Son, how are you this early morning?
This is just to wish you well...,
Your Exams are near,
Hope you're taking the stress well....
Hope you and your friends edge each other on...
Be honest and talk about what goes on...
Discuss and analise certain topical issues...
That will definitely deepen your grasp of such issues..
You'll need to minimise stress and keep sharp your mind...
When in need, do take time off to refreshen your tired mind...
Go for a movie, take a break with friend at the nearest cafe...
Heck, go out with friends and chill out and lounge easy in the cafe....
Make sure you intake enough water to keep away drowsiness ....
Grab enough sleep, rest and exercise to keep away sleepiness...
Take good care, it wouldn't do to fall ill now that exams are near...
Relax and be confident, you're well prepared for these tests...
Do your best and your best will do all the rest...
Cheers, son! God bless and may you easily ace these tests..!
Bow Down to Storm, To Rise up to Norm
In praying position as the religion directs, bow down to storm
As god’s judgement, can’t avoid, have to weather it as the norm.
Will the storm breed life or decay and destroy is the question?
Will one be able to gather the strength to rebuild and refreshen?
Night ends day begins, day ends night begins, is a cycle of life
Bad will be cleared by good, to cycle bad again put more strife
Don’t cry anymore if in life you have to face hardships of love
But one must try to forget hardships consorted with life thereof.
The conflict between life and decay will soon come to an end
And the flowers of life will soon grow and blossom in the end.
The aftermath of hardships is like the aftermath of the storm
Only way to face them is to rise, to reconstruct and to reform.

Contest: After the Storm by Shanity Rain
I'm too shy to tell you how I really feel
my thoughts of you, in my head, are slippin' like
I'm walking on a banana peel
my thoughts of you seem so surreal it's unreal 4 me
2 conceal what I must reveal
4 me 2 be next to you, it's such a thrill
you're always on the top of my mind, high like an
electric bill
It's not over until, I fulfill things that make me
feel so 'up the hill'
You refreshen my soul, like water that's distilled
A relationship between me and you, that's ideal
I don't know why I'm so shy to tell you how I feel
It's like I'm keeping my thoughts away from you,
like A poor kid without a meal
You don't know how I feel, come 2 think of it,
neither do I
I guess, I guess, I'm Too Shy...........
