Time is defined by three words
Present, Past and Future
The Past though important was not meant to last
The Present which is now is the time to represent
...

Words are said, but others are heard
When quote is said, note is heard
When plait is said, plate is heard
Some words are different but sound the same
...

Here as I sit, as I await summer.
I hear voices, "We want summer."
Winter is too cold, but summer is too hot.
Spring is nice, but I must be in school.
...

Today we breathe so fresh the air
Our clothes though not needed we buy and wear
Our environment is given no care
A new footwear is out, buy me a pair
...

Imagine how difficult it is, for a mother,
to give birth to her son
raise him, watch him leave home
watch him serve the world
...

The silence of the day is at night
It is when people sleep and there is no light
When no one is afraid of height ‘cause there is no sight
That is when I walk gladly to my car
...

Have you heard of him?
The rock of ages, the prince of peace
He was called the prophet from Nazareth
They said, "No good thing comes from Nazareth"
...

Oh Great were the days when we sat to converse
Great were the times when we sang verse by verse
Great were the moments we shared in the sun
And even those times when we had fun
...

...

This saying I've heard during my life's span
I've learned and considered it before I plan
I've read the Bible and also the Qur'an
But both of them teach lessons about the life of man
...

This is the end of my toils for the day
At this time I will just lay and pray
The stars and moon will stay
But wont be there when I awake
...

Oh what a good day
This is the day that the Lord hath made
I'll be glad and rejoice in it
The early sunshine wakes up the sleepy
...

O Mother Nature, thy beauty and wonders will marvel thy children forever
It is by thy will that we have the sun to guide us by day and the stars and moon by night
It is at thy command that thunder strikes and also it is by thy wings that the winds blow.
O Mother Nature thy hands work wonders and thy mind how clever
...

Oh what is the news that you now bring
Is it of joy or sorrow?
And now that you have made it here
Can you return in peace?
...

As I sat down on that cold rainy spring morning
To go or not to go I thought
The cold from the weather left me wondering
What could have been worse than yesterday's class I taught?
...

For today has come
But they say let's think of tomorrow
When is tomorrow?
Tomorrow I think of but it never comes
...

The visitor we all hate to receive,
An angel he claims to be,
This angel is loved by none,
For even the bravest of men fear him,
...

Part of my life I've used to dream
I've tried my best to live like the stream
Moving forward, ever flowing
Though it feels like am just racing
...

Life in this world is as short as it began
You can work hard but you can't skip the trouble
You can be fast and furious but the trouble is serious
And try your best to escape the tunnel
...

The dreadful day of the test has come
In my mind there was Mrs. Woolf with a drum
Drumming Victor do not summarize!
Use your brains I told you to memorize
