An Education
What I had for you was admiration
What I gave you was respect
What I made you was my mentor
What I felt for you were the best of feelings
What I got back was the worst insult of my lifetime
Too painful to hear
Too bitter to swallow
Poisoning my good heart
The biggest regret to be optimistic
And trust easily not able to accept
An education only a person like you can give

Trust
After all I been through with you
I lost
Trust
In people, my family, and myself
I feel so afraid
I can't tell people the truth about anything
I'm hiding in my shell for safety
There are good people you can
Trust
There are people you can't
Trust
People you hang with is who you can
Trust
There are other people not in your group you can't
You share secrets, replied on that person and won't backstab you is people you can
Trust
Eventually they do it without you knowing
Trust
I feel like deep in my heart I lost my
Trust
I hide everything and give simple answers that is not truth
To those people and the one I love
I can't even share what I really think to them
I have the
Trust
In myself to know better
After two days ago I realized I can trust people
I need to give them one more chance
I can be me still and be strong person
Trust
Is what I need to get back in guys too because
I want to date and see what happen
I'm not holding back
I just need to give guys chances
It's right to do and experience
I won't forget, or regret anymore, or cry about it
Trust
Is what I'm trying to get back and I be ok one day
I won't take guy I like for granted or people I like
Trust

I am sorry
'It could break easily, be very careful.
If its broken, you can't fix it, it won't fix
In case you're wondering
What I'm giving you
Something very sensual, and beautiful
Its my heart
Vulnerable and incredible.
I trust you, so keep it safe and warm'
She uttered these lines,
and what did I gave her?
*pain and painful nightmares*
I delivered some heartbreaking moments,
Unacceptable and undigestable for her.
Initially, I was proud and felt sorry for nothing.
But as I think about my past.
as I write this,
I wont bash about my love,
I just need you to forgive me.
I regret hurting a true soul.
and all I need is respect and friendship.
Would it be a wise thing to apologise
as far as I know,
It was my fault.
I accept my flaw.
I went against the law of love.
I am sorry,
sorry for being immature,
sorry for having a heartless behavior.
We are all one in this world
And our experience is ours
but i was not able to understand
What was going on?
so come back. lets scatter our differences.
as we met again maybe for the last time.
And as you walked away from me
I saw your shoulders sigh
I saw you lift your gentle hand
To wipe your weeping eye
I walked up there behind you
Felt love deep inside
You felt my hand touch your shoulder
As you cried
'I'm sorry...' was all I could say
You turned to look at me
I couldn't utter a word.
I was ashamed, words couldn't come out.
I could see a sparkling tear in my eye.
it said few words, in the moment of silence.
I bare my soul and my life to you.
To say sorry for my decisions and immaturity
I have no excuses and hide no more
All I can offer is my blood for friendship.
lets be friends!

4 Respect Peom I Made
1.) respect count as a word
regret as another
you get what i mean
respect all you gain from others
and if you regret you totally forget.
2.) respect ain't no joke
when is was getting wrote
when is was done is was publish on the road
when is was on the road
people took it away and they hosted it, posted it, tossed it and then
finally they spoke it.
3.) respect me padre cinco madre
respect me time ocho while i count up to doso
respect me with action
and i give you reaction.
4.) Respect your elders all if they deserve;
Respect your servants who will serve;
Respect your father for tilling the soil;
Respect your mother for her love and toil.
Respect all teachers who gave you knowledge;
respect your parent who will pay for your collage
Respect your friend who saved you from the ledge;
but don't forget to respect yourself for a good effect.

In This Lifetime
All things one will receive,
In this lifetime.
Will come.
To leave.
In this lifetime.
That which is believed,
In this lifetime.
Will change as one grows.
To learn, accept and come to know.
In this lifetime.
With trust there is happiness.
If kept.
Much is tested to address...
Each season manifested.
Reasons we all share,
To compare if something in life is missed.
Makes us seek pieces to complete...
With a snug fit.
In this lifetime.
And in this lifetime,
All that is received...
Leaves.
With air that is free to breathe.
That seems not to be an option,
In this lifetime of teased choices made to choose.

Hurts Dont It
(greg holland/jim mcbride)
Youve got a lot of nerve comin here tonight
But thats alright come on in
That look tells me that somethings hurt you deep
And you want me back again
Now you dont have to tell me how it feels
There aint nothin about lonesome I dont know
And wakin up alones a bitter pill
You take one every day and swallow slow
I wish I could help you but my heart tells me not to
It still aint found the trust you threw away
So you cant have it back no matter how bad you want it
Hurts dont it
It hurts dont it
I think you should know its all I can do
To look at you and not give in
I wish you hadnt made forgiving you so hard
On my heart but you did
Now you dont have to tell me how it feels
There aint nothin about lonesome I dont know
And wakin up alones a bitter pill
You take one every day and swallow slow
I wish I could help you but my heart tells me not to
It still aint found the trust you threw away
So you cant have it back no matter how bad you want it
Hurts dont it
It hurts dont it

