Journey with an old friend

Glimpses of you caught over many years
And then across the street, a slow hand waived
Smiles across the streets collide
Set the day, new friendship stride

An Easter greet remembered, and then a fashion statement
An unambitious ask, how long before over coffee we talk
Sitting in a care center, a long day it had been
Good company I sought, my offer you took up keen.

Over cups of hot steam and brew
Exchanged innocent smiles, the comfort grew
The kept file, came out in the open
An unimagined moment there before you

Bundles of laughter settled our ways
Thru movies, dinners, coffees thereafter
Of crashes on roads, and bandaging long drives
Watching stars on terrace tanks high

Companionship of morning walks,
Tips of healthier, exercise talks
Loads of passion in you I seen,
What set out to achieve, unrested till brought in

Eager a person, lend out a helping hand
In all your days ahead, life surround you with many a friend
There be all times for you to laugh out loud
Success uniquely favor you amidst the crowd

Your bold claims, I sure know how to make an impression
All your madness and you, a smiling addiction
Comrade not alone in matters as these
Long days will go by, forgetting me wont be as ease

You’ll be remembered for your many surprises
The efforts taken to keep smiles going in all places
Of arms that held close and strong
When the day that had been, seemed all so wrong

Taught and have learnt, in this 2010
The months they have become memories
We sat down took a little time to pen
Perhaps read as the clock ticks, slowly reminiscence cease
So much to say of the many hours
Gripped by time and distance parts
For the road ahead, may blessings pour
Achieve your dreams, triumph define you,

A defined person, a mark you create
I pray ahead of time, humility be your friend
Your trust place in Him, He be with you every corner, every bend
Be the man He has called, called you to be.

Onward you go, fare-well I bid

I played the puppy

I played the puppy

I watched through the French windows

The little ball of fur she rolled over in glee

She waited her master to arrive

Her brown puppy eyes now turning to plea

She had been waiting now, a long while to come

She had met in the past, a lot of deprive

He walked in casual, as ever as he

She did the flip, pure joy as joy can be

T ’was amazing to see how in love was she

A dog to her master, that’s all she would ever be

Happy to cuddle up drop in to his lap

Happy to stay put, allow the ruffle in her fur

Turn up her head, a generous lick upon his face

Her puppy nozzle a cold trail she leaves

Gladly she’ll give all that he could ask

Yet, what could a puppy give, to love her back

Alas, a moment does not last a moment longer

Came in this beautiful lady, fair white and all

Shrugged off the puppy, cuteness, her head and heart

Desperate she tried, maybe a trick would retain

A little while longer, see! I can stand on two feet

Paused for a fleeting one, he flashed a look,

Little puppy, I am amused, but you’re not worth a bit

Turned around, followed the white one

Little puppy it’s a world entertained full of con

Don’t let your furry bounce be bothered

Your puppy brown eyes let not a tear run

It is as it is, life has it ways, destiny you won

Dialogue in the Dark

This is my world, and all the colors within

My mind gropes through her imagination seen

I’m surrounded by hues, I reach out to feel

Their radiant auras, they are so real

The sidewalks tell me, places I have to go

The wind she beckons, calling thru her soft blows

The chaos of city traffic, will it ever cease

The want to get away, I hide in the darkness, find me please

The trot over, I cross the other side of the bridge

I take in the chirpings, all in the moment seize

The gently lullaby of the boat that rocks

Savored memories, anchor them to my minds dock

My touch she tells me, so alive & green

The felt freshness, a picturesque sheen

The tastes of not knowing what you have had

The joy of sweet aromas, thru your senses clad

They say my world is all devoid of color

But how would they know

Have they experienced all I see, hour after hour

The spray of gentle waters, they show me much more

Have you gazed into my world, in all its beautiful awe

Do your eyes restrain you, by only that, that you see

I open doors for you, beyond the see of nature’s law

My blindness has not bound me, its expressions have set me free

Your Love has kept me

When the day wears on, disturbed emotions it brings

When time trickles in, the cords of melancholy it sings

When the seconds become heavier, as the moment it passes

When life mocks you, its endless farces

A troubled spirit, a journey down trodden

Fate has it, it seems, all misfortune begotten

Tears roll down, your forever companion,

A lonely one, a lonely daughter of Zion

Temptation prowls on, its pleasures so fair

Sin dances her finest, twirls a beguiling lair

Chanting in melody, charming seduction

O’ to give in, fall into her slow persuasion

A suffocated body, emotions welled up

Desperate to break free, give up this cup

Tear down my mind, body and soul

I am before Thee, a drained out begging bowl

Gentle a glance, gaze down upon me

Withered am I, unheard moan, a distressed plea

Tears no more, there’s only so much

Your Word, Your promise, a feeble hand efforts to touch

Sent down Your angels, in tender care lifted me

Gathered together, placed safely in the bosom of Thee

Sight the Cross, pinned to it all my sin, grief and cry

The world’s was taken over, what was I?

His miracle He calls, If you were the only one

On the rough tree, I’d do for you, all that was done

Long before time began, I have loved you dear

Borne within Myself, I have cried your every tear

Your love for me is eternal, more than my life can behold

Your moments planned for me, in Your likeness to mould

Sheltered and protected, from life’s trial & strife

Your promise never to forsake, Your love has kept me.

The best sweethearts

I should wonder, and stop before I start

But then again, why again, I’ve had the best sweethearts

Should I shy before I begin

Curl the smile, give way, the slow dimpled grin

I’ve been the most fortunate.. oh wait

Perhaps more have they been, (I chuckle)

I watch you happy, flowing on guided by beautiful fate

I’ve prayed nothing less, in your life blessings sparkle

Amazing two, cherished relationships so few,

Was I fortunate to have the ‘bestest’ of loves

A rose petal kissed by soft, early morning dew

No endings perched in a ring, turtle doves

We’ve turned backed looked at images drawn in sands

We’ve smiled as the waves reached over

Took away time from our joined hands

Linger & cherish, the extra moment… we hover

Hearts of gold, He made them, dearer He holds

An upset me, over again, Father a story of old

I’ll question You, for what reason & need

Planted each time, new blooms from a love seed

How can you be, all in one, the most wonderful

The Master favored you, set you apart

And to Him I’m ever grateful,

Let you steal my heart

Au Revoir GE

A journey called GE, a decade it has been

A pathway of opportunities, sometimes thru thick & lean

A mountain of learning’s I’ve enveloped within me close

I walk into a new world, as GE can I pose?

I pray I’ll do justice, for all it has taught,

I’ll look for the comfort, the years had brought

Then I gaze at new horizons, confident as can be,

Over my shoulder, are the years of you GE

My leaders, mentors, managers & guides

In your many teachings security, surely I stride

You’ve let me be, sometimes error and fall

Yet knowing your there, allowed me to face it all

My teams, my friends, my cherished few

Added all to life’s beauty colors & hue

Life’s choicest God has blessed me with

In these beautiful years, He has let me, you meet

I embark a journey, of the other side green

My memories are mine, cocooned within

Shaped & molded, I am for the world to see

Many a credit given, to a place called GE

I bid fare-well, it’s a hard bye to say

If I’ve hurt you, then do forgive I pray

God’s will manifest in all you do

Shine as diamonds, as He has planned for you
