ALONE ON A BEACH - by Hazem Al Jaber





ALONE ON A BEACH

by Hazem Al Jaber


oh, sadness ...
your circle killing me ..
and your memories waves flooded me ..
my life is a sky without lights ..
where is your yelling about happiness ..? ? ?
and in which wilderness, can i find you ..? ? ?
I am a star without sense ...
I am a candy without taste ..
and here alone in that beach ....
















OCEAN PORT - by Kenya James




OCEAN  PORT  

by Kenya James



Feel the warmth from the heat
Feel the sand on your feet
Feel the cool of the breeze
Feel the calm


Hear the peace
Hear the waves hit the shore
Hear the sounds
Of boat motors roar


See the people in the sand
See that kite in his hands
See the way the seagulls fly


Taste the air as it passes by
Taste the salt
Touch the wood of the ocean port

TIPS  for making tuna pasta with tomatoes and olives:

    Use a mixture of olive oil and clarified butter for cooking onion and garlic with herbs because they both taste great and add a different taste to the dish. I really like to use clarified butter, it doesn‘t burn as quickly as the regular butter, and its taste is just as delicious.

    Instead of canned tomatoes, you can use tomato passata or fresh, chopped tomatoes when they’re in season.

    You can add vegetable or chicken broth to the dish.

    Use green olives, but black or kalamata lives would be a good substitute.


   ENJOY  !

DIFFICULTIES IN LIFE - by Jamie Harris Coleman






DIFFICULTIES IN LIFE


by   Jamie Harris Coleman


Sometime success, sometimes failures,
In life’s battle we often meet;
But its our duty to keep on climbing,
Whether a victory or defeat.


Let us then keep moving onward,
Never get discouraged and stop;
If we keep on climbing upward,
We will some day reach the top.


When we reach the long-struggled-for summit,
With memory gazing o’er the past;
Clothed in pleasant smiles we’ll whisper,
Thanks be to God we are here at last.


Here we find the summit roomy,
Here we see a faithful few;
Who have stood life’s stormy billows,
And its obstacles did subdue.


Now we’ll not sit here in comfort,
Just because we’ve reached our goal;
For love and sympathy we’ll be up and doing,
Helping some other struggling soul.


When we reach life’s golden summit,
A new work awaits to be begun;
So we must keep moving onward,
Till all the work of this life is done.














DAYS OF YOUTH - by Jamie Harris Coleman


 
 


DAYS OF YOUTH


by   Jamie Harris Coleman


Childhood years are passing o’er us,
Days of youth will soon be gone;
Many a sorrow lies before us,
Many a dangerous snare unknown.


Oh, may He who is meek and lowly,
Abide with us thru sin and woe;
Make us His and keep us holy,
Guide and guard us as we go.


May our lives be as a sunbeam,
Each day beaming fair and bright;
Leading someone’s wearied soul,
From the darkness to the light.


When our work on earth is finished,
And life’s race has been run;
May we hear a voice from heaven,
Saying, it was faithfully done.


Then on the other side of Jordan,
Where all things are bright and fair;
Where the angels are sweetly singing,
There a crown and robe we’ll wear.


No more sickness, no more sorrow,
No more death we’ll feel or see;
But with Jesus and His angels,
We shall dwell eternally.
