Vani Gopal Poem
Nelson MandeLA
PATRIOT OF ALL NATIONS
A Powerful leader and example of true stature and grace
A warm smile that lit the whole african nation
His truth and pure honesty spread across the whole world
touched the young and the old
To see a man come out been captive in prison for so many years mandela
led the nation by example and dignity
His walk changed the african country
how to unite as one.The colours of the rainbow
are the same Mandela in his kind words spoke out with such empathy to the nation
Calling out we are a rainbow nation
NO distincation of caste creed or colour
To see people as one united country
TO make the impossible become the possible
Father of nation
Madiba shone like a bright star
The nation held him with great respect
He truly led by example
His passing away brought sadness to the haerts of everyone
But i am sure the lord has laid a red carpet
angels singings trumphets blowing
for a great welcome of a truly great man
We will remember you Tata In african language means father
Godfather of all nation
Truest liberal leader
Bless you

Vani Gopal Poem
Brother i miss you so dearly
I am sorry you left before i could say goodbye
What a beautiful soul you are
your passing away has left us so empty
My dear brother i am sure god made it
a pinprick because i cried to the lord that you must
not feel pain
I am sorry i was not there to save you
I wish i was with you just to sit by your side
To say a prayer when you lie on the road
Your friends did find your favorite shoes on the other side
Sorry brother for being so young and snatched away
Mum was sick and they called for someone in the
Family to identify your body
As they drove closer to the station
Memories of our childhood hit me so badly
Sitting in the car i lay my head next to the window so that the wind
can dry my tears
As we came closer
My heart pounded with fear
could they have made a mistake
Thoughts of hope flashed in my mind
that you were still alive
As they took me nearer
I saw this body covered with this silver foil
I was frightened brother
i managed to take a peak
And found you brother oh what sadness i felt
You lie still and cold an empty body
Blood dripping from the hole in your head
I found a flower and placed on hole of your injury
I wept like never before
I bent down and kissed your cold lips
And bid your farewell
This is my prayer to you my brother
Dear god look after my brother
Bless him with all your love
Shower abundant grace on him
God you know what a kind soul he was
He was loved by all his friends
His family loved him
God please look after him
As you know his heart was studded with rubies and gold
That was the beauty of his heart filled with kindness
and love
I know you have made a special place for him
Brother i hug through my words
You have left your legacy behind
Of impeccable qualities
One day i will meet you again
In heavens road when
its my time in this temporary world
We blow kisses for you brother
Know we will always treasure
the memories we once shared
Goodbye brother

Among all these leaders
My eyes see you as their example of kindness

MY Vow to God
Gathering in the garden of paradise
all the angels busy making arrangements for
this great auspicious day
Cards are been made with golden threads
Flower arrangements with the most beautiful colours
Each colour reflecting a message to capture the hearts desire
Cards been carefully selected with words written in gold print
welcoming this heavenly moment
Everyone whispering what going on
The gardens perfumed with flowers
lingering its fragrance and filling the air
Dancing angels clapping and dancing in white
clothes golden crowns fairy slippers
smiles of pure angelic being
The bride comes down heaven pathway
each flower greeting her welcome
angels holding her beautiful white gown
taking her to the bridegroom chamber
Pin drop silence
Not a leaf moving
Nature stops
God arrive as the bridegroom
Crown of many colours
studded with rubies and gold
God smiles lights up the entire cosmos
What a moment to witness
For god has been waiting such a long time
for this moment for his bride
The bride cries in intense longing
soul surging moment
heart consumed with the burning desire to become one with her lord
Alas silence
God comes near the bride
the ceremony begins reading of each vows
each vow with the deepest
of emotion and love expressed
Bride vows go like this
I the soul take thee my lord
from this day forward through pain sorrow
Joy and happiness
I pledge my internal vow of true commitment
and unshakable faith
In this alchemy of love
for better or worse
I take this vow
as my true commitment to you
to obey you follow your commandment
never to forsake no matter what comes my way
I surrender my heart mind and and soul
God says his vows
My child i have been waiting for this moment
Since the time of creation
With this ring of faith i promise
to never leave you
I will be there for you always
every step of the way
Keep your unwavering faith in me
for this seperation will be impossible
to divide you and me
I will live forever in you
My bride we share this life
forever in twain with one another
my love for you will be endless your cup will never be empty
My love will overflow never ending I will be faithful always

