HOLD ON

 Feeling low, can't shake this cold

Can't escape this heavy load

Days are long and nights are cold

Wish that I could break this hold


Hold on, hold on

You're not alone

Hold on, hold on

You'll make it through


Thoughts are jumbled, can't think straight

Feels like everything's too late

Can't escape this pain inside

But I know you can get through alright


Hold on, hold on

You're not alone

Hold on, hold on

You'll make it through


You'll find the light in the darkest night

You'll make it through with all your might

Keep on fighting till the end

You'll be able walk alright again


Hold on, hold on

You're not alone

Hold on, hold on

You'll make it through


Hold on, hold on

You're not alone

You'll make it through this on ur own

Just a few more months to play


Hold on, hold on, 

You'll make it through another day.

HAPPINESS

Today I have my cousin, Meryl as a guest writer on my blog. This is his first writing. I thought he totally rocked it. So here is some inspirational stuff for you guys:


Life is tough. 
You can't always 
be happy in life. 
There's always 
tough times. 
Good things cannot 
be there for long time. 
But what matters is 
how you can make 
yourself happy. 
Happiness is a 
wonderful feeling 
but it's really hard 
to find happiness 
in the world nowadays. 
Things change, 
people change in your life. 
Moving on is very tough 
but then it's worth moving on 
rather than being upset 
about the things 
that have happened. 
Staying happy 
motivates yourself, 
to do something 
extra each day. 
No matter how people are
 you treat them well. 
Do good to others. 
And as always 
BE A GOOD PERSON! 

Stay positive and be happy in life🙂

- Meryl

MIRACLES HAPPEN

I prayed for you
Yes I cried my lungs out
Nights after nights
Days after days
Weeks after weeks
Months after months
I was desperate for you
Persevered
Hoped when everything failed
Hung on to faith
Sank in tears
You were my only wish
I longed for you
As hungry as I was
Went through suffering
Shame and insult
When suddenly
God stepped in
Unexpected
You arrived
You finally did
When least expected
Should I cry
Should I dance
What should I do
I’m unable to react
What state of mind is this
No one thought me in school
I’m emotionless
Where did pain go
I had it so long
I feel light
It still can’t sink in
You are here
It’s real
Dreams come true
Miracles happen

SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN

What I used to be
Somewhere in between
What I am
Somewhere in between
What I want to be
Somewhere in between

What is past
Somewhere in between
What is present
Somewhere in between
What is the future
Somewhere in between

What is real
Somewhere in between
What is happening
Somewhere in between
What is a dream
Somewhere in between

PLEASE COME BACK

It’s past midnight
I suddenly wake up
My hands feel your pillow
It’s empty
You are not here
I grope in darkness
feel alone
Wind blows
It’s dark outside
An empty house
I can’t sleep
The sheets smell like you
I told you not to leave me
You promised you would stay
I need you
To hold me tight
Cuddle me to back sleep
In your arms
Is the place of peace
I’m waiting
Restless
Anxious
I miss you
Please come back

- Grace Xavier

SILENCE

Two cute faces 

Two desperate hearts

One intimate kiss

Is it love or lust

Silence between them

told the story

HE LOVED ME

I'm so glad that I have a Guest blogger post today for all of you from my beautiful sister. Here's a poem she wrote. It's titled, "He loved me". Hope you relish your souls as you read it!


He loved me while I was in my mothers womb
He loved me while He was locked away in a tomb
He loved me when he was hanging on a cross
He loved me when my life was on a toss

He loved me while I was still a sinner
He loved me way beyond all measure
He loved me that He shed His blood and died
He loved me when I was not by His side

He loved me even when I fell
He loved me more than I can tell
He loved me when I was tossed and torn
He loved me when He was pierced by a thorn

He loved me first so I could love Him back
He loved me so that I would face no lack
He loved me, my Savior that on eagles wings I soar
He loved me for sure, He loves me still and He'l love me forever more

- Glory Namratha

BARREN TO BLESSED

Barren women they muttered her name
Depressed and hurt she lived in shame
Her rival provoked her till she cried
Pain and disgrace she could not hide

Her neighbors asked her, "What was wrong?
To have a baby, does it take that long?"
Who is this living God you talk about?
Her faith in Him they made her doubt

She woke up each night and bitterly wept
Her husband consoled her as she slept
In deep anguish she couldn't eat or drink
Her misery was all that she could think

In despair she cried out and prayed,
"God, to your work this child I trade"
She poured out her heart in tears
There on the alter she laid her fears

God stooped down from heaven and heard her cry
He said, "My promise to you I will not defy"
"She's Hannah", the blessed women they say
"She's you! cause your Samuel is on the way"

SEARCH ME GOD


Yet another unanswered prayer
At your feet, I lay my fear
On my cheek rolls a tear
Your voice, I want to hear

Search me God

I yearn not to enrich my pain
My requests are they in vain?
Your glory did I just gain?
Pleading on my knees again

