The Things I Miss Most

Warmth embrace
Tickles and giggles
Childish fights and tantrums
Loud voices that fill the house
These are the things I miss most
When you are not here

Winter Time

Red orange leaves of the trees
Blown by the wind, now scattered on the ground
Beautiful scenery of snow covered mountain
Seen only on winter time.
Softly falling raindrops
Even when the sun is peeking over the mountain
I dreams of these
Every winter time comes

Merry Christmas everyone
May you and your family have a blessed Christmas season
and a prosperous New Year ahaed

A City Life Or The Country Side?

I love the lights at night
That brightens the street
Where lovers enjoy a leisurely walk
Like there’s nobody else

I love the malls
Because there are so many stalls
Where displays big and small
Entice the shoppers to spend more and more

But I also love the ricefields in the country

Where I can wake up to the sound of the birds singing
Smell and breathe the fresh air
Instead of vehicles’ honking horns

I like to plant flowers
And watch the trees grow
Bear fruits to pick up as they ripen
And enjoy the setting sun

The lively city where silence is elusive?
Or the countryside’s fresh life?
Which one will it be?
For someone like me.

Poem - Concern To Others

My daughter requested help on writing a short poem on showing concern to others and its importance and I came up with this one. Hope you will enjoy it, too.

Butterfly on a Flower

CONCERN TO OTHERS

Smile genuinely and a smile
And a smile from the lips of a person
Who is lonely you will see
And happiness will spread to others contagiously

Extend a hand to the needy
And someday when you feel weary
You may find someone without looking
A helping that is ready.

To others, be good always
Show concern when you can
And your heart will be filled with joy
Like a gift from heaven.

Happy Fathers Day

There was a time when browsing through the cards and notes at the bookstore was my favorite past time. One of the Hallmark cards I bought for someone very special have these words written in a three-fold card.

I Love You

To sunny,
even rainy times,
both stay-at-home
and traveling times…

To video and popcorn times,
out on the town or quiet times,
I’m home from work so kiss me times,
To cuddled up and hugging times
Whatever it is we do is fine
As long as I am with you.

It is Father’s Day today.
To all the Fathers, may you enjoy this day with your families.
