this came to me from someone....forgot who......am not responsible for its contents.......so don't drown me in a glass of water...........



A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a
sudden, he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish." Suddenly the sky
clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, "Because
you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you
one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over anytime
I want."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the
enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required
to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would
take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for
worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish,
a wish you think would honor and glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I
wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside,
what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why
they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can
make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

of life

of wetting cribs and night long wails
flinging arms wanting to be picked
thirsty mouth awaiting a feed
crinkling smiles and joyful steps
into life's everlasting circle.

of growing up and going to school
starched trousers proudly worn
birthday shoes gleaming black
mischievous eyes upto some prank
pulling wool over somebody's eyes
coming home with muddled clothes
layers of dirt covering your shoes.

of bristles growing on the face
learning what a man's to do
lounging about dim corridors
of the college building gray
eyeing girls and delayed heartbeats
studying hard but not succeeding
meeting a dream and falling in love.

of starry nights and rosy cheeks
moonlight soft and silent waves
holding hands and walking on the sand
tender love in your arms
looking forward to a fresh new dawn.

of tiny tots on your back
while you play the horse so strong
wife smiling in the kitchen
readying a palate of your desire
exchanging presents on your anniversary
loving your wife a little bit more
for the joy she has given will never be equalled
and the love you share will never go stale.

of reclining forehead and middle aged worries
growing wise to the ways of life
sitting in your office whilst the children grow up
wife complaining about the grocer's dues
sharing old moments of laughter again
proudly showing your family around.

of easy chairs while the sun goes down
gracefully aging both of you
teaching the grandchild how to walk
looking into each other's eyes
reminiscing about the days gone by
without regret for yesterday
nor ambitions for tomorrow
waiting for the day to end.

Promise to

Fluttering dothi atop a dais
abolishment of poverty is the name
of the game that's played
on pre-election's noon.

It reverberates in the valleys nearby
cries of awakening fills the heart
the air is agog with anticipation
of a paradise within this world.

Catapulted to glory with a massive mandate
creates a tempest of a different sort
the winds of change passes over
shrouds the town in eerie darkness.

A tottering wall collapses
remnant of a much battered phrase
it's clear again but somebody's blown
last heard had clung to a chair
that landed a thousand mile away.
