The Beautiful Of World.

 THE BEAUTIFUL OF WORLD

Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful World,
With the wonderful water round you curled,
And the wonderful grass upon your breast,
World, you are beautifully dressed.

The wonderful air is over me,
And the wonderful wind is shaking the tree
It walks on the water, and whirls the mills,
And talks to itself on the top of the hills.

You friendly Earth, how far do you go,
With the wheat fields that nod and the rivers that flow,
With cities and gardens and cliffs and isles,
And the people upon you for thousands of miles?

Ah! you are so great, and I am so small,
I hardly can think of you, World, at all;
And yet, when I said my prayers today,
My mother kissed me, and said, quite gay,

"If the wonderful world is great to you,
And great to Father and Mother, too,
You are more than the Earth, though you are such a dot!
You can love and think, and the Earth cannot!"This Beautiful World
.

THE BEAUTIFUL MOON.

     The half moon shows a face of plaintive sweetness
    Ready and poised to wax or wane;
A fire of pale desire in incompleteness,
    Tending to pleasure or to pain:-
Lo, while we gaze she rolleth on in fleetness
    To perfect loss or perfect gain.
Half bitterness we know, we know half sweetness;
    This world is all on wax, on wane:
When shall completeness round time's incompleteness,
    Fulfilling joy, fulfilling pain?-
Lo, while we ask, life rolleth on in fleetness
    To finished loss or finished gain.

THE BEAUTIFUL RIVER.

THE BEAUTIFUL RIVER

The river’s a wanderer, a nomad, a tramp.
He doesn't choose any one place to set up his camp.

The river’s a winder, through valley and hill.
He twists and he turns, he just cannot be still.

The river’s a hoarder and he buries down deep
Those little treasures that he wants to keep.

The river’s a baby, he gurgles and hums
And sounds like he’s happily sucking his thumbs.

The river’s a singer, as he dances along
The countryside echoes the notes of his song.

The river’s a monster, hungry and vexed
He’s gobbled up trees and he’ll swallow you next.

THE TEACHER'S DAY.

 HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY

I'm so excited, I can hardly speak!t
New things to do, new friends to mee--

The Nature Of My Life.

THE NATURE OF MY LIFE

  A girl was young
She walk's alone
With her friends
Until they're gone

She took a walk along
the shore
Which was so hot
and wet much more

She saw a man had seen before
When she approached he asked for -more
A thundred flowers blowed in sparks
When love joined they to be a part

He slipped away from lonely arms
From girlfriend's eyes and lovely heart
He used her love to take her prime
And turned to dusst her firelights

We always mistake
The time is our curse
I couldn't explain
How to take away the pain
Time can't be back, for what
It's so unjustice like that
Our curse is in me
Don't know how to live…

Children under, say, ten, shouldn't know
that the universe is ever-expanding,
inexorably pushing into the vacuum, galaxies
swallowed by galaxies, whole
solar systems collapsing, all of it
acted out in silence. At ten we are still learning
the rules of cartoon animation,

that if a man draws a door on a rock
only he can pass through it.
Anyone else who tries

will crash into the rock. Ten-year-olds
should stick with burning houses, car wrecks,
ships going down -- earthbound, tangible
disasters, arenas
where they can be heroes. You can run
back into a burning house, sinking ships
have lifeboats, the trucks will come
with their ladders, if you jump
you will be saved. A child
places her hand on the roof of a schoolbus,
& drives across a city of sand. She knows
the exact spot it will skid, at which point
the bridge will give, who will swim to safety
& who will be pulled under by sharks. She will learn
that if a man runs off the edge of a cliffhe will not fall

THE FLUTE

There's something about the flutes in Milwaukee
They make me want to fall in love.

There's something about that smooth polished silver,
That lifts my heart so high above.

Energy fills my every breath, when I hear their sweetest high tones.
Perhaps these feelings are too hard to let go.
When Milwaukee flutes use their sweet vibrato.