The Children Are The Future Of Humanity
The children are the future of Humanity so teach the children well
And as their teacher your knowledge of Life and Nature to them you ought to tell
And teach them to respect our Mother Earth the one who feeds us all
And in years from now to you they will be grateful when memories of you they will recall.
The children are the future of Humanity but for guidance on you they do depend
They need you as a mentor and they need you as a friend
Children are innocent and easily led astray good role models they do need
That you have been chosen as their mentor to you is a great honour indeed.
Children who do not have good role models in life are easily led astray
That they do not receive a fair go does seem so sad to say
Far too many young children become victims of abuse
For wronging children in any way there cannot be an excuse.
As the teacher of the children you've been chosen for to lead
And though of good mentors and teachers we seldom hear about or read
That you do your best as a teacher for you enough of success
To young people that you mentor you bring hope and happiness.

A Sunday to Remember
This particular day was like every other,
A suit and tie, ready for my spiritual meal
But little did I know, what lay in store from this brother
I take my seat and listen to the talk-the normal deal
As it progresses this information is at its worst amazing
I'm understanding, looking up scriptures and enjoying it
The brother on the stage is enthusiastic and pleasing
The fact that all cannot hear it is my only regret
But then the brother begins to relate an experience
I begin to detect a change in his voice as he continues
The brother gets choked up by the sentiments,
And at the end of the discourse he grabs some tissues
Do you understand what that did to me?
I didn't cry when my grand mother died
But my eyes began to get teary
I felt the hard outer layer of my heart melt away inside
I felt, understood, envied, and appreciated why he got that way
Even as I recount this the tears start to flow again
This brother was happy, is truly happy each day,
Happiness and joy from his service that tears he began shedding
Just the fact in front of us all he showed a piece of his heart,
In that he let the joy and appreciation he felt in his heart spill over in tears
That gave me a feeling that there can be light from the dark
Also it made me think about all those wasted years
Maybe envious is the wrong because I desire his level of joy for us both
I guess jealous is more appropriate
We both took the same oath
I'm not happy like him, the reasons? I'd rather not say it
His tearing up on the stage reminded me of how I once felt,
And how I yearn to feel
This bad hand I got, I shuffled and dealt
My feelings of needed change are to real
To this brother I give thanks
The faithful slave I give thanks
But to my God I sincerely apologize

The Real Special Person
honour is feeling you are special
because you have made others
feel good about being themselves
they cannot but turn back to tell you
that you are so special a person
the real special person is one who
wins that admiration from the heart of friends
not through any hint of force, superiority
or indebtedness

My Younger Brother
My brother you always care for my feelings for me you are always there
I remember how you assisted me in difficult times I never had to fear
You are always there I have never felt lonely, Whether it was day or night
You supported me when I was alone at times when others used to fight.
I thank the God up there, who gave me a supportive brother like you,
Nicest person of the world what more can I ask for, There is no one like you.
You have been a real good brother giving me respect these years
I have scarcity of words but in my whole memories my eyes are not with tears
You are miles apart now but you will always be in my heart
I always think of you my dear brother although we are far apart

Full marks
Full marks
She looked desperately in my eyes
Read all my feelings but did not try
How badly she had felt about my behavior!
She was not asking or expecting for
I saw her laden with worries
But she was resolute and firm to carry
There was no regret for her love
She was firm like rock and simply drove
She did not look back to see me
As if she was relieved and felt free
It might have been severe blow
As she was not at all prepared to go
If relation is considered as burden
Its break comes unexpected and all of sudden
No one is prepared to share the blame
Become adamant and accept as and when came
I saw her going away with determined will
She was made from simple clay but still!
She was not prepared to bargain for self respect
She was master of her own destiny and act
I saw no regret whatsoever on her face
She had enough from my blind chase
She in fact readily agreed for everything
I was for more asked unusually something
This compelled to think afresh
She decided not make any rash
Move which may ruin her carrier
Prove as hurdle and stiff barrier
I may not blame her for my part
I was nervous and had unsteady start
I cared for nothing and demanded support
This way the ship was not going to reach at the port
Internally I cursed self but gave full marks
She was not meant for me to provide any spark
As I was dead horse and useless for any responsibility
Not only I lacked sincerity but demonstrated poor quality

Bud Tingwell
Bud Tingwell he did have a lengthy life span
And he was a good actor and quite a good man
A famous Australian who was known Worldwide
One could only feel sad to hear that he had died
In his life so many friends the great man made
And widespread respect to him in his passing deservedly paid
A great mentor to aspiring young actors in his long acting career
To so many film buffs himself he did endear
At living a good life one who did succeed
One by good example who always did lead
A man who has been honoured in story and rhyme
His name will live on through the annals of time
For him his separation from life was a painful release
Bud Tingwell the great man may he rest in peace

Sonnet: Respect
Respect your elders all if they deserve;
Respect your servants too who you well serve;
Respect your father for tilling the soil;
Respect your mother for her love and toil.
Respect all teachers who gave you knowledge;
Respect your friend who saved you from the ledge;
Respect all good minds who advised you good;
Respect the man of God who gave soul’s food.
Respect all strangers who were all Godsends;
Respect your foes who taught you self-defense;
Respect those evil men who you troubled;
Respect the tempter who well you misled.
Respect your conscience which tells you what’s right;
Respect your God who is your Friend and Guide.

