Goodnight, Sweet Dreams

Goodnight, sweet dreams
Are the last words I hear from you before I sleep

You toss 
I turn 
Can’t get you of my mind to fall asleep

I call
You call
The lines jumble
And we try to go back to sleep

Good night, sweet dreams
I hear your voice ringing once more before I sleep

A Wish

To Cherish
You do not need riches
Nor grow inches
It must all come from within 
True love and a few smiles
Just working with your heart

Somewhere new
Everything is not so perfect 
Me not reaching there yet
That’s when you came in
A few steps turned into walking,
Flying now I’m soaring
It’s time to discover

Life Must Move On

Life must move on I guess
Yes we all had that before we met
And we made the two one
No more me no more you there was an us

Life must move on I am sure
Teenage dreams and desires must be put on hold
And welcome the realities of truth

Life must move on though it hurts
If we are meant to be for sure
I will be waiting at the other side.

A Smile To Everything

There is more to life 
Than what it seems.
Life  filled with all forms 
of agony, misery and sorrow.
Yet we may be used to situations
Where disappointments and
 frustrations pushes us on.

But I ask,
Should this be the reason
 why we cant put on a  smile
 when the sun wakes up its sleepy head?
Should this be the reason 
why we shouldn’t take of our shoes 
and dance when the sky releases its tears?
Your guess is as good as mine!

An achievement is not making everyone happy
But doing something out of the blue to make yourself happy.
Yes! People might see you as a failure
But seeing yourself as that winner is your achievement 

Don’t give up on the little things that make you happy due to what people say
Don’t give up on your dreams because of little disappointments in life
But by believing in yourself is an achievement to lead you on to success

The Journey

A journey begins 
Finally it will end 
If I take a brave step
And stop at no end
With my bit of courage 
And a tint of brewery
I will make

No one is stopping me
It’s all been set by my mind
Search and all you will find
Is putting my best 
Never taking a rest
Until I be the first
The peak of what’s set

The journey  is over 
Sweat trickles down all over
I know all is well 
So it’s time to sail 
Back to my people who  will hail
At all I do

Back To Where I Belong

Looking to my left
I experience the freedom,
I yearn to have
Children dancing 
Young men chatting
Fathers playing draft
Mothers cooking
And old men smoking their pipes

My dream gets distracted 
By a group of boys talking
It’s a similar feeling, I tell my self 
The bell strikes 
Informing me that it’s time
Dreams do come true
I say aloud,
As I walk down the narrow way back to where I belong
