MY PERFECT MAN

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep.
One Who's handsome, smart and strong.
He's not afraid to admit when he is wrong.

One who thinks before he speaks.
When he promises to call,
he does not wait 6 weeks.

I pray that he is gainfully employed,
Won't lose his cool when he's annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Masages my back and; begs to do more.

Oh! Send me a man
who will make love to my mind,
Knows what to say when I ask
"How fat is my behind?"

One who'll make love
till my body's itching
He brings ME a sandwich too,
when he goes to the kitchen.

I pray that this man
will love me to no end,
And would never compare me
with my best friend.

Thank You in advance
and now I'll just wait,
for I know You will send him,
before it's too late.

GOD BLESS MY COMPUTER

Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:

God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm
And safe from harm
For they're so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.

Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'.

When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.Com

Amen

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you.
And share with you it's beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own.
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea.
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me,
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be...what I know best,
a friend that's always there.

A MESSAGE FROM MY FRIEND RUKU DATED 28TH 0CT0BER 2009

This is so true for all of us.Enjoy and smile as you read the poem.

Drinking from my saucer (A very spiritual and true poem)

I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow
And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches,
and sometimes the going's tough
But I've got loving ones all around me,
and that makes me rich enough.
I thank GOD for his Blessings,
and the Mercies HE's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun peeped through again.

So LORD, help me not to gripe,
about the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

If GOD gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already Blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their loads...
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

When I think of how many people in this world have it worse than I do, I realize just how BLESSED I really am.

Don't be too busy today...Share this inspiring message with friends and family.

WE ARE LIFE TIME FRIENDS

WE ARE LIFE TIME FRIENDS

A Golden Chain-

Friendship is a Golden Chain,
The links are friends so dear,
And like a rare and precious jewel
It's treasured more each year...

It's clasped together firmly
With a love that's deep and true,
And it's rich with happy memories
and fond recollections, too...

Time can't destroy its beauty
For, as long as memory lives,
Years can't erase the pleasure
That the joy of friendship gives...

For friendship is a priceless gift
That can't be bought or sold,
But to have an understanding friend
Is worth far more than gold...

And the Golden Chain of Friendship
Is a strong and blessed tie
Binding kindred hearts together
As the years go passing by.


THANK GOD FOR THE GIFT
OF A GEM OF A FRIEND

There's a miracle of Friendship
that dwells within the heart,
And you don't know how it happens
or where it gets its start...
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift,
And you realize that Friendship
Is God's most perfect gift.

WE SHARE A SPECIAL BOND
CLUELESS NAN

FRIENDSHIP IS LIKE CHINA
COSTLY RICH AND RARE,
ONCE BROKEN CAN BE MENDED,
BUT THE CRACKS ARE ALWAYS THERE.
JUST REMEMBER, TRUE FRIENDS
ARE LIKE DIAMONDS,
PRECIOUS AND RARE,
FALSE FRIENDS .
LIKE AUTUMN LEAVES.
FOUND EVERY WHERE
CLUELESSNAN

THIS THING CALLED LOVE

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

Maybe we have to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person.

A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn't, be sure it grew in yours.

There are things you'd love to hear that you would never hear from the person whom you would like to hear from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart.

Never say good-bye if you still want to try, never give up if you still feel you can go on, never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go.

Love comes to those who still hope although they've been disappointed, to those who still believe although they've been betrayed, need to love those who still love although they've been hurt before.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, in the end it fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND...

WHAT A FRIEND IS

Someone turned to me and asked
"How many friends have you?"
Why 10 or 20 friends I believe
And began to named a few . 
 A true friend is an ally
Who can't be moved or bought
A voice to keep your name alive
When others have forgot 

A blessed one you are
To have so many friends
But think of what you're saying...
A friend is just not someone
To whom you say "Hello"

A friend is a tender shoulder
On which to softly cry
A well to pour your troubles down
And raise your spirits high

A friend is a hand to pull you up
From darkness and despair...
When all your other "so called" friends
Have helped to put you there



But most of all a friend has a true heart
For from the hearts of friends
There comes the greatest love of all!!!

So think about all this
For every word is true
And once again answer please...
How many friends have you??

After much thought I answered
I really only have just one
"It's You!"

A Friend Is Always Special
Because Friends Love you just because you're You!

