Miss you when am gone

To Jody

Two weeks away from you feels like forever

But the memories, the thoughts of you will keep me going

For I love you now and forever

And while am gone, remember I will be missing you

Already missing you Jeff

To my sister

For my Sister Mariah

You are exceptional dear sister

Always put others before you

Denying yourself for our comfort

And many tears you shed for us

A big burden you took upon your shoulders

Yet very young and you didn’t falter

You did not stop to wonder or ponder

What lies beyond the yonder

You did put everything on hold

For our young hearts u did mould

And we really felt bold

For our dreams did not fold!

And we’ll be forever grateful

And pray the Lord almighty

Your desires and aspirations

He will remember them eternally

Every morning till this day

You rise early to say a prayer for us

Yes! You have been a pillar

And a great anchor

For our too much hectic life!

My sister my confidant

Your heart’s fragile yet very strong

Has never withered among our troubles

Always keen to listen and stand by us

In our happy moments and our darkest hour

A shoulder to lean on and a pat on the back

Wish I could have the same strength dear

To lift you to the highest when u dipping low

I cannot promise to take all your troubles

And throw them to the raging seas

But I can promise you one tiny kiss

Everytime you feel you need a friend

Dear sister I cannot tell but do recount

Numerous times I almost gave up

You were the wind beneath my wings

And helped me glide from the grey skies

When miles apart you were my strength

Teaching me to follow my dreams

Always my inspiration to aspire for greatness

My sister my fulcrum, always keeping my balance!

“Siémpre, Helaéna”

To my Godfather

For My Godfather

I cannot boast I travelled wide
But I have met a lot of people
Some have became friends
Others have turned foes

Good friends I made along the way
Some I lost and some I gained
Though I am not perfect
I believe I can be better

I have so much be grateful for
The good and bad times
The memories etched deep
Just like ink sipping through
On the ancient papyrus Scroll

My Godfather,I will always
Be indebted to you always
Will say a silent prayer for you
For taking me under your wing
And throwing me a lifeline
When I was almost drowning

May the good Lord keep you
May all your days be bright
All your nights be brilliant
Even without the moonlight

You never know, what’s round the corner
Till you find yourself a sojourner
Stranded on a dark highway
And an angel comes your way

I may not have much to offer
But I will keep and hold dear
All that you taught me
And uphold your wise counsel
Forever and always!

Helaéna

S. Happens but it didnt

To S.H

They say things happen, they happened
We met, we talked, it never happened
Nothing was wrong, I still liked you, it just didn’t happen
As you often say, S. Happens

Weeks later, through more drama
I want to call on you ‘ma’
I know nothing happened
But friendship happened
So pick up, for S. didn’t happen

From Me

Knowing you love me

For Cleo… with love

The phone rings, the computer blips, an email comes in

The boss calls, deadlines wait, evening creeps in

Through the paperwork, the cacophony, and endless tiring work

I move on smiling, knowing you love me.
