The Son who errs,
His father will not hold
If sin, such love, deters
Love of man is sold
...

I write to honour a father
The figure that bears my weight
Who helped me walk farther
Than even I can, and straight
...

Guard the pane of my heart
Let not foes steal the peace;
Paint my dream a solemn art
All I ask of you is this
...

Day I told Pa a lie
The words reply like songs I like
Guilt blinded me like the night
Weakness came in mighty might;
...

Prayer, the chart that maps our way
That we should never go astray,
He who is lost the world will prey on
If he pleads not that His will be done;
...

There's a place in my heart
She always has a home in there
That we may never be apart
Forever together, wherever, to fare
...

Tomorrow, Tomorrow
Who holds the morrow?
Who let's today pass
And knows what the next has?
...

I robbed the night of my love,
I stole her from the clog of dreams
Far into the quiet woods with birds
Beside a chilly running stream
...

If you had a story that goes beyond time,
Be that it runs, from a morning, till the night
I will ever be there; I am your knight,
Just tip me that smile, its value, than a dime;
...

Wipe the tears that drip down from your cheek
Grief will not give the answer you seek;
Though your cloud seems dark and the future, bleak
Hang not your head down as though you are weak;
...

Place your soothing lips on mine tenderly;
Time and time again, till sleep falls on me
I feel this peace in the depth of my spirit
It's the way it comes whene'er I am with you
...

Turn the sand until its soft,
Drop your seedling down into the earth
Gently cover it back with more sand
Water it from time to time,
...

Hear, hear, as I say this again
One day when I die,
That day may be sooner or later
One day when I die,
...

Grace and elegance wrapped in fabrics,
Soft beating heart, little hands so fragile;
Beautiful angel, now you have come
Through, into our delicate loving souls;
...

I see the curves that adorn your smiling face
And the way your eyes bat when you call my name
The sweet savour of your endearing grace
I desire your love than wealth and fame
...

I hum your name and bob my head,
It's a genre like none I have heard;
Soothing, easy and pleasing to sing
Like the lyrics of a memorable song;
...

To a luminous star in the heavens
My soul's only one of the havens
I crave you glow every time to see
Be it or not the hours are wee
...

Every time my phone beeped
Precious texts, like wine, I sipped
Your wishes and prayers
Your unflinching love stockpiled in layers;
...

Weep not, child
Life will tend you mild
Albeit, ill, I lie
Wipe dry your teary eye.
...

Choice, a scale that tilts
Could leave you smile or guilts
Someday you'll make it
But hope it will make fit
...
