As The Heavens Smiled
Thank God for everything
Now that I am old and almost gray and full of sleep,
I slowly tread on dreams of the forgotten, a softness so deep
Of the teenage days and moments that was so forbid
Waiting for the last train I lend myself to my lovely grand kids
Treasured days of good perfect grace and counted the hours,
To climb over mountains wade through storms to make it ours
Vastness of the seas and the volumes of the skies
Shadowed not my hope but cultivated various tries
Many unshed unseeen tears of life now tucked away,
Renews the moment's of once more a memory of ‘yesterday’
Nights now filled with many years of unheard musical glory
Radiant beyond explanation, tell love's ancient a history.
MY love will always travel, be in the places you roam
As I sit at school, at home solitarily, awaiting your return home
Always at your side, no matter what you did or what you do:
A choice i made n survived four decades more silently through
Into my heart you walked with hopes, as true and a loyal friend
Now reasons and time tells me the journey has seen its end,
The sail was rough but I maintained a dignified majestic fleet
Thank God for the strength that made me not retreat
Kids Gkids are far more dear to me than spoken words can tell
The time has dawned for me to see my real heaven or hell!
each dawning anniversary braved many a rough sailing days……
