İF Only 4 A Moment If only for a momentCan we pretend we never parted.Pretend you never went awayAnd that our Love was neverthwarted.If only for a momentCan we let this Love be dear.Try remembering the good timesso i may forget all that I fear.If only for a momentCan i say you Loved me too.Say that you cared for meAs much as I did you.If only for a momentCan we call us more than friends.And when they ask if I still LoveyouI'll say more than 'It depends.'If only for a momentCan we say we never parted.Just lie and say I never criedPretend this sadness neverstarted.If only for a momentCan we pretend you Love me too.Cause it's only for a LifetimeThat I'm trapped in Love with you akingbehin daniel murphy

A Good Friend Is A Gift Among the great and gloriousgifts our heavenly Father sends,Is the gift of understanding thatwe find in loving friends,For in this world of trouble thatis filled with anxious care,Everybody needs a friend inwhom they're free to share,The little secret heartaches thatlay heavy on their mind,We seek our true and trustedfriend in the knowledge thatwe'll find,A heart that's sympathetic and anunderstanding mind. akingbehin daniel murphy

A Smile A SMILEIt cost nothing, but creates much.It enriches those who receive,without impoverishing thosewho give.It happens in a flash and thememory of it lasts forever.None are so rich they can getalong without it and none sopoor but are richer for itsbenefits.It creates happiness in the home,fosters good will in a business,and is the countersign of friends.It is rest to the weary, daylight tothe discouraged, sunshine to thesad, and nature's best antidotefor trouble.Yet it cannot be bought, begged,borrowed, or stolen, for it issomething that is no earthlygood to anybody till it is givenaway!If someone is to tired to give youa smile, leave one of yours.For, nobody needs a smile somuch as those who have none togive. akingbehin daniel murphy

A Special World 4 Me And U A Special WorldA special world for you and meA special bond one cannot seeIt wraps us up in its cocoonAnd holds us fiercely in its womb.Its fingers spread like fine spungoldGently nestling us to the foldLike silken thread it holds us fastBonds like this are meant to last.And though at times a threadmay breakA new one forms in its wakeTo bind us closer and keep usstrongIn a special world, where webelong. akingbehin daniel murphy

A Twilight Song My loss of you will be a minorthing,unnoticing, the seasons yet willflowcontinue waltzing proud withbeautythrough the myriad months theyknow.And still will seeds long sincebeen sown,give birth to buds of billowingspringfor your death remains unknownto the waking sun and the Aprilrain.Your quiet passing will gounobservedby the boisterous birds and beesof May,and so will wide-eyed infantsquirrelsclamber around through ourbackyard tree.June will not cease, nor will July,blithely unaware you don't exist.Ambered autumn bows towinter's brideas if nothing significant is amiss.Oh, there will perish with yourpassinglittle of beauty that is not yourown,only the grace of commonflowers,only the lilt of morning's song. akingbehin daniel murphy

About You About YouYour touch is with me always,It’s burnt into my skin,As soft and warm as sun raysWhen a summer day sets in.Your soft voice never silent,It’s forever in my ears,Serenading every momentAnd calming all my fears.Your arms always enfold me,The strength of angels wings,They support and protect mewhollyWith the safety a true love brings.While I can never repay you,For the wonder you bring to mylife,I can forever be true,And forever be a true wife. akingbehin daniel murphy

Cradle Hymn Cradle HymnChristian Christmas PoemsHush, my dear, lie still andslumber;Holy angels guard thy bed;Heavenly blessings withoutnumberGently falling on thy head.Sleep, my babe, thy food andraiment,House and home, thy friendsprovide;All without thy care, or payment,All thy wants are well supplied.How much better thou'rtattendedThan the Son of God could be,When from heaven Hedescended,And became a child like thee!Soft and easy is thy cradle;Coarse and hard thy Saviour lay,When His birthplace was a stable,And His softest bed was hay.See the kindly shepherds roundhim,Telling wonders from the sky!When they sought Him, therethey found Him,With his Virgin-Mother by.See the lovely babe a-dressing;Lovely infant, how He smiled!When He wept, the mother'sblessingSoothed and hushed the holychild.Lo, He slumbers in His manger,Where the honest oxen fed;—Peace, my darling! here's no

D Night Of Ful Moon O come with me into thismoonlight world.The trees are large and softtonight,With blossoms loaded soft andwhite,A cloud of whiteness furling andunfurled.The houses give their soundsupon the airIn muted tones and secrecies,Their lights like laughter throughthe trees.The evening breathes its vowsinto our hair.The evening puts its lips to throatand browAnd swears what it has swornbeforeTo others and will swear tomore.The evening has its arms aroundus now. akingbehin daniel murphy

