THIS LIFE

The road on which we trod
Is no easy a road
The fight which we must fight
Is no easy a fight
The successes we must chalk
Are no easy a thing to talk

At the end of the road however
We see hope that will not waver
Hope flowing from God almighty like streams
Like light from the maker, it beams
On this hope, our feet is established
On this hope, we will emerge accomplished

love fulfilled

Love fulfilled
I’ve spent my life looking for you
Finding you wasn’t easy a thing
Years of thoughts and questions
Moments of sighs and breathlessness
Have now turned into wonder and amazement
For a moment, I feel I’m not me
I have released the long dreaded
I have looked hard at what I call love
And dared to open my mouth
But love smiled at me, winked and beckoned me nigh
My heart is gladdened, my soul throbs with excitement
Welcome my love, welcome into a longing heart
I love you.

EVERYDAY

EVERYDAY
(Ode to Stethoscope)

Everyday, my thoughts spin round and round and settle on you
Everyday, thoughts of you give me a tingle and a stir
Everyday, I wish I were near you
Everyday, I keep loving you
Everyday, my love keeps growing for you
Everyday, I wish I could speak to you
Everyday, the first dial on my phone reveals your name
Everyday, I talk to God about you
Everyday, I wonder if you love me
Everyday, I wish you were in my arms
Everyday, I wish you knew how I feel
Everyday, I wish I could make you know how I feel
Everyday, I want to celebrate your good qualities
Everyday, I thank God for you
Everyday, you feel far from me
Everyday, I long for you
Everyday, I ask, ‘will you long for me?’
Everyday, I become a little bit afraid
Everyday, I feel you will not want me!
