Efflorescence

Hush, dear heart,

Crush not your petals,

Block not the passage

Of your hopes and dreams,

Trust not the whisper

Of the imp who schemes.

Patience, dear heart,

The buds will bloom,

Forget not the fragrance

Of the frangipani tree,

Believe in the dawn,

Therein lies the key.

Remember, dear heart,

Resilient is your soul,

Lose not your courage

When you face the new morn,

Have faith in your destiny,

The making - your own.

The Little Things

From words to deeds,

My prayer,

My creed,

Today and tomorrow,

I will hold you,

I will love you,

The little things that matter

I will do,

I promise to,

For when it’s time to say goodbye,

We will have,

We will hold

On to little things that mattered,

To you

And me

Together, a pact let’s make

For

Our sakes,

In death, find peace not sorrow.
