For Haiti

Hearing the devastating news in Haiti, I decided to write this poem.

We have been here for ages,
Living peacefully without disaster
Love filling the neighbourhood
Smiles, laughter pasted on our faces
Though we are imperfect
But togetherness takes us along

Suddenly an enemy strikes
Taking away with him all our joys
Scattering families
He took away parents
Leaving children alone
Took away husbands
Leaving wives alone
Now our little joy is gone

I don't understand our world
This disaster is unbearable
Where are my parents?
Where are my brothers?
Oh Lord! I can't find my sister
My husband is nowhere to be found
My wife, taken away right in front of my eyes

I am helpless
We are helpless
But dry your tears beloved land
A tree cut down will sprout again
All hope is not lost
Our glory lost
Shall be restored.

How Time Flies

How time flies, time waits for no one its October 31, when did we start this November, It was as if we just started it yesterday but I must confess that time is not all that fast. I can remember when I was admitted into the hospital for just two days. Man the two days felt like five days then I thought of it that when you are alive and healthy, then time will fly for you, but when sickness or calamities invades then time will drag like hell, so you got to thank God for every time you have spent and please spend your time wisely.

Smile

A smile costs nothing but creates much. It enriches those who receive without improveshing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without it and none are so poor but both are richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad and nature's best antidote for, trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is something that is earthly good to anybody until it is given away. Nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give.