I'm weak when the lips and the head joint connect
Maybe it's the Lake Affect?

Without their flute so sweet,
My heart could never beat.

THE COIN

Four bright coins shining at me,
The first one said, "I'm a penny you see."
The second one said, "How do you do?
I'm called a nickel, and I'm bigger than you!"
The third one said, "You're both small stuff,
If you want to buy something, you're not enough!
But look at me, I'm small, and I shine,
I can buy something cuz I'm a dime."
The last coin looked at them all and laughed,
"All of you together don't measure up to me,
Cuz I'm a quarter, can't you see?"

THE  LOVE SMILE

The sun glistens on the water 
Making it sparkle and shine 
It almost seems alive to me 
This touches my heart 

I hear a loon cry 
All alone in the night 
Her song haunts me 
This touches my heart 

I see a rose growing in a bed of sand 
Struggling to survive 
It seems to cry out for help to me 
This touches my heart 

I hold a new born baby in my arms 
Opening it's eyes to a strange new world 
It's crying for it's mother 
This touches my heart. 

All of these things touch my heart 
But none near as much 
As when I see you smile

Love Flowers

as a Cloud,~I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth, "I Wandered Lonely " 18

The Rain

wash the blood that stained my clothes.
Rain, Rain
Come todayRain, Rainme
Come today,
Co,
Come wash the tears that stained my face.
Rain, Rain
Come today,
Come wash all this pain that won’t go away.
Rain, Rain
Come today,
Come wash all of my scars away.
Rain, Rain
Come today,
Come wash all my memories away.
Rain, Rain,
Come in and play,
So maybe i can rest one day.
Because
Rain, Rain
Don’t [...]

Mothers Day

 April has been full of tough challenges for me. My daughter was sick twice in just 3 weeks, then things started to break down in the house. My mum was away for a much deserved 2-week long holiday, and by chance, hubby was sent outstation for a whole week for work assignment. So I was left alone at home to manage the household & my daughter. Needless to say, all these left me in a very sleep deprived state, exhausted both physical & mind. God only knows how thankful I was when my hubby finally came home, and a week later, my mum. Dealing with a sick child all alone was just not fun at all. If you’re a mother, you’ll know what I mean.

I’ve been struggling with time management, especially for my work these past few weeks. The amount of backlog is piling up beyond controllable state, and I’m drowning. Clients are waiting for their images to be edited & delivered, whilst I had to peel myself away from my working hours to deal with the said unexpected situations. I had to pull extra hours after midnight so I can get some work done which pretty much made me a zombie after a few days.

Well… things are starting to settle again, although not everything yet. As I’m typing this, my girl’s in the bedroom sleeping with a mild fever AGAIN. Just few days after she recovered from her cough & flu. I’m dumbfounded. What have I done wrong? She’s been sick 1 week, well 1 week, then sick another week, well just few days, then sick again???

Then I realized this IS the life of a mother who loves her child so much so that she’d do anything for her child. As I also realized I’ve not updated this blog for such a long time, I thought to myself, it’s time to just post something which is close to heart. Motherhood.

In the midst of all that had happened, I’ve forgotten my plan to post a Mother’s Day post! Then I told myself, Motherhood should be celebrated on a daily basis. Cos a mother’s job does not have a schedule. So here’s wishing all mothers (and mothers-to-be) a Blessed Mother’s Day 2011. Everyday…

We as mothers will continue to be strong, tirelessly juggling between everything that is important in our lives, in our child’s life, in our family’s life. I’m lucky I have a strong network of mommy friends who are always there to support me, mostly emotionally. Even a short message of “Be Strong” or “You can do it!” or “Hugs” does an amazing effect of bringing back all the determination, strength & strong will to continue our battle in mommy-land. So I thank you, my friends. You know who you are… without you, I would probably have gone insane.

Here are two photos I’ve taken during our recent Mother’s Day Mini Session. Both families belong to two of my dear supportive friends. The designs of these Mother’s Day e-card were complimentary from The Coffee Shop Blog.
