Chapter One

WHO I AM


There is a man from a sacred land
An island that sits in the sun
He lives his life to the fullest he can
Laughing and joking, he always walks around
With nothing on his mind
But the extension of a helping hand
Day in and day out, I could hear him shout
The sound of laughter and joy
Always comes from his mouth
There's hardly a time I ever see him pout
In his life, there's always days and no nights
Now that you have read of me
I must reveal to you
I am who I am, and all I want to be is who I am
So please, enjoy the spoken words that I speak!


AFTER TODAY

As the history of my life engulfs and arouses my memory
Some thoughts of the past I must let be
With serenity in mind to the mountain I make my climb
Repulsive I shall be to the rushing wave of misery
Without apprehension, a new day I'll embrace under the sun
Tomorrow, tomorrow please come free of sorrow
Yesterday has taken me places that I never knew
So please tomorrow, take me places I would like to go
On my face, the glow of your light will be reflected
Clearly I'll see the path to where I make my journey
In the tune of yesterday, absent was the melody of the sparrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow I see you coming over the horizon
Into the day after today, I'll fly on your golden wings
And to me, I hope joy and happiness you will bring.

FLOWERS


I am the stem and you are the rose
The garden is a place for us to grow
How well we will grow no one knows
We were planted with lots of hope
That by chance we may be strong
Instead of just standing tall
We could be both if we want to be
Flowers are like lovers, so the garden says
They stay together from day to day
Even if the sun or rain stays away
Sharing the same bed in our life
Feeling each other's roots in the night
Oh, honey, it's such a beautiful sight
Flowers are like lovers, so the garden says
So please don't let anyone get in our way
And most of all, don't let them take you away
Flowers are like lovers, so the garden says.

TALKING HANDS


If you coat your belly with the fruits of love
Easy it will be to digest the feelings of others
So remove some thoughts from self and unto your fellowmen
Follow the guiding light to the place in which they stand
Now, reflect the glow of your welcoming eyes
Like a magnet, to the hands of others your hand will be attracted
Let it be known that a greeting is done by an outstretched hand
Wait not for the hands of other to commute
With a hand extended, by what is reciprocated you'll be rewarded
Like a printed scroll, it should be read and understood
Hands that stay apart will never meet.

MY FIRST LADY

Hi, Mom! Job well done I must say
Strong and tall in your past days, you once stood
Which encouraged me to be the best that I could
As a body of one, your possession of wisdom is that of many
Always willing to share with those you know and many more
In the oven of your mind, the bread of wisdom was baked
And given to...
