My Mom, My Hero

My Mom, My Hero

 

Kay:  

She is like none other; A true gem amidst the lot

Though my words lack the capacity to encapsulate her ever glorious beauty

I shudder at the thought of not giving honour to whom it is due

She has been the rock; my shield in all times of need

She’s my one and only, my mom, my hero

 

Jnr:  

I sit at the shores of happiness; listening, thinking, praying

Breathing in the chilly breeze, I am lost in space

I keep on wondering; and I keep thinking,

How possibly could I be this lucky?

I am smiling without end; my heart is full of songs


Kay:

In my weakest moments as an infant, you were always there to shoulder me

You wiped my tears, you pat me on the back and never forgot to smile at me

You tucked me in when I was scared; in your arms I felt most at home

My first friend, my first choice, my first crush, my first love

The pinnacle of my happiness and that’s all you mom

 

Jnr:

My hero, I dream of becoming at least a half measure of the person you are

A woman of class, a woman of honour,

A religious woman, a virtuous woman

Your principles, teachings and words of encouragement are out of this world

Your wisdom might as well parallel Solomon himself

 

Kay:   

Some people are special, few are unique but there’s just one of you

Jnr:   

Absolutely no one can take your place in my heart

Kay:  

Hell no! None even come close

Jnr:   

I count myself the luckiest to be born to you; to be able to call you mom

Kay and Jnr: 

We love you mom, you are our hero!!!!!!!!!


Happy Mothers' Day to all out there!!!!!!!

The Feeling

THE FEELING

We’ve all been through that phase
Some more than others but yeah all been to that same place
The smile that spreads across when you think about that one face
And how we get friends yelling ‘earth to dumb dumb’ cos someone got lost in space
It’s difficult to describe but at the same time difficult to deny
The silly way we look *sigh* when we try to hide it with a lie
Wish I could explain it folks, believe me I have tried
Think I’ll call it the feeling and I believe its back in my life

 

Like I said, this aint the first time I’ve been on this path
And like before the feeling is overwhelming, déjà vu almost made me laugh
What is it with this feeling anyway? This is too tough to grasp
Seriously, got me up to a stump more times than a test in math?
It is truly amazing when you get the equation right
At the same time the most horrible of feelings when one party turns off the light
The feeling can be really scary but definitely worth the fight
For it’s the path I believe to finding the love of your life

 

The message of the feeling is one of selflessness and purpose
It goes deeper beyond the feelings of butterflies and being nervous
Honestly it’s pretty easy to join the crowd in their one key chorus
How wallowing in the false illusions and perceptions mimicking the feeling can be so perilous
In truth, the feeling should make you calm and understanding,
Gentle and forgiving, always insisting on the right thing
The feeling sparks a flame that will forever go on burning
Just as the Father with His church, you will never see the ending

Figures


Again I am back in this exact same spot
Figured things would turn out different this time
Finally someone I could label as mine
Just like the 1st time, there was this glow behind her eyes that caught my attention
A beautiful aurora, filled with amazing lights that only I could seemingly see
Consequent conversations revealed a young lady, with so much untapped potential, in need of guidance
I felt her pain and disappointments
I provided that shoulder to cry on
I understood her more than I felt was possible
As a man of composure, her smile quickly became my kryptonite
But unlike superman, I drew closer
figuring I could help her reach her full potential
Figuring that I could somehow get her to feel the tune my heart was playing
Figuring I could be her friend, her hero, her love
Funny I figured things would turn out different
As If caught in a trance, I stood still as history repeated itself
I watched in dismay as the sun set and reality slapped me in the face
Suddenly I found myself panting in my bed in a hotel room
Turns out all I figured was a figment of my imagination

Finding myself in you

Finding myself in you

My life has been a story; a journey without a destination
I kept wondering in this sea of sands; looking under every grain
Scorched by the angry sun; bitten by frosty nights
Beaten like a cowardly dog; I kept running with my tail in between my legs

I have kept roaming this earth; sailing the seven seas 
Seeking answers; seeking a reason for my existence; searching for my name
I have been looking for the magic mirror
Only he can tell my fate; explain my name; so I thought

I couldn’t be more wrong; I had been looking in the wrong place
I sort magic, I sort answers; I sort my identity
I sort my path; I sort my life’s course; my divine highway
An errand for fools maybe; but I am but a humble fool

