Till Death Do Us Part - poem

Till death do us part
This is the morning
After so many years...
Now the beggining of my mourning
Goodbye, mom.

How I wish I were never born - poem

So many unhappy things took place these few days
sweeping me from corner to corner feeling dazed
pent up emotion trapped within as I gaze
at the wall without a word to say

Why must they happen to me, I asked the Lord
why must I be the one to suffer this lot
why don't I disappeared into the thin air
and when others look for me I am no more there

How I wish I were never born
or my first cry were soon gone
or I were given to a good family
then I don't have to suffer this misery

So this is the cross I have to bear
a burden that no one could share
as no one could understand my tear
though some people say they do care

Then I remember God will provide
as He did it to the Israelites
at a time that to Him is right
when they let Him be their Guide

Lord, I need faith to trust and obey
and do what's right without delay
cleanse my lips so I'll know what to say
to bring blessing instead of dismay

Goodbye My Friend - poem

You wrote to me and I wrote to you;
We encouraged one another through writing.
But suddenly you wrote no more,
And I have not heard from you for a year or so.

Surprisingly I received an email from 'you' last Friday.
I was so happy and quickly opened to read it.
But I was shocked and speechless...
I did not know what to say or how to feel.

My feeling froze for a moment then tears began to flow.
That email was not from you but from your brother.
Your brother said that you were gone without a word;
That you had been suffering much pains from your sickness until February.

Then your pains were relieved when you breathed your last.
Your brother asked me not to reply that email
Because your address will be removed.
Your new address is now 'Heaven' where there's no sorrow and no pain.

Why didn't you tell me when you were sick and in pain?
Why must I know it from your brother instead of you?
Should I grieve or should I rejoice? I really don't know.
I have very mixed feelings...

I can't help crying yet I rejoice that you are at a better place than I am now.
Goodbye my friend for now, I will miss you...
But I know I shall see you again one day,
For our permanent 'address' is the same.
