Tribute To Labors On Labor DayTo hands that toil from dawn till night,
In sun's harsh blaze or fading light,
You build the world we proudly see,
With silent strength and dignity.
You mend the roads, you sow the land,
With weathered skin and calloused hands.
Your sweat is ink on history's page,
Your spirit—brave, no gilded cage.
No marble hall, no silver throne,
Can stand without the stone...

Thank you LordOut of darkness drawn unto a light,
A fresh new breath of the walk of life.
Delivering one's soul of a spiritual fight,
Manifesting unto the unblemished wife.
To be purified into the likeness of Christ,
From these lips to give glory and praise.
To Jesus who paid the ultimate price,
That we might receive the Spirit to raise.
Rolling away the heart...

Thank You for Your TimeI’m going to
tell you something.
Even though
I know
your pity
will just spore,
like Huns of the night,
into my world.
I will be
your broken bird
on the sidewalk.
If, at the end of a long day,
when you coo
perfumed nonsense
around my wound,
it clouds me
in something
that almost resembles
a mother’s
warm touch.
Thank you
for...

The Grandfathers Of PoetrySoupI hit post and send my words
into this busy, glowing website
where I’m fifteen, the youngest voice,
surrounded by grandmothers’ stories
and grandfathers’ quiet smiles,
moms who cheer me on
and dads who nod like it matters.
I don’t mind being the baby here
your words feel softer than home.
You read my late-night poems,
drop comments like warm blankets,
and make me feel safe
when...

The Artist in YouA vein in me narrows a little bit every day,
I have tethered myself to shallow promises;
strengthened my organs of clay,
and deceived them to believe
Forever is either momentary bliss or death.
But then I heard a call in the blinding dust, echoing;
I saw you assembling pieces of my skin,
meaningless, disintegrated, ignored-
And sewing them up considerately;
A new...

6th Death Anniversary at the grave2025.4.16
Today, it is my late friend AP's 6th death anniversary.
This morning, I visited him
And brought with me not only the usual,
But three more new items
A popular book "The Art of Happiness",
A new published "The Holly book of the Foreskin"
And a frame of my embroidery work,
Consisted of a poem of farewell best wishes,
The song "La Paloma"....

The 6th Death Anniversary2025.4.16
Six year passing.
It was an early Tuesday morning.
You laid on your sick bed without moving.
For a while, you laid still with your eyes closed.
I decided to get close and climbed on your bed,
Placed my ear against your chest.
Tried to listen for your heart beats.
You breathed gently on my hair.
I was relieved and stayed still.
That was...

When the Daystar Shines
Morning breaks in upon my bed
welcome thoughts stir this sleepy head
banishing fear, dismissing dread.
Summoning sparkles in my eyes,
on waking up, daybreak supplies
hope-filled words, "Look to the skies!"
And I thank Jesus as I rise.
He hears the prayers I pray each night.
My Savior dawns with strength and light.
I love you Lord with all my might;
I trust you,...

Another satisfactory day at the piano2025.4.14
This morning, two things happened
At M Central while playing piano,
And each of them really made my day.
A young Asian woman, waited to speak to me.
She said her name was VL and
Has been coming here for months,
On her way to work and dropping in to listen,
She always wanted to tell me,
My piano music has given her...

To err is human to forgive is divine2015.4.13 @ 15:08:03
From time to time, I believed you had unintentionally caused me harm.
I expressed and complained about them,
Then I forgave, forgot and moved on.
My favourite number was three,
I believed I did three big favours for you.
I also travelled with you three tourist places.
I always visit historic towns and country side
During winter and...

RMIT Remedial Performance2025.04.08
Recently, I was fortunate enough to receive
Special treatments, at the RMIT building 51,
Where not only I have had so much fun.
But also having the bodily remedial therapy done.
I chatted and laughed with these young students.
What they did was part of their courses' curriculum.
They came up with a win-win situation,
Which they would provide massages...
