My angel I have heard on high.
I'm lost. I don't know who I am.
You seem so high up in the sky,
and I am really in a jam.
By the tinkling of heaven's chime,
I ask myself, suppress a grin,
where have you gotten to this time?
What kind of trouble are you in?
I do not know quite where I am -
maybe, to the slaughter led,
just like Mary's little lamb,
except that I will soon be dead.
I can hear your voice so shrilly.
I will find you, my little lamb.
You needn't be dramatic, silly.
If I must use GPS, I can.
Oh, my angel, I must confess,
I don't know the reason why
I got myself into this mess -
a whale's belly? I want to cry.
Oh my gosh, my little fool -
find you? I wonder if I can?
Don't worry, my precious jewel,
my angel eyes begin to scan.
When grim imagination starts to roam,
anywhere on earth's roundish sphere,
you are always here in our home,
and your angel always finds you dear.
Counted as zero is every of his deed
violence needs a recruit and comes with an expensive bead
for a person envied by the dove? Not this creed!
The quest for peace has reached the level of greed
shy, reverent and peaceable, this person is not just timid
a nature full of warmth, excellent for any seed
on calmness and free flow, from him the river takes heed
an existence not suspicious because gentleness takes the lead
ego has been exempted from its routine feed
the older he grows, the more his long-suffering breeds
no wonder, he never seem to be in any need.
Shrinking is this strength, the will is weak
Slow is this personality, spending eleven days in a week
In the world of human rights, here is a geek
An angel left her feather for this soul to pick
To act as fast as a tortoise is considered too quick.
Toothless, spineless and a giant bird without its beak
a life of two candies, just take one and lick
to be wholly independent or to submit to someone and be sick
easy is the choice, but the latter, this person seeks
an eye for an eye is never a box to tick
sacrificial and gentle like no one else, is the meek.
Storm, how I wish
You wouldn't come; you get rid
My long suffering.
Long suffering voters
You voted
You got what you
Voted for
I am exhausted from this dance with misery.
I feel faint at the intenseness of my tribulations.
My sudden spirit lingers in the shadows of despair.
I no longer want to whirl around in the turbulent winds of iniquity.
I wish to be free of black vipers snapping at my heels.
Release me O'Lord from this burdensome fever of condemnation.
I wish to alienate myself from corrupt disparities in this vast darkness and bathe in the sun.
The thirst of my soul desires a quenching sip of thou divine grace.
Let me dine on peace and spiritual prosperity.
Give me the strength to shed this evil raiment.
Let me rest my weary soul on the road to redemption.

My God, thank You for showing
how long suffering* You are toward me
though I appear arrogant and unyielding…
Please constantly teach my heart
of humility’s virtue righteously rewarding
as genuinely exemplified by Christ, the Saviour
Who yielded Himself sacrificially, with love so exceeding.
Thus, I seek Your meekness-grace drive;
help me bear --- for Your sake,
every act I perceive as condescending!
My Lord, Your long suffering for me
highlights Your merciful compassion at work
notwithstanding my service that’s unacceptable…
Kindly correct my soul against prayerlessness
and faith’s increase-failure due to vanity-stumble
for me to progress in Your holy kingdom’s pursuit
making my stewardship fruitfully favorable.
Hence, I need Your power’s fortitude;
enable me --- to live for Your glory
as Your Spirit does enable!
*Exodus 34:6 …The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.

Twenty-six years we’ve been married
I can’t believe it’s been that long
If there was a medal for ‘bravery’
You sure deserve to be awarded a gong!
When I wake up in the morning
Your face is the first thing that I see
But YOU know in my wildest dreams
I’d prefer it was that hunk George Clooney!
Dedicated to my hubby on our anniversary which is actually on 22nd June although one year I had put it on the calendar incorrectly as 20th June so if I post it on soup on 21st I am pretty close to both dates!

Mirror tells
Life falls
Love holds
Never mind
You’ll find
Dream fades
Time bears
Love suffers
Rain pours
You’re still
So sweet,
Honey
