A WAY BACK TO YOUR HEART





In September it rained heavily and wet my thoughts and you never left
When you smile, you leave an everlasting memory in my heart
The feelings between us is so heavy, I can't let it drown
The more I tried to leave, it weigh me down
I hate myself for lacking courage to leave everything I have behind
I have many reasons why I should be strong
My heart will hurt me more if I lost the trace of you
I can't feel my tenderness since the last day spent with you
I want to let the world know I love you
Maybe someone will tell me where to find you
I wish time can be borrowed, so I can trace back your footprint
And find a way back to your heart

PRAYER FOR OUR PRECIOUS ONES






Oh precious ones please don't you cry
God is going to wipe the tears from your eyes
He knows you going through pains
You were innocently taken away from your mother's wombs
To a place hidden from the eyes of the sun
Man cruelty and judgment past on you
For God has always been fond of you

Mama is on her kneels with tears praying for you everyday
She is sorry that she couldn't protect you when you were taken away
With regrets we understand you are scared and have nightmares in your dreams
A virgin taken into the wilderness,
Tortured by men who were supposed to protect you
Men whom are supposed to love and take care of you
But has taken you through hell by tormenting you

Wipe your tears and look at how big the sky is
That's the whole world up there praying for your lives
We are not going to sleep until you are safely back in our arms
We are not going to rest until justice is served
For the evil that men do lives to go after them

My regrets is that you are too young to be put in such unethical condition
May you find the heart to forgive mankind for God has not forsaken you
He did not create man to be heartless and wicked
But to love one another and give a stranger a helping hand
We are sorry and hope you will forgive us
And find a place in your heart to help you forget the past and move on
For God is on a verge to bring you back home from the outcast
And the enemies to hell they will be cast

Life will be beautiful if we can be positive in our choice of words
Without words the world we live in will be in chaos
