Revered with Paul and Scott amidst the mass.

My Lord, Just One Day With You.....
My Lord, just one day with you will bring my life
back from all the sins that I have done myself
Its true when you had time for me to talk
then I was not prepared to listen to you
But now I realized that your golden words
are the precious to listen and live in this world
My Lord, just one day with you will erased all my worries
from my heart which I have made through sins
Its true you want me to be good and listen to
your precepts but I did not obliged to your words
But now I realized that your precepts are precious
to learn and live happy life in this world
My Lord, just one day with you will bring happiness
into my heart from learning all the lesson from you
Its true when I am under your shelter then the heaven
will keep me away from my worries and fears
But now I realized that without your heavenly blessings
there is no decent life for me in this world my Lord.

Save our children from slavery........
Our beautiful children are forced to hard labor by some of the evil people on earth
And they kill their soul.
Those little hands are holding hard tools instead of holding school books
Those little hands are touching dirty sand instead of their mother's hands
They listen to their evil men called masters instead of their school teachers
Struggling for their bread at infant stage instead for the struggling for their career
Mothers are crying for their children and want to save them from their darkness of future
Many years have been passed but not a single year has been cared for them
Because of our careless leadership our children are still living in slavery
Let us join together and save our little children from the hell of slavery.

Jesus Christ, is the only way........
Jesus, without you I am nothing in this world
nor without your love, I will have no strength in my soul
Jesus, you do not want me to live eternally in hell
nor take wrong path to end my life in deep well
Jesus, my path will not be cleared without your foot steps
nor I can reach the heaven without your command
Jesus, worthy places can not be found without your light
nor worship places can not be found without your precepts
Jesus, knowledge can not be wasted in your kingdom of wisdom
nor your guidance can not be stopped within limits
Jesus, you have died on the cross to save my soul
and want to wash away my sins to make me perfect.
Jesus, my savior thank you for being there at all times
and blessing me in many ways.
Jesus, give me more strength to live with your words
that always ennoble me.
Because, this is the only way I can reach you

Today is the eighth of August and it’s a very special day
Family and friends are here to celebrate Marion's birthday
She's a loving mother to her children and grandchildren too
Gardening and reading books are what she loves to do.
And there are many celebrities sharing Marion's birth year
Danny Boyle, Ravi Shanker, Tom Hanks, and Carrie Fisher
Andy Garcia ,Sue Barker, Theresa May, and Bryan Cranston
Along with La Toya Jackson, Sebastian Coe, and Mel Gibson.
In that year, some musical events made the headline news
Elvis sang “Heartbreak Hotel”, Guy Mitchell "Singing The Blues"
“Roll Over Beethoven” was a hit for the legendary Chuck Berry
Little Richard came on the scene with his hit “Long Tall Sally”.
Johnny Cash’s “I walk The Line”, "Que Sera Sera" by Doris Day
It was the start of the Rock 'n' Roll era that was here to stay
Other news was Prince Rainer 111 married actress Grace Kelly
It was the first ever royal wedding that was broadcast on telly.
Lugano in Switzerland held the first Eurovision song contest
Swiss singer lys Assiaslloll "Refrain" won, it was voted the best
The clean air act was introduced to combat industrial smog
No more walking about getting lost in that thick 'pea super' fog.
A polio epidemic erupted in Ireland and Cork was badly affected
Up and down the country it raged young and old were infected.
The first ever working video recorder was introduced by Amplex
It had a state- of- the -art recording system called Quadruplex.
Queen Elizabeth 11 opened Calder Hall at Sellafield in Cumbria
The first commercial power station that was powered by nuclear
General Electric introduced the world's first "Snooze Alarm" clock
An extra ten minutes in bed diminished the 'rise and shine' shock
But the eighth of August was one of the most notable events
Teresa and Luke welcomed Marion and became proud parents
Years later Bernadette and Luke were born adding to the family
Now they're all proud parents themselves and living life happily.
Happy occasions become fond memories and with you they stay
You'll reflect on them often and like a movie in your mind play
Celebrating with your family and friends makes it a perfect day
So, enjoy and make some memories on Marion's special birthday.
The world so breezy
Everything seems so creepy
Hiding in the corners of fear
Lose attitude and pride with tears
All the beautiful dreams we had at night
what's the point since you never will fight
Pain builds mountain inside of me, all I see is blood
Screaming shouting og endless echos behind a flood
We all know that everything has gone wrong
I can not even explain with a poem or a sad song
Stop the carousel it makes me sick and strange
Our beautiful nature in negative change

