INNER BEAUTY

Don't judge me by my appearance

My dress is not to impress

My make-up is only for a moment to last

What counts is the content of the character

Go deep and see what I bear in the heart

Affection and love shall never depart

A tender smile that lifts up when all seems low

A hug that restores broken pieces when you face a foe

A warm touch when cold is all around

A willing hand when alone you stand

In the middle of the rush

Beauty fades into dash

What remains is the inner beauty

The eternal wealth

During life and after the last breath

Let us be remembered by what we have inside

Not by what we possess!!!

HOPE

When I look around

I realise that happiness

And values are no more found

The world drowned in conflicts

War,famine,terror ,the new politics

Sadness on faces and despair

People lost interest and care

I say to myself ,HOPE is not far

As long as we live there's hope somewhere

I widely stretch my arms ,breathe deeply the air

And long for a new morrow

Sans fear ,sans sorrow

And time will change the page of turmoil

Peace will someday reign on our soil

Love will spread its wings ,tranquility ,it will restore

Never give up ,never retreat

For HOPE knows no defeat !!!

UNDER YOUR WING

There's no better place than a parent's wing

I know Dad that if you could

You would open your heart & lock me inside

For the world is so cruel outside

And you found the proper place for me to hide

Dad ,I am secure under your left wing

Listening to your heart beats singing

But it's not the usual lullaby

You & Mum used to sing to me

It's something different ,I feel you Dad

Fear of losing me makes you sad

Don't worry Daddy ,I am now learning

From your heart throbs the techniques of fighting

Injustice ,oppression and fear

I'll grow strong with many others & defend

Our right to live secure on this land !

It's a matter of time Daddy ,together we'll sing

" Under your wing ,life has the true meaning"