The angels clapped and rejoiced at his moment
in the power of the court of heaven
I join the brides soul to merge into god love forever
i Know pronounce

God than takes his bride in in chariot
to his chamber of love
Thank You for coming

Vani Gopal Poem
Hello, My friend. I was wandering what are you doing today, have you had your breakfast? Did you take a walk along the beach of Heaven today? Just curious, my beloved. I miss you so much. Show me your shining face, your magic smile. I want to see it again, my soul misses you. Do you want to play hide and seek, I will come and find you.
We could go into the garden to pick flowers or run in the field. Whatever you want to do with me. I will take anything, name it and I will do it. The separation is unbearable and I just want to hug you. Please I am waiting, My King. Can you hear me, I want to listen to you and have the music of your love fill into my blood and cells.
I thought, since I am not doing anything tomorrow, if you aren’t busy today, you can come visit me within. My heart aches, we need to be knitted together in your gigantic heart. Perhaps you may never forget me, this I know for certain. I thought about how I would give you a ride on my back and because I can’t see to drive through heavens road, I will try and carry you to your palace of grace.
I thought, as I was not doing anything tomorrow, and that you have a busy schedule, with all the souls in your care, I was wondering if you can spare me some of your precious time. My soul speaks of the special declaration , “come to me, my Lord”, for I would love for your heart and mine to be knitted together in your gigantic heart.
Perhaps you may never forget this, at least the pangs of separation has joined and become one. I know for certain that you have been planting this seed from the time I was created in my mothers womb. I thought today how can I please you?
God is so rich in so many ways. What can a poor, humble, beggar like myself offer you? With folded hands I clapped. My soul danced with the notes of your love and I thought, what a great opportunity it would be, if you give me your permission to carry you on my back. Because I have poor vision, I can’t drive through Heaven’s Roads and I know you are mightier, stronger and bigger than I am. Only you can fuel your love for me, to be able to carry you to your Palace of Grace.
If we do get lost along the dusty pathways, my tears will clear the road so that I can take you home safely.
Goodbye my King, we will talk soon. Good night, my Lord. We will speak tomorrow, don’t forget to call me. I will be waiting at the same place, same time, 3:00 a.m. in the morning where our private meeting will take place again.

Vani Gopal Poem
Mum, sorry I was not able to make it for your funeral in time.
We are continents apart and circumstances could not permit me to bid you farewell.
Allow me to write you this poem today.
The pain of separation still kills me.
Oh mother of mine, I love you dearly,
you are the priceless pearl.
If you dive deep within the ocean, you can never find,
the original, like you.
Your beautiful smile, your loving heart
I know God carefully selected you, to be my mother.
What can a daughter say to such a rare gift.
The priceless masterpiece of God’s greatest treasure.
A perfect soul indeed, I can only thank the Lord.
When my heart speaks with thee,
Only the heart speaks the language of love.
I miss combing your hair, coming home after school
and seeing you sitting on the porch.
I miss bringing you, your favorite flowers, the african violet.
I miss watching you the flowers toil and spin, as they are caressed with the kisses of the wind.
I miss watching you water the flowers and nurture it with so much love.
One day, for sure, when I take a stroll along heaven’s pathway,
I will see the violet flowers and know for sure by the lavenders fragrance, I will find you.
Oh mother, I had dream about you one night,
Wandering where are you.
I fell in a deep sleep and suddenly,
I felt myself in this beautiful place.
Lit with many candles, it was indescribable with beauty.
I saw you, lay on this white stone,
Covered in white clothes,
was God telling me, you are in his hands.
God’s reply was to me:
Everything is fine my child,
Your mum is in my hands now,
When you were her earthly daughter, I know you did your best.
Now you have a chance to say goodbye.
It goes like this mum,
Goodbye my friend, my mum
Someday we’ll meet in heaven again.
Your are masterpiece of a priceless treasure.
God prepared a place for you.
I know it was not enough, to bid my farewell,
over the phone while you lay in your casket, to say goodbye.
But now it is my only chance to write to you, my farewell poem
Goodbye for now.
We’ll meet in eternity one day.
Your Child

