LATTER RAIN

As I go down the river to pray

Lord send down the latter Rain
The world is dying today
There is no more peace but war

Pain and violence on the street
Someone needs to heal the world
We can't excel without your council
We rely on you for our daily bread

Please send hate away
And everything that will make us cry
Hopelessly we are devoted to you Lord
Our faith waiting until the end

Send down the latter rain to heal our fields
Send Your blessings, also send down angels
To open the golden gate that leads to You
We want to forever be close to You

Can I hold Your hand for a while?
We have been too long in the sun
Waiting and praying for comfort
To strengthen the salvation of our land

I pray for freedom for our nation
Every heart broke from the chain
Love and laughter in our soul
Lord, send down the latter rain

NOT JUST ANOTHER LOVE POEM

I write this words with ink borrowed 
From the pages of the frame hanging in my heart
Every letter tells a story
Of how unconsciously I fell in love 

I tried to tore my heart's out
Maybe I could take away memories of you
But my love for you sinked too deep
I wouldn't survive on my own without you

I went to fetch for clay
To mold a vass filled with pieces of my feelings for you
So I may keep you close to my heart
And water the flowers growing inside

DO YOU DANCE?

To amend the dreams you never had
Do you park your bag for a ride?
Or lock your feelings in the past?

By sitting on the fence

The wind may take you down south
But do you carry God's plan in your heart?
Do you blame the world for pushing you aside?
Why you don't pray when life is sad?

God has been having sleepless night
Trying to figure out for you, where He went wrong
Can you take a moment to open the pages of life existence?
If its complete or altered by your own act

Imagine you wake up in the morning and find out
That your memories of life is exhausted
Would you sit down and cry or find comfort in a smile?
If today you die, would you say I had a better life

Life can run out of supply
At a point in time you need to open up
Don't need a crystal ball to ascertain a man's fate 
Every thing needed in life, can be found when you pray

If the company you keep can't lend a hand
In times when the heart is broken and frustrated
If while the music play, God leads you by the hand
Do you dance?
