I watched a young mother walking with her boy,Her proud smile told all of her joy.As cute as a button, cheeks rosy and red,Dark curls peeked from under the toque on his head.His laughter, like bells ringing out in the cold,His steps never faltered, he was so bold.I watch as he stomps, kicks and jumps in the snow,Such an adorable little man, too quickly they grow.This sweet little angle perhaps two or three,On short little...

The cold seeped through the seams of her flimsy jacket and Kat shivered violently. The icy finger of a zephyr curled its way around her neck like a scarf and raised goosebumps over her back. Impatiently, she pressed the doorbell for a third time. The snow had arrived a month earlier and had not left, lying in a thick blanket that seemed to hold in the freezing temperatures. Unable to cope, public transport had ground to a...

There is a tale that when a star burns out, It still sends its light to earth; Through the loneliness of blackest space, It crosses time and the universe.  But did you know the light it sends, Isn’t the only thing it sends along, Within its trail and barely heard, Is the haunting melody of a star song.  Much like the whales in deepest seas, Who call each other with their tones; The stars call out as they die, “Hear me” th...

(To the tune of Silent Night...(tweaked a little of course))What the Shepherds saw Out in the fields We were tending our sheep When a very bright light Interrupted our sleep Choirs of angels were singing their song They told us to come We’d been waiting so long “Christ the Saviour is here” “Christ the Saviour is here” ♥ We took our little bundles And followed the star To Bethlehem town Which wasn’t so far There in a barn...

No babies. Ever. It is a strictly enforced, no exception policy I have put into place. Everyone I know told me that it was a foolish policy to implement. One day, they insisted, I would change my mind and have at least one child. Parents, grandparents, friends, and ex-girlfriends all were intent on derailing my drive and motivation to keep this resolution alive. This policy was put into place when I had the sage wisdom an...

Fear not the heat of the summer sun Nor the harshness of winter’s icy cold; Your worldly task is done, Homeward you are bound, Your angelic innocence intact: Fear not the displeasure of the Almighty, You are beyond all judgement now; You have no need for eat nor drink; No need for clothes or shelter: Neither pain nor ill intent can harm you now. Fear no more when lightning strikes, No need to cringe when thunder roars; Yo...

THE PASTIn the palace King Karna walks the arched hallways with his ‘sarathi’ and chief confidant and advisor Mani.She (Stree) is a difficult child. Her father already brought much shame by marrying that gypsy woman and left me with the burden of this child. I have forever despised these responsibilities but seems like there is no end to it. I am waiting for the time when Ketu’s sons will grow up and one of them will take...

Through the eyes of a child, The beauty you’ll see; Of dapple grey ponies, In fields of green, And butterflies that fly, Against a scarlet red sky.In the heart of a child, Emotions are real. The joy and elation At the sight of a rainbow. The fear and the dread Of a deep, darkened cave.In the soul of a child, Angels sing praises Of glories untold. Unicorns and fairies, Dragons and goblins, Can be found.For in the soul of a...

Of all the things you've given to me,As proof that the best things really are free,If I had to narrow it down to one,It would be the birth of our only son.Watching him smile I become elated,At the sight of the life we have created,Our unimaginable pride and joy,Disguised as a playful little boy.When I gaze into his eyes of blue,I cannot help but think of you,For that and his curly locks of hair,Are just two features you t...
