HUG ME






Hug me; hold me till it hurts no more
Let the evening wind sweep away my tears
Let the calmness of your love ease the burden in my heart
Please don't let go, I am fragile on my own

I tried to hide the pain behind each smile
I tried to stay strong and promise I wouldn't cry
But loneliness permeates through the heart
My feelings are all locked but dying inside

This little shell's carrying the burden of the world inside
Can't curtail my emotions anymore 
They might not stand the time of time
Hug me, please don't ever let go off my hand

I AM A WINNER



Life has been hard
Everyone looking down on you
Tried all you could phantom, yet life keeps failing
Everything about life going round in a circle
It seems you have no will power to fight on
Tell the inner self, I can not be a quitter
I am a winner

Do you work in the office effortlessly, yet nothing to show for?
Got so many responsibilities that need taken care of
All of a sudden you are caught up in management downsizing
Frustrated and feel like you are at the edge of the world
Raise your hands up high and shout out loud
I am not giving up hope, I will make it, I will survive
I am a winner

You have been admitted to the hospital for weeks
The doctor informs you your ailment can't be cured
Family and friends all given up hope of your recovery
Remember an angel is watching over you
In your heart pray and say heavily father I believe in You
I have a God so faithful, I will be healed tonight
I am a winner

Are you married for years with no issue?
You are mocked by friends, neighbors, and families
There is no need to feel so rejected and sad
Touch your heart and prophecy to your body and see what the Lord will do
God created you to be perfect, He has not forsaken you
Smile so the world will be astonished by your joy that's about to come true
Rejoice and make a joyful noise and tell the world
I am a winner

My brother and sister, are you living a life with unfulfilled dreams?
Everyone's fed up with you, no one anticipated any good to come out of you
Can your knees today, put your fist on your chest right now
Close your eyes and tell thyself I can not be an outcast
I have a dream that will make the world marveled
I am a winner 

You are in a home your husband always hitting you
The love he once seems lost and gone
Can't bear it anymore and losing hope in your marriage
Every time you try to make things work he drafts further away
It's never too late to fight for what you believe in
The sun can still shine in your family if thou can invite God in
Pray in your heart, God can rekindle the soft spot your man has for you
Be patient and tell yourself that I will not give up my home
I am a winner

You are in college, studied hard yet having poor grades
It seems you did not give in your best
Can you do yourself a favor, pray for God to track backward your life?
In time you'll find success is prophesied in you
Look deep down into your heart and tell yourself
I am not a failure, I will graduate top of my grades
I am a winner

THE COLOR OF LIFE






Life is painted with sadness and joy
It’s painted with smile and regrets
It’s painted with feelings and emotions
It’s painted with grief and hatred
It’s painted with pride of a mother’s bosom
It’s painted with love and tenderness of a child
It’s painted with moments spent with friends and family
It’s painted with the beauty of fulfilling a dream
It’s painted with kiss and hug of a love one
It’s painted with hope and expectations
It’s painted with memories of losing a love one
The color of life is painted in the heart of man
