Friendship

You came into my life exactly when I needed you

That was God’s blessed plan of that I am very sure

We were young and in love with the Lord’s view

Wishing we could, of all things, marry the Master

You traversed to the Holy Land came home in awe

Impressed I wanted what you had was becoming clear

As we grew life took us away though we remained close

Life brought us close again though we were very disimular

Unity lies in diversity so it made no real difference to us

Forty two years passed you are so important to my valor

You’re such a huge part of my life whom I so much value

I love you Laura, sister of my soul!

 

Even if it sounds cliche,
I will yell this.
I know,
You heard it ten times
But I will tell this.

She didn’t ask for it.
Did she?
She was thirteen
Fun, frolic and promises.
With hope abound
Filled with effervescence.
Very First time –
Those crude intrusive
Unwelcoming eyes
Pricked every essence of her.
The deeds of brazenness
didn’t stop there.
Only thrusted through acts
More lewd and outrageous.
Cat Calls and hoots,
Groping, stalking and abuse.
The years passed
Only names and faces changed.
Every step outside
Never felt natural,
But then with time
Even the wretchedness became normal.

How can her own body
Be the cause of offence!
The very frame
Which carries the soul
Under her skin,
And offers a living chance.
The soul which lays
Tattered and smothered
With years of untold hurts
And tainted reality that hovered.

The stained trust
In deep recess of…

Friends are those people who remind you that you are not alone in this wild ride we all call, life. I talked with a friend last night, and, she turned a nice Sunday evening into a fantastic one. Reach out to someone you hold dear. I’m sure they’d love to hear from you!

Friends…and, of course, coffee. Salute!

Speaking ill of you behind your back

Serves to hurt you and damages me

Causing strife and ruining our tranquility

Affects the world around us causing a lack

Of love and caring as we judge without facts

Not brave enough to face you with true reality

Speaking of your character like dirt spitefully

To your face smiling speaking warmly with tact

Ruining our community causing hatred and disunity

 Taking pleasure and delight in our own superiority

Power over you not power with, behind your back

We could use our time to love you unconditionally

To see the good in you relate to your true humanity

We all have faults and we certainly are not perfect

So who are we to behave and act so malisciously

We all come…
