Grandfather

Dear grandfather,
I love you more than any thing
Whenever I am angry or sad rather
Happiness for me your thoughts bring
It’s true that now you are old
But even then you are so bold
Any one nicer than you
I am unable to find
For you are so nice
Gentle and kind
You are above all my happiness
I just can’t wait to give you a hug with a kiss!

Invention

Inventions of science
I agree are nice
But be sure to handle these with care
For they can destroy things that are rare
For example, the ozone layer.
Science provides entertainment
This is true
But there are dangers too
Which leads to disadvantages.
For example, factories that give off smoke
And all the people have to choke!
And some other inventions
Are carrying problems and tensions
So we should carefully use science
Or it can harm us instead of being nice.

Daydream

Our life is like a daydream
And is passing as fast as a flowing stream
Sometimes are filled with joy
And some are like a sorrowful scream
It’s just the sun’s scorching beam
Don’t think it to be like ice-cream
But those who live and die for others
They shine here like a moonbeam.

Someone

When one is in sorrow
Someone should be there
Who could take care
And give company
When one is in despair
Life seems so empty
When there is no one to share
The one who could fill you
With good humour and special cheer
Someone should be there to wipe one’s tear
But people with such qualities are very rare.

Birds

Oh birds
The beauty of Earth
The gift of God
But sometimes caught
They have wings
To flight with the winds
They fly and fly
Under the sky
Some birds can sing
Some birds can swim
They are our friends
Who can’t shake hands.

Meet ME

Whenever I think of you
You seem to be a part of my feelings
Without you I am nothing
When we were together
Those days were like a precious gift for me
But now as you’re not here
The promises remain unfulfilled
My life seems to be aimless
May be there are some bad deeds
That I had done
That’s why you are not with me
Now I pray
That where ever you are
You’ll be safe and sound
And if God wants
Than we’ll meet again

Bun

I like to eat a bread bun
It’s a great fun
I like to have pastry
From the French Bakery
I like to eat cake
But the one that Mother will bake
I like to eat meat
For me it’s like a treat
And I see in my dream
Lots and lots of ice-cream!

I Wish

All alone in my room
With my dreams and memories
Some wishful thoughts, some fine remembering
I wish I were there today
Where there is love, where there is hope
Where I could find friends who’d help me cope
Where care and affection is everywhere
The familiar fragrance is in the air
I wish I were there, I want to be there.

Unity

We are flowers in God’s garden
We are leaves of one tree
Black and white, red and yellow
Man is one, can’t you see
Come and join us
In our quest for unity
It’s the way of life
For you and me.

Garden

Where daisies grow
And pretty poppies in a row
Where stars can glow
Where trees give shade
A place with flowers
And water of showers
Where else can it be?
But in my beautiful garden!
