I shall be there
My treasury
Climb the every mountain
You call me
Love
Shadow
A song for joy
The power of vision
I surrender
My brothers wrestle

I SHALL BE THERE.

I shall pass through this

world but once, any good

that I can do let me do it now,

let me not defail or neglect it,

for I shall not pass this way again.

MY TREASURY

You are my treasury of inestimable value,

You brought joy to my down trouhten soul

when I was down with "LOVE-ACHE" you gave me

Lover-quin and nursed me back to health.

I can't trade you for anything in this world and beyond,

even riches untold.

You are indeed my treasury of inestimable value!

CLIMB THE EVERY MOUNTAIN

Climb every mountain, search high and low follow every pathway till you find your goal.

Climb every mountain cross every stream follow every rain-bow till you find your dream.

A dream that will need all the love you can give everyday of your life for as long as you live.

Climb every mountain cross every stream follow every rainbow till you find your dream.

YOU CALL ME.

You call me master, and obey me not.

You call me light, and seeme not

You call me the way, and walk me not

You call me life, and live me not

You call me wise, and follow me not

You call me fair, and love not

You call me enternal, and seek me not

If I condemn thee, blame me not, because we are

just like a pencile in the hand of the creator.

LOVE.

I may not always say it because I cannot imagine words that are suitable enough to express it.

But my feeling is always there that I love you.

Though I might not have prove it in any form (character) but I can assure that you occupy a special place in my heart because I love you.

We may misunderstand each other sometimes but even then I believe the feelings are always their just because of LOVE.

Even when we're from each other I believe wherever you are my heart is always there with you.

My love for you is endless as the sky above, it runs like a river.

Remember that the sun never goes down in time because I love you.

SHADOW

The moon comes as a new baby running non-stop down hill like a river still the encounter tickles away.

Nature got so slow in it's bid to redeem I can stand hailing in vain.

Tribulations abound to triumph some time I got lost in a mind blasting search for what a wasted generation I belong.

I've got to keep sailing on last in the necessary evils vagary of emotion.

Finds vanity a force to contend with.

But the dump must have our garbage for keeps.

Before it comes to night fall I'm born to win for the dignity in a chosen cause.

The stormy petrel amail unborn.

As the silver shadow, I shine not.

To see the moon at apogee.

But the sun will definitely shine again.

A song for joy

Searching far and close,
I saw right under my nose
Something worth more than gold
That makes me to feel good bold
While my spirit is ,
And causes my soul to glow.
Something like a rose,
As unimagnable as a sweet prose,
With a still goldern voice,
That makes the miserable rejoice,
With the envious smile
That causes me to go extral mile and profund humility
Coupled with the charm and agility
That many a man long for but never seen before
With skill and tact untold, passing those of mate and the old
In you have I found real love,
Second to that from above,
May you ever be the world's envy forwhom all would come with a levy
Yet you choose with decission that will not be shortof precision and while you firther along
God will see you through all days long

The power of vision

Myles Munroe:- Stevies how comes you play the most
complicated of intruments, you play the piano, the accordion,
write the best song and you're a multimillion yet you are blind.

Stevies:- Mr Munroe, the fact is that I'm not blind,
I see better without my eyes,
I believe people really don't need their sights to suceed.

To suceed, all we need is a vision

I surrender

show me a way
a channel, a route
through which I could
reachout to this hurting world
and wipe out that tears rolling down her cheeks

I know, I know
I must tread only on that part I know well
else I cramp my style with stinking gibberish
My wallet is flat tonight
please don't count on that

Still this urge to belong
an undiluted desire to serve
yearns so loudly I can hold back no more

I surrender
in total submission my heart cry
"use me lover of my soul"

to be a helping hand in my society
to learn to give without asking for a refund
to able to influence others into aiming for the best
never to try playing god over my peers
to you my king I obediently surrender

My brothers wrestly

My brothers wrestle for fun
when hands lie idle
and everyone's chin goes flat from boredom
they begin their wrestling
that calls for no winner or loser
here we sit applauding
attracting the passer-by
who stands mouth agape
as he watches on amused
we throw our head back in laughter
as each pair of zombie pretend to be that world champion
what is his name?
the way they throw their blows and kicks
do not even match
but still we watch on
enjoying such display of innocence
Today our brothers wrestle
but not the same as last night's
when the shinning stars in the sky
and the motherly moon
litted up their black and strong naked back
today our brothers wrestle
they wrestle because they are hungry
and the furstration they vent on eachother
they are going to tear eachother apart
and blood will stain our play ground
see...
the blows and kicks have changed direction
no longer is it aimed to tickle the other
in anger they vow to hurt eachother
no one dare step in to seperate them
no more innocence in this match
someone has bewitched our fun tonight
peace and love have strolled out of town
will it be long before they return?