FRIENDS WITH NO FACES

We sit and we type,and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder,what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam,through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone,as we stare with in a daze
We chat with each other,we type all our woes
Small groups we do form,and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name.
We want recognition, but it is always the same.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt.
In PM's we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships how, we don't know
some of these friendships, will flourish and grow
.Why is it on screen  we can be so bold,
telling our secrets, that have never been told.
Why is it we share the thought in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must,
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces,WITH odd little names.

MY CYBER CATCH

So many men ~ So little time
I search and search hoping to find
That special one who’s Oh, So Right
Hoping he’ll show up on my screen tonight

I started a filing system now ~
I guess your wondering just how
Well, there’s the 'too young' file,
What do they want?
They use fancy names and real cute font

Another file is named 'no ed' these are the ones
With no brain in their head
Then there’s the file of 'dirty talkers'
This ones full and they’re probably stalkers

I have a file called ~ 'what was I thinking'
When I emailed these I must have been drinking
We move right along to ~ 'alright then'
These guys sound like really great men
Just one little thing they forgot to mention
Is the wife at home who gives no attention

So many files ~ So little time
I’ll run out of space before I find ~
My lover boy, my perfect match
The one for me ~ 'My Cyber Catch'

THERE HAS  BEEN MANY CASES WHERE MAN MEETS WOMAN ON THE NET ,IN A CHAT ROOM AND GOT MARRIED,  THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN MANY CASES WHERE WOMAN HAS BEEN  CHEATED AND LIED TO.. THE PERSON IS NOT WHAT SHE OR HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE, THIS GOES FOR BOTH WOMEN AND MEN.
I DO ASK YOUNG GIRLS TO TAKE CARE MEET YOUR ON LINE FRIEND AND THEN MAKE COMMITMENTS, , I HAVE HAD A FRIND WHO THOUGHT SHE WAS IN LOVE SOLD HER HOUSE AND CAR AND WHEN SHE WENT TO MEET HER LOVER SHE FOUND HE WAS A MARRIED MAN, I WOULD NEVER TAKE THE CHANCE OF  GETTING FOOLED.

HARRY P EX LAWRENCIAN. MY YAHOO FRIEND

WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT HARRY,
HE WAS A LAWRENCIAN TOO AND HE WAS A SENIOR TO ME, BUT WHILE IN LOVEDALE I DID NOT KNOW HIM AT ALL, EXCEPT PERHAPS I HEARD HIS NAME, BUT MANY YEARS LATER, WE BOTH JOINED LAWRENCE SCHOOL SITE AND THAT IS WHERE I CAME TO KNOW HIM BETTER.

HE HAD DONE GOOD FOR HIMSELF AT HOME IN INDIA AND ABROAD, BUT WHEN HE RETIRED HE BECAME A GRAND MASTER IN REKHI, SOMETHING THAT HE BELIEVED IN VERY STRONGLY, BUT IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE AS I KNEW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE SUBJECT, HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ADDED EXTRA ANIMALS TO THE EARTH, STOPPED THE ICE CAPPED MOUNTAINS FROM MELTING, EVEN CURED THE INCURABLE WHICH TO MY MIND WAS VERY FAR FETCHED.THIS LED US TO SOME LENGTHY ARGUMENTS. HE EVEN ONCE TOLD ME HE COULD MAKE ME TWENTY YEARS YOUNGER IF I SENT MY PICTURE TO HIM, AND I DID LOOSE MY TEMPER AT THAT AND ASKED HIM NOT TO INCLUDE ME IN HIS EXPERIMENTS, AND THAT I LIKE THE WAY AND AGE I WAS AT, WE DID NOT TALK FOR A WHILE BUT MY E-MAIL IN BOX WAS FLOODED WITH FORWARD MAILS , HALF OF WHICH I DELETED WITHOUT READING AS THERE WAS FAR TO MUCH OF THEM.
TIME WENT BY I WOULD SEE HIS MAILS IN THE LAWRENCE FORUM AND SOME TIME OTHER EX LAWRENCIAN WOULD RIDICULE HIM, I FELT SAD AT TIMES BECAUSE I DO THINK WE SHOULD ALLOW EVERY ONE TO HIS OWN BELIEFS, AS LONG AS IT WAS NOT HARMING ANY ONE.
SUDDENLY MAIL STOPPED FOR A WHILE AND I DID THINK HE MIGHT BE ILL, LITTLE DID I KNOW THE END WAS AT HAND, ONE DAY I FOUND TRIBUTES IN THE MAILS BEING PAID TO HARRY, HE WAS NO MORE, I CRIED, ANOTHER FRIEND WENT WITHOUT SAYING BYE, THAT IS THE SADDEST PART OF LIFE, ONE MOMENT YOUR IN THIS WORLD AND NEXT JUST ASHES AND SWEET MEMORIES, I COULD NOT BELIEVE THOSE THAT RIDICULED HIM WERE FEELING SAD AND PAYING TRIBUTES TO THE DEAR DEPARTED, WELL THAT IS BEING HUMAN WE DO NOT REALIZE THAT NOTHING LASTS FOR EVER, MAY HARRY'S SOUL REST IN PEACE,, I DO THINK OF HIM NOW AND AGAIN

