My Mother's Prayer

Sitting at my mother’s side, I listen to her prayer.
“Dear Lord, please keep your hands upon me”. (She thinks that I’m not there.)
“I know my time on earth is short, and, I’m ready to come home.”
“I miss my husband; I’m tired of waiting, and, I feel so utterly alone.”
“My youngest child is with you; please give her all my love.”
“It’s the memories of her that I miss most, and, her future I was deprived of.”
“Please watch over my precious grandchild. I worry about her so.”
“Give her strength when I’m no longer here. I want the best for her, you know.”
“Watch over my kids as they grow old, they are treasures to my heart.”
“I’d like to visit them in a dream, and say, we are connected at the heart ”
“I have tried to live my life the way that you would have wanted me to.”
“Although you know that I’m not perfect,and,I’ve made a mistake or two.”
“You have been my salvation, Lord, and savior to the end.”
“Prayer and faith have brought me through, I’ve grown to understand.”
“If you come for me this evening, my heart and soul will surely rejoice.”
“For I know there will be nothing sweeter than to hear these words come from your voice;
“Well done my faithful servant, you’ve served your purpose here on earth.”
“I have prepared a place for you beside me, and, it is one you have truly earned.”

Your beauty is like fire gives warmth and light
It changes my love into fortune from a plight
My love you are in sight and remain in sight
It creates miracles when love takes eternal flight

Let my love play with strings of beauty in mood
Do not waste time being vehemently cruel ,rude
Love is in search of just beauty's sincere gratitude
Let make all love whispers love's base and prelude

Let me love you to make spring more romantic
Before its too late let us be really prompt ,quick
Let the tower of lover be developed brick by brick
In  entire world there is no one like you my chick

Your beauty has taken over love just at a glance
If you ask me I do not want to take any  chance
In this state of sheer love and dangling romance
Let our souls hand in hand go for a magic dance

Life is a vast ocean and love is power to swim
Beauty is a light which just swarms on its brim
Odds and sacrifices make valiant to fly to trim
One who dares never encounters situation grim

Lover has boat of strength with its strong mast
With his love anchor he can encounter holocaust
Beauty with her graces can make him to blast
Time becomes still whether future, present,past

Love surmounts and surpass every eventuality
It takes on charge to abolish every fear and pity
In the company of sweetheart being smart,pretty
Love surpasses all hindrances and odds to be free

My love my sweetheart my evergreen love hope
Let us together swing on that eternal strong rope
Which is unique and universal in its real scope
With intoxication of seductive beauty I feel to dope

Why Don’t I Hate You?

Why don’t I hate you, after all you have done to me?
I have never known anyone who could destroy me so completely.
I was blinded by the false vows you made of a future;
Only to find out you were nothing but an abuser.
I had no warning,you just suddenly vanished;
Leaving me to question, and,my inner demons to vanquish.
It took all I had not to curl up and die.
Instead I wrote down my feelings, and, gave permission cry.
In a letter addressed to you, I never sent;
I poured out my “Whys” until I was spent.
I acknowledged the future you told me was a lie.
It was time to let go, and, say my final goodbyes.
I struck a match, to burn my memories of you.
I watched the flames grow, and then it was through.
A piece of my heart died the day you left me alone.
I wondered how could someone have a heart made of stone.
I had to create my own ending to us.
I’m forever changed, and, I won't be so quick to trust.
I hope that one day I am able to forgive you.
Because in doing that, I can reclaim what I most value.
Myself.