The nature's wonderful...........
When the early morning sun breaks through the darkness
When the night tears dew spill morning from the sky
When the nature's tears raindrops pour down to the earth
When all those trees dancing in the breeze beside the lake
When all those daffodils and lavender fill the air with fragrances
When all those butterflies and bees fly high in search of honey
When all those wild mountains river are rushing through the valleys
When all those beauty of waterfalls grab heart of a nation
When all those mountain hills carpet with its greenery wonders
When all those innocent animals grassing on the hill sides
When all those bird's flight, as they climb and hover in the sky
When all those wild animals freely walk around the jungle
When all those seasons spring, summer, autumn, winter fill our heart with cheer.
When all those trouble hearts, the nature become a smooth healer
When all those pleasant of natures make their own display
Oh, my God, I praise you for all your truly gift of the nature's wonderful

My angel, I love to watch you sleep........
When the night comes then your voice calm down
When the moon begin to sail in the sky
then your eyes are closing down to sleep
You fall asleep while dim light illuminates your room
I love to watch you sleep my little girl
You sleep like a little angel within your dreams
Your hair falls both sides of your face and
your hands folded in to the blanket
Your pillows and bunnies are spread around you
You breath soft and low while your innocent heart
beat slowly to the merry tune
I love to watch you sleep my little baby
When I want to kiss you to say good night in your sleep
then you toss your head and stretch your little body
and turn around sleep again while holding your pillow
God brought you to me and given you as his gift
and today you are the greatest treasure in my life
Someone to laugh and dance and sing in my home
I love to watch you sleep my angel

Ohoo, little butterfly........
(Poem for children)
Ohoo little butterfly, what a beautiful sight of you
Flying so high and circling around the trees
Your wings are so beautiful with sparkling colours
My eyes are dazzling when I look at you
When you are a caterpillar, curled up on a leaf
When you begin to fly then you are a beautiful butterfly
When the spring comes you make everyone happy
but during the winter you hide and make us sad
When you are dancing through the sky
feeling those stars are so close to our eyes
You cannot make any sound but you see the world clearly
So many stories are made for you
and our children are so crazy on you
Hope they will not catch you and keep you with them
and allow you to live freely in this world forever.

Our duty................
God not only create a man and a woman
but also their duties towards mankind along with that
Men and women meant for one another and
live together in truth and love.
God loves anyone who serve one another in difficult times
We must be honest with our duty with competence and integrity
and fight to end all forms of evil temptations and sins
The problems could arise in every way even you are truthful
towards your duty but it has to be tackle in the same manner
and at the same time the root of problems to be uprooted at once
If we do not perform our duties towards human society then our
faith and love will be end with sad and sorrow
If husband does his duty towards his wife then she will make
their family proud
If father does his duty towards his children then his
children's future will flourish
If a leader does his duty towards his country, then his
countrymen will reap the benefit.
Simply, Your duty is your God and serving to mankind is your blessings

Ding dong church bells......
When the sun rises in the morning
then the church bells begin to toll in the tower
These church bells are the voice of God
They make people to assemble to sing the Divine praises
Ding dong bell, Ding dong bell
Its a divine sound of a church bell in the village
Calling people to come for prayers
and telling people to have faith in God
Ding dong bell and the sound carries all the way
These church bells sound remind us the love of God
and make us to believe that we belong to Him
Bring our God above to have mercy in our soul
and let the spirit to make strong in our heart
Ding dong bell, Ding dong bell
Its a sound of a church bell in the village
Calling people to come for prayers
and telling people to have faith in God
Ding dong bell and the sound carries all the way

Poetry is independent fully
