ANSA… for the love of writing
Take me back to the days of innocence
Where I love you
Came in whispers of the wind
And the rustle of leaves
Against skirt and short
Take me back to the days
When the only bruises we had
We're on our hands and knees
That could heal
When mother gave it a kiss
Take me back to the days
When action truly spoke louder than words
When time didn't cause tension
And was only apparent
In groaning stomachs
Take me back to the days
Where our hearts were whole
Not pieces of a crossword puzzle
Laying scattered on the floor
HELPING HAND
For every 'earthling' is created to help others.
To learn, to live, to impart knowledge.
Behold! that legacy is geared towards your brothers,
It's to be nurtured, for it's a great privilege.
Though times and circumstances may be blurry.
Yet, your focus should be what you want to impart.
Let your smile stretch towards the horizon of glory
A flurry of achievements awaits your impact!
Learning and lending helping hands,
A pleasant action that life demands.
In all, you groom your wit and heart
To blaze the terrain of every path.
I speak of this with soothing smile
Just well up this action stronger than the Nile!