Then I found you; or did I find me?
I found the answers to all my questions
A bridge to happiness; the perfect plug to seal the emptiness within
My mirror; in your eyes I found myself, I found true happiness

In your arms, I found heavenly peace; in your heart my soul rests   
My dreams became reality; this celestial pattern paints our love   
My heart songs; a living tune on the beaks of humming birds
In your smiles I find myself dancing; in the stars is our love written 

I found more than myself in you
In your eyes I don’t see judgment nor condemnation; I see love 
With you, found a reason to reach beyond the stars, to live my dreams
I don’t strive to survive anymore; with you I live not exist

In weakness you are there; you hold my hands
In strength; you stand behind me; cheering me on
Your smile is only motivation I need; it’s filled with a million ‘yes you can’
You remind me of every good thing I am not; I strive to be more like you

How did I get to be so lucky? Why is fate so kind to me? 
There are tears in my eyes; priceless drops of my heart feelings
You make me feel things words can define; artist can’t paint; music can’t express  
So I will love with every bit of my heart; I will hold you till the end of time

Dreaming of You

Dreaming of you

Time stands still, the moments reliving; playing over and over
My smile is widening, the skies are clearing; the image is forming
My eyes are open yet am dreaming, I see the noon moon 
I’m living in my own world, a world of beauty, a world of perfection

My mind is roaming, seeking answers; seeking meaning to this feeling
I’m thinking of everything and nothing; daydreaming of you
I’m smiling for no reason; am dancing to your voice
This feels so right, I see the light; I see my angel smiling, she is with me

My dreams are as clear as day; I dream of the moments we shared
The pillow fights, the hugs, the rhythm of your heart pressed against mine
I dream of seeing your giggling dimple; that charm in your eyes that send me flying 
I dreaming of watching the golden sunset in your arms, holding you close    

Hold my hands; look in my eyes; tell me what you see
Feel my heart; sing aloud the songs its yelling
Feel my pulse; feel the surge in my blood when I’m with you
Look in my soul and see my dream; my dream of tangoing with you

Is this a dream or am I the luckiest in the world
7 billion people and I found the only angel
A precious gem in a sea of thorns; my happiness in an army of torments
I dream of spending eternity with you, I want to be yours and you, mine.
Put on your dancing shoes dearie; we will dance to our dream

Dreaming of You

Complicated Friendship

Complicated friendship

He laid on his back in his bed
Eyes wide open, gazing at the stars up ahead
All the while he struggled to keep his mind focused
But thoughts of her still scurried relentlessly in his head
He wondered why she was so close but yet too far to reach
As though an invisible wall had been placed between them
Too tough, too strong, almost impossible to breach
He lay there amazed at the way she smiles when listening to the corny jokes he utters as they speak
And when she laughs, a wave of warmth always washed him over from his head, down to his feet
Who is this girl he's thinking about you ask?
A very good friend, a sister, one you would hardly find or meet

She tossed and turned in her bed
Unfortunately with no stars to gaze upon up ahead
Like him, her thoughts wavered too
A night for pondering it would seem
As though by chance or even fate she also had him in her head
Initiated by a dream, she was with him in a park
They talked, they laughed, they walked around alot
And all could see the sparks of chemistry flying
All except the very two at the center of what was actually happening
She had a problem, so he found them a good spot to chat
She started and he listened, his gaze never leaving her face
A tear began  to trickle down her cheek and with haste he rushed to comfort her with an embrace
He had wiped off the tear before it could drop down her face
Heads drew closer and she felt the inevitable was in place
And there she resurfaced in her bed where it all begun
And just like that everything had been erased

Sun is finally out, and a new day is here
He's up and ready, with a lot on his mind to share
He's resolved to lay bare the contemplations of the heart in his chest
Determined and confident about what must happen next
Today wasn't exactly his first to arrive at this point
But he still set up the meeting at their usual joint
Whether this was a good idea or not he really didn't know
But staying silent with future regrets didn't seem like the right way to go
She's seeing someone and seems really happy
He's had too much girl drama but thankfully no one calling him daddy
Losing what he had with her would be equal to a heartbreak
But a deeper relationship with her would be well worth putting everything at stake
She stepped in the room with a smile that froze him in place...'hi Dee'...'hi Kay'
As she sat he smiled back as though everything was okay
She asked for ideas for a gift for her boyfriend and right there he knew where he had to stay
They talked and laughed but he never said anything that day
'Cos just as the good book says, true love never insists on its own way

Complicated Friendship
