Just take a look around us

When we are waiting with time on our hands - 
We tend to look around us and let our eyes wander...
We tend to study the people coming and going - 
And perhaps wonder what life has in store for each...
 Today, as I sit here waiting, and watching - My thoughts wander off far, far away...
I wonder if all of us would be waiting here, still -
And sitting around waiting, still, a year or two from now...
 For life is so fragile, and our fate so unpredictable -
That I can't help but wonder: where each of us will be tomorrow...

Finding tranquility in Life

Life has its ups and downs -
Its laughter and its frowns...
Life is like a merry-go-round -
One goes through each phase as it comes around...
One might at one point feel it's the end of the world -
But wait, the next turn might put one back on Cloud 9...
One might feel it's unjust and unfair to have to go against ones will -
But wait, things might just work out with big surprises, one can't deny...
So let's just take things as they come, one day at a time -
And savour the flavours of each experience, as it comes...

You took my breath away

I recall the times when I just stood there - By your side, mesmerized by the lovely sight...
I'll remember the scene, for many years to come -
Just standing there, and gasping in awe, at your beauty...
Imagine standing barefoot on the golden sand -
Imagine taking a breath of the clear, crisp morning air...
Imagine the rising sun in all the shades of red and gold -
Imagine the sparkling diamonds cast on the lapping waters...
For I've always done this, whenever I miss my homeland -
And let the tranquil beauty calm my spirit, sooth my soul...

"Tomorrow... And tomorrow... And tomorrow..."?

Tomorrow speaks of the future -
And to me the future is full of hope...
Hope for a useful life of happiness -
Doing the things I love to do: serve...
For I would love to be able to give, generously -
As giving would bring joy to starving hearts...
I would love to be able to serve, tirelessly - As being of service to other brings joy to oneself...
 So dear God, let me have the strength and energy -
That I may be able to give my best and do what's best...

Today is here to stay...?

Today is a beautiful day - 
Though raindrops fall from the gray sky... To me it is clear and bright and sunny -
Coz it reflects the joy in my heart...
For today my mind is full of happy thoughts:
Thinking of all the happy things that you've said...
Recalling happy memories of beautiful places -
And lovely sights that we have shared together...
So let me always have a day as beautiful as today -
When my heart is full of joy and expectancy...

Yesterday once more...?

When yesterday was such a good day - 
We could not help it but to wish for yesterday...
For a yesterday that would bring back all the joy -
A yesterday where you were there smiling at me...
When yesterday was filled with mirth and laughter -
Who would not wish to relive that joyful moment...?
When yesterday was filled with carefree moments -
Who would not want it to be yesterday once more...?
So let me have the nostalgic memories of yesterday -
So that the joy of living by your side may last a lifetime...

Our paths would have crossed in mid-air

If I'm flying southwards heading for home -
And you're flying northwards away from home...
Then our paths are bound to cross -
At one point or other on the journey...

I wonder if my heart would miss a beat -
Knowing that you're passing by beneath...
And if yours would have skipped a similar beat -
Knowing that I'm passing by above or beneath...?

Well, whatever it is, our hearts would surely know -
When to flutter a wee bit or do a little flip flop or a leap frog...
