Give Yourself a Moment

Recall a time alone,
when you called out a name;
but there was no encouragement
and nobody came.
Simply light a candle…
feel the comfort in its glow.
Soon you’ll sense a ‘Presence’
and your loneliness will go.
Refresh yourself each day…
within the candle’s ray.
Use the ‘Light’ it sheds on you…
to chase darkness away.
Give yourself a moment,
in a place where you’re apart.
Surrender in the solitude…
the burdens of your heart.
Peacefulness will follow,
bringing harmony to heal.
Light a candle as a symbol –
of a ‘Presence’ which is real

A Loan From God

God promised at the birth of time,

A special friend to give,
His time on earth is short, he said,
So love him while he lives.

It may be six or seven years,
Or twelve or then sixteen,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

A wagging tail and cold wet nose,

And silken velvet ears,
A heart as big as all outdoors,
To love you through the years.

His puppy ways will gladden you,
And antics bring a smile,
As guardian or friend he will,
Be loyal all the while.

He'll bring his charms to grace your life,
And though his stay be brief,
When he's gone the memories,
Are solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But lessons only a dog can teach,
I want you each to learn.

Whatever love you give to him,
Returns in triple measure,
Follow his lead and gain a life,
Brim full of simple pleasure.

Enjoy each day as it comes,
Allow your heart to guide,
Be loyal and steadfast in love,
As the dog there by your side.

Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call,
To take him back again?

I fancy each of us would say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joy this dog shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

"We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.

"But shall the angels call for him,
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.

WESTLIFE - MY LOVE

An empty street
An empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone
The rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And all my love
We're holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far

So I say a little prayer
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
All the seas go coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again my love

I tried to read
I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop
To keep myself from thinking

Oh no
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And all my love
We're holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far

So I say a little prayer
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
All the seas go coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again

To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from my heart
You're all I'm thinking of
Reaching for the love that seems so far

So so I say a little prayer
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
All the seas go coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again my love
See you in a prayer
Dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
All the seas go coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again my love

Westlife Seasons In The Sun

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

Penning Memories~

With a pen on my right,

Much have i wrote,

Stories of past and present,

Of the sun and rain.

Assorted tales of my past,

Of this life i cherish,

Some stories i can never erase,

Inked to a chapter.

When stories read again,

Memories flows like ink from

my pen,

Some chapters are best left

on the shelf,

While some read with fondness.

The permanent stain it holds,

Etches a lifetime of tales,

Bit by bit i pen down my life,

Upon a piece of paper called

memories.

Twelve Red Roses

The first red rose
Sent out of season
The second red rose
Sent for no reason
The third red rose
Sent for happiness and health
The fourth red rose
Sent for gaining life's wealth
The fifth red rose
Sent for gaining new friends
The sixth red rose
Sent for guiding you through life's bends
The seventh red rose
Sent for praying you never tire
The eighth red rose
Sent for giving you all of your desire's
The ninth red rose
Sent for your happiness in love
The tenth red rose
Sent for hoping I'm your turtledove
The eleventh red rose
Sent for igniting passion and fire
The twelve red rose
Sent for hoping I'm your desire
And.................................... ............

The Kind of Love I Dreamed About >3

You have given me a second chance in life
Sometime before you I couldn't cop with the strife 
You've given me that love I dreamed of forever 
Happiness I been united with now that we're together 
You've touched my heart so deeply with your gentle touch 
To world I will never deny that I love you so much
Words can't explain how thankful I am of you 
You have brought my smiles to overcome my blue 
The moments that we have shared the memories we make I promise your heart won't shatter or even break 
My world has changed forever now that you are here I miss you so much when you are not near 
I've opened up my everything to you because I trust you 
The more comfortable I am with anything we go through 
The love you and I share has made us one whole
You have made my life complete from once an empty soul 
You will always be the one who will stand out from the rest
I'll never forget each memory that you made the best
Forever in my heart baby with this love I'll always keep
I'll always have you in my heart even when I'm asleep

You hurt me more than I deserved....all just because I loved u more than u deserved

