A Food For Thought

5th November 2008.
I've been married to my husband for 14 years. It's my wedding anniversary today. To my hubby, these two poems are dedicated to you. Luv u forever.

On This Day

I remember all the reasons why
I said yes.

To be your soulmate,
To share your sorrow,

To share your joy,
To be your encouragement,

To cherish you,
To love you,

To honor and obey,
These vows I will hold
Deep in my heart

Till time stands still,
Till death do us part.


Happy anniversary, my love

After all these years, my lover still!
Perhaps we've come this far by force of will;
Perhaps by what sweet winds within us move.
Years alone do not decisive prove,
As time's a box that holds both good and ill;
Nor can one long be loving without skill;
Nor long be cool below and warm above.
In you I've found a shoreline
for my seaVast enough to hold me in its arms,
Embracing both the turbulence and deep,
Reconciling me to limitation.
So may you find a wilderness in me,
A place of windswept waves and rippled calms,
Restoring you to realms you cannot reap,
Yielding neither home nor destination.



My wedding anniversary coincides with my mom's birthday. She is 65 now. I dedicate the following poem to my loving mother. I love you so much.....

To my mother

on this day as you celebrate your birthday,
my best wishes to you mother
I dedicate, greetings filled with all the praise only you deserve,

my dear mother, my dear friend.
from as long as I remember so loving and so kind,
so patient and so tender you make my pains feel mild.
your hands are always present to walk me through the way,
you spell the words I long to hear that always make my day.
"thank you mum", for all you give,
"thank you mum", for all your time,
"thank you mum", for all your kindness,
"thank you mum", for all your love that is endless.
you are to me and you will always be,
the loving mother with an open heart,
the caring friend with a lending hand,
you are my one and only latest trend.
from the bottom of my heart I send you my message with love,
only the very best that a mother like only you can claim,
for I have the best in life through you,
I thank God, for I am blessed and privileged because you are my mum!
thank you mum, best wishes mum, I love you Mum
