What matters most?

It is the little things in life that matter most

The first step of a baby

The first time he can call you mama or papa

The first time he comes home happy that he can write his own name, count one to ten and sing out the alphabets...

Go a long way to bring joy to any parent

It is the little things in life that matter most

Words like

Thank You,

I am sorry,

Welcome,

Please...

Go a long way to make this world a better place

It is the little things in life that matter most

Acts of charity like

Visiting the sick,

Taking food or blankets to street children,

Sharing a word of encouragement to the sunken hearted...

Go a long way to make someone else's life more worthwhile

It is the little things in life that matter most

Leading by example,

Being a doer more than a sayer,

Upholding virtues like

Honesty and Integrity...

Go a long way to inspire others to follow the same path

It is the little things in life that matter most

Taking the time to share your perspectives

Through motivational talks and blogging,

Fine Art and Music,

Poems and Dance...

Go a long way to inspire, motivate and guide

This is my sharing

The little things in life that matter most to me

Are you my readers

Thank you for being my inspiration:)

A Letter to my Son

Dear son,

I write you this letter to let you know that I loved you so much and that killing you was the only way to rid you of your pain. I couldn't take it no more to see you toss and turn in your little bed crying in pain. I watched each day as the disease  strived to take your life away and
I couldn't take it no more to hear you cry out my name for me to make the pain go away. I am your mother my dear son, but  ain't a doctor whose work ethics won't let him give into mercy killing. I wish there would have been another way my dear son, to ease your pain, but I was left with no options. The doctors couldn't help you and I didn't have the money to support you. To buy you painkillers or take you to India for treatment were deemed luxuries by the coins I had in my pocket. Forgive me son for taking you to your grave but it was the only way out, the single option I had left, to make the pain go away. The constant noises from the neighbours to make you hush so they could sleep at night annoyed me so much. Didn't they see that you were in pain? Didn't they see how much I struggled for you to be well? To cry in joy and not in pain? They pushed me my son and further aggravated me. They spoke as though I wasn't caring well enough for you and thus feared that they would take you away from me and I would have ended up never seeing you again. I thus had to send you to heaven first my son but don't worry, I will be joining you soon for the poison I put in your food this morning, is the poison I have put in my food this evening.
See you soon my son, in a land where you shall feel pain no more.

Signed,
Your loving mum.

My Wall

So I am seated 

Seated staring blankly at the wall

A physical structure built from concrete and stone

It's peaceful

But yet so cold

A chance to clear my thoughts

A moment of true shock

A chance to be true to myself

A moment I dread the most

Shhhhhh

Don't say a word at all

Can you hear it?

Can you feel it?

Can you see it?

Look closely

You will know it all

Don't stand in front of me

Don't take me away from my wall

Don't break it down for me

Don't give it the slightest dot

Don't crack it open

Treat it as the shell of a dinosaur's egg

Be gentle

Just STOP! Stare and Watch

A Clear White Wall

A clear white wall

No crack 

No spot

A clear white wall

Two cracks

Two spots

A clear white wall

Many cracks

Many spots

A clear white wall

There is perfection and imperfection in them all

A clear white wall

As clear as crystal

As white as snow

We are all clear white walls

Beautiful to look at

Superb works of art

Refreshing and mind blowing

The creation of first impression

But we have two cracks two spots

We have many cracks many spots

These are our differences

What makes us unique

A crack on a clear white wall

That shows beauty

That shows emotion

A clear white wall

My representation of you and me

Rain

One, two, many,
So the rain starts dropping.

One, two, many
I call them tears from heaven
God and the angels crying
Pity in their eyes because of the reckless lives we live
Sorrow in their eyes for the large masses of people;
Young and old,
Rich and famous,
Poor and forgotten,
being buried today, tomorrow, everyday.
Tears they hope and wish could cleanse the human race and bring them sanctifying grace.

One, two, many
That's how it started
The destruction of the first human race
Because of their immoral living
It all dates back to Genesis
The story of Noah and the ark
His three sons and their wives
Animals went in two by two each of every kind
The appearance of the rainbow
Marked the end of the destruction
God's promise
Not to destroy mankind again
By the use of water

One, two, many
You'll be drenched in water
If your clothes are not made of leather
If you don't own an umbrella,
A car, a rain coat or got any control over the weather
To calm it down or make it stop
As Jesus Christ did
That stormy night
In the little boat that his disciplines sailed

One, two, many
The rain stops pouring
The rainbow comes out to play
With radiant colors
red and orange,
yellow and grey,
blue and indigo
and let's not forget violet
After the rain comes beauty

Let me be your Val

Let me be the Val of your time
Let us intertwine to make one vine
Bound to all eternity with love
Mind you not lust
The beauty of the rose flower
I bestow upon you
It's sweet scent
Gifts your nose
It's Crimson red
A color with meaning
A simple flower
With much importance
Making every prick of it's thorn
Worth it all

Let me be the Val in your time
Let me be
Your Valentine
