I want to hold my head up high
I want to fly till I touch the sky
I want to make my angel smile.

Days will be hard and nights cooler
Life won’t draw your card any more
The storm outside would rage on & on
Yet your music would raise me strong.

The wounds keep bleeding
The tears keep falling
I may not matter any longer
But I promise to not let them monger.

Nothing can glimmer your dazzling light
Believe me, you can scale pristine heights
You are the brightest star ever
Just let it shine sharp and clear.

Keep smiling
Remain happy
Brighten up my Angel of Joy
You will always be my Phantom of Delight.
This was written for my little daughter whom I hadn't met for 6 long years.
My last memory of her flashed & paused,
at me kissing her tiny forehead,
she was just 1 month old then, sleeping peacefully on her mom's lap,
cuddled within caring silken arms.
lately, I've been feeling very lonely
even when I'm surrounded by people.

lately, I've been feeling quite disconnected
to the very place I came to make connections in.

lately, I've been feeling like I don't belong
to the very place I called home.

lately, I've been feeling quite lost
despite having all the things on my checklist crossed.

lately, I've been feeling really stressed
even though I've been trying my best.

lately, I've been feeling quite incapable
of doing what I need to do, or should be doing.

and lastly, I've been feeling really sad
with the very life that gave me everything I have.
compilation of the thoughts that I've been having lately
hours turn into days
and days turn into weeks -
of not talking.

i'll call you later
eventually turn into "call you when I'm free"
except that, free meant never.

the key to long distance is communication, they say
but how can we communicate when we don't even talk every day?

i refuse to give up on us
i refuse to believe we are done
but to you it seems I have become someone
less of a person and more of a fuss.
I'm trying to figure how I'm feeling about my relationship. Long distance is not easy and I  thought we could work it out. But I'm afraid it is hurting us both more than anything.
Teacher I am hungry
Teacher I may faint
I cut my finger badly, this is blood it isn’t paint!

Teacher Timmy’s laughing
Teacher make him stop!
There’s something in my hand now, tell me what it is I’ve got

Teacher I’m so tired
Teacher it’s no lie
If we stand for one more minute, I shall definitely die!

Teacher mommy’s happy
She says thanks for your compliance
She said you and her and daddy are now part of an alliance
My life from afar
Always reaching for a distant star
Never stopping to wonder ‘if’
Constantly hoping til hope goes stiff

My life to a child
Always kept from going wild
Trying always to never cry
Refusing to bid my dreams goodbye

My life to me
Never believing what I see
Always looking beyond what’s here
Paying no mind to building fear

My life in reality now
All these winds cause me to bow
I’m just one in a huge, huge crowd
This silent music sounds so loud

My life to God
A pretty pea in a pod
Beautiful, in his eyes
Like the tiny twinkles in the skies
in the silence
of night….when I’m all alone,
I can hear whispers
calling from home.

every “I Love You”
that has ever been said,
fills my heart with light
through my soul, it spreads.

Wrapping me in peaceful love
holding me gently, but tight,
letting me always know
I’m never alone through the night.

in the silence
of night…..when I’m all alone,
I can hear whispers of love
calling to me, from home.

Just once in a while
It's good to recall,
to revisit the past,
to promenade down memory lane
Not for nought but
Just to wonder
Just to ponder
Even though there can't be comprehension or clarification
On how things went asunder
How all went awry
And life took a wrong turn
Plans dissipated like an apparition right in front of your eyes
Dreams scattered like a profusion of puzzle pieces
Just when you presumed the
Picture was coming together.

Just once in a while
It's perfectly acceptable
To wander and wonder
To travel to the realm of dreams
And ponder
What might have been
What could have been
What almost had been
Not for nought
But to feel that magic
One more time
To see those smiles
One more time
To hear the laughter
One more time
To resurrect those emotions
One more time

Only once in a while
I say!
There is a gentle stillness
a quiet surrendering
a lingering calm
where I long to stay
before the quiet wave
of evening
becomes too soon
another day

Father, draw me close
enfold my weariness
and give me peace,
surrendered.
And tomorrow when I wake
grant your Holy Spirit
to face the battle strong,
I pray
