Live in the present
Live in the present Not in the past; Savor each moment For life is moving very fast! . When lassitude takes over Making you drift betwixt past and future, Come back to N O W holding the thread, Of the gift bestowed by Him, called breath. . For the past is gone, Future is but…

Keep the faith
Keep that smile on your face Even if you’re losing a race. . Keep that heart beating inside Listen to its song side by side. . Dark and grim may be the days Keep hope simmering anyway. . Always listen to what your heart says, Keep the faith, come what may!

Winters, I’ll miss thee…
Winters when thou ’ll be gone, I’ll miss thy frigid ‘n’ nippy morn… When sweat will trickle down, Brisk winds, I’ll miss gushing around. When heat waves will make throat dry, I’ll miss hot cocoa ‘n’ soups with sigh! Overhead, when the sun ‘ll blaze, Winters, I’ll miss thy cool misty haze! Sitting…
