SHINE POEMS

Keeping the thought of being colossal away,
While people are trying to bring it down;

Rather it was larger than 'life'.

Wish I Have

Wish I have words to described the way you makes me feel, the way you impacted upon my life, the way you comfort my heart, the way you sooth my mind and my body.

Wish I have the humor to always make you smile, to make you shine, to make you twinkled like a star light, to make those dimples say here am I.

Each outside purpose which my life has known.
