To : A Friend

When I first set my eyes on you
I found you to be warm and true
No longer do I feel blue
For everyone feels comfortable with you

You were the first to talk to me
and you introduced our classmates slowly
You were not shy around anybody
how I admire you really

You included me in all the talks
you tried to help me feel at ease
You gave me constant support
I needn't pay any fees

But as time goes by
our friendship was on the rocks
I'm sorry we had to cross that line
it seems we would never reach the docks

However, as most people do say
time will heal
You messaged me the following day
and asked me out for a meal

And so, we talked over lunch
we patched things up
As we talked, we munched,
we called this a truce

And so, all's well that ends well
I hope our friendship do last
As the waiter rings the bell
lunch hour has passed

Time Long Past

Everything about you was perfect
But now, all I feel is regret
How did I let you slip away?
Why did I reject your love that day?
Now, as I hear you talk about your crush
I feel my heart's being pierced into dust
I'm filled with envy for the girl
I only pray she cherishes what
you have done for her
If I could turn back time
I would accept your love without a dime
But now, it's too late
If it's meant to be
We would be together someday

Thank You

Thank you for listening to me
when I am sad

Thank you for being there for me
when I feel bad

Thank you for cheering me up
when I am down

Its as if my world is dark
without you around

Thank you for the advice and concern
you've given to me

Thank you for being my friend
and is always there standing so tall

Poem Of A Family

Once there was a happy family
who was happy no matter their status quo
Who had fun whenever they went
the little gal was still young then

She was pretty full of life and all
being an only child, enjoying all she's got
But then her father took the first fall
and suddenly, all their lives turned to naught

That was a time of difficulty
a time of pain and suffering
And along then came a friend
who promised to make it all better

The father started work in his friend's company
though totally new in this line
He learnt everything about what's to be
and he slowly made his way up

Soon this family was up on the ladder again
and the girl had a little sister
Who was the cutest thing anyone had known
and everybody loved

Life was going smoothly and wonderfully
it all seems too good to be true
This is like a dream come true
For the father and his family

Little did they know of the disaster
of what has yet to come
For this friend betrayed him
and forced him to leave the company

For a while, the father tried to accept things
to make everything right
For he still have a family to support
he cannot give up without a fight

But as despair set in
for finances were running low
The father grew despondent
unlike the person whom he really was

He tried getting a job
but nothing worked
He tried building his own business
but without capital, all is pretty much useless

In the end,
he had to sell away the car
That was the last link;
to sever him from his friend

With the last link gone
it seems all is gone
The father is feeling worse than before
but he is yet relieved as well

The father has been praying hard
hoping to make everything right like before
However, there has been no answer
and he doesn't know what to do

Will there be a miracle?
For this is what the family has been hoping for
Will God finally answer their prayers?
Time will eventually reveal!

Mother Theresa

Mother Theresa wanted to share
God's all abiding love and care
She knew there would be a way to let these feelings show
And she wanted everyone to know
So, she hugs whenever she goes
And urged people to do their part
To warm another's heart
A circle of her open arms
To hold in love and keep out harm
She helped the needy and the sick
And gave them love as well as their daily needs
Pitying the dying and homeless
She built a home
To bandage the abandoned and swath the alone
Now that she is gone
Many of us are torn
May we remember her forever
And forget her never

Just Remember

When all is down and hopeless,
andyou don't know who to turn to for help
When you need a helping hand,
whenyou feel your life's a total mess

When the world seems dark, without light,
andyou wish there would be one, to
Guide you out of the darkness
Just remember that I will always be here...

When you are miserable, unhappy or sad,
when you feel there's no meaning in life
When all you wanted was to find THAT someone to talk to
Just remember that I'll always be here...

When life's like a merry-go-round
threatening to throw you off-course
When life's like the spattering raindrops
which comes more often every now and then

When you feel the future is bleak,
& itis impossible to continue
the path down the road
Just remember that I'll always be here...

In The Dark

Alone in the dark I stare
a life of misery I see
Wadding alone in the tunnel
there's no light

Only the deafening silence
and then I fell
I fell down hard, into the murky waters
my imagination ran wild

There seems to be numerous hands
They are pulling me down
I can't breathe, it's suffocating
Then someone pulled me up

Away from the murderous hands
Fresh Air! What a refreshing experience!
I could see a faint of light;
I scrambled immediately

But the light seems to be getting further
away from me
I shouted, the echo followed suit
But there's no one, no one to hear my pleas, my cries,
I feel so lonely and in despair

Help me... help me... someone please...

A Sad Thing In Life

A sad thing in life is when you find
that the person closest to you
has betrayed you
You feel hurt, betrayed and used

A sad thing in life is when you find
you have lost a precious gift
You feel like you have lost that
beautiful piece of matter you hold dearly

A sad thing in life could be you
found someone close to you hath died
You feel as if a part of you
had been torn away

People come, people go
Memories stay, memories fade

Many people will walk in and out of your life
But only a few will leave an impact in you

That is life... For you.

