Poems

DREAMS

Dreams are my hero, they conquer my fears
Tarnishes my worries and wipes all my tears
Makes me feel happy, at peace and carefree
In my dreams there’s no end to who I can be.

I can be a princess, the prettiest in sight
I can be a prince or strong handsome knight
I can be a dancer embracing the breeze
Imagination can even make me be trees.

Dreams are amazing, they are so much fun
And you don’t even get tired when dreaming is done
You’ll wake up the next morning, strong as can be
With a smile on your face and an energetic body.

So when you’re up to challenge the thoughts in your mind
There’s fun and adventure in your dreams you will find
Just think up a story and your dreams will unfold
The richest of fantasies that are yet to be told.


NO ONE

No one knows my heartache,
No one sees my pain,
On the outside you may see sunshine,
But inside, there’s tremendous rain.
A painted smile that hides the hurt,
Caused by the breaking of my heart,
No one can see my troubled soul,
Being slowly ripped apart.
No one knows how much I cry,
When I go to bed at night,
Every day there’s a new battle,
That no one helps me fight.
No one knows how it feels,
Too much sadness I’m forced to hide,
Don’t look at my face and judge me;
You don’t know how I feel inside.


GOD RESTORES

On my knees there’s power
My strength comes from thee
When I feel weak and tired
The lord restores me.
When I’m tired from the battle
Wounded from the fight
When I wake up screaming
In the middle of the night
When the devil comes smiling
Boasting I’ve lost the race
When I feel so ashamed
That I hide my face
When I feel like I’m losing
And I can’t go on anymore
I get on my knees
For I know my God will restore.


Light of the world

Light of the world
For sinners you came
To cleanse our sins
And remove our shame
To heal the broken-hearted
And make blind men see
To make dumb be spoken
And cleanse leprosy.

Light of the world
We give honour to thee
In reverence we bow down
To Your Majesty
Because of us sinners
You sent from above
Your only son Jesus
As a gift of your love.


God’s Soothing Arms

Gods soothing arms are filled with love
His presence floats like a gliding dove
Arms that soothes and calms the heart
That hurtful words have ripped apart.

God’s soothing arms holds you tight
Comforts you when scared at night
Protects your soul from Satan’s plot
Make you feel happy when you’re not.

God’s soothing arms I rely upon
To fight my battles so they can be won
When things are upset nothing else calms
Better than the warmth of God’s soothing arms.


Earthly Angels

God sends us earthly angels
They are the ones we call our friend
And on their love and comfort
We know we can depend.
God send us earthly angels
To help us through the day
They shower us with laughter
And makes sure we are okay.
God sends us earthly angels
To lend a helping hand
To make our lives be easier
As we tread upon this land.


The World

I lie on the ground
And gaze up to the sky
Adoring the colored wings
Of a pretty butterfly
Joy overflows in my heart
A smile radiates on my face
God has indeed created
Such a remarkable place.
The power of his word
Separated the land from the sea.
With the dust of the earth
He created humanity.
He created the animals,
The plants and the trees
And on the 7th day He rested
And at His creation, He was well pleased.


Morning Prayer

Before I get out of bed each day
I close my eye and start to pray
For peace and love and hope and joy
For harmony among each girl and boy.

I bow my head I cry out to you
Give me strength and wisdom too
Send your Spirit to lead the way
Control the words that I have to say.

When temptations tries to devour me
Help me to say no to the enemy
Let your joy inside always overflow
Protect me Lord wherever I may go

This is the Morning Prayer
That starts off my day
The first thing I must to
Is ask My God to lead the way
And then everything is okay.


A Smile

A smile can tell stories that words can’t explain
A smile can hide sorrow and cover-up pain
A smile is a weapon we can use to fight
A smile can make a dark alley seem bright.

A smile makes your heart sparkle,
And makes your cheeks glow
A smile can share the laughter
You want to whole world to know

A smile can spread happiness
It streams from your heart
There are so many joys
A smile can impart

A smile can be random like from telling a joke
Some people even smile when they get a little poke
Whatever the reason a smile is the best way
To make you feel happy and brighten someone’s day


Press On

There are people who will always try to bring you down
Try to make you fail and fall to the ground
These are the people we tend to fear
They laugh at us when we’re in despair.

They try to destroy us with their cunning ways
Trying to steal the joy from our days
They do what they can to make you fall
Seems like hurting others is their hearts call.

Press on to the place where your successes lie
Forget about people who bring tears to you eye
When you feel like quitting, and your spirit is worn
Cast your burdens on Jesus and he’ll help you press on.


I’ll put my trust in you

No matter what Satan may bring forth my way
Though I feel like giving up at the end of the day
When all else fails and I don’t know what to do
I will be still and I’ll put my trust in you.

Though the battles are almost impossible to win
Without even knowing I slip into sin
When I feel bruised, depressed and blue
I will cast my burdens and put my trust in you.

May God give me wisdom to choose paths that are right
Guide me through temptations and protect me at night
God is my provider, He’s faithful and true
No matter my endeavor Lord, I’ll put my trust in you.


Your Blessings

Your blessings are bountiful
They flow from above
As a gift of faithfulness
Endurance and love.

Your blessings are abundant
When you start to pour
You make us more prosperous
Than we were before.

You blessings are gracious
I’m grateful indeed
For without your blessings
I can never succeed.


Trying to Forget
I'm trying not to think of u, but the more i try, the more i do.
In office today all alone, i already miss ur voice on the phone.
I think that this is best for me, but right now it's such a mystery.
If this is the right thing to do, then why is so hard not to think of u.

I buried myself in work today, hoping the pain would fade away.
I try really hard to be strong but why does holding back feel so wrong.
I stayed awake all through last night, why does it hurt to do what's right.
I know my feelings for u are real but there's so much guilt that i now feel.

I dont know where else to turn, I hope there's a lesson here to learn.
Hoping that time indeed will heal and soothe the hurt that i now feel.
Trying hard not to cry as i write this poem with tears in my eye
This is my decision..i know, but i will miss you tremendously though.

BALLS

Red ball, yellow ball,
green ball, blue
Four little balls
with what I should do
Should I play a game
or pack them away
And have fun with them
some other day.
Red ball, yellow ball,
green ball, blue
I have and idea,
here’s what we’ll do
Lets form a circle,
Don’t make a sound
We’ll have lots of fun,
Throwing the ball all around.


BABE IN A MANGER

A babe in a manger
In a haystack he lay
The birth of the Saviour
That first Christmas day
With donkeys and cattles
And sheep all around
Shepherds and wise men
Bowing down to the ground
The angels in heaven
They melodiously sing
To worship the birth
Of a Saviour and King.
This is the story
From where Christmas did stem
A babe in a manger
In the town Bethlehem.
