Poems
By Soubhi Nayyal
Giving
God prospers us to
raise not our standard of living
But our real
standard of giving
For those whose
hands are accustomed to giving
Will definitely be
receiving
So let’s all excel
in the grace of giving to those in need
God loves those
cheerful givers indeed
Give as much as you
can afford to give
In the ways that
enable you to live
For the love we gave
away yesterday
Is the only love we
keep till today
Hold out your
friendly hearts
Help all those needy
cited in charts
Be the living
expression of God’s giving
Spread love wherever
you’re going
Let giving be coming
out from your mouth
Let it be taught to
the residents of your house
Give and be sure
that it will be given back to us
Bring gaiety to
others without making fuss
When you give you
bring sunshine to the heartbroken
Thus you can not
keep it from themselves even as a token
Blessed are those
who give without remembering
Blessed are those
who take without forgetting
Beware of letting
goodness die inside you
Proclaim your joy by
rendering others joy too
Be grateful for
every moment of your miraculous life
Enjoy optimism,
positive thinking and giving with rife
Remember! Those who
dared give nothing
Are left with less
than nothing
Take your sincere
decision to be positive
Only with giving you
cease to be negative
Fill your heart and
lungs with love to give
You will lead a
merry life worth to live.
Enchanted
She lives afar
In Vancouver's West
End
Where beauty knows
no end
She lives afar
Where nature is
always in its bright colors
Bestowing its grace
unto its beloved
She came from afar
To make a change to
my path
To grant me
something I lack
To keep my sack
Always full of
Hope
Light
Might
Love
And delight
She enchanted me
with her very sweet words
So I turned myself
into a bird to sing her rhymes
She told me about
the concrete cages
The low wages
The sold love
The lonely dove
The sadness that
colored her days
Not because of low
pays
But may be because
of the lack of care
Even towards long
hair
Her composure needed
exposure
Even in an enclosure
She has an
attractive style of narration
A tendency to render
help to others
Told me about Kitty
The old beautiful
lady
How she nursed the
needy
Now at 97 she's
being nursed
By a lady of a
special heart
A volunteer
A musketeer
Who is turning her
night into daylight
Helping her rid her
frustration
Forget about
desolation
Remember those good
old days
Yet
More to come
More to explore
More to encounter
A lady with a vivid
soul
Ready to be at her
beg and call
So
As a bird I have
more freedom
To her kingdom
Heading with
equilibrium
Searching for a
world
Where peace of mind
exists
Happiness I can not
resist
Who knows
I may find what I
miss
What I need
As a bird I can fly
I can ply
I can help
I can smile
I might change the
world around me
Around you
But not the entire
world
Need your help
To make it happen
To turn wishes to
realities
To achieve a mission
Without any
commission
To do that with a
heart
A soul
A will to give
For long
Readiness to sing a
song
For all
Let love be thy own
word
Let me be your bird
SHE
Met her in a dim
place
Where every one was
at pace
She came to me
swaying tenderly
Caught my attention
openly
On a round table we
sat together
Was sweating but she
didn't bother
My right hand
reached her slim waist
Feeling warm she
dragged herself with haste
I couldn't resist
her so I gave her a hug
Inconsiderate of
people who caused no bug
Took the guts to
kiss her on the lips
Surrounding her with
both hands on the hips
Shuddered for a
while at first
But then I quenched
my thirst
She generously
satisfied my greed
Soon I was in the
lead
We sang and danced
for an hour
Till we lost our
power
Gathered myself up
again
Before I went out to
walk under the rain
Gave her a kiss of
life to save her from death
Alas! She's empty!
She got no breath
She was an awesome
bottle of wine
Who never crossed a
line
We really had a nice
date
At a very low rate
Till her end she was
all mine
Kept me energetic
and fine
Rain drops washed my
face
Took a deep breath
and tied my lace
Rushed back home
with a big smile
To meet Alice, Meg
and Kyle
