When God Created Mothers

Children are divine
a gift from God ...
So are mothers, too
in the world.
When a child is born
a mother is also born
and her chore ...
her responsibility begins to run.
When God created mothers
he made two loving arms
to cradle us and shelter us
from the worldly harms.
When God created mothers
he made a pair of hands ... to care for us and guide us
through our choices and our plans.
When God created mothers
he made the warmest heart
to understand and give our lives ...
a happy loving start.
Why God created mothers
is not a mystery ....
He meant to share his love
and did it perfectly.
Mothers are ...
the best in the world.
Through their intercession
Great poets are made.

True Friend

People who need people
are the luckiest people
in the universe ...
I went out to find a friend
but could not find one there.
I went out to be a friend
and friends were everywhere!
The world is so empty ...
if one thinks only of mountains
rivers, cities and the lilies.
But to know someone
who thinks and feels with me
and who, though distant
is close to me in spirit:
This makes the earth
for me an inhabited garden.

Friendship

In your smile ...
I feel my world.

In your words ...
I see my hope.

By your courage
I am filled ....

Through your love
I see my future ....

Through a lens ...
serenity path

that flowers ...
with greatness.

Access my soul ...
It is happy with you.

By your love
I am healed.

For a century
we go on ...

but our friendship
will roll in ...

memories for
infinity.

We differ ...
in continent

but your care ...
heals me permanently.

Check my heart.
It is all for you ...

I will make
the stars fall

to keep
you safe.

I will ...
push

the moon to ...
give you space

for you have
wiped my tears
for many years

with your ...
kindest heart.

So long as
God lives

our friendship
will live ...

and it will ...
prove to all

that there are
mortals ....

who
still

believe in ...
humanity and love.