I Will be Here For You

Whenever you are feeling sad
or feeling blue
Just give me a call
and I'll be here just for you

Whenever you are feeling happy
or feeling lonely
Just give me a call
and I'll be here just for you

I'll be here for you
with open arms
I'll be here for you
to share your bums

I may be quiet
or small like a bug
But if you really need someone
I'll be here to give you my warmest hugs

A Poem for V-Day

February 14
Happy Valentine’s Day

Couples strolling on the streets
But all I hear, is the shuffle of my feet

Fate seems to play a joke on me
As I’m alone again this very day

I’m waiting for that special someone, to appear
In front of me, someone to whom I can address, “Dear”

However, it has been so long
Everything just feels so wrong

Hope seems to be flickering away
Happiness and joy, kept at bay

When will my Prince Charming appear?
I really do wonder………

**This Poem was written after being inspired by a friend who wrote 1 on V-day**

Just ...

Just dropping by to say Hello!
Hope I was not too slow
To greet you a lovely day
As you go on your way

This is a note to say
You are not forgotten everyday
This is a gently reminder
To let you know I still care

That you are still missed now and then
That I still regard you as a friend
That you are always on my mind
For a friend like you is hard to find

If ever you need someone
To lean on, to talk to
You can count on me
I promise to be true

After The Storm

I’m still at crossroads at the moment
But I’m slowly walking out of it

The storm was gone and is beginning to clear
The sky is starting to brighten but I still fear

The paths are smoother to walk on
The grasses are looking healthier and strong

The flowers are blooming
The bees are buzzing

The air smells fresher
I need not slow down for a breather

The clouds are whiter
The trees seem sturdier

I looked down by the river
My reflection fuzzy yet starting to clear

The world still goes on
After a nasty storm

Time waits for no man
As like life has no end

Night

Night has fallen once again,
I curl up in my bed, crying.

Thinking back on the wonderful bits of the past,
However wondering how long the present bad times will last.

In the silence of the night,
I'm prepared to give up my fight.

Everything that surrounds me,
Seems to be a lie.

I'm caught in all places,
I'm very much in a bind.

It's been a whole 5 years since the incident,
However increasing, are my resentments.

My world came crashing down,
Yet, there was no one around.

The world I lived in became so dark;
It was as rough as a tree's bark.

I yearn for peace to be restored,
For love and happiness, to return; once more.

5 Years Ago~

Cry myself to sleep at night,
Freeing myself from the present to hide.
All the pain, the worries, the headaches,
Constantly swimming around in my head.

5 years ago, I was a cheerful person,
Life was much simpler then, no worries, no concerns.
It was sweet and smooth-going,
Enjoying anything that comes along my way.

5 years later, I'm a nervous painful wreck,
Problems never seem to end,
Troubles and heartaches always there.

How much has life changed over the years?
However multiplying stronger are my fears.
Life goes on as it never ends,
The world is older than all of us are, my friend.

Trudging down the treacherous path,
Is anyone out there to lend me a hand?
Danger lurks in every corner and winding bend,
Seems my life is played from a telescope lens.

I pray to God to give me strength,
The willpower and control in my hands.
That I will perserve and go on,
To emerge as a new person; Reborn.

Him ...

I dreamt of him last evening,
I was feeling oh so happy.

Never thought in my dreams that I would 'see' him,
I was practically soaring.

In my dreams, we had so much fun.
It seems time had stop, and the happiness would last.

We went to the movies,
Boy! It was freezing.

He wrapped his arms around me,
I felt so warm & cozy!

The world seemed so bright suddenly,
I couldn't believe any of it.

All my troubles seem to vanish,
towards the end of the earth, banished.

The love I felt was so vivid,
how I wish for it to be a reality.

Alas! A dream does not last,
my alarm rang, the set was cast!

It's the beginning of a new day,
as I prepare for my 'war' at bay.

Pain

After a long holiday
Whereby I'm back to work

My mind is a jumble of thoughts
Which rendered me unable to work

I've had more sadness than happiness
I've had my fair share of crappiness

My mind feels numb from the pain
As like a celebrity overwhelmed with fame

I pray for the day to pass by fast
So I could leave to catch the bus

To reach home to snuggle in my bed
To avoid seeing red

To peer into the darkness once more
To continue my facade once more

To be myself as I am
The one and only me, full of pain

Life Is Fragile As It Is

Life is fragile as it is
So, why can't we take things easily?
Setbacks, worries and troubles that appears along the way
Trying our best to keep it at bay

Life is fragile as it is
Why do some things seem ugly?
Earthquakes, tidal waves and flooding
Ends in a result so bloody

Life is fragile as it is
Why does life seem so funny?
Fate plays a fool on each of us
Seems our lives are fragile as dust

Life is fragile as it is
Oh God! Why can't we just flee?
Away from the sadness of this world
From the violence so brutal

Life is fragile as it is
I pray to God for strength to keep
For guidiance and help
For love, care and warmth, bound tighly by belt.