When you lose someone, someone you love, when they break your heart, it’s the hardest thing you could ever go through, and no matter how much time has passed, it never really goes away. You may think you’re getting better, but then you get a flashback, or hear a song that reminds you of a memory, and it hits you all over again, all at once, like a stab in the chest. You fall apart for the hundreth
time, and you feel like you just want to crawl under a rock and never come out. You love this person with all of your heart, even though you know you shouldn’t. They hurt you worse than you’ve ever been hurt
They stole your happiness. But yet, you still want them, and only them. Other people come along and give you chances to move on, but you know you don’t want to. It upsets you that you might be moving on, because you promised you never would. And even if they broke all of their promises, you want to keep yours. 
On top of that, you’re terrified. Terrified of getting hurt again. But it’s not like that matters anyway. At the end of the day you’re still thinking about that person who has left you completely broken. You don’t want to miss them anymore. You don’t want to love them anymore, but you know you always will. ♥

A Poem About Boys

A heart is not a play thing,
a heart is not a toy,
but if you want it broken,
Just give it to a boy.
Boys they like to play with things
To see what makes them run,
But when it comes to kissing,
They do it just for fun.
Boys never give their hearts away
They play us girls for fools,
They wait untill we give our hearts
And then they play it cool.
You will wonder whether he is a knight
You will wonder if he's true,
One moment you will be happy,
One moment you will be blue.
If you get a chance to see him
Your heart begins to dance
Your life revolves around him,
Theres nothing like romance.
 And then it starts to happen,
You worry day and night
You see, my friend,
you're losing him It never turns out right.
Boys are great,
though immature The price you pay is high,
He may seem sweet and gorgeous
But remember, he's a guy.
Don't fall in love with just a boy
That takes alot of nerve.
You see, my friend, you need a man
To get what you deserve.
So when you think that you're in love,
Be careful if you can
Before you give your heart away
Make sure that he's a man.

Thinking about u..

U r the one who I always think,
I even see ur face everytime I blink.
I really don't know why am I acting like this,
All I know that it is u who I miss.

When I think about u, my eyes seemed to glow,
When I dream of u, I hoped for no tomorrow.
To be with u right now is what I've wished
`Coz it is really u whom my heart has missed.

I believe that we will be together sooner or later.
How I hope that the time and day will pass faster
So that I'll be with u and hug u tight,
And never let go of you with all my might.

'Coz I really miss u'

A girl's th0ught.................♥

Marriage is an important phase of live for everyone

but for a girl its the most amazing decision of her life.

... A girls dreams and wishes for his life partner.....

I want a hubby who would hold my hand in lines at the mall ..or while crossing roads..so that i feel
protected ♥

I want someone who would sing to me at random moments...:)

Someone who wud respect my maturity and love my
innocence too.
Someone who would let me fulfill my responsibilities
towards my mum dad and would love my family like
his own ♥

I want a guy who will accept me with love and make me feel a part of his family.

Someone who I could share my fears, my laughs, my
smile and my tears.

Someone who would not get angry over my mistakes instead scold me like my mother n then help
me to learn doing that thing again.

But mostly, someone who would b loyal to me and will always be the reason for my smile ♥
And i promise to such a guy...i would always prove
his trust right....i would be his family....and i would
love and respect his parents like my own mom dad....:)

‎..:: I Often Think When I Might Sin ::..

I often think when I might sin,
What if the Angel would come to me then?
Would I want to be risen doing that sin?
I often think quietly to myself,
Where will I go, oh, where will I go,
When the Angel comes to me?

What if the Angel comes at night,
With a command from Allah to take my soul?
Where will I run, oh, where will I run?
What if the Angel comes to me when I’m driving my car?
Can I lock my doors, so the Angel can’t get in?
Where will I hide, oh where will I hide?

I often think when I might sin,
What if the Angel would come to me then?
Would I want to be risen doing that sin?
I often think quietly to myself,
Where will I go, oh where will I go,
When the Angel comes to me?

What if the Angel comes in the middle of tea?
Maybe I can plead for a later return.
How will I plead, oh, how will I plead?
What if the Angel comes to me when I’m watching TV?
Can I beg to the Angel for a little more time?
How will I beg, oh how will I beg?

I often think when I might sin,
What if the Angel would come to me then?
Would I want to be risen doing that sin?
I often think quietly to myself,
Where will I go, oh, where will I go?
When the Angel comes to me?

Im Beautiful

There are moments in a woman's life when her heart flips in her chest, when the world suddenly seems

uncommonly pink and perfect, when a symphony can be heard in the tinkle of a doorbell.

Something warm and lovely spreads in my chest..I couldn't quite explain it; it was

almost as if someone had heated my blood. It started in my heart and then slowly swept through my arms, my belly, down to the tips of my toes.

