Stand-by


Stand-by
"Honey, I need this",
"Sweetie, can you get me that?",
 "Darling, could you please accompany me here?"
"Sugar, you are so wonderful"
Every minute, every second,
Honey this!
Darling, that!
Ooh, oh, so when do I get to be the 'friend',
I'm always standing in for someone,
I'm always a stand-by.
When the 'friend' hurts or betrays her,
That's when I become of some importance,
That's when I'm seen as a 'friend',
A 'friend' for a second.
Once the problem is solved,
Our friendship goes back as old,
And I go back to being the stand-by.
I'm always cleaning up another's mess,
Nursing the wounds inflicted by another.
I'm almost hurt
But thanks to God
For being the best friend I could ever have,
For giving me friends 
To erase all this hurt,
Friends to treat me as 'friend'.
I'll always be a comforter
To a soul that needs comfort
No matter how I'm treated.

My Plea to You

My Plea to You.  You made me smile  Yet my heart was with someone else. I hurt you  But you were still there for me. You showed me more  Care and concern than anyone else  But I still couldn't love you I kept asking myself, why?  Why you? Why couldn't I love the one guy Who's ready to go the extra mile for me?  Is there any problem with me? Is it that I'm blind to see? Or deaf to hear?  Or dead to feel?  I'm sorry I couldn't love you the way you wish I should. I'm sorry you couldn't call me Your own. It hurts me more  Than you can imagine  That I couldn't love you. I promise to be there for you Whenever you need me As long as God grants us life. This is from the deepest part of my heart to you. I love you- My dearest friend.  Dedicated to You.

The Love of my Life

The Love of my Life I'm far more precious than the way I'm treated My father kept reminding me of How unique I was How there was no one like me I never believed that I was stuck with the lies I told myself Life, I thought, was so unfair to me I stayed up all night Thinking to myself I had had enough of this life And it was time to do something About it What I never knew till this moment Was how everything I went or was going through Was just a path leading to my destination How I was been drawn nearer to my time To my victory To my breakthrough To my power To my success To the harvest time of God's promise In my life For all these years I've been my own enemy I kept dragging myself deeper into the muddy stream But this day, My Lord,My God Has opened my eyes to see The real stuff I was made of I am more than a conqueror! I am God's favorite child! I am a royal! I am blessed and highly favoured! ...

First Christmas Together Apart

First Christmas Together Apart I remember the very moment we met, It’s a memory so priceless And can’t be shared with Simple words. I remember when you said The “words”, I laughed for no reason; They were not funny, But I just couldn’t help myself. I remember my reaction when You sat beside me for the first time, I discovered I had butterflies in my tummy. Our conservation was so freely flowing Like we had known each other from Adam. I wish the moments we shared never ended; The days were longer than 24 hours, There were no seas to put such A long distance between us. I dream of a season and time When our clothing is the only distance That stands between us. Ur journey has been lovely and beautiful With a few ugly bumps on the way. The Christmas season closes in so fast on us. I can’t wait for the day when We would shop for the perfect Christmas tree, And spend the whole nights decorating it. The night which would be filled with ...
