Everything I need and more.

A hunger that is satisfied by your love
My search for acceptance ended by your touch,
You are everything a child wants in a mother and more
The sight of you is refreshing
Thoughts of you are comforting
Your voice a soothing sound from pain.
Mother, you are everything I want and more
A gift of roses, I can give
Of diamond and precious stones
And of wealth untold, I can bequeath on you
But a pledge to you I make today,
To love, honour and cherish you
For mother, you are everything I need and more.

Happy Mother’s day.

Sweet taste of success

I recently received the results of an exam I sat for in December. I had forgotten all about it, and so didn’t realise they were out. For some strange reasons I suddenly remembered that I was still awaiting the results, Panic and fear gripped me. With heart racing and pulse pounding I raced downstairs, and with shaking hands, eyes closed I logged on to view the results. How strange you will say, “Logging on with eyes closed” trust me I did. I waited for a few seconds and slowly peeped at the screen and glaring at me was the word “PASS”. That was all I needed, the fear was gone replaced by a feeling of satisfaction and real joy, but most of all I was relieved as it meant one step closer to my goal. This got me thinking about success, and the process leading up to it. Success is sweet once attained, but the road that leads up to it is littered with perspiration and palpitation.

It is not hard work alone that produces result but persistent and dedication are key ingredients, staying the course and giving one’s best at each given task, will without fail yield an expected end.

So straight from my heart is this piece..... I hope you too will stay the course of whatever endeavour, adventure you are pursuing, because there is a possibility that a “pass” will leave the sweet taste of success in your mouth......



Sensational rhythms
Detailed steps
Upward ascension euphoria of happiness
Achievement attained is the reward for pain endured
Leaving behind the sweet taste of success

Measureless victories
Immeasurable success of nights of sweat and toil
Now turned into Joy,
Is the sweet taste of success

In The Stillness of The Night

This piece is to encourage you, if you are going through tough times right now, and it appears all hope is lost, look up, there is still hope. Don’t give up on your dreams, though long the night may seem, surely there will be a break of day.

Serenade yourself with thoughts of peace and assurance as you take one more step into your destiny, muster all the hope and courage you can and try again, for beyond in the distance lies your heart felt desires!

So straight from my heart, this is for everyone who feels that they can’t go on….. hush! For in the stillness of the night you will be stripped of all fears……,

The stillness of night,
Brings a hush to her heart

She hung her head in quite ponder at what the night holds
For her day has been endless toil

Wishing for stars she peeps out,
O what beauty
To behold the wonder spread across the skies
Shining brightly on her restless soul

In the still of the night she waits
Thinking, this could the moment longed for
When eyelids gives way to the lure of sleep

But No! She fears the unknown
Beyond and the grip of darkness!

But slowly the power of a restful sleep grips,
Overriding fears that binds!

Gently she awoke to the brightness of another day
Thoughts of the night griped her, fear assailed,
She smiled at the thought of the star a comforting sight,
That brought peace to her soul

Ah! Though the stars are gone,
A ray of hope lies in the distance She could smile---- for in the stillness of the night,
She was strip of all fears!