D White Cotton WHITE OF COTTONOh, the white of cotton sheets,the perfect edge, the perfectpleatsThe dreary walls, the lonely halls,the soft excruciating callsI always gladly stood by youthrough every test they put youthroughThe chemicals, the painful nights,the nightmare dreams andstinging bitesBut when I saw you lying thereso thin and weak, no voice, nohairYour chest, your head, yourthinning back were left inradiation blackMy eyes were not prepared toview this dying man, this otheryouWho lived with me beneath bluesky, and now a man too weak tocryAnd oh, the white of cottonsheets, the tubes and needles,rhythmic beatsMetallic bed, metallic sound, askimpy robe they tied aroundMy heart was not prepared tosee you tugging chains to setyou freeAnd oh, how much your eyesbeseech a nurse's button out ofreachNever had I seen on earthdiscomfort's torture on a berthWith sheets of alabaster white,with ends and corners tucked in

tightYour rose was but a thorny bush,a button there too weak to pushAnd all your pain I took as mine,til morphine's regulation timeA bowl of soup you could not eat,disturbing words you could notspeakA skeleton between the threadsof sheets of white on metal bedsAnd every player played his part,but no one had prepared myheart akingbehin daniel murphy

Death Is Nothing At All Death is nothing at all...I have only slipped away into thenext roomI am I, and you are you...Whatever we were to each other,that we are still...Call me by my old familiar name,speak to mein the easy way which youalways used.Put no difference in your tone;wear no forced air of solemnityor sorrow.Laugh as we always laughedat the little jokes we enjoyedtogether.Play, smile, think of me, pray forme.Let my name be ever thehousehold word that it alwayswas.Let it be spoken without effect,without the ghost of a shadowon it.Life mean all that it ever meant.It is the same as it ever was;there is absolutely unbrokencontinuity.What is this death but anegligible accident?Why should I be out of mindbecause I am out of sight?I am just waiting for you, for aninterval.Somewhere near, just around thecorner...All is well.

Graduation Graduation Day is the climax of adream.A parental dream that beganwhen a child is born,And their hope come true itwould seem,A triumph held after periods offorlorn,A feeling of pride and euphoriayears awayFor a daughter or son -Graduation Day.It is a peak of success for thegraduate,Not only for the graduate butparents too.A joyful event after many yearsthey had to wait,Realizing the glorious thrill of adream come true,A genuine smile accompanied bya deep sigh,Often a handkerchief in hand asthe class goes by.Graduation is a deserving, hardearned goalWith mortarboard and gown asforetold,A gratifying service of the mindand soulIn a simple and beautifulsheepskin toldThat the graduate fulfilled theeducational rule.At last, for the mother and father,a dream come true.Graduation Day!

Hope 'Hope' is the thing with feathersThat perches in the soulAnd sings the tune without thewordsAnd never stops at all,And sweetest in the gale isheard;And sore must be the stormThat could abash the little birdThat kept so many warm.I've heard it in the chillest landAnd on the strangest sea,Yet never, in extremity,It asked a crumb of me. akingbehin daniel murphy

I Could Not Be Done Somebody said that it couldn't bedone,But, he with a chuckle repliedThat 'maybe it couldn't' but hewould be oneWho wouldn't say so till he'dtried.So he buckled right in with thetrace of a grinOn his face. If he worried he hidit.He started to sing as he tackledthe thingThat couldn't be done, as he didit.Somebody scoffed: 'Oh, you'llnever do that;At least no one we know hasdone it';But he took off his coat and hetook off his hat,And the first thing we knew he'dbegun it.With a lift of his chin and a bit ofa grin,Without any doubting or quiddit,He started to sing as he tackledthe thingThat couldn't be done, and hedid it.There are thousands to tell you itcannot be done,There are thousands to prophesyfailure;There are thousands to point outto you, one by one,The dangers that wait to assailyou.But just buckle right in with a bit

I Luv U When we first were trulyacquainted,I nearly fainted.You were everything I waslooking for,and even more.A couple months later you askedme out,I gratefully accepted without adoubt.Now you mean the world to me,I know we are meant to be.I think about you day and night,Never wanting you to leave mysight.The first time we kissed...Oh what wonderful bliss!I love you more than I can everexpress,Your my first love that I confess.I will always remember the waywe held hands,The way you never gave me anydemands.Your an angel that God sent tome,If only we could forever be.I don't ever want ourrelationship to be through.Hopefully we never have to say afinal 'I love you' akingbehin daniel murphy

If There's If There'sIf there's one face I want to see,so beautiful, so true,one smile that makes adifference,to everything I do.If there's one touch I long to feel,one voice I long to hear,whenever I am happy,or just needing someone near.If there's one joy, one love,from which I never want to part,it's you, my very special love,my world, my life, my heart. akingbehin daniel murphy

