I long to see...

I long to see a place i have never been to
To see a people not afraid
To see a people free to speak and live
To see a people not crushed

I long to see a government i have never seen
A government not corrupt
A government not selfish
A government there to protect

I long to see a country i have never seen
See a country full of democracy
See a country with no trace of monopoly
See a country adversary to autocracy

Does such a place exist
Does such a people exist
Does such a government exist
Does such a country exist

Such a place is made, by the people who make the government
Such a government is made, by the people who fill up a country

Such a country is made by the people who not only dream, but make dreams come true
Such a country is made by the people who not only dream for themselves, but for the country
Such a country is made by the people who have strength in their voices

Who have a desire in their hearts
Who have a compassion in their thoughts
Who have a love in their words
Who have a reason in their decision

I long to see such a people.....!

I finally Belong

Finally i belong to someone who deserves my heart
I now belong to a man so strong he carried me through the storm
To a warrior who has fought named and unnamed battles on my behalf
So patient he had to wait all this time for me to belong

My heart lacks no love
My spirit lacks no peace
My soul lacks no mate
My body lacks no owner

In all my childish ways he has given me growth
Even when i bluntly detached my heart from his, he gently drew back to me
When i threw bitter love at him, he grabbed it with glee and nurtured it to give it back in flawless rose scented bulks
Who would have guessed I'm actually lovable
Well, he proved the world perfectly wrong

His love has given me freedom from loneliness
His love has set me free from the  bondage of singleness
His love has turned my dreams into realities
His love has turned my blackandwhite heart into rainbow

I am I am

You are not alone now
You might not see it but I'm here
You might doubt it but i have given you faith

In every situation communicate
In every storm celebrate
In every day meditate

One thing for certain, I have given you victory
Another thing to remember, I have won all your battles
Most important thing, i have made you more than a conqueror 

When you wonder if you are going to make it
Remember you have already made it
When you ask 'why me' know that you are the chosen one

If you are wondering who I am
Know that I am I am 
The God of gods who created you
The Lord of Lords who protects you
The Owner of all things below and above

Abide in me now
Trust in me forever
Its not for you to ask how
Call on me whenever
