He teaches me to feel

A moment of silence
For the dead birdie lying by the roadside
How is it my heart went out to it
When so many others just do not care

An emotive moment
As an old lady hobbled by
I wondered why she was left filthy and all alone

God has his reasons for making things happen
All the things that I see He teaches me to feel

Because He said 'Let there be light'..

Children frolick in the sun
Everyone is having fun
Elderly couples hold their hands
As they stroll along the sand

We see the beauty of life
All thanks to God

Because He said
'Let there be light'

Courage

Courage are the wings of dreams
It flashes brightly and it gleams
Courage gives its power to love
It comes to you like the wings of a dove

Courage is a quality
It is a source of vitality
With courage there is no finality
Nor does it require practicality

Do you have the courage to love?
If you don't your dreams will always be dreams
Do you have the courage to wait?
If you don't then you are not in love

Have you forgotten?

Do you ever wake up in the morning

To the chirping of birds in the trees
Have you ever sat through the night
Lulled by the song of the breeze

The simple pleasures of life
Seem to be forgotten with age
As we fight for our bread and life
And leave our God behind

But He still weaves his magic
His wondrous tapestry
Of miraculous hope and
Friendship, love and dreams

God is merciful
Rich in love
Slow to anger
He is waiting for you

To turn back
His welcoming arms
Beckons you
Have you forgotten?

Sitting here, sigh..

With carefree birds and the great outdoors
Of pristine beaches and splendid shores
Untroubled undisturbed unruffled guarantee
My heart does want so much to be free

Yet as much as the wondrous nature beckons
Responsibilities in life are present at every second
Family and friends and God's call
For us to spread His word to all

Time is running out minutes tick by
I simply should not sit here and sigh
But the first thing I should do I know
Is to get to church on time tomorrow

You are all I need

Wisdom in words
You reach out to me
Poetry in motion
I know your story

It's never too late
You've called out to me
Now I know the truth
I've found eternity

Seeking silently
Love eventually
Take me to your sanctuary
You are all I need

Faith comes when you seek
You have given me
Endless possibilities
In you I am complete

Mongolian dream

Subtle beat of an ethnic heart
I fell in love there
Overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions
Riches in crimson, gold and green

I lost my heart
To the Mongolian dream

Tranquility

Wings of darkness come to me
Grant me this tranquility
As I walk along this shore
Let me see Heaven's galore
Of starry riddles in the air
And shiny pieces of dreams up there

Such a lovely night like this
Let my spirit frolick with ease
In this dark tranquility
Joy and hope and peace within
My heart sings a tuneless melody
Telling a surreal love story
In this night of tranquility
Shall I tell him thatI'm waiting for him?

Quietly I sit here and sigh
Such is the beauty of the night
My heart feels like its old and tired
Might be the tranquil setting painted by night
Timeless, blameless, shameless thoughts
Fleet by astoundingly as I realise
Having sat down here throughout the night
Tranquility pulled me to greater heights!

Softer The Touch

Softer the touch as the rainbow glow
Across the angered seaS
ofter the touch as the sunrays show
So that kids could play and be free

Softer the touch
God's way of comfort
Softer the touch
God's answer to our prayers

Softer the touch
My heart's desire
Softer the touch
My faith's inspired

Melt into harmonious ripples

Lavender Dream

Lavender dream
Release from reality
Passing pastel shadows
Alluring exultive scent

Elusive spirited illusion
Reminiscing hopes
And lavender dream
All tension unwind

Drift into lavender dream
Reunite our senses
Replay our magical encounter
Surrounded by intoxicating fumes
