I Bow Before You!

I bow before you, for I am weak;

I bow before you, for my thoughts reek.

I bow before you, for I am frustrated;

I bow before you, for I am devastated.

I bow before you, for I feel heavy;

I bow before you, for my eyes feel soggy.

I bow before you, for I am tired;

I bow before you, for I am mired.

I bow before you, for I want only calm;

I bow before you, for only you won’t harm.

When She Smiles…

When she smiles gloom dies,

When she smiles bloom sighs.

When she smiles meaningful becomes life,

When she smiles happiness becomes rife.

When she smiles life gets confident,

When she smiles strife gets absent.

When she smiles, blissful becomes surround,

When she smiles, beautiful becomes around.

When she smiles, rainbow glowers,

When she smiles, glee-bow showers.

When she smiles, earth becomes more new,

When she smiles, sky becomes pure view.

When she smiles, dew gets sheen,

When she smiles, hope gets umpteen.
