now I understand
Just how lifes little plan
Can make it rough to say forever
But youve been there for me
So thats my guarantee
That we will always be together
When I have sleepless nights
Thats when you hold me tight
You do it right
I say a little prayer for you
And when my dreams are through
I only think of you
Cause you do it right
Ill say a little prayer for you
Weve had good times thats true
Weve had our bad times too
But through it all
It makes us stronger
Well have to build our trust
Because it means too much
To give away to any other
And now I understand
Just how lifes little plan
Can make it rough to say forever
But youve been there for me
So thats my guarantee
That we always be together
Chorus
I say a little prayer for you
Alright
Come on
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it
Alright
Say a prayer
Alright
Come on
Ill say a little prayer for you
Say it
Come on
Im prayin
Ill say a little payer for you
And now I understand
Just how lifes little plan
Can make it rough to say forever
But youve been there for me
So thats my guarantee
That we will always be together
I say a little prayer for you
I will
Say a little prayer for you
Chorus
So far away

My baby
My love

To you, my dear friend,

Friendship begins, and goes on forever,
Friend indeed don't put friend in mouth,
Just put in heart even five years no see,
Friend don't ask bagatelles,
Just wish everything goes well,
Friend don't disturb you,
Just give you the strength to go on,
Friend don't want got sth. from you,
Just love,

Friend always share the beauty of life,
Even more the hard time,
Friend goes together when the sun is shining,
Even more the raining day,
Friend pledge someday sth.,
Even more the actions,
Friend remember happy times past,
Even more now,
Friendship ends, and we pass away.

Friendship

Friendship

Friendship is love,
Without friendship love means nothing!
Without friendship love is empty…
Without friendship love is boring...!

Friendship means sharing…
People learn to share from friendship,
Share everything they have in life,

Friendship is like stars,
Even though we always see them together
Always mean to each other…
But,
Sometimes they argue!

Friendship is like flower,
Soft but strong!
Friendship is like sun,
Bright and beautiful!

Friendship is everything in life,
Life without friendship is like life without air…
Life without friendship is like eats without food
And
Life without friendship is like body without soul…

Friendship is wide!
Anybody can be our friend,
Our parents, our grandparents, our sister, our brother and even our school principal!

Friendship….
Is everything!

Eve

Detdicated to Eve Croft
May she Rest In Peace


It was over forty years ago
when I first met her.
I had barely left my teens.
She was older than me;
in fact, she was a friend’s mother.
Divorce had left her lonely
with three sons to bring up.
Life was not easy,
not much time to herself.
Slowly after meeting her,
a friendship between us grew.

To make her life sustainable
I took her out
from time to time.
We held hands at the pictures
and when we went anywhere.
She often worried
what people would think of me.
I didn’t really care what people thought.
Eve was a friend
and there was nothing more to be said.

For the next couple of years
our friendship never wavered.
We would hug and smile
whenever we did meet.
There was never any romance involved,
we were just very good friends.

I never forget when she had an offer
to move in with someone.
She was so worried
that I would think badly of her.
She was almost in tears
when she told me his proposition.
I put my arm around her shoulder
and reassured her it was all right.
That our friendship would never diminish
regardless what she did.

Sadly, her going away
was never meant to be.
She fell ill with cancer
and went to live with her sister
who would care for her.
It was the last time
I was ever to see her.

It was a few years later
I bumped into her eldest son.
When I asked him about his mum
he looked at me strangely
with tears holding back I his eyes.
She died I thought you knew.
I said that I didn’t.

He said he couldn’t stop
as he had a bus to catch,
and then he was gone.
With head bowed, I turned away
and started walking home.
Tears leaked from my eyes
making small lines across my cheeks.
My regret then and will always be
that I never had a chance
to say a proper goodbye.

Sonnet: A Lost Friendship

You were my friend then: now almost stranger!
Our friendship appeared once very glorious;
What happened meantime, gives me great anger;
Our friendship no longer remains serious.

Fool you were, to be misled by others,
Who drove a giant wedge ’midst our friendship;
Cut off is our friendship, which me bothers;
A nadir has come in our relationship.

What years of intimacy have been lost?
You’ve been foolish, very much on your part;
Our friendship today is just but a ghost;
Won’t your eyes see the true love in my heart?

Dear friend however, you can’t be my foe;
I hope that our friendship, blossoms once more!

A prayer to G-d for my children and family

About the prayer

Pray to a stone with faith.
You are healed.
Pray to God with greed.
You are nowhere.
Cure lies in prayer.
Addressee is immaterial.
In prayer, your system
Is cleansed, relaxed and energized.
Prayer is absence of wandering.
