DEAD GONE AND RESTED

Dead, Gone and Rested

Your presence we felt when you were here
Every single do done, we saw and felt it
Each day God strengthened me got me to look
down memory lane appreciate the good times

Some swear by their ancestors
That whoever took you away from this life
Will get what they deserve, but as for me
I prayed that you got home safe and that
You are well rested in the presence of my Father God

And for the bad doers, I prayed that God redeem their souls
My wish, live longer so as to know Father God

A NOTE TO MY SON

24 June 2014 - A Note To My Son

I thought I should write a note to my son just to know how he is doing (not my biological son).  You are most welcome to read....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Son,

Tell me the story of your life my boy. Is it good or bad? If good, what is so good about it. If bad, what is so bad about it and how are you planning to turn bad into good?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RE: no subject

Damn.. whr do I start? 

Well firstly let me say I know dat I have good in me, potential and ability to prosper amongst others but they all turned out to be bad when I lost focus in my goals and dreams because of being reckless and irresponsible in lyf, da minute I started interfering with friends dat were no good, it jst wasnt easy for me to see wats important n right. Ended up disappointing those who blvd in me, those who worked hard to make sure dat I get a good opportunity in life, my dad, my mom, to YOU, bra  XXX, every member of my family.  Wats worse is dat I ddng jst disappoint dem I also lost their trust. Now im alone, all da opportunities dat I had dey r all gone. And as for corrections... I decided to take full responsibility for all da mistakes I dd, I got a job currently to settle da bills at school n ke tswile totally mo di tseleng tse nneng ke tsamaya mogo tsona. I guess being injured lastly on xxxxx was a wake up call in some way.  Wat I need ryt now above all thinx is a courage to face all my family to confess all da truth n apologise. Starting with u Mamane, I admit dat I dd wrong in past, I lost ur trust but im so sorry for everything I to you whn u were being best to me. U ddnt hv to but u so good to me.  I so sorry dat I let u down. Idk wat it takes to win ur trust back but im going to do watever it takes to get back on da track. I realised dat gago monate go phela ntle le family. Dats jst summary of my story... dez stil alot to tell.

Dear son,

Thank you for your response. It is good that you are realizing your mistakes and willing to correct them and you are forgiven for that. I hope you are going to use the money you are working for wisely and safe some to further your studies as well. You owe it to yourself to better your life. You are not alone Son. I would appreciate it if you write simple and proper English words though. Humble request, May I publish your letter on my blog? 

I have re-written your letter as follows:

To My Beloved Mom,

Damn. Where do I start? 

Well firstly let me say I know that I have some good in me, potential and ability to prosper among others but they all turned out to be bad when I lost focus in my goals and dreams because of being reckless and irresponsible in life. The minute I started interfering with friends that were no good, it just was not easy for me to see what was important and right. I ended up disappointing those who believed in me, those who worked hard to make sure that I get a good opportunity in life, my dad, my mom, to YOU, Bro- XXX, every member of my family.  What is worse is that I did not just disappoint them I also lost their trust.

Now I am alone, all the opportunities that I had are all gone. And as for corrections, I decided to take full responsibility for all the mistakes I did, I got a job currently to settle the bills at school and I have totally left the road I was following. I guess being injured lastly during xxxxxx was a wake up call in some way. 

What I need right now above all things is the courage to face all my family and confess all the truth and apologize. Starting with you Mamane, I admit that I did wrong in past, I lost your trust but I am so sorry for everything I did to you when u were being best to me. U did not have to but you so good to me. 

I am so sorry that I let u down. I would do whatever it takes to win your trust back and I am going to do whatever it takes to get back on the track. I realized that it is not nice at all to live without your family. That is just summary of my story. There is still a lot to tell.

Your son
XXXXXXXX

HAD I STAYED

Had I stayed

Had I stayed, would my eyes be blazing with desire?

Would I be starving for your lips on mine, aroma, affection, everything?

My feelings, would they be alive, still?

Had I stayed, would my heart be pounding and aching for your heartbeat?

Had I stayed, would my body be trembling, longing for the touch of your hands? 

Had I stayed would my soul be wondering, searching for answers?

Had I stayed, would this place be so sincere, still? 

If I had, would we be gazing at each other's eyes?

Questions haunt me day in and day out

Been meaning to let you know why I left......

I left because.... well, simply because. I… love…you

Silly, I know

And for leaving......I Hope you forgive me

Had I, would you love me still?

SADDENED BY THIS PLACE

Saddened by this place

Saddened by this place,

I, looked around

And something in me

Tells me that

It is not the end

Only the beginning

And to hope i offer,

My gratitude

*Beginning of a very,

Very fruitful future*

Saddened by this place

I, looked around

And something in me

Tells me that

You are not alone

God is watching

Watching your every move

Well, he lives in you

Knows exactly how you feel

Saddened by this place

I, looked around

And, something in me

Tells me that

My sadness is ok,

It is a sign of life in you

One of lives’ experiences

The sadness will pass

Saddened by this place

I, looked around

And, something in me

Tells me that

You cannot see me

For in your eyes I am invisible

No, no, no I am not invisible

Crystal, I am in the eyes of my creator

Saddened by this place

I, looked around

And, something in me

Tells me that

I should live in the moment

Live in it WOMAN, embrace it

Come out of it alive

And tell a beautiful and inspiring story

HE KISSED MY SOUL

A first glace at him captured her
A being most beautifully created
She tucked her tummy in, not to look flat
Tucked it in to prevent to butterfly feeling in her stomach
Some feelings are just too natural to fight
If only he knew how beautiful she thought he was

He greeted politely and woman I was not expecting that
My ears heard and my soul said "Hi beautiful"
Realising I was in a different world, I called myself back
And I greeted back innocently "Hi"
Careful woman, my soul said

Remember I am highly protected but I have never been so hooked
Not like I am to this being
Does this being know how beautiful your soul is
Does this being know how caring your soul is
Does this being know how passionate your soul is
Does this being know that when he greeted your soul was in jubilation

The most beautiful being kissed my lips and my soul approved
Whispering, "Remember I am highly protected"
This beautiful being went on and caressed my body and my soul approved, still whispering, "Remember I am highly protected"
Suddenly, with animosity,the most beautifully created being took over this woman's body

Woman, that was not expected and got me totally surprised
How can this beautiful creature suddenly turn ugly on me?
My soul watched as it all happened and went on whispering
"this being is taking your lips and body but i will still remain"
Remember darling, your soul is highly protected

Realising how beautiful this woman's soul was
The most beautiful being no longer felt the kind of hostility
The most beautiful being looked into my eyes not knowing that he was looking directly into my soul
The most beautiful being stayed knowing now how beautiful I was
The most beautiful being stayed knowing now how caring I was
The most beautiful being stayed knowing now the passionate I was
The most beautiful being stayed knowing now how beautiful I was
For he kissed my soul that day

##### he kissed my soul #####
