Faith and Believing In Advance
For decades’ faith remains the essence of life
Believing in advance is the element of persistence
At times darkness will find you and
Harness the fabric of your faith!
Faith can never be hidden
It brings a sudden shift in our situation
Let your faith work
God through Jesus Christ can do it!

Thank You In Advance
No matter how many lives I've lived -
I die but only once.
No matter how many turns I've had -
I face one taken chance.
No matter how many times I've loved -
I crave for one last dance.
Sweet life, and bittersweet at times -
I thank you in advance.

Hideaway In Advance
Some way to be
When the next thing comes along
To find some way
To explain what we think we need
Is it an excuse to blame the world
For what we refuse to see
Unhappy
Unhappy
All the erksome things which count so much
All those things which then cost so much
Come to lay out your heart
In thier ditch of troubled speach

A Riverfront Poem In Memory of Her In Advance
watching her play guitar
listening to her sing
first, urge for going
next, river
i smile, knowing that these may be her last
holding her and warming her
listening to julian lennon's valotte
recognizing the pattern and the theme of rivers,
we decide to drive there
as i go to get her ocean blue blanket, she smiles at me and laughs
once upon a time

Freedom
The word freedom is a guilt
due to its somehows and whys
even nature mirrages so
family of months and days

and let that a turning through
and same number four year an

Here
Here-
no one gulps
yet we aspire
here-
no one guess
yet we dream
ah!, here-
love simply is
a fulfilment of orders.

I Want To Know In Advance
If I saw the sign,
That my life is going as it should,
Then I would know exactly how
Find what is called a treasure trove.
I'm afraid I made a mistake,
And that there will be an explosion in,
Fate flashed and disappeared,
Slightly opening the future for me.
I am surrounded by eternal darkness,
And I'm afraid I won't see the way.
Although

I Did Not Anticipate Aging In Advance
Heartburn riled me up smartly,
Woke me up and slammed me on the floor
Before acid reflux could …
Oops. Too late! I ran for the bathroom.
Arthritis laughed and made my feet whimper
It felt like I had broken both my ankles.
Must be raining today, I guessed
As I wretched in the toilet
Eyes joined my face in the mirror
You are

Many Weeks In Advance
Put your Mr. Happy back in your pants
Must know to be careful when you try to dance
The dance of passion
Your dancing's been rationed
To save your heart must know many weeks in advance

Thanx In Advance
When u forgive and forget
And just remember good days
When u ignore sunset
And only watch its lovely rays
When u asked ur heart to hate
And yet u never do
When u can always wait
In desert a lovely dew
When u got hurt too much
But trying to go through
When u miss your lover's touch
But he became cold as snow
When
