A Light Shines In The Darkness
This is dedicated to Cherrie, my former colleague who lost her husband recently from the Philippine Refugee Camp, Morong Bataan, Philippines.
For You Cherrie
When despair fills your weary soul And there's just no way to cope; When you think his life is over And you see no rays of hope...
A light shines in the darkness That will brighten your ways... It wil bring you up again with some rays A brand new and happy day.
Remember, you never walk alone; Friends are around to ease your pains And feel the joy like you've never known. Cherrie, console your soul, don't come to an end, For sure, the sun will shine again.
After many a day when tears have fallen upon knowledge of his departed soul there is still a yearning from deep within for something in life to make you whole.
When weeks have gradually come to pass so burdened by your restless mourning an expectation seems to remain for the aura of his presence returning.
Upon completion of his mission on earth spent sensibly in profound reminiscing relief can often seem out of reach and be nothing more than fruitless wishing.
Before oncoming years in your future holding on to mementos and memories you know that his spirit still has breath as you watch him compassionately.
Only hope in the greatest sense can be as you carry out your days not alone fully aware of your destiny to reunite with him in Heaven’s home.
I see trees of green,
Red roses too,
I see them bloom,
For me and you,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white,
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands,
Saying how do you do,
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies crying,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
Than I'll never know,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world,
Yes I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
FANTASIES AND REALITY
We're lost in confusion between fantasies and reality,
Wandering like the storm on a gloomy day,
Lightning swift force through our weakening body,
As we struggle within to make our pathway complete,
But we coudn't pass through the blocks of others' classy mode,
A path we have chosen only price to pay,
Fantasies have to end and rationality we should see.
A flick of wisdom may awakened us alowly,
Endless virtual journey in the in depth of the day
Traces of imagination, just creation of the mind
The bright day has enlightened, our eyes have to be opened
More unspoken words will lead us go away.
Our pathways, beyond all these words,
We can see what beauty it brings to us
Confusion will soon be faced with reality
For we've fallen into a trance just yesterday
A trance we thought we could long and lust
Beyond Words...I knew you were a special one,
I've known it from the start.
When I think of you,
so many emotions run through my mind.
You made me me shiver,
You made me quiver
That special kiss
sent a shock through me,
the passion was red-hot in that kiss,
like a flare shot right through,
not like any other kisses,
something special about it,
something that will never leave me
it's beyond words, i could say!
and am missing you dearly!
Beyond Words... you have spoken once again and this
sounded no ends but i rather have you say what's beneath and beyond,
categorize each value and you'll see the whole contents of my heart,
not just a kiss or the words i love you, it's all the inner part of everything,
beneath or beyond words, thank you for being such a great friend,
you're more than a mirror that i can see better than from my shadow,
thank you very very much once again.

THE PRINCIPLE OF EMPOWERMENT
"The Principle of Empowerment says that it is not what life
deals us that determines our happiness or unhappiness. It is how
we think and act to what life deals us that makes the difference."
The universe gives us life, but we have the power to create
our experience of life.
If we think of ourselves as helpless victims at the mercy of
life's blows, then we will be truly miserable.
If we view ourselves as empowered to use life's disadvantages
to learn and improve our own lives, then we create a positive
experience out of a negative one.
The way in which we think about what happens to us creates
our emotions and reactions, not the incidents themselves."
.....Bryan Robinson
