THE COST OF LIVING

One world, one dream, one destiny

Never give up on love, mama told me

A gentle heart, the world will not starve

If only this, man can understand

If man has but one page to fill

It is appropriate he tells his stories

Memories to keep when the light is out

The good, bad and the trying times

Don’t you ever stop the music from playing

It helps ease the burdens in the heart

Broken thoughts from a fragile mind

Resuscitating away from frustration

The world deserves a better man

Cultivated in truth, compassion and love

Worthy by the reader for a reference

At the bottom of a befitting page

WHO AM I?

I am the sun that gave life to the world

The lamp hanging up on the wall

I am the conscience that speaks to your heart

The voice that whispers to your ears

I am the ink that expresses your mind

The blueprint that makes up your dreams

I am the dew that rest upon your morning

The strength you need when in pain

I am the star that makes up your night

The words that project your thoughts

I am the music that calms your nerves

The shadow that walks with you day and night

I am the memories you keep in your head

The time you have in your hands

I am your pride and dignity

The light that shows you a path in the dark

I am your companion when you are down

The love and affection you seek

For you will find me in your smile

I am forever present, I am the Lord

A FRIEND'S WORTH

God made the best out of you
He never stopped loving you
The reason it never ceased to rain
It's because you are born with a unique smile

You are special like the lilies 
With beauty only matched in heaven
Until this very moment in time
I cannot phantom getting used to you

Where ever the winds may take you to
Know that I will always appreciate you
Don't you for a second harbor self-doubt
You are everything a true friend is worth
