* Awaken*

I dreamt it was time to face the day,
Wake up, and rise and shine.
When my spirit was caught,
In unending space,
And hurriedly rushed home.

With unspeakable speed
I saw it glide,
Through rushing airy realms,
To inhabit once more,
This mortal flesh,
This body in repose.

I felt my soul had traveled,
Through brightly gleaming spheres.
And as on wings, it soared and flew,
To untold heights and places,
And worlds I never knew.
AGDL, 1989

*Destiny*

This isn't the house I wanted,
But I've lived here for seven years.
I've filled it up with all my things,
Those precious and priceless treasures.

This is the man I wanted.
But my father implored me,
" Please let him be"
"Child don't marry the enemy"
He didn't know and wouldn't see,
How his love enraptured me.
.
This wasn't the country I wanted.
The places I wanted to see,
Were France, Greece and Italy.
But God had better plans for me.

And this is a jewel box of a house,
We have filled it up with love.
And I have a treasure of a man,
His tender caring has no end.
And this is the greatest of all lands,
My country, my hearth, my home.
