I owe it all to you
I owe It all to you
My Father
I am happy that
You created me
With you holy hands
Many years ago
And placed me here
On earth to live
With my siblings
Also your young children
Are now youth
They already lived their teenager
Lives many years ago
Siblings I am your older
Brother
I am going to die
Before you
And I know that you are
Going to miss me
Because I

Thanks to these storms to which I owe the power to wield my angst like a shining sword
Thanks to these storms to which I owe the power to wield my angst like a shining sword,
For they have taught me to shake off my fears and crush them at my weary feet,
I feel a whirlwind of air entering my anxious being, freeing me from the shadows of fear,
I owe them their icy stillness,

I Owe It To My Heart
I owe it to my heart to bring back to me
the better it loved, the yet to be.
To discourage thoughts that push aside,
all that is past and part of my pride.
l owe it to my heart to bring back to me,
Long lost memories that happened to be---
Deep underneath in the quicksand of time,
Giving me my

I Owe You a Million of Thanks
You found me a broken soul
You didn’t need to know my past
You just lifted me and carried me away
Your gentle touch assured me I was safe
Your soothing voice was most comforting
Your tenderness was the validation of the
possibility I have a chance to make it
I

You Owe My Dad An Apology
I know now why I'm always mad
It's a little deeper than just hating my dad
or the beautiful family that I never had
The inferno that burns within
Fueled by rage and deception
Was lit by my own obsession
Yearning for your affection
begging for your acceptance
Following the humiliation of rejection
The falling short of expectation
I am the product of your

The Apology I Owe You
So long ago
Choices were made
Words were spoken
Bold they were
But not to the point
Hurt they caused
Straight to the heart
Knocked you down
I wish i could take them all back
I took that love
Stomped it in the ground
Took all your caring for granted
Misunderstood your concerns
I never considered your feelings
Treated you like someone i should not have
My love for you

What Do I Owe To You
What do I owe to you,
Beloved,
Who loved me once all night?
You never gave my soul two wings,
Nor sang to me your songs.
Sighing oh, to her I loved above,
Everyone naught else.
And you who loved me then not now,
I once knew her fitted gate;
That led through heaven, it's tall walls.

Let Us Rise From the Fall
LET US RISE FROM THE FALL
In the beginning, on this brand new earth,
Before there was need of a new rebirth,
Adam and Eve in their innocence stood
With power of choice to do what they would.
We know of their choice and how they did fall.
We know God loved them and gave them His all.
He sent us

Life You Owe Us
Life you owe us joy
Owe us love you sowed-
In your deep mortal ploy,
As if to hate we are endowed.
You toung kissed our souls
With insipid affection of fear
Breath of death in our nose
Whispering pain for us to hear.
You owe us what you gave others
Propensity to headway a fanthom
And be proud future fathers whose-
Success be our kids

I Owe It All To Poetry
for two years i expressed misery in poetry
who knew why and what had ate at me
my depression deep rooted in mystery
changing who i was most apparently
then repressed memories started showing me
mist which hid my history lifted for clarity
because i wrote my feelings down
my head cleared up and knots were not

We Owe It To Our Doctors
We owe it to our doctors
We owe it to our doctors…
The ones who took it to be part of Sun Pharma’s greater mission;
To prevent disease rather cure
Cure and control if that happens at all;
Defying comforts of air conditioned hospitals,
confronting heats and chills
of seasonal tones while sitting in villages;
A zeal to serve those in pain

All I want to share is that,
You have educated me,
Unlike anybody else.
Standing strong I accept,
Hard work and corrections will give me success.
