Then the dawn broke the darkness,
With beams from the rising sun,
Tearing the iron sheath worn by ‘nightness',
And her brilliant face was shown.

BRAVO FR HENRI
When a father is talked about,
He’s sure perceived without a doubt;
In a priest who among us stays,
...
God works through men and instruments - his priests,
Who from time immemorial pour their lives,
Like the Kingly master sorely opprest,
Who though killed in his youth his message still thrives.
...
Society seems to have gone wild,
And man can’t pretend to be mild;
Many shunning God’s law have strayed,
Into the abyss there to stay.
...
The saviour from on high,
Descended to the earth,
To free man from his sigh.
...
One thing that drives children mad,
Is go through that really bad,
Experience of having to live,
Without father or mother.
...
A thing in the human breast,
That leaves him partially dumb,
For when in love he scarcely can rest,
As this thing makes him ever ready to jump.
...
O how good! O how blessed,
When brothers in unity,
And towards the same goal press,
With joy, love, and dignity.
...
From Jules peters, Pius thou true received,
A task thou would never have sure perceived;
To lead the mighty diocese forward,
For no gain but a heavenly reward.
...
Gone? No!Too soon
Without notice? We hatched great plans
cruelty, haven't you any limit?
I bleed, my heart bleeds
...
At the prime of life,
When all seems to glitter
Hatched plans becoming real,
And the sun beginning to shine.
...
It's Friday, happy Friday,
Suits are resting.
It's Friday, sweet Friday,
...

The Fair Lady
Then the dawn broke the darkness,
With beams from the rising sun,
Tearing the iron sheath worn by ‘nightness',
And her brilliant face was shown.
Like bees seeking the nectar,
All young and old passersby,
Watched and poignant words uttered,
For the gem, none could avoid as they passed by.
The curly dark afro,
Rolling down her shoulders,
Made men to look to and fro,
Hoping none would see them shudder.
Her eyes blue as apearl,
Were scarce to find elsewhere,
Her lips glowing as if decked with gel,
Inviting enough any to her sphere.
But who would dare,
For the cute are somewhatfinicky,
And lads fear the shame to bear,
And so must approach with hearts panicky.
Then jettisoningthe fear feeling,
He wore the courage even if ‘dutch',
Approaching the ‘orange' through the peelings,
To his utter shock, they clicked and for aye.
