On a Friday night we met.
Shakes and hugs, we shared.
You had a smile that was rare.
One which made darkness turn to light.

We would sing and laugh,
And share depth of ourselves at night.
Very unsure I am, if you see what I see.
My heart just skipped a beat, thinking of you.
But unsure I am, if you feel what I feel.

So silence I give, secrets I hide.
To keep myself from a broken heart.
But if you shine your light brighter
And look a little closer,
It's quite easy to see,
How much I love you.

Sometimes I want to get Drunk,
And not in Spirit.
Drown at the end of spirit bottles.
Feel the burn in my chest
And buzz in my head,
As I laugh to tragic jokes of life's torture.

But sadly, I'm no alcoholic.

Nature's fury they say or karmas way ,
Convergence sharp in the eye,
donning a cape of disaster with pride,
Unfurling of glistening wrath with mighty stride .
Did we see it coming or not?  
What are we doing ,
for what have we fought?
Oh! What a shame !
Stop the blame game .

Every pain that one must bear ,
for every dis-burden ,every care .
Respect every conspicuous Front liner.
Doctors, Nurses and Hospital Staff,
what a brave fight they have all put up !
Each a Daredevil facing every upheaval .

For every grief that bows the head ,
for every teardrop that is shed ,
for every hurt, every plight ,
for every lonely pain-racked night ,
Trust in God as we should ,
for everything will work-out
just good .

Change is inevitable,
forever turning life's table .
In these whirling winds that seem to grind ,
let faith be the strong bind .
Fear no more ,
learn to go with the flow .

In the catastrophic scene,
purify your souls and let courage glean .
Holding onto Hope with triumph insight ,
standing united to win this fight.
Dwell in hope through thick and thin ,
Victory will prevail and we will win !

You were long gone
Before you ever said
Goodbye
.
The least you could do
Is stay gone

you re headed for disaster
cause you never read the signs
