HEART STOLEN


I feel my heart is stolen
All I think about is you
Wish I could resist the feeling
Of falling in love with you

Beneath the tiny beam of light
There lay traces of you
Your footstep is all over my heart
I could not stop dreaming about you

THE GENESIS OF LIFE


In the beginning, God created heaven and the earth
The earth was without form and void, darkness upon her deep
Upon the face of the water, His spirit walked
God said let there be light and there was light
The evening and the morning is the first day

He made two lights to shine upon the world
One by the day another by the night
God made the firmament, the water He divided
The firmament is heaven, He called
The evening and the morning is the second day

In one place the water under heaven gathered
There sprung up grass and trees on dry land
The water became the sea, the dry land earth
God made the earth yield fruits after his kind
The evening and the morning is the third day

Under the firmament of heaven, God made the light
To distinguish the day from the night
By the day, He made the sun the greater light
The lesser light, the moon He made by the night
The evening and the morning is the fourth day

God created great whales and every living creature that moveth
In the water came fishes of every kind
Birds were created and blessed to multiply the earth
The world is beautiful and good in the sight of God
The evening and the morning is the fifth day

On the sixth day, the earth bringeth forth
Cattle and creeping thing, living creature after his kind
God created man in His image
Man became a living soul, gave man life and breath
Gave man and woman dominion over the earth

God blessed the seventh day and satisfy it
The greatness of all the work which He had made
These mark the generations of heaven and the earth
God rested on the seventh day
Which is called the sabbath day

HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT ESTHER



Have I told you about Esther?
Her beauty is like a bunch of roses
There is this uneasiness of love
That torments me when am around her

I lose self-control of my feelings
Acting like a child when she is in my arms
When she smiles, it melts my heart away
She is a perfect match from heaven

The day she walks in the door
I knew she is the one 
I have been searching for
To be my queen

I LOVE YOU!

YOU ARE MY PARADISE



Strange feelings creeped in
And devour my heart
It got slayed by your love
And could never be free

Forgive me darling
It is because of you I have a scar
I could never get used loving
Someone special as to you

You are my perfect crush
Turned my dream into reality
My emotion flying ever since
The cloud could not contain it

You and I is all that I wished for
Never to leave each other's arm
My feelings for you will never die
I will love you forever in a life time

A BETTER WORLD


I could not have thought
The world to be filled with hate
But why does suicidal thought
Creep into the human heart

Every time I turn on the news
Despair, conflicts are on the increase
I see war, famine and diseases
I see seria killings, rapped victims

Teenagers callous to the detest of abortion
Leaders blinded to greed and corruption
Youth lure to drugs, lure to cultism
Human trafficking also symnonimous

I do not know of anyone not guilty of something
We may pretend living a life of truth
Yet hide beneath the wrong choices we have made
With conscience piled up like a washed up sand

For once, can you appeal that we are at fault?
Open our heart, let the sun light up the cloud
Let hope arise and wipe away the darkness in ourlives
Let negative feelings cracked and give birth to a new life

To show that we can love one another
And not be judged for a crime of being humane
If the world should come to an abrupt end
Can you vouch the conscience is aright?

BONDING BEYOND WORDS



My
Entire life does not borne the reflection of me
A huge positive cloud weigh down on my feeling 
Sewn every piece of hope together to find comfort
Bits of faith, scraps from a broken heart all together.

My
Many dreams concealed and abandoned on the shelf
In the bottom page of the old tattered dusty notebook
As the sun reflects on the shelf, the dust consciously wipe out...... 
Ah, if I were to speak.

My
Dreams now look bright and clean
The napkin did a good trick in reassuring me I am not abandoned
See how regretful the world without family may be lost to you
You who can not avoid the snare of life
The thought in your head are words and feeling you can't hid!!!

SO LITTLE TIME


With so little time
How can one measure life?
If it is too short to live
Too short to grief over a berieved one

Sometimes it feels like I am abandoned
I can not figure out my true self
Why I struggled to chase after my dreams
And lost track of time 

I tried to envisage life big picture
Despite it took me so long to look
But it is difficult with times so hard
To accept I wear a heart that can withstand time

You may be right about me
But what if the tide turns towards you?
Would you accept life to be cruel
 If it feels like you have no purpose

Not enough to time to keep a commitment
Not enough time to be loved
Not enough time to correct your mistakes
And be judged out of context

A friend on the street
Sometimes maybe all that we need
When the going is getting turf
They remind us that life is not always bad

Even when we someone takes advantage
Of their trust and take it for a weakness
Do not let life get the best of you
If there is no one to answer your questions