Im not beautiful.I know tat im not beautiful, I knew i'd never be more than passably

attractive, and that was only on my good days. But he thinks tat I  am beautiful, and when he looks at me..

I feel beautiful. And I have never felt that way before.I want  to be beautiful, even if it was only in one man's eyes.

"You are beautiful," he said, shaking his head in confusion. "I don't know why nobody else sees it."

Fear

I have taken over you,
Growing slowly throughout the years.
I gave you visions of ecstasy
While I fed upon your fears;
I made you feel inadequate,
I crept into your soul;
I was growing, ever stronger
As your heart was growing cold.
I let you see only hopelessness,
the hurting pain and strife.
I pushed until your will collapsed
so I could own your very life.

Now, I am feeling some resistance,
I can feel your spirit grow.
I sense somewhere in the distance
You are searching for your soul.
My life is slowly ebbing,
Into darkness I must go;
But as I lie here sleeping
I will never cease to grow.
For I am always in you,
I will never truly end.
So you must keep a constant vigil
Or I will own you once again.

I will lie here always
Creating voices in your mind.
So you must keep a constant vigil
For I am always keeping mine.

My head is Messed up

My head is messed up
What's it to you? just leave me alone; I wanna live my own life for me, and not for anyone else, and i don't want anyone living their life for me. Just leave me alone.
I can't even spend some time to write to my friends without insurmountable expectations running through my mind on who i should or shouldn't please; who i shouldn't or shouldn't contact; who I should or shouldn't remain close with; who I should or shouldn't treat this way or that way.
Well allow me to be selfish for a spell. Have you ever considered my feelings, without me having to tell you what they are. Be selfless-like ive been- for a second. Stop. Think about it.

Im not afraid to say it, I just don't feel i have to.

Just leave me alone...

Let. Me. Breathe.

I am stifled.

Leave me Alone

Don't say a word, I feel the pain,
My heart is crushed and I am slain.
Leave me alone, please leave me alone,
I'll never fall in love again, that's my vow.

Leave me now, don't see me cry,
I don't want to hear anymore lies.
My tears are falling as you leave,
I can't believe my heart you cleaved.

I trusted you with all my life,
Now I feel the burden of this strife.
Day and night, I feel the pain,
Killed by memories again and again.

If you see me, please be quiet,
Don't say a word, please be silent.
Leave me alone, leave me alone,
My heart is dead, I'm just flesh and bone.

Drowning in My Sorrow :(

Slowly drowning in my sorrow
Wishing things would be better tomorrow
Feeling like I am in an ocean of doubt and despair,
gradually sinking and gasping for air.
Knowing life is not a light switch you can flip on and off
Simply settling and accepting I have to carry on.
Trying to keep my sanity and composure intact
out of fear of how those close to me, might react.
Fears of inadequacy as a human, as a woman, burry themselves deep in my head
As I make a foolish attempt to have a good night's rest in my lumpy bed.
Due to the fact that there are others out there ten times better than I,
makes me afraid and let out defeated sighs.
Since it seems like things will always be this way,
its frustrating because I have to go through it day after day.
Yet, when my quandaries are more than I can bare,
I can at least take comfort in those who really care.
You know who you are, and so do I.
That knowledge keeps me from going over the edge, from giving up and giving in.
::sigh::

How I Feel??I Feel Lost (╥﹏╥)

What do you call it when all you feel is pain?
When your loved ones look at you and all you feel is shame?
When your tired of living and playing this game?
when you know your life is meaningless and your the only one to blame?

What do you call it when the hurt is in your soul?
When you smile and laugh but you know its all a show?
When you feel like you've hit your all time low?
When nothing makes you happy and the darkness around you grows?

What do you call it when you feel so alone?
When your in your house but it don't feel like home?
When you look back in your life and every choice you made now seems wrong?
When the wait to die seems too long.

A Shattered Heart

Some say a broken heart is like a shattered vase
Fragile pieces are scattered all over the place.
The pieces of broken glass seem to go everywhere
And even at times seems to pierce the soul
With faith and hope you try to mend the broken heart
Unlike the vase it cannot be so easily replaced.
It takes a while to heal and then you lock it up
You hide the key and wait to see if someone can be found
A special person who will use the key to unlock the heart
A unique person who will handle the heart with gentle hands,
Who can be honest, truthful and handle it with care.

And I wonder is there really is that kind of person out there.
