Change

The world looks brighter
I could see smiling faces all around
They were kind and friendly
And made me feel good
It was not very long back
That these faces had a frown
And weren’t too kind
But they had changed, and it made me happy
I looked again and found that they were the same
It didn’t take me long to realize
That it was me who had changed!!

He

The day was bright and pleasant
There was laughter and happiness

Suddenly my world shook
And there was fury

I was in the abyss again
All alone in the dark

I looked for some known faces
But there were none

I was all alone in the darkest of the darkness
And I looked up to Him for help

He was there for me as always
He scooped me in his arms and brought me up yet again!

Helpless

I was trying to sleep when he rushed in
He said there was a snake in our guest room

I didn’t believe him at first, thought it was one of his pranks
But no, there really was a snake

Our aunt and her two sons were in the room
I was worried. They were still inside but were calm

I could see them through the window
The snake was trying to escape from under the door

It was not trying to attack nevertheless we were panicking
And ready to attack it and kill!

It sensed our intention and quickly retreated inside
And hid behind the chest of draw

Instead of helping it get out safely
I handed him a stick which he asked for

He hit it and killed it, never to want it inside our house again
And I watched helplessly with a heavy heart

Wishing I had the courage to let the poor creature go without hurting it!

Lonely

The boys were gone and I was alone
It felt like my world was crumbling down

It was darkness all around
Life became still and I froze

I looked for some light
There wasnt any ray of hope

I fumbled, struggling to be on my feet
I turned back and started to retreat

I was choking and felt so heavy with grief
When suddenly I felt two little hands on my arms

I turned around and saw the two smiling faces
I was back in my world.

The Men n the Machine

They came, the Men with the Machine
They were loud and mean
They woke up the whole neighbourhood
And took away our homes

Yes, they were loud and mean
Who never cared for our life
I flew away with my friend
And perched on the nearby wall

As we sat looking at the place
Which was ours until a while ago
We wondered where to find a home again
We looked afar but found no place to go

There were no green, no trees or bushes
It was all tall towers of concrete and glass
This wasnt how god had made it
But its the Men and their Machine that made us homeless overnight.

Thank you

There's a new dawn , a new song
A cool gentle breeze caressing the face

There's a new joy and laughter
A whole new world that i belong

There's a new strength, a greater resolve
A helping hand waiting to take you ashore

There's a new light and new way
A sweet tender smile straight from the soul

There's beauty all around, it's lovely
A heart filled with happiness and love

There's no escape, nowhere to hide
And here's a thank you for making me feel the way i do.
