My Dream

I think of you day and night,
My soul won’t rest until I find you,
So real; almost tangible,
I close my eyes and there you are,
I won’t rest until I find you,
At the crack of dawn I’ll pick my hoe and dig,
You’re not so far away I can feel it in my heart,

I found your trail this morning,

Before dusk I’ll find you.

Fingerprints

In my dreams you're still alive, In my heart you'll always be, When I lose hope I remember your words, Softly spoken but deeply rooted. You wanted to speak but could not, Somehow the look on your face said it all, You stretched out your hand to say hello- If I knew it was the last, I never would have left your side, You left your fingerprints in my life, I'm who I am because you were, You left a mark in my heart Dad- Even though you're gone, I can still feel your touch. It hurts that you're not here, But I cling on to the hope that- One day I'll see you again, I may not have all the answers to life, But God has all the pieces of my puzzle.

Sunny as I :-)

Cold morning, no milk... oooh and the electricity bill; I haven't paid that yet :-(
So that means....no hot shower, the toothpaste is only enough for today!!!
I'm all set for the day but then, no sugar for my tea, I used up the last spoon last night...

I look at myself and marvel at how much I have...
I have a brand new day, a roof on my head, food to last me at least a week...
I have some paint which should be able to finish the portrait on my easel...
That should be enough to pay rent and cater for all the pending bills :-)

Still looking at the mirror, I put on my pink scarf, a yellow flower on my Afro and a smile on my face....
I may not have it all, but what I have is all I need for now...
I'm happy, I'm satisfied, I'm sunny as I.....
