A 28th Wedding Anniversary

Today is a day to be remembered

a day to go down in history

you vowed at the altar at no time you will

leave me

to stay by my side

today is the day you said I do

28 years ago

an awesome day

a day for celebrations

but if you were only here with me.

Rest in peace darling husband

seems death won

ten years ago

and I lost

but I still love you

as you remain a sweet memory.

Lost In This Crowded World

Christmas makes me happy

prepares me for the birth baby Jesus,

memories of the day He is born

in a manger

that is so cold & dark,

just wrapped in cloth.

But then in real life,

the streets are crowded,

traffic jams & chaos,

the malls are decorated,

shoppers are busy shopping

emptying their wallets,

children go crazy,

picking their gifts,

ladies are in the kitchen

baking the Christmas cakes,

while dads are putting up the

Christmas trees and ornaments.,

and lighting up the tree,

hanging the stockings.

Craziness all around the world,

people travelling home,

from far and near,

loved ones waiting

but I am alone

and am lost in this crowded world..

This Is Me

I for one am

strong like the amazon,

undisturbed like the sea,

cool like the wind,

sweet like sugar.

Fighting all ups & downs

standing against all odds,

pressure I have none

with faith in the Lord,

I move on and on.

This is me!
