Lost

I stare at the pc
I look at the clock
My colleagues are busy as bees
I'm jumping around like a frog

Calls are coming in
Emails are being received
I hear my colleagues typing
Away and furiously

I'm trying to find a direction
I'm trying to not get lost
However, there seems to be no progression
I'm panicking and in a twirl

Is this how it is like,
For an amateur?
Is this how the system bites?
Let's have an overture

Often Times

Often times,
One do not realise what they have until it is gone
Only to start lamenting the aftermath and
To frown

Often times,
People do not know how we really feel
Unless they landed in the same situation,
As we do

Often times,
The land is still standing
Even though it has been devastated
& left being a ruin

Often times,
The tree still stands tall and sturdy
Despite having gone through, a torrent of rain
And thunder

Often times,
We wish we could just give it all up
And lead a happier and simpler life
But we can't

These are but
The trials and tribulations of life

To : My Sister

I pick up a pen
but my mind's a blank
A million things running through my head
as I lay on the bed

I recall the night when you were born
oh such wonderful joy!
You were is such tiny form
if only you were a boy!

But I thank God for you
for you never make our days blue
You are the joy of our life
for this I thank God, as each day passes through

You were a real 'monster' back then
in your growing up phase
You climbed up and down, everywhere
we could never find you in the same place!

You are a studious girl
one who needs no pushing, (at studies)
You excel in most of what you do
and we are very proud of you

Though we have been thru' a difficult time befor
ewe had managed to pull it thru'
We survived all the hurdles and obstacles
without turning too blue

I remembered when Daddy first fell hard
Life was a thud!
It was terrible back then
our lives were much twisted and bent

But we prayed hard
and our prayers were answered
Daddy got a new job
our prayers were heard

Although this is the second rough patch
we are going through
But I believe earnestly, if we are determined
we can make our dreams come true

Looking back,
I can't believe how much I've written
When just a while ago
I was still sitting away, contemplating what to say

Before I end this letter
I would like to say
Dear Anne-May
We love you always
And we will continue to do so everyday

No matter what happens
We will always be there by your side
We will comfort you when you are sad
Our family will not give up without a fight

You can count on our support
in whatever you do
No matter what your decisions may be
our wishes for you will forever be true

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

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.

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

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.