POEM DEDICATED TO HAZEL

Around the Corner

In Delhi I had I a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, years were gone

And I never saw my old friend's face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
she knew I liked  her , very well,
As in the days when I rang her bell,
And she rang mine..

We were much younger then,
And now we are busy, tired friends
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.

"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on her
"Just to show that I'm thinking of them"
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows..

over the seas and .. miles away,
there  is  a friend on face book
that tells me   hazel is no more.
And that's what we get and deserve in the end..
Around the corner, a vanished friend...

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend.
- Albert Camus
"Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

I promise that I will always be here for my loved ones, today, tomorrow and forever!

I ASKED GOD TO BLESS MY FRIENDS ON THEIR BIRTHDAYS

GIVE A FEW MOMENT TO YOUR MAKER

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My duty toward god was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of God to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down
but never found the time."

ADVICE TO MY BROKEN HEARTED FRIENDS

PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES
PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES
FOR A REASONFOR A SEASON
WHEN THE REASON OR
THE SEASON IS OVER
IT IS BEST TO MOVE ON.

Not everything lasts forever
not the tears in our eyes
nor the pain in our hearts
life seems to lose meaning
when love ones choose to depart

the friends we earn and the people we know
may choose a different path or a different way to go
how many people have we met
how many friends have we lost
due to time? death? or distance?
people come and people go in this whirlwind life
can we choose who we want to stay
there's no comfort in knowing that all we have is today?

TO MY ON LINE FRIENDS

TO MY ON LINE FRIENDS.

THOUGH SOME OF YOU I HAVE NEVER MET
YOU ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE REST.
YOU MADE ME HAPPY WHEN I WAS SAD
YOU GAVE ME COURAGE WHEN I NEEDED IT MOST
AND THOUGH IT IS JUST A HELLO
BUT I STILL CONSIDER YOU AS ONE OF MY GEMS
A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND IN DEED
NEED DOES NOT MEAN MONEY
CLUELESS NAN

Friends Without Faces DEDICATED TO MY CHAT FRIENDS

We sit and we type and we stare at our screens,
We can't help but wonder what all of this means.
With mouse in hand ...we roam through this maze,
On an infinite search...lost in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes
At times we'll band together to gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

Soon friendships are formed - but - why we don't know,
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes we'll flirt,
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

Why is it on screen, we are so easily bold,
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell,
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to our 'puTters ...and to those we can trust.
Even though it sounds crazy...the truth still remains,
Most of my "friends" have no faces...and odd little names.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPPY 24TH JULY

I Asked The Lord To Bless You
I asked the Lord to bless you .As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you. As you go along your way....
His love is always with you. His promises are true,
And when we give Him all our cares. You know He will see us through
So when the road you're traveling on, Seems difficult at best
Just remember, I'm here praying And God will do the rest.

MY FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT

wish you a beautiful day .

Don’t say you’re not important,It simply isn’t true,
The fact that you were born,Is proof, God has a plan for you.
The path may seem unclear right now,But one day you will see,
That all that came before,Was truly meant to be,
God wrote the book that is Life,That’s all you need to know.
Each day that you are living,Was written long ago.
God only writes best sellers,So be proud of who you are,
Your character is important,In this book, you are the ‘Star’…
Have a Fabulous Day!
HAVE A GOOD LIFE
