Christmas in Heaven

 
I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below,
with tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away. We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones.You know I hold you dear,
and be glad I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory, of my undying love.
After all "Love" is the gift, more precious than pure gold.
It was always most import in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.

A Prayer For Everyone

Every child deserves love
A safe place to run and play
Every man deserves a chance
To bring home a decent pay

Every race is equal
Beloved in God's eyes
When I see discrimination my soul cries
Say a prayer for the lonely
A prayer for the confused
Say a prayer if you'd only
For the secretly abused
Say a prayer for the newborn
With all the battles to be won
Say a prayer for the tired and worn
Say a prayer for everyone
Walk a mile with a stranger
Put yourself in his shoes
Lend a hand to an old one
Good will come to you
In our heads were happy
We go our merry way
In our hearts were all afraid of our dying day

~Belinda Carlisle

~Lyrics A Prayer For Everyone

Reason, Season, or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

My Dream House

My walls outside must have some flowers
My walls inside must have some books
A House that is small and a garden large
And in its hefty nooks
A little gold that is sure every week
A lovely wife and gentle too
Contended that no eyes but mine
Can see all her virtues not vice
And call her beauty nice
Within this small house, this garden large
This little gold, this lovely mate
With health in body and peace at heart
Show me man more Great...

I Am There

I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away,
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today!

I'll listen when you need to talk;
I'll wipe away your tears.
I'll share your worries when they come;
I'll help you face your fears.

I'm here and I will stand by you,
Each hill you have to climb,
So take my hand, let's face the world;
Live one day at a time!

You're not alone, for I'm still here.
I'll go that extra mile,
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!

My Heart Hopes

I was sitting behind you
Blind to the world around me
And watch the sunlight on
Your lovely long hair shine...

Your beautiful face was for me
The most beautiful sight in the office
Helping me to work with glee
Filling my loneliness with your eyes

Others around me in groups were speaking
I can't hear them as if they were unknowing

But in the midst of your friends
I was searching my eyes so blue
For a glimpse of You

But I also knew that
You were oblivious to my presence
Though I, who wasn't in the proper sense
Was searching for a look of your face then

And then suddenly my dreams shattered
As I saw you with a boy speak
And my soft heart ever so meek
Started picking up its pieces you had scattered

At his jokes you were laughing
And looking at him you were smiling
His company seem to fill you with joy
Though my mind was constantly questioning
Why not me? Why he?, With a cry

But then a thought filled my
Heart with delight
Just as darkness is dispersed by rays of light
Just as the stars are to the night
Just as the spring is to the rain
Just as the beats are to the heart
Just as the trees are to the earth
Just as the sea is to the ocean
Just as the foam is to the river
And the arrows are to the quiver
And you are mine forever and ever and ever....

My Dreams

"I have gotta speak to you", Said I
With fear in the heart, hopes in the eye,
"About What?", Asked She
"About the trees, about the flowers
About the stars, about the clovers
About the breeze, about the showers
About the weather, about the sea
About You About Me"

Replies She,
"Oh my dear, don't you see
My heart in its every beat
Is filled with only your name so sweet
Like the star twinkling in the sky
My heart on seeing you begins to flutter and fly
Today I announce with neither care nor fear
I do Love You really, my darling dear"...

Then from my Dreams, I opened my eyes
To the naked, brutal, honest truth
All these were a bunch of lies
Fragments of the imagination of my mind
Since many days I haven't seen her smile
The girl who made me loose my sleep
Whose memories in my heart I keep
Because whom for many days I haven't met
I, constantly, lonely, slowly, silently weep...

A Child's Hymn

Hear my prayer, O heavenly Father,
Ere I lay me down to sleep;
Bid Thy angels, pure and holy,
Round my bed their vigil keep.

My sins are heavy, but Thy mercy
Far outweighs them, every one;
Down before Thy cross I cast them,
Trusting in Thy help alone.

Keep me through this night of peril
Underneath its boundless shade;
Take me to Thy rest, I pray Thee,
When my pilgrimage is made.

None shall measure out Thy patience
By the span of human thought;
None shall bound the tender mercies
Which Thy Holy Son has bought.

Pardon all my past transgressions,
Give me strength for days to come;
Guide and guard me with Thy blessing
Till Thy angels bid me home.

                         - Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
                             (200th B'day Today)

She Is Not Fair To Outward View

She is not fair to outward view
as many maidens be,
Her loveliness I never knew
until she smiled on me.
Oh, then I saw her eye was bright,
a well of love, a spring of light.

But now her looks are coy and cold,
to mine they never reply,
And, yet, I cease not to behold
the love-light in her eye.
Her very frowns are fairer far,
than smiles of other maidens are.

                  -Hartley Coleridge

Beautiful Lines For Beautiful Her

When she laughs the birds feel
That they no longer have to sing
Or it may be that I fail to hear
they sound !
I sit behind her, blind to the
World around me
And watch the sunlight flicker on her wavy hair

In the market on the roads I hope, that her
Eyes are searching for a glimpse of me
But I know that she is shy and wishes to be left alone

Her sweet melodious voice enchant me and
make me feel that they are
The most beautiful harmony of nature
Or it may be that I am oblivious to other harmonies

Those dimples on her lovely face
That lovely innocent smile of hers
Those wavy, silky, beautiful hairs,
Those black, pearl like eyes of hers
Sigh if a drop of rain were to fall,
Every time I think of her
Then the World would have been Flooded Already...

-CSBharati

I Wonder I Ponder

Everything does not change, I Believe
Seasons change I Agree
Moments are not the same, I Know
Gone are the memories
Left behind only to cherish
Like a seed sown today
Will grow into a tree tomorrow
And then Perish
But I know that You will remain Unchanged
Is it True or my Intuition?
I Wonder and Ponder about the fact
That you are still there beside me station

At this moment when everybody
Has turned their back to me
Is it True You will remain the same,
A voice raises inside me making me lame
I cannot forget, You still holding my hands
And call out my Name,
You still hold my hands Whispering
"I am always there"
I opened my eyes to meet yours
Allowing the words to touch
My soul and Heart
But the sun had already Bestowed his Life,
A fresh day had started
Is it True or my Intuition that
You will remain the Same
I Wonder I Ponder...
