THAT'S WHY WE LIVE.
THAT'S WHY WE LIVE .
As long as you live, smile to life.
It is enough that you can breathe.
The breath will give you what's enough
To think about what makes you blithe.
Why don't you think about good health
That God gives you to life compose;
Why don't you chant and make your mouth
Just acknowledge what He bestows.
Think of the beauty in the streets,
The girls that dance in their light steps,
The little children whose laugh greets
The ears to give life new concepts.
Think of the mothers and their kids, ...

A MESSAGE FROM THE SKY
A MESSAGE FROM THE SKY
I look upward towards the skies,
And try to decipher the clouds.
Perhaps they draw what satisfies
Me with a shape that love abounds.
On earth l cannot see what l
Have been awaiting for long time.
I want what can me gratify
With shapes that have something sublime.
The clouds are white and pure like snow.
I've liked that hue of saintly worth.
They also draw a dove or cow;
We have a lot of them on earth.
All that l see can on earth be,
But in the sky, they are quite pure.

WOULD YOU BEFRIEND YOUR ANALOGUE ?
WOULD YOU BEFRIEND YOUR ANALOGUE ?
If there were a man like you,
Would you like that man to view ?
Would you take him as a friend,
Or his meeting soon you end ?
If you hate that boring man,
Don't blame men if they complain
When you are with them or near
As you spoil their atmosphere.
If you like to be with him
As with life he is agleam.
All to be with you are glad;
Old and young even your God.
Man is not by how he looks,
But by what he does and seeks.
Great men can do what most men
Can't...

FEAR
FEAR
I know what kind of place is hell;
Fear is an ember from that well.
It burns all what it just comes near,
Destroying man and his career.
No man will choose hell if he can
As he knows fire and its pain.
He won't take what himself will hurt
And place it in his throbbing heart.
From oldest days fear could destroy
Old dreams and sever men from joy.
It could bring failure from success
And distress from the state of bliss.
I wonder how men can trust it
Though they know what it can commit.
They...

JUST SELF TO BLAME
JUST SELF TO BLAME
No one on earth l have to tell
Why l do this and don't do that
Except my heart that brings me hell
If it does not approve my act.
When l sit and review my past,
Recalling what l've done before.
I blame myself and feel aghast
How could my deeds land on that shore !
I look around and see my state
Which l have knit with my own hands.
Then l behold who find me great
Though l've brought them to such moor lands.
No one's obliged me but myself
To achieve or to come to none.
Now l can...

GOD WANTS A CLEAN HEART.
GOD WANTS A CLEAN HEART.
You wash your hands ere every meal.
That's good for health not for your heart.
God wants your heart always to feel
Forever pure and free from dirt.
The water that cleans earthly mud
Can't clean your stealth or will to hurt.
To have clean heart is will of God,
But dirty hands you can't support.
Thus Jesus said to those who cleaned
Their hands and after some time flogged
Him and round His cross they convened
And tore His clothes and them got rugged.
Don't kiss your mother's head...
You wash your hands ere every meal.
That's good for health not for your heart.
God wants your heart always to feel
Forever pure and free from dirt.
The water that cleans earthly mud
Can't clean your stealth or will to hurt.
To have clean heart is will of God,
But dirty hands you can't support.
Thus Jesus said to those who cleaned
Their hands and after some time flogged
Him and round His cross they convened
And tore His clothes and them got rugged.
Don't kiss your mother's head...

I WANT TO BE CLEAN.
I WANT TO BE CLEAN.
How much l would like to go up
And wade through high clouds that are white.
I get so clean in heart and shape
And have a pure mind then to write.
I long to see my soul so pure
As dirt disturbs my heart and soul.
It instigates the sense of fear
And morale in me wastes its goal.
Clean clouds if l can't go to you
Change into fog and come to land.
I rush and wash in your clean dew
And dry myself with desert sand.
I'll do all just to be as clean
As angels in my Lord's pure sky. ...

WHAT WAS IT ?
WHAT WAS IT ?
I wandered near the sea and looked
At what could calm my nerves and mind.
The sea was calm, the skyline great,
But my lost aim l could not find.
The sea could mean a lot to me
With its low waves and endless view,
But on that day, l could not see
The beauty lain in waves or hue.
I found no reason for my mood.
Nothing was wrong; the day was bright.
All around me was nice and good
But could not make me feel all right.
My heart was missing something odd
Which l felt deeply in my heart. ...

THE PEERLESS HEART
THE PEERLESS HEART
Don't let your doubt throw you in hell.
Look at the sky; none can assail.
Look at that heart, the sky of joy.
It throbs to cheer, and life enjoy.
It's like the sky that is so cool
And has to cheerful life a call.
No clouds can darken its light blue,
Exactly like that heart near you.
That heart is clean like the blue sky.
It sucks the smoke, yet cheers your eye
Like that pure heart that easily bears
Men's distress, yet their sad hearts cheers.
It loves the smile; it cheers the frown; ...

WHAT IS THE USE ?
WHAT IS THE USE ?
You fear the future and you want
To live a life that can delight !
How can you carry that time bomb
And live a calm and tranquil llife?
The sense of fear, once in the heart,
Can spoil success, your love, your laugh.
Don't tell me your heart can live joy
And fear lives there and can destroy.
This life is not for who thinks much
If his thoughts are of cares and such.
That man can never have a smile
And his gloom is moved to us all.
Man of deep gloom, please don't indite.
You will...

THE STEED OF ANGER
THE STEED OF ANGER
Young horse, how strong you seem to me
When reined back to a great degree
By me, a knight as strong as you
And we both show such mighty view.
Your power with great force heaves forth,
But ruled though it has greatest growth.
I keep your strength under my arm
To make it seem pure and sublime.
How great is my strength when my love
Does not allow your force to shove,
And keep you harnessed in my heart,
Not letting you from there depart.
These moments won't pass from my mind.

THE SPLENDID VOICE
THE SPLENDID VOICE
I am so lonely and so far
With passion that my heart will char.
I feel deserted and my heart
Is yearning for what's out of sight.
I want a voice from far to call
And say to me here is your goal.
I love you, but l won't get near.
From far away your heart l cheer.
Here is the voice that you ask for,
The voice you wait for and adore.
Though you know that we'll never meet,
This voice will make your joy complete.
This voice will lift you into space
And there with angels you will race. ...