Why Trust You
You come on strong with a great
Big smile
But your teeth are as sharp as a
Crocodile
You promised me the moon and
The stars and the sun
But you never did nothin for
Anyone
Cant look me in the face or
Straight in the eye
Id buy the movie rights to your
Alibi
I wonder how long you will go
I wonder how high your head will
Blow
Youre a psychopathic liar
Your soul is on fire
Youre bluffin with nuthin
While the stakes are gettin higher
Why trust you
You never made a dream come
True
Why trust you
Give me one good reason, one
Good reason why
You come to me all teary-eyed
With your big tall tale way up in
The sky
Begging on your knees for
Another chance
But everybody knows thats a
Song and a dance
There used to be a time when you
Were the best
You had the fastest tongue in the
West
Ya gave a look and a line like
Nobody else
Youd try to sell the Bible to the
Devil, himself
You sadistic little liar
Youre walkin on the wire
Youre bluffin up with nothin
And the bills are gettin higher
Why trust you
Give me one good reason, one
Good reason why
Trust you
The noose is getting tighter
Your face is turning whiter
You can stuff it up your muffin
And go stick it in the fire
Why trust you
You never made a dream come
True
Why trust you, give me one good
Reason, one good reason
Why trust you, you never made a
Dream come true
Why trust you, give me one good
Reason, one good reason
Why trust you, why trust you
Why trust you, why trust you
Why trust you

The Many Good and Bad Things
The most beautiful day, day of today!
The biggest obstacle, the fear to take risk!
The easiest thing, fail always!
The biggest mistake, give up easily!
The worst feeling, bad Karma!
More bad feeling, the sins I committed!
The best feeling, good Karma!
The best gift, God loves me!
The greatest strength, Have faith in God!
The greatest thing in the world, love everyone.
The greatest news, God Have Mercy
The greatest survival, We are safe from Evil.
These and That's All
The Many Good and Bad Things

Trust:
Trust is a feeling within your heart,
As soon as its broken, it tears you apart.
That trust no longer exists within your heart,
But the feelings within you will never part.
you may despise, what has happened in the past,
But life is to short to let that hate last.
so trust your feelings, let that pain pass,
for the person you trust may be your last.

What is happening?
why does it feel like people starting to lie?
why can't you be up front,
even when you know it might be painful,
i perfer the truth over a lie any day,
don't lie to hide the truth,
cuz at the end of the day,
it will shine through,
don't be somebody i don't reconize,
be somebody i already know,
what is there to hide,
when i seen it all,
good and bad,
i seen it all,
unless it goes deeper than i already know,
quit hiding from me,
we suppose to be family,
why the secretcy all of a sudden,
nobody life is perfect,
we use to be close,
and now i feel apart,
you turn on me for looking in the past,
what is it that you don't like about it,
what do you wish you would of done,
that you now regret?
knowing you could of been happier,
rather than feeling like a prisoner,
being hold back from what you want to do,
because somebody can't accept the change,
you can always do better,
why settle for where you at?
if all they do is hold you down,
is that really what you need right now,
you capable to soo much more,
don't cut yourself short,
you have a lot more to give,
to somebody who would give it back,
not take, take, take.

Respect Parents.......
RESPECT YOUR MOM AND DAD;
IF NOT, THEN YOUR FUTURE WILL BE BAD.
AND YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN SAD.
YOU GIVE RESPECT, THEY WILL GIVE YOU BLESSINGS;
AND YOU WILL BECOME THE KING.
THIS IS THE FACT;
NOW, IF YOU WILL NEGLECT;
AND DON'T GIVE THEM RESPECT;
THEN AFTER SOME TIME YOU WILL REGRET.
THEY CAN BE YOUNG OR OLD;
AND THEY ALWAYS CARRY YOUR LOAD.
SO, WE SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT
THEY ARE OUR SECOND GOD.
YOU CAN BE SIKH, HINDU, MUSLIM OR JAIN;
FIRSTLY YOU SHOULD BE A GOOD MAN.

You Were
You were the person I think of,
When I wanted to give up.
You were the person I think of,
When my life was getting rough.
Though you were always there,
When I needed somebody to care.
Never giving up,
When days were tough.
You always spoke from the heart,
Just to say how you felt.
Made me realize I could do more,
To change my ways in living.
You gave me the stenght to be,
The person I am,
Not a day go by that I wondered,
If you be there for me,
I always knew in my heart,
That you be there,
To help me through with life,
I'm so thankful to have you in my life,
I still don't know what I would of done,
Without your love and support,
You showed me that it okay to be me,
At times when I didn't care,
You always gave me reasons to,
Nothing have been the same ever since,
Mainly because I'm a new girl,
I know my mom would be proud,
Of what i've became,
But most of all she would be thankful,
Of what you have done,
To help her little girl through,
All of the hurt and pain,
That came along with giving her up.
