I'll be an all time great in this lifetime of mine
Like the late great who came before my time
I will breed a new lifeline, that will breathe life like march of dimes
My story lines, will bring...

Manny PacquiaoAs a young boy,
He lived in extreme poverty
And worked as a construction boy.
Even though there were no foods to offer
On the table and being a boxer
Was the only way to feed his family,
He never lost his faith to God Almighty.
Not a single day he missed...

Time For Everything
Sun time, fun time
Staying out that one time
Pray time, playtime
Cute flowers in May time
Noontime, croon time
Waiting to see moon time
Munch time, brunch time
Going out for lunch time
Night time, right time
Finding place to write time
Date time, great time
Wonder why I’m late time
Sleep time, reap time
Silently...

Miracle of Life
The miracle of life
granted us a wondrous gift today.
Oh, how we're blessed!

a little one to join her sister
who, thirty months ago, lifted us up
as first-time great-grandparents!
And, now- her baby sister just...

A larrikin son of the Great South Land

The sun shone brightly when he appeared
There was only one Warney oh how we...

A Speech With Two MotivesKirk goes back to practised cadence,
With it he hits ears, no conscience,
Great stir in a once mute audience,
Afresh bides his time: Great Patience…
Talks triggered between close sitters
That a night guard steals embitters:
His straight sack: more hard hitters:
‘People’s wealth the meanly fritters!’
At the right time drop...
