Our Sweet Time Together I first saw you along the dark corridor, Leaning next to the office door, So tall like a giraffe, In a brown scarf, Or was it a brown polo neck? I confused for a scarf due to the dark? I can now remember, To the staff you were not a member. You wore a brown sweater, I saw that one better, In a lighter shade, That was so fade, And a blue jean, The oldest I had ever seen, I thought you were lost, You were definitely not at your best. It is amazing how you’ve kept us strong, Your heart sings me beautiful songs, So amazingly like the morning bird, Better than the National Choral Band, Cooler than the evening breeze from the sea, Brighter than the eye can ever see, It was the song of love, So peaceful like a dove, I treasure our sweet time together, I would love us to last forever.

My Four Sisters Rachael is the funniest of them all, Always carefree and dreaming to be tall, Jokes most sacred and of serious matters, Record keeper of a lifetime letters, Always made up for every occasion, Not afraid of attracting attention, Adventurous and the greatest risk taker, The only threat to Mama’s blood pressure. Out and about is her real game, Very difficult and unlikely to tame, Time conscious has never been in her vocabulary, Keep’s you waiting with no worry, Very bright and dangerously cunning, Never will take seriously to any warning, Killing everyone is her sole mission, With laughter, suspense and anticipation. Judy is the sexiest in the family, Athletic figure with a hair styled carefully, Great taste of fashion and terribly boastful, Incredibly cute, hardworking and a soul so beautiful, A lady of few words and lots of smiles, Jovial but when angry skips meals, Often on the wrong side of mom’s commandments, Rece...

You were out there by yourself, I shut you away from where you wanted to live, But this afternoon, I wanted to hold you but I died inside, I wanted to know you more, but guilt killed me, I wanted to die with you, The moment I saw you cry. I saw you standing there in a bare body, Straight from the bathroom, Those drops still on your toned figure, But you barely stood straight, Your eyes were shocked, You shivered and you were cold, The moment I saw you cry. You looked at me so deeply, I was frightened, I was sorry, I had ruined us, I saw those heavy tears, You were like a little child, The moment I saw you cry. I ended it so soon, I was very afraid of breaking your heart...
