He strained my faith—
Did he find it supple?
Shook my strong trust—
Did it then—yield?

Hurled my belief—
But—did he shatter—it?
Racked—with suspense—
Not a nerve failed!

Wrung me—with Anguish—
But I never doubted him—
‘Tho’ for what wrong
He did never say—

Stabbed—while I sued
His sweet forgiveness—
Jesus—it’s your little “John”!
Don’t you know—me?

Without a call when you intrude
Interspersed thoughts get rearranged.
For my songs you play interlude
In your presence I'll be  engaged.

At your free will you come and go
What's your address - where do you stay.
If not around - I shall feel low
Questions arise - thoughts go astray.

Calls of many you may not heed
But you trespass every ones heart.
Have many synonyms indeed
You Penetrate like only dart.

Because you are the only one
Your christend name is "HAPPINESS".
One and only - compared to none
Ambush again with your fullness

Power supply goes off
And standby doesn't turn up
You start lingering

Whispering sweet things
More advanced than a Wi-Fi
You stay connected

Blessings in disguise
In this darkness, light so bright
You bring to my soul

Simple beginnings
Forever remain afresh
So gentle and mild

Only those two words
"Hi there" written on a card
Came from you through post

Those days I wasn’t
A bard - that was in the year
Nineteen eighty nine

Delighted I was
Didn’t know how to express my
elated feelings

Now in this darkness
You hold the torch - I cant write
Doth feelings endorse

Things will be rough if we are disgruntled
disgruntled voice makes others Grumpy
Grumpy feelings are always ungracious
Ungracious mood swings are nasty and huffy.

Smile on the face cheers up all
All the people around us feel good
Good moments shared,gives happiness
Happiness ultimately enhances our mood.
