A hundred ways I'm grateful for this Life
A hundred times I'm blessed by God above
Within the daily din of baying strife
I've armed my soul with Kindness and with Love
With pen and paper, in my solitude
I count my blessings with deep gratitude.
#417 On That Poor Child
I think about him, now, sometimes
That poor, lost, lonely, saddened child
Clinging onto those broken rhymes
His life uncertain, desperate, wild
But wild, too, were his little dreams
To seek Success, and through that, Love
And now he knows, beyond what seems
Love comes when he trusts Him, Above.
#416 On Our Late Night Drives
Late at night, we drive
Around town, talking about
Life, and Love, and Us.
#411 Tentang Menagih Belas
Kasih Tuhan melimpah luas
Membanjiri seluruh alam
Aku pasrah menagih belas
Moga Kasih tak pernah redam.
#410 On Chainsaws
Even crazed chainsaw men
Would give up limb and life
To honour loved ones when
All’s at stake amidst strife
We throw the dice at Fate
To seek Salvation’s gate.
On The Budding Grove
Every Gilberte or Albértine
Who makes her way into our heart
At that one moment in our Life
Is a witness to who we were
And who we could become
And who we eventually come to be.
On Puffin the Magic Kucing
She came into our lives, this magic loaf
A puff of love so gentle and so mild
So graceful she, no terror nor an oaf
With tender miaows befitting Love unriled.
On My Finitude, Brimming with You
My finitude brims with infinite You The meaning of my daily joys and hurts When Life can blur the lines of what is true The Truth of you becalms me and engirts Amidst these unremitting, violent days Within your heart my heart, enraptured, stays.
Tentang Tuah Berkasih
Redup langit cerah ceria
Gumpal awan memberi naung
Tuah hamba berdamping dinda
Hidup mati kasih dijunjung.
Tentang Hati Tertawan di Hari Valentin
Sungai Besut mengalir tenang Singgah lalu di pekan Jerteh Hati hamba tertawan sayang Teduh dalam naungan kasih.
