We are FRIENDS of God through Christ Jesus.
Father Jesus prayed; “I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”
(John 17:24)

G O D S E N D S
Gentle as the sunlight,
Reflecting hope over snow covered ground,
Softening the heart and soul…
With a soothing whisper,
The kiss of kindness, blissful – healing,
Wistful memories, silent dreams
All the blessings, the many things…
That make up a lifetime, timeless truths
Creative gestures, faith that moves…
Mountains and fluid motion
Water rushing past the beds of smooth
Stones, erasing the past with a heartfelt

Wildly wonderful whacky ideas
Oscillating ordinary objects
Recreating reinventing rejuvenating
Developing deliriously delightful dendrites
Striving for succulently sassy sentences.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

B-A-P-I-A-D-S
Words spreading across the page,
limitless in their power, yet completely
reliant on achieving one goal.
In failing, they seep into the paper
lost as more words steal the limelight,
shattered aspirations crack as they are trampled.
Dedication. Followed by forlorn drooping characters.
Did you ever know delighted letters could feel so mournful?
Who knew painting wilted whispers could dash the

D S Ngashang, An Elegy
Across the length and breath
Of humour land,
None so far has touched
hearts
in
A close interplay of service
and humour like you did
A gem is gone across
the river
But lives touched
still evoke
Subdued laughter
in whispers
Because laughter is
gone with the
Wind of eternity.
Adieu! My friend
Your theatrical jokes embraced
by friends and foes
Are ever living

~Clouds~
(Hop-Scotch)
Clouds are nice and take many shapes
If you don't believe take a look
They travel fast and can reshape
Clouds I see like a picture book
Sometimes see angels or an ape
Observe in sky they can't escape
They're great to watch from site or nook
Clouds fantastic God's creation
Benefit man are here to stay
They're like marshmallows in motion
Moving fast

Unsounded minds
whispered twice,
Unopened minds
blinked twice,
Unresolved minds
fought twice,
Unclouded minds
fathomed twice.
Distorted minds
twisted twice,
Disproportionate minds
measured twice,
Disinterested minds
yawned twice,
Disintegrated minds
shattered twice.
Inculcated minds
nodded twice,
Inconclusive minds
repeated twice,
Inexplicable minds
questioned twice,
Irrepressible minds
damned twice.

F R I E N D S
I once remember how amazing it was
To be in a daytrip where everyone
Strolled in a dim with hazel eyes closed
But ended up in a new beginning
There was a clear picture of fake smiles
This made me awake of dramatic reality
Right where I was sitting and crying
I’ll never forget those hands of sincerity
It was indeed an overwhelming

Moonlit Pool No H-E-A-D-S
Moonlit pool -
Icy, wintry
Ignoring my buoy
Ignoring my will
No control
I jump in
Boggy, limp, put out
For you
But you point
You run
My tomorrow -
Forlorn
Lowly I bow
In my icy, wintry
Moonlit pool
