Todays Child
A child grows with time, and time changes,
But does the child change?
Yes, he changes
But how does he change?
A child’s future depends on his people, his elders, his friends
The world today decides the future of the child
Look upon the child, see him, hear him, and understand him
Do not ignore the child and destroy him.

The Next Time
The next time, will be the best time, better than the last time, anticipating the next time
The next touch, the best touch outlasting the last touch, setting the standard for the next touch
The next kiss, the best kiss, a bliss that fulfills every wish
This time is the best time of all the rest of times
This time is the next time as will be every next time.

Childs Destiny
What is a child’s destiny?
Is it our corrupt family structure, politics, prices, poverty, poor housing or our social condition?
Is it fair to let him face such a world?
Why create a generation and let them die in no time
Is it fair to let him face such a world?
Why create a child without a destiny.
Don’t do it for fun or for a pastime,
A child is important
Never create a being without a purpose
Think about the destiny of a child.

The Joy of Life
The joy of life is living
In living there is loving
In loving there is caring
In caring there is sharing
What you don’t have, you can’t share
But never go beyond your means to find something to share
You might lose yourself in doing so
So share what you have, as long as you can
Others will see that you really and truly care
And they will love and help you to live your life
And give you the joy, that only few hold dear,
The joy of life

None Compare
I have been to Georgia and Seattle
And these places are fun
Cool weather and fancy fellows
Who glanced at me more than once
I’ve seen some pretty face and amazing places
But none compare to you
The way you looked, the breath you took
The way we had so much fun
I’ve heard great speakers, listened smooth music every day of the week
Learnt new concepts, practice new skills but none compare
None impacts me the way you do when “babes “ rolls off your lips

Love the antidote
Love
The antidote for poison
The soother of pain
The comforter of hurts
A companion when lonely
When pain and hurts of loneliness is like poison to the soul
Love
The conqueror in all battles
The healer to all wounds
The provider for all needs
A companion when lonely
When the wounds from battling loneliness creates a need in our lives
Love
The greatest test for work
The most effective way of chastisement
The sustenance for all hunger
A friend in the crowd
When work is like chastisement and you hunger for a friend
When lonely wont let you go
Love
