POEMS

ONE SOLITARY LIFE
He was born in an obscured village

He worked in a carpenter's shop until he was 30 years

He then became an itinerant preacher

He never had a family or owned a house

He didn't go to college. He had no credentials

He was only 33 years when the public turned against him

His friends ran away. He was turned over to his enemies

And went through the mockery of trials

He was nailed to a cross between two criminals

Whiles he was dying his executioners gambled for his clothing

The only property he had on earth

He was laid in a borrowed tomb

Two thousand years have come and gone

And today He is the central figure of the human race

And all the parliaments that ever sat

All kings that ever reigned

Have not affected the lives of people on this earth

As much as that ONE SOLITARY LIFE, JESUS CHRIST.

JUST SMILE
When it becomes bleak and cloudy

And the sun hides its face for long

When tears like rain drops

From the angry skies

Pour on you relentlessly

Flooding your saddened soul

JUST GIVE IT A SMILE

When the once calmed waves

Seem so rough and angry

When you appear to always

Start on a wrong foot

When difficulties outweigh you

And all friends dessert you

And you become so blue

Remember to give it a smile