Search me God

To You, I bring my broken heart
My thoughts to You I set apart
Cleanse me and help me restart
Thy will in my life to impart

Search me God

In sorrow and anguish I weep
My eyes, so heavy but cant sleep
Dispatch sins from You that keep 
Shepherd this squandered sheep

Search me God

Lead me towards everlasting way
Surrendering myself, in bed I lay
Strength to pass the test I pray
With You beside, I can face the day

Search me God

- by Grace Xavier

Poem published in GloMag September 2016 issue:

http://glomaglib.blogspot.in/2016/09/glomag-september-2016.html

Story behind the poem:

"Search me O Lord" is a poem inspired by Psalm 139, where the psalmist asks God to search him. This verse spoke to me deeply and I have been praying this verse as a prayer. Just thought of jotting down few things running on my mind in the form of a poem.

WHEN WORDS FAIL



Remember the time
I was quiet
you asked what happened
and I just smiled
when words fail...

When emotions grew
fights hurled
I could not reply
my heart sank
when words fail...

I waited for you
cried myself to bed
I wanted to tell
things I'm going through.
when words fail...

You turned to me
lifted my face
kissed on my lips
when words fail...silence spoke

AFTER

Life is more than what you think. To a happy 2016!


After rain there's a rainbow, 
After a storm there's calm, 
After the night there's a morning,
After an ending there's a new beginning

After valley there's a mountain,
After the fall there's rise,
After a decrease there's increase,
After the war there's peace

After low there's a high, 
After sadness there's happiness,
After ashes there's beauty,
After mourning there's joy

After a question there's an answer, 
After the battle there's victory,
After the sickness there's healing,
After hate there's love

After the unbelief there's faith,
After darkness there's light
After fear there's freedom
After despair there's hope

After the mess there's a message,
After the past there's a future,
After the mistake there's a miracle,
After the worst there's a best

After failure there's success
After the flood there's sunshine
After the famine there's harvest
After death there's life

ANCHOR


Breezy and cold is the night
The land is way out of sight
As thunderstorm hits the sea
This little ship is holding me

Rushing waves soar high
As I'm tossed around I cry
Cold water chills my spine
Holding on tight to the twine

The salt burns my wound
When no help can be found
Fears of drowning prevails
As my weak little ship sails

Then I hear a still small voice
“I am the Anchor”, in the noise
“I will never let you sink”
Amidst the storm, just cling!

The sea calmed while I sailed
The Anchor with me never failed
My ship did make it to land
Now on solid ground I stand

LITTLE THINGS

Sometimes in the journey of searching for greater happiness, we forget the little things that we do for each other. Let's take time to remember the small sweet moments and things and remind ourselves not to forget the importance of those little actions!

Here is a lil' poem written for my husband...it's called "LITTLE THINGS"


The times you call to check if I'm fine
The days you say, let's go out to dine
The smile on your face when you see me
The flowers you give me under the tree

The spoon of ice cream that you fed
The blanket you tucked in on the bed
The dishes you wash when I'm tired
The jamun you bought when I desired

The game you cancelled with me to be
The day you came to work to pick me
The shopping trick you do when I'm down
The random rides all around the town

The pink sweater you gave me as a gift
The holidays you take during night shift
The dish you cooked when I went to work
The naughty face you do when you lurk

The text message that says, I love you
The payment of my bill when it's due
The hug you give me behind the closet
The smirk you give like you never fret

The sweater you gave when it was cold
The roads I cross, my hands you hold
The picture you took which I look good
The compliments I get when I cook food

The tight smug you give when I'm upset
The words you speak, my sympathy you get
The moment you cried when I told "Yes"
The times you forgive whenever I mess

The touch of your hand, on my teary face
The things you find when I misplace
The songs you sing right to my heart
The memories you & me will never depart

And these little things that make me love you more...

- Grace Xavier

MISS YOU NIGHTS


Another night without you beside
In the midst of darkness outside
Empty house, newly wed, all alone
Miss you nights, call on my phone

Dreams of laying on your arms wide
Memories of how we cuddle and collide
These eyes are heavy but yet no sleep
Miss you nights, in anguish I weep

Wishing away that you could be here
To wipe away every drop of tear
Is there a way you could read my mind
Miss you nights, expectation I unwind

Is it only me who is killing time
I hear the tinkling of the chime
Counting hours with every yawn
Miss you nights, waiting for dawn

Surviving through every night
You told me to sleep up tight
Replaying my dreams over again
Miss you nights, relieving my pain

I know you miss me too like mad
You work so hard I feel so bad
Days like these will be very few
Miss you nights, I just love you

- by Grace Xavier


"Miss you nights" is a poem written for my husband. I was inspired to write this coz I miss him a lot when he works during the night. Those are some of the toughest days of our lives to be apart from each other. The words of "Miss you nights" are real and true. 
PS: i miss you!

