Underneath This Smile
Underneath this smile
see my source of endless joy:
peace, kindness and love.
Nothing I will fear
believing in tomorrow,
to find a rainbow
stretching over that green hill...
to imagine what's beyond.
Show your sympathy,
share my happiness revealed
underneath this smile.

TEMPERED GRACE
one challenge, one heartbeat, one goal
blinding blast--Boston’s blood

Partners
Ingenious partners no hesitation.
No loud protest, no obligation.
No decrepitation, no calcumination.
No spurious trouble, only festive occasions,
Generosity and probity, no tension.

A Cue
To be recogonised...
Doesn't mean you are the best
...Now it should be clear.
For you yet to win..
Mustn't stop you from dreaming

To slice through
The marvelous Gladiolas
Are all around me

Whispering in a mastery voice
Avoided my despair
Let my body to gallop
Into the white sails.
