A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY WISH

Sometimes I feel you smiling back at me
When I look at the stars
I know you are wishing us well
Waiting someday to give us a hug in heaven

As you celebrate such a special day
Know that we celebrate with you
Janet Katherine Belenfante in our heart
Dario Belenfante missed the warmth of your presence

We all miss your love, affection and friendship
How you put on the light forever in our heart
Because of you the our world is a better place
You thought us to appreciate the people in lives

Happy Birthday

DON'T YOU THINK?

Don't you think it's hi time?
You've got to pull your self together
You can walk out of the door
Tomorrow's going to be alright

Don't let the past hinder your ego
It might be hard to let go
Look at the bright side, you've got tomorrow
While the cloud is still afloat

We all have regrets we try to forget
Don't let it weigh you down at night
And steal away the sun from the sky
For life is too short to sleep

We've all made promises we can't keep
Wish time can stale for a while
To purchase the things we never had
Like the guilt of choices we're too fragile to make

SEARCH

Search your heart, search your soul
There is a fountain flowing through
Life throws challenges our way
Favor and success delayed

Tap into heaven's resources
Let it rain and calm the nerves
Over the hills and the mountains
Joy floats and cloud the sky

There are no valiant in the grave
Only memories of people we love
Life must go on in the heart
As she sails through the storm

Only God can best restore what we've lost
His presence is a refuge for the weary heart
Search no more for worldly treasures
He has readily provided all our needs

Search your heart, search your soul
Can man stop the river from flowing
There is no searching of His understanding
God has many good and fruitful promises

SEARCHING FOR A HERO

Everyone is searching for a hero
Someone they can look up to
Sometimes we get discouraged
It turns out killing our dreams instead

We thought they possessed the things
In our lives could never had
We try so hard to be like them
But lost faith believing in one self

Its not a bad idea to want to have a role model
Someone you can always look up to
But we all have a unique strength inside
Hidden qualities waiting to be let out

First look inward the man in you
You've got to decide if he is apart of you
Together you can achieve any thing
Together you can fly and touch the sky

Heroes may come and go in our lives
They leave behind unforgettable memories
That stays with us the rest of our lives
But only you can best tell your stories

You can be bold and become stronger
Never you stop dreaming
With determination you can change the world
You can be the hero you are searching for

A PERFECT STRANGER

It wasn't a coincidence I met you tonight
You where walking down the street
I was just getting down from a cab
When your smile flashes between my eyes

Love sometimes make us look like a fool
I lost my mind immediately I set my eyes on you
For ten seconds I stood staring at you
Unconsciously I fell in love with you

It felt like I knew you before I met you
Your smile fills the sky around you
Maybe I must be out of my mind
For my thought is dancing around

Excuse me, do you live in heaven?
I swear you look so much like an angel
You are wearing my feelings tonight
I can't feel my heart beat 

I am not so blind,  I can now see love is cruel
You are gone and I feel miserable
No one knows what's like to fall in love with you
For you where a perfect stranger to me

HALF OF THE SUN

Wish I can hold the sun in my hands

Squeeze it, may be the world will smile again
Under the cloud hopes are forsaken
Life is pegged, hanging on a fragile line

It's not just a wish of a child
Of a mother crying all night
Over the death of her only child
Maybe man is not destined to have breathe

Every night I watched a falling star
Lost her memories of the essence of life
Made by God's own hands
But bath in mud of wars and crimes

It's not raining anymore
The flower have lost her beauty
Love imprisoned and rotting away
A mere ecstatic shadow of yesteryear

Can't you see we are dying?
Yet you pretend you care
Why did you put the light out?
We now live fragment of a purposeful life

Tossed into the sea and forgotten
Sinking underneath is the guilt of unloved
Whom has murdered the future
Left with a land infertile and unfortified

OH LORD

Oh Lord without you life will be a sad song

No man can be as patient and forgiving as you

We claim to be in love with one another

But deep down the heart it’s a lie

You never cease to amaze me

Why you care so much for mankind

You let your son took a fall for the sins of the world

Despite the world despised and rejected him

I have search both land and sea

Can’t find comfort as sweet as in your glory

You made the sun to smile in our lives

You made the stars give life to the night

Only a fool will say there is no God

A blind man can comprehend the feeling of love

For you watch over man from heaven

Thus the birds sing you praises in the morning

TOGETHER

Together we are going to travel through the world

You and me for ever

When it rains, when it snows and when it’s winter

Our ship will sail to forever land

Doesn’t matter how long it takes

I will wait until you are back on your feet

There are stories yet untold

I wouldn’t let go your hand if the ocean dries out

My feelings are waiting for you 

Broken pieces of thoughts of you

Please don’t let go my hand

For you are all I‘ve got

Many days have gone between us

But life never stole the reflection of you

I am knocking at your door

Waiting forever for you to let me in

You just got to let go some things

Your fear, burden and your past

From now on, we’re got to be together

I promise I will wait a little longer

But you’ve got to do me a favor

Let’s dance together by the sea

No need to get too comfortable with me

Just let me be there for you forever

A SAD POEM

Papa wasn't home at my birth
All my life soaked in struggle
For a little child with no friend
Emotions locked in a closet

At eighteen my feelings broke free
I fell in love hoping my heart would heal
Thought the world would be different
But my heart got smacked really bad

I conceded to love, thought she would bring me joy
What I was afraid of was staring at my face
Rejection, betrayal, unloved and selfishness
A dark burden of clouds fell upon my heart

I sat the whole night sobbing
And watch the glimpse of sun fading
The world became resentful
Scrambling for the crumbs of life 

Mama told me it wasn't my fault

Yet pain and sorrow seems to follow me
Never did I knew my father
I learnt he is cruel, selfish, always beating  my mother

I have got no more conviction in me
Lost everything I once believed in
But the fate of an unwanted child
To the uncertainty and cruelty of man

My heart is bleeding, tears can't hold the pain
Like watching a movie of my life going down the drain
It's true life isn't perfect, I live in a world that's deserted
All my dreams washed under my feet

I accepted fate that day
That love will only bring me sad memories
For friends and family are long gone
Don't know how it feels like to be hugged

For you mama, I will stay strong
Walk with you even if I can't find love
All I've got left is me, a pen and a little piece of paper

In grieve I wrote the heart to sleep, a sad poem

HARVEST

Wish you A Happy New Year 2016, a year of Bountiful Harvest.

 
Rejoicing in harvest
A year made of gold
The rain came in April
And stayed with us until December

It's a minute to midnight
Hopes are waiting anew
The roof of 2016 turn apart
With great expectation

Life standing far away
Lanterns burning in our heart
We sang a song to the mighty God
Like a vapor our praises reach the sky

Earth and Heaven stumbles
In the hour of joy God stood with us
Together we counted the stars
The stores in our heart filled with laughter
