Thank you, Father

I was lost
You found me
At no cost
You enriched me
I was blind
With no help from behind
You showed me Your light
You gave me insight
You gave me this Sight
Thank you, Father
I was empty
You filled me
I was dirty
You cleansed me
I was beaten
With no hope of winning
You repaired my dent
You gave me Your strength
You built me a tent
Thank you, Father
I had no one
You made me the one
I had no hope
You made me their hope
I failed again
With no thing to gain
You helped me regain
All I lost in vain
All I lost to pain
Thank you Father
You lift me up
You fill my cup
You help me sup
I fail You often
My fall you soften
I wail too often
My fears You crop
My tears You stop
Thank you, Father
... thank you, Father

Not far

You're just a stone-throw away,

But you seem so far away

A distance of classes

But as fragile as blown glasses

For although you're richer

And your social statute higher

I believe love doesn't care

As long as that feeling's there

Thus, I do not fear

As long as you do really care

Of heartbreaks I've had my share

And I believe the same goes for you as well

That you don't trust men I can tell

But I say give me that chance

To be the Prince bearing that lance

Your knight in shiny armour

Always there for you in times of clamour

Yet, even if we're just inches apart

There seems to be this abyss between us

That keeps your wariness alert

Like the hundred-eyed Argus

For even if I eternally play my part

Love needs two to make a clear start

And like a lullaby in a maelstrom

One voice isn't enough to overcome the storm

I know you see the warmth in my eyes

And I pray it melts that heart carved of ice

For without your love, the world is full of lies

Without you my happiness painfully dies

Even if we're worlds apart

From my heart you shall never depart

Unshareable

Tope says:

I can't share you with anybody

cos you're not just a property

not something to be toyed with

and then shared with the person next-seat

you're an angel my dear

an angel I cannot bring myself to share

cos you've come to make my life better

and I want you to stay with me; forever

Now, choose between him and I

you are my heart, the apple of my eye

choosing him could kill me

but if you do, so shall it be

then you become his

and I do not deserve a parting kiss

cos I do not want to share you

I swear, under the skies so blue

I love no other as I do you, it's true

I wish we could share that fiery fire anew

but I do not want to share you, in anyway

so, you could either go or stay

and as much as I prefer the later

Alas, in your hands lie the matter
