Christmas through a child?s eyes |

A rose from afar can be just as sweet the substance like a fragrance can enter soul touching your heart ever so subtly fulfilling a spiritual need with you leaving an impression that will last a lifetime the knowledge that you may never savor its sustenance up close brings to light the need to continue adornment for this flower of God, rose from afar

Money is the root of all evil my grandma always said It's just like opening the pantry finding weevil in your bread some measure your love by what they get when you're dead the lord only knows how that notion got into their head It's the actions when you're living that show your love not when you're 6 ft under and ascended to above it can buy you goodies all you want in life it can make you hate that person, man or wife it can make you greedy more than ever before even when you're rich you will want more you will act indifferent when you see the poor you just say that's tough can't have any of my stuff get a job you bums I've nothing for you crusteds don't stand too close I'll have you busted! so you see if you want to that in the human race there's quite an upheaval and money really is the root of all evil!

You make me strong You make me happy You comfort me and keep me safe You give me understanding And together we make sense You bring me peace And fill my emptiness with joy You help me to believe in possibilities And trust in who I am I have faith in you and hopes for us You are my love And I will cherish you

I am sorry for the pain that you have been through A memory of the hurt I will take the knowledge of what should not be And trust in love and what is real I am touched by the sorrow and regrets you have I will let compassion guide me I hope your grief will lead to understanding And our tears shall heal our spirit I hope your faith will give you courage And belief in who you are

Auntie, Uncle, Johnny and Angie
I grieve and cry for you My spirit hurts and aches I will remember the love you share And the truth you help me know And believe
A memory of Uncle Leo atop a lion statue The joy, the promise, the hopes and dreams The passion that is you Your honour and dignity are alive In this wisdom you have shown me Know who you are Know where you have been Know where you want to go
Uncle, I am sorry our moments together were few That I do not have a clearer understanding of who you are From Auntie I am learning About how your love was true And how you cared for others
From your pain I will learn to be compassionate And from your love Hope remains
Mei Ling Ng
