The meeting of the minds
It conquered the world
The entanglement of the souls
It emphasised the word
The endurance of the pain
It lead to freedom
Roll out that red carpet
Put a lid on, on top of it
Indulge what is coming
Embracing the ride
Fulfilment is the key
Enrichment gives respect
Pop the bubbly
Royalty has arrived
The sequence of events
It formulated astonishing journey
The segregation of the broken heart
It mastered a strategic leadership
The loving relationship encountered
It gave birth to the nation
Bow, she is what she is
Questions ...
Can I want you ...
Without drowning in desire?
Can I adore you ...
Without your pity?
Can I hold you ...
Without holding onto you?
Can I touch you ...
Without your skin burning?
Can I taste you ...
Without starving?
Can I fall into you ...
Without falling for you?
Can I love you ...
Without breaking us both?
Can I kiss you ...
Without losing my soul?
Never.
And so ...
I will.

One day as I was praying to my Lord
I said Lord, I wish I could help others..
Instead of always needing help….
Needing to borrowing this or borrowing that
Lord I would love it.. If I be a Lender…
Then I could help others..
Instead of someone… always helping me…
.Lord please send prosperity
So I would be a lender….
Is there any way possible …
you would make this be
That I would be a lender….
Then came a reply… My Child You don’t understand…
Yes… I will help You…
You shall be a Giver… not a lender….
A Great Giver to all… expecting nothing in return….
I shall bless you beyond measure….
See a lender is always waiting to be paid…
A Giver is someone Not expecting anything.. in return…
Give and it shall be given unto you
Memo
One day as I was praying to my Lord

So I would be a lender

That I would can be a lender
Then came a reply… My Child You don’t understand
Yes… I will help You
You shall be a Giver
Not a lender
A Great Giver to all…
Expecting nothing in return
I shall bless you beyond measure
See a lender is always waiting to be paid
A Giver is someone
Not expecting anything in return
Praise God.. Thank You
For allowing me..
To be a giver to all
Give and it shall be given unto You
Out of Love of Your heart...
This Club Med lagoon really holds the heat,
with a beach front view and a coral suite.
But the best of all
as we watch it fall
is how they serve up each meal on a sheet!
Danger, danger all around...
Worldly tears came to rest at a long
measured affronted mournful breast.
In our heart's God's promised freedom
of country were shed many unnumbered tears...
A deadly reckoning, awakened many hidden fears.
T'was over three thousand deaths, had left to us all,
an enlargened painful cross to bear...
The whole free world has outburdened to all, a woeful,
saddened care.
This saddened burden was brought to bare...
Planely smokey, flame emblazoned twin buildings once stood
real proud and tall.
This pain filled catastrophe, ignited in America,
a much vengeful-freedom's call.