Keep Smiling KEEP SMILING!If at times you feel youwant to cryAnd life seems such atrialAbove the clouds there'sa bright blue skySo make your tears asmile.As you travel on life'swayWith its many ups anddownsRemember its quite trueto sayOne smile is worth adozen frowns.Among the worldsexpensive thingsA smile is very cheapAnd when you give asmile away,You get one back tokeep.Happiness comes attimes to allBut sadness comesunbiddenAnd sometimes a fewtears must fallAmong the laughterhidden.So when friends havesadness on their faceAnd troubles round thempiledThe world will seem abetter placeAnd all because you

Morning Morning brings hopeA day, however good or bad, hasgone by,Now it is the time to look at thebright blue sky.The sea that gleams with thelight of the shining sun,and birds that chirp with pride,ask us to join in the fun.Morning is a God's way ofreminding all of us,That love and hope still exists inthe world.Good morning dear.

Morning Poem Morning PoemEvery morningthe worldis created.Under the orangesticks of the sunthe heapedashes of the nightturn into leaves againand fasten themselves to thehigh branches -and the ponds appearlike black clothon which are painted islandsof summer lilies.If it is your natureto be happyyou will swim away along thesoft trailsfor hours, your imaginationalighting everywhere.And if your spiritcarries within itthe thornthat is heavier than lead -if it's all you can doto keep on trudging -there is stillsomewhere deep within youa beast shouting that the earthis exactly what it wanted -each pond with its blazing liliesis a prayer heard and answeredlavishly,every morning,whether or notyou have ever dared to be happy,whether or notyou have ever dared to pray.

My 1st Luv When we first were trulyacquainted,I nearly fainted.You were everything I waslooking for,and even more.A couple months later you askedme out,I gratefully accepted without adoubt.Now you mean the world to me,I know we are meant to be.I think about you day and night,Never wanting you to leave mysight.The first time we kissed...Oh what wonderful bliss!I love you more than I can everexpress,Your my first love that I confess.I will always remember the waywe held hands,The way you never gave me anydemands.Your an angel that God sent tome,If only we could forever be.I don't ever want ourrelationship to be through.Hopefully we never have to say afinal 'I love you' akingbehin daniel murphy

Rays Of Roses Rays of RosesI love with breeze andshadows that cools the jewelbackWhere she lays her headunder the rose tree cuddledby the sunShe sparked a glow in meShe said her name was"senorita" and I said she's‘sunshine'.Even though she smiled, sheseemed more than magic cosshe has a face only the suncan explainHer lips were full like wine-pitcher a queen's hip Icannot swingAwaiting a lip I cannot kisseven when the blood is hotSometimes I wait for thesorrows of the marrowSometimes I cannot let myheart sing a love I cannotshare, a deal I cannot sealShe said it was only time formist to haste into dawnBut sometimes I fear as Iwait the thrills of tomorrowcos even home is barkingonly for my securityWill I ever kiss your lips?sometimes I ask…… well thisis only Romeo's heartoh that silent whisper: whenwill it be day time?

Smiling SMILINGSmiling is infectious,you catch it like the flu.When someone smiled at metodayI started smiling too.I passed around the corner,and someone saw my grin.When he smiled I realized,I'd passed it on to him.I thought about that smile,then I realized its worth.A single smile just like mine,could travel round the earth.So, if you feel a smile begin,don't leave it undetected.Let's start an epidemic quick,and get the world infected! akingbehin daniel murphy

The Flame I'm standing in front of the silentgrave,looking at your name, carved inthe stone.A cold wind is swingingbranches of pinesin the dark graveyard withoutany light.Obscure clouds are overcasttingthe skies,restraining their sadness overthis sight.Beside me, there's a candle onthe grave.Its flame is floating over the graystone,making mystic shapes, filling mewith fears,flying as far as it can, hurrying onits way,leaving me lost and afraid, alonein tearslike every shiny light you've takenaway.The snowflakes are falling overthe grave.Your name is disappearing fromthe stone.The fragile flame doesn't shineanymore.The last light of my life hasabandoned me,following you up to the Heaven'sshoreto swim with you in the Paradisesea. akingbehin daniel murphy

The Travelerz I travel with my eyes,Watching those silently cry,Asking themselves the questionwhy,Someone left them withoutsaying goodbye;I travel with my thoughts,I travel with my pen;To write about children, womenand men;I travel with my voice,I travel with my hope,That something new, wouldspring into my horoscope,Whether in Asia, America orEurope,There'll always be somethinginteresting to scope;I travel to many different places,Mix with many races,Identify tribesmen by their faces,And little girls by their laces,I travel without money,So, please listen to my testimony,The good, the bad and even theugly,Every experience is worth life'sjourney,For I'll always be marvelled,When ever I travel. akingbehin daniel murphy
