Why there is poetry?
Such is a wise question,
as it has been man's gateway
to the world of innate imaginations...
about what makes the world go-round!

Poetry is everything!
It's the intimate expression,
and ultimate passion of the heart
that enthuse human endearment...
to explore, expound candid sentiments!

Poetry is life itself!
Without it life is empty,
and becomes insignificant
as there shall be no meaning...
to every moment that we spend!

Poetry make poets!
As it excites emotions,
inspires to compose poems
which explicitly lit a rainbow...
to give colors to our existence!

Am I real to the tests
of being a human flesh
created in His own image
of body and soul package.

Am I true to the faith
of being a believer of fate
imperfection is the way I walk
sinful words I often speak or talk.

Am I honest to my affinity
of being amongst Christianity
backsliding is the act I practice
still keeps the faith without malice!

Am I destine for hell
of being with others who fail
world pleasures quite compelling
how can I resist as a mortal weakling?

Family is a basic unit in society
created through love and integrity
nowadays families are breaking apart
one can predicts the demise such part.

Family today is loaded with adversities
frustrations emanate from social difficulties
lack of job security, or single-parent dilemmas
imminent divorce breaks troubled families in mass.

The origin of marriage had exalted family union
the Creator of humanity declared such dominion
'What God has put together let no man put asunder'
humans were created to glorify the Creator yonder.

God had brought Adam and Eve in harmony
'husband and wife should stick in matrimony
the pursuit of life-styles violate the accord
violates the standard set by the Almighty Lord!

Greed for material things are the worse single threat
to family life because it gets in destroys relationships
drains most family of quality time, and innate camaraderie
if only God is made the center in the family there shall glory!

All I think about in solitude is my angel
Your voice is music to my ear
A lullaby so lovely to hear.

None else I think of in school but you my angel
Your presence is an inspiration
A joy giving me consolation.

God I think has destined you as my angel
Your company is valuable
A bond we made is formidable.

Everything I think for is your welfare my angel
Your well-being is my happiness
A concern I do not like to mess.

Love is what I think I feel for you my angel
You are my very first one
And my only last to none.

Mango tree grows
along the roadside
none bothers to look
green leaves wave
asking man a favor.

Come the harvest time
every golden mango fruit
being sweet to the taste
unselfishly gives life a flavor.

The passers once ignored
the mango tree by the roadside
now so adamant to devour its juice.

Ever so green as the mango tree
leaves' chlorophyll cooks the honey
as it captures the sunbeam at noon
is sharing its blessing to fill our hunger

Life is a river of living riches
As is the bountiful nature itself
Filled with wonderful living things
All beautiful, essential and splendid
Of which fate evolves within specifications
Where opportunities abound around in surge
Awaiting pleasure for whoever sees it through.

Life is a forest of living ideas
As is the thoughts of the mind itself
Filled with voluminous vivid aspirations
All beautiful, essential and so profound
Of which dream arises within capacities
Where inspiration triggers able perspiration
Awaiting success for whoever works it through.

Life is a display of living arts
As is the outcome of imaginations itself
Filled with colors from the talents of poets
All beautiful, essential and very adorable
Where love becomes the ultimate feeling
Awaiting zest for whoever wishes it through.

Man's will
is the determination
to survive
despite all the tribulations
through hard work

and

Man's faith
is the commitment
to succeed
in spite of the difficulties
through innate conviction

It is by man's willpower
that he perseveres to pursue
his dreams to make it a reality
and through faith
he becomes optimistic
that success
is a great possibility