My youngest daughter
A bundle of joy
A beautiful soul that god has given me
The day you were born
you were known as the happy baby
Your curly hair beautiful smile
that warmed the heart of your mother
Your smile will capture even the saddest of hearts
you know have become a young lady
And found your direction in life
I am so proud of you
I wish you well in every turn of your life
for the young lady you have become
this beautiful bud that unfolded
its petals and became a rose
God blessed you with the soul of a swan
My dear daughter i wish you success

I wish all that the world can offer you
And i wish God guidance upon you
I wish his strenght upon you
And most of all i wish you love
Never forget mum loves you know and forever
I will carry you forever in my heart

Vani Gopal Poem
Lord, my cry for you echoes in the depths of my soul
The separation is unbearable, unquenchable,
Like a lifeless rudder on a stormy sea
The tsunami in me, rocks my soul for this mighty release of this prison house called the mind.
Hello, can you hear me?
My heart throbs to be in the delight of your love,
Where are you today, I miss you
I am exhausted of playing hide and seek
Come on my friend, this silence is killing me
I am awaiting for thee with folded hands.
The wait and the anticipation grows stronger.
The bride waits for her beloved.
I am surrendering everything I have.
Without you I am nothing, with you I am everything.
We will soar to heights of the unimaginable love.
I know you are busy lord, taking care of your souls.
I understand that and know your time is precious, it can never amount to any material wealth in this world.
With my limited love, your presence is beyond human comprehension.
Hello, Lord where are you
I feel your love, it’s so beautiful,
Like a piano playing music in my soul
Each note sings a different praise of worship to thee
My heart wants to be knitted and woven into your gigantic heart.
I see your creation, with so much of respect.
Each rainbow, cloud and blade of grass was crafted by your majestic grace.
Come on my Lord, looking forward to meet you at the Palace of Grace.
When our hearts will be forever married.
I know for sure, I will be knocked senseless.
With your blanket of love,
Surging in my blood and cells.
Hello, can you hear me, I am waiting.
Your lover.

Vani Gopal Poem
Hello my sister
I remember our school days
How i would wait for you
And sometimes i would forget my lunch. or my spending money
You would always give half of what you had
And i would do the same for you
Time as passed and years have seperated us we live in different countries
But please know i carry you in my thoughts always
Never lose sight of my love for you
Our hearts have the same expression of love for God
i guess sister our language of love for the lord
will always resonate in our souls
Sister your so kind loving and warmhearted
When i hear your voice on the telephone
Makes me so happy
You always reminded me of a princess
You exemplify such grace and purity
How can i forget your beautiful face
I just want to tell you depression is hard
And i know you fight this mental illness all the tim
I wish i was was nearer to you
So i can make you laugh
Cheer up my sister
We are just here for a brief moment in this world
We come empty handed and also leave empty hand
Imagine in your heart
Your are a white dove and want to soar to new land
Feel this happiness
Only your inner being can imagine this
I know it hard with depression
I can only try and walk in your shoes
Which i am trying know
Now close your eyes
Take all your sad thoughts
And heal each sad thought one by one with gentlest of your love
As if you are giving this dove a letter to post of into the deep blue ocean
when its reaches the ocean bed you must know your are free from just one bad thought
As you try and empty thoughts take a deep breath and say to these thoughts
You were here for a while holding me in captivity
But its time you go know
My mind wants rest
And God is giving me an invitation in his creation to enjoy
To watch each flower unfold it bud in the morning glory,and watch each child
happy faces as they enjoy their icecream with such happiness
As you know childrens mind are pure as the blade of green grass
Before you send of your thoughts into the deep blue ocean
Be kind to yourself
And remind yourself
This will pass and tomorrow will be a better day
We are humans good people and sometimes we suffer these horrible blows of life
But you must believe never lose heart
Never give up there is always light on the side of life
Time is a healer
Our mind is like the computer
Whatever good thoughts
we put in is the outcome of how we feel
Know use the keypad of your mind and try and delete them
I hope this helps my sister
