thanking second,
what is rightfully our property,
our valuables,

A funny thing happened on the way to my house.
Another balmy spring evening whiled away in the park,
Swinging through examination blues and unrequited crushes.
Those rocky teenage years!

We ask what does this mean?
He was in the prime...

The torrentuos folks in their prime
Take your pen in hands
Let it flow freely on a book
Write of the bliss and diss
Of youthful ardour for piety

A friend is one who sees you not as weak
But in the process of becoming strong
Who listens long and well as others speak
Not judging but encouraging along

Though in the very prime of life, a friend

All the acts and deeds of prime of life behind
Face smeared with wrinkles and agony of despair
In the deserted dwelling facing times unkind

Temperatures are in the minus range
No need to get in a flap about it
As long as love's holding the reins
