CHRISTMAS

Christ is the name we know
He was of extraordinary birth
Right from the time of creation till now
In the beginning, He was King of kings from birth
Still He remains our Lord of lords
Till His second coming, the earth accords
May we keep in wait with faith
As the good books has saith
Singing praises to His coming

THOSE MOMENTS

I miss those moments 
when I walked to school all alone 
Yet happy in my mind's eye
I miss those moments 
when no one would sit by me
And I enjoyed the air around

I miss those moments 
When no one smiled at me 
Yet had the biggest grin on my face
I miss those moments 
When I was a 'tomboy' 
Yet admired the most

I miss those moments 
When I had no friend 
Yet everyone loved me
I miss those moments 
When I would never speak 
Yet my voice echoed

I miss those moments
That made me look weird 
Yet the best of times
I miss those moments 
When I was alone 
Yet with joy and peace

I miss those moments
That I miss made me 
Me known by me alone

NAADENSUA

New as a friend you are to me
Asks my mind who you will be
And when you put up that smile
Dreams of hope I see in a mile
Every chat is a discovery
Never ending friendships mystery
Searching to find that which you will be
Unveils who you are to me
As the best friend you ought to be

I'M FREE

Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard Him call,

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Task left undone must stay that way,

I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembering joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

But be not burdened with times of sorrow,

For I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full. I've savoured much,

Good friends, good times and loved ones' touch.

Perhaps my times seemed all too brief,

Don't lengthen it now undue grief.

Lift up your eyes and share with me.

God wanted me now. He set me free.

NATURE

Look up at nature

As looking at a picture

Birds in the sky flying

Joining their voices singing

Children on the playground

Playing here and all around

The sight of nature

Draws a beautiful picture

THE PROWLER

Devoted before the pulpit a priest

But strange and haunted a beast

Sneaker in the middle of the night

But never seen as the sun so bright

Strange minded so secretive

But a pretender so protective

Intruding to kill the innocent

The loving or benevolent

The world to it a shoulder

But strange an evil prowler

THE NEGATIVE THEORY

Views are not accepted

Lives are not protected

Solutions are not drawn

Intelligent minds seem dawn

Answers are rejected

Ambitions are regretted

Attitudes seem odd

Turning as a gourd

Positive turns negative

Recessive but not protective

Darkness falls into light

Bringing sadness be it night

For as time goes by

It shall be good bye

NECESSITY

At the age of five

When I saw all things clearly

And happy children moved by fives

Poor Vivian hid herself shyly

At the age of eleven

While Vivian woke up early

Preparing to go hawking

Neighbouring children prepare for church

And places of interest

When children nicely dressed

In the company of their parents

Leave home in their luxury cars

See Vivian and buy from her

Tears roll down her cheeks

With dirty dress and dusty foot

So tired by long walks

With heavy eyes and slumbering

Puts down the pie tray

To find a place to rest

When shall I overcome

Walking in the scorching sun

Running for shelter during stormy weather

All because of necessity

MOTHERS LOVE LAST

My mother

Outstanding you have shown

Through the sweet scented geisha soap

How caring you have been to me

Every day from my infancy

Real love lasting like geisha soap

Smell all around when with you

Love that lasts forever

Only shown by you mother

Verily just like geisha soap

Enhances me to love you more

Loving mother you are

Affectionate and kind to me

Sweet scents from geisha soap

Travels with me like your love

ALISON ROADBURG

All it takes to be you

Lies in the things you do

In keeping to your dream

So your face will beam

Of what you mean to do

Needs not to have a clue

Reminding you of what to

Opt always for the best

As never may be a rest                                

Dreaming to shine in all

Bringing joy to faces of all

Under the stormy could

Rainfall is ever bound

Got you all there is to be found

LOVE IS?

It is fire, it burns

It is emotion, it yearns

It is wind, it blows

It is light, it glows

It is shrill, it trills

It is precious, it kills

It entertains, it is priceless

It is worth, it values

It is pleasure, it comforts

It torments, it tortures

It is a tale, it fails

It amuses, it wails

It is joy, it is sadness

It convicts, it is a witness

It is pain, it gains

MY NIGHTINGALE

Florence my nightingale

The lady with the lamp

Your words do dingle

Even to the dump

Your beauty stops sorrow

For you are missed tomorrow

It is a wish to kiss you

And show that love for you

For us the church bells dingle

Its you are my nightingale

TODAY’S WISH

Today I would have held your hand tight and feel your softness so

Today I would have hugged you and never let go

Today I would have looked into your eyes like never before

Today I would have you kissed you and asked for more

Today I would have been naked like the world is only us

Today I would have clinged to you to never part us

Today I would have surrender my love to you

Today It would have been forever me and you

Today I would have been by you so wet

Today I would have been as my dream felt

Today I would have asked for a wish that is you.

Today It would have been me and you.

HOPE

When the dawn breaks, it is with hope

When the sun comes up, it is with hope

When the sun goes down, it is with hope

When it nears dusk, it is with hope

When clouds form, it is with hope

When the rain drops, it is with hope

When a flower grows, it is with hope

When a fruit ripens, it is with hope

When we find love, it is with hope

When we lose love, it is with hope

When one is born, it is with hope

When one from us departs, it is with hope

When in every experience change, it is with hope

When life’s reality comes, it is with hope

When in living a hopeful life, it is with hope.

When hoping hopes, it is with hope.
