WHEN I DIE

I wouldn't blame the government for abandoning me

I wouldn't blame the society for betraying me

I will not judge you for not believing in me

I will not blame you for breaking your promises

As I journey into God's hand, know that I have forgiven you

I truly understood the burden you had to carry and the reason too

I am going to miss the world, friends and neighbors

I regret not able to impact the lives suffering on the street in stance

I regret for I would no longer be around to hug you as did in the past

The sun is still shining on us all; I hope you see the direction of light

Don't let the struggle of our heroes past and present be in vain

For we all going to path ways someday and leave memories of our lives cropped behind

I had a good life; angels are so anxious my hands to hold

As I am anxious to hold yours in heaven above someday

Please don't beat yourself up but promise me this day

You will live a better life than did you yesterday

That you will not clot your heart and die in dismay

WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP

I watched you asleep for a while

I never knew you were an angel in disguise

No wonder I have been emotionally in love with you

My heart tingles excitedly anytime I am around you

I will be lost in this world

If you are not there to make it rain

You gave me everything I thought one could never have

For hours I stare and counted the stars

Out of billions of stars up in the sky

Your beauty is the brightest of them all

HAVE I TOLD YOU?

Have I told you how much I love you?

Have I told you lately you mean more than the world to me?

For you are like a lamp that light up my heart

Life with you gives a feeling of been gracefully touched by a goddess

Have I told you how beautiful you made my world?

Have I told how lucky it feel to hugged and hold you?

Have I told you how excited I am when I kissed you?

I wouldn't want to live life another day without you

Everything that gives me joy in life, I found it all in you