FIRE


Cold winter morning
Half opened eyes
Hot cup of coffee
The marathon begins
Mesmerizing world
Walking with crowd

Where is the FIRE?

Entertainment unlimited
Stomachs so full
Internet for free
Heavy shopping bags
Money in pocket
Friends in plenty

Where is the FIRE?

Hearts growing cold
Times running fast
Corruption rising
Sin is overtaking
Zero fruitfulness
Souls drowning

Where is the FIRE?

Love slowly fading
Ignoring all Hope
Faith diminishing
Longing for peace
Faking inner joy
Life's purpose forgotten

Where is the FIRE?

Deep Repentance
Cleansing of heart
Face on the ground
Hands up to heaven
Falling on knees
Crying to God

Where is the FIRE?

Reviving word
Hunger to serve
Seeking for grace
Passion to save
Dispelling darkness
Aroma of anointing

FIRE IS IGNITED

STOP...WAIT...


The sun is up again, the clock ticks six
Messes around the house, all ready to fix
Prepared to tackle the day upon my own feet
Walking on familiar road across the street

Stop...wait...Have I forgotten Someone?

I live, I laugh, I eat, I talk, I work
As I travel, sometimes in traffic I lurk
Millions of dreams and memories I think
Deep into this really busy world I sink

Stop...wait...Have I forgotten Someone?

Tired i lay, at the end of the another day
I think about all that has passed my way
In contentment I've gained everything
Is life worth living for all or nothing

Stop...wait...Have I forgotten Someone?

I then open my heart and my blinded eyes
To thank and praise Him my voice I raise
Yes, Someone's waiting, watching over me
Acknowledging Him How happy will I be

Stop...wait...I have remembered God!!!

THE HEART ONLY WHISPERS

My heart leaped with joy the day aunty (A Great Poetess ) asked me if I could contribute one poem for her book. She also mentioned that she’s bringing out an anthology of love poems to be released on Feb 14th, 2014. There I was more than happy to join her in this journey. I began to search my old books and my journals to bring out the best poem I have written. As days approached, I wrote this new poem and sent it to her, which is published in this book.

Yes! today is “Feb 14th, 2014”. The book has been released as planned. I'm so happy to be a part of this book which contains poems from various great poets. The book is called, “The Heart Only Whispers...”

Cover page of the book, "The Heart Only Whispers..."
I'm truly honoured and humbled. All glory to God Almighty!

TOO SERIOUS TOO SOON


Too serious too soon
I gave away my heart
Too serious too soon
Was so into you that I forgot the world around
Everything around me was music without sound
May be I was too serious too soon

Too serious too soon
I stumbled when others ran
Too serious too soon
Stuck between my plans and the faith I follow
Could I be risking it or should I just let go?
May be I was too serious too soon

Too serious too soon
I discovered True Light
Too serious too soon
Despite heart wrenching storms of life
I hear whispers of joy and echoes of hope

May be I was too serious too soon

TOO MUCH TO BEAR

"How do you know when how much is too much? Too much too soon. Too much information. Too much fun. Too much love. Too much to ask... And when is it all just too much to bear?"


Here again I have ripped my own heart
Unbearable pain from the sharp dart
Got up to leave but just right fell in
Bruised and shattered deep within
…And when it’s too much too bear

Guilt stricken, disturbed with heavy load
Tears crash onto the floor of life’s road
Enduring this war of continuous regrets
Negative voices have become my threats
…And when it’s too much too bear

Groping in the dark to find a ray of hope
I rage in frustration beyond I can cope
I can hardly breathe; barely surviving
Trying so hard to escape from drowning
…And when it’s too much too bear

I’m not strong; I stumble when others run
Mostly all by myself; conversing with none
Millions of memories they rush and come
To that part of me which is dead and numb
…And when it’s too much too bear

And my heart cries, I wait for pain to melt
Surrendering all at the cross I have knelt
Gathering the pieces of my heart I bring
To You my Master, my Saviour, my King

…And when it’s too much too bear
He bears my burden

YOU ARE...

This is for you ...yes, it's you :)


You are with me
When I open my eyes each dawn
You are with me
As my thoughts on you are drawn
You are with me
In every first and last yawn

You are with me
When my path is narrow
You are with me
Like a shadow to follow
You are with me
Like a strong bow and arrow

You are with me
When it's raining and cold
You are with me
When I need a hand to hold
You are with me
When my dreams they unfold

You are with me
When my heart sings
You are with me
Your voice in my ear rings
You are with me
I can fly without wings

You are with me
Even when I don't talk
You are with me
Like a strong rock
You are with me
In every single walk

You are with me
For ever all the way
You are with me
strong come what may
You are with me
Like a hope of ray

You are with me
As I calculate each day
You are with me
In every talk I convey
You are with me
As I look back yesterday

You are with me
In every breathe I take
You are with me
In every plan I make
You are with me
As long as I am awake
