To the sky you reach out your hand

The songs of the clouds

Call you to distant lands

To the wind you call my name

Carried to the shore

The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you

A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold

The dreams that shine like rosen gold last forever

I wish for you to shine above

To radiate your endless love

May it last a hundred years from now

Summer heat weighing down on us

This boat is too weak and so in me,

Please trust I will follow you

Please go ahead and I will be there soon

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you

A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold

The dreams that shine like rosen gold last forever

I wish for you to shine above

To radiate your endless love

May it last a hundred years from now

To the sky you reach out your hand

The songs of the clouds

Call you to distant lands

To the wind you call my name

Carried to the shore

The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you

A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold

The dreams that shine like rosen gold last forever

I wish for you to shine above

To radiate your endless love

To the sky you reach out your hand

The songs of the clouds

Call you to distant lands

To the wind you call my name

Carried to the shore

The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you

A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold

The dreams that shine like rosen gold last forever

I wish for you to shine above

To radiate your endless love

May it last a hundred years from now

Legacy of an adopted child

Once there were two women

Who never knew each other

One you do not remember

The other you call mother.

Two different lives,

Shaped to make yours one

One became your guiding star

The other became your sun.

The first gave you life

And the second taught you to live in it

The first gave you need for love

And the second was there to give it.

One gave you nationality

The other gave you a name

One gave you the seed of talent

The other gave you an aim

One gave you emotions

The other calmed your fears

One saw your first smile

The other dried your tears

One gave you up

It was all that she could do

The other prayed for a child

And God led her straight to you.

And now you ask me through your tears

The age old question through the years

Heredity or environment - 

Which are you a product of?

Neither, my darling, - neither.

Just two different kinds of LOVE.

my love is here for you.

Somewhere I have never travelled

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

Note: This poem, written by E.E. Cummings, is my most favorite. 

An Englishman's Nightmare (Based on a true story)

I woke up and you were on my mind,

Thinking of the way that it used to be;

All this time, how could I be so blind

From the things that bothered me?

Oh, I cried on the night that you walked away.
