Treasures....

It's so hard to find the perfect breeze,
One blowing none too hard nor soft,
Carrying a scent of wild flowers,
And moving clouds about aloft.

It's so hard to find the perfect sky,
One blue and deep and bright,
Carrying a sense of openness
With sea gulls n albatross in flight.

It's so hard to find the perfect night,
One warm, quiet and unflawed,
Carrying a mood of solitude,
And a closeness to our God.

Yet no perfection's so hard to find
As that which you extend
And none I'll ever treasure more,
Than to simply be your friend.

School Day...

You’re still half asleep; your homework’s half done...
Your shower is cold; your breakfast's dry...
Your mother forgets to kiss you good-bye...
You’re walking to school; it’s thirty degrees...
Your fingers won’t work; your toes and ears freeze...
Your zipper is stuck; your left shoe squeaks...
Your backpack strap snaps; your water bottle leaks...
You slip on school steps; you trip in the corridor...
The games room is locked; library’s the same...
The principal greets you by the wrong name...
Your classroom is hot; the power's gone...
Your pencils are dull; the sharpener jams...
Your fingers get crunched while closing your box...
Your partner’s missing; your neighbor is rude...
Your teacher’s again in a crabby mood...
The morning bell rings; it is 8:31...
Come clear the blackboard,
Another school day’s begun.

Freind!!

Growing pains..
Broken chains..
Falling tears..
Listening ears..
Reaching out..
Sharing doubt..
Hands to clutch..
Gentle touch..
Spoken words..
Softly heard..
Holding tight..
Guiding light..
That's my friend..
But not in my end.....

Tear Shed

I shed a tear today...
Silently, I felt it fall
You caught it
shared it
held it
felt it
then suddenly
it wasn't
so big after all........

Deceive!!

You smiled, you spoke, and I believed,
By every word and smile deceived...
Another man would hope no more...
Nor hope what I hoped before...
But let not this last wish go in vain...
Deceive, deceive me once again!!!
