Back to the future

A door stands in the midst of day 
Waiting to be opened  
I had a dog called who-nose  
Oh what does the future hold   


Knock knock is a step away 
A step close on door steps
From the future, back to the future 
Oh what does the future hold  


With time jingle on tic toc  
And events set to take place 
I had a dog called who-knows  
Oh what does the future hold  


The new is always wrapped in anxiety 
Jump jump on presents wrapped 
So much excitement, of things to come 
Oh what does the future hold  


To do thus, places to be, people to see
My dog was called who's nose 
This and that, etc etc 
Oh what does the future hold 


In these times, times like this 
The soothsayer is favoured the most 
With claims to have an incline on
Oh what does the future holds  


Beating around the bush on guess work 
More like with a sneak eye open to study reaction
Did I tell you, I had a dog called wholeness   
Oh what does the future hold 


To read one's body language, like a dog tail 
And say I see, oh yea I see, I saw, oh yea it's back 
Well of course you see, stupid 
Oh what does the future hold 


Now even the Mayan's are at it as well with 2012  
Oh well, but nah too fancy for me, much fuss is made 
I would own a dog and call it whoopees 
Oh what does the future hold 


In any case, we will all, all see 
Soon enough, just soon enough 
Bear witness soon enough 
On what the future holds 


Just like the days before and now today
And tomorrow follows with patterns of before 
The name of my dog is knows-how 
Oh what does the future hold 

A Place, A Time

A place, a time, a life in ways 
To act in deeds, hear, hear  
Here, here, a place to be   


I do not sleep standing up  
When there is a bed to comfort my rest  
Even elephants know to lie on their backs  


I will not walk on a treadmill  
With speed mark, set at 9 
I would have known trips and falls, like friends  

I will not swim on land  
Or run in swimming pools or any waters full 
I may try walking on a mustard filled pool  


Then compare myself to scriptures  
And say I walked on liquid  
Water with add ons  

But then the clean up will be messy  
So I will ponder before acts. 
A place a time, a life in ways to act  


I will dress for the occasion  
If winter gave me an invite  
Or sun shine blessed my day, rarity in England. 

I will have a smile, for my love 
And call her by pet names, unique 
For her the only right to have, pet names  


To own and no other 
She will know my smile, changing on emotion 
All the different ones, I never knew I had 


But she noticed to admire
A place, a time, a life, in ways to act 
Hear, hear, here, here

I will acquire the rightful stage 
For who I am, my rightful stage
With books I have stood on, to elevate my stand 


Robes, for ceremony on graduation 
Then after, a place, a time, a life in ways 
In my rightful place, I have acquired to be 


Hear, hear, here, here 
A place, a time 
A life in ways

God Made Me

Just before I pass off, pass on, stretch hands
And hand over battens, not yet, but
To the next in line, like legacy
Battens in rally ran, its your turn  


Whispering guidance
And lessons learnt
Take care on this road
It is long and treacherous


But full of hope and beauty
I have lived it, I know it
Suffered in its toil to gain its reward
Like harvest day, fruits in baskets 


Bring out your baskets
And be sent blessed
By his goodness, God gracious
Every day shower 


God made me, he ordained me 
So from the beginning I was destined
To be greater than great
The greatest in my own endeavours 


But never on a silver plate, 
To be placed, like the king on chess game
It is the journey that count,
It is the part, that is blessed the most, in blessing


To find myself, through gutters dug 
And know what I am made of, 
Capable now, to dance with the lions 
I am to be tested, to prove my worth


And stand on my own two feet  
Accomplished, no wobbles 
I am on top of the world with birds eye view
I see all, on the landscape


God made me
God made me
God made me
