RESIDENT'S POETRY

Many a door was open to me as “Mirikai” as the “Key”.
I discovered 191 West Burleigh rd, to my achievements of what could be.
I found that I had choices
Life has much to give if only we are wise enough to stick with “Mirikai” as there program was the best decision for me.
Now that I have detoxed, my dreams can be fulfilled for me or she.

Somewhere in the depths of this world and creation
Lies a place of peace and of quiet elation
To venture there is a courageous feat
One which some are destined to repeat
If you manage to get and your fear starts subsiding
Your hidden away, where there is no hiding
When you are confronted a beast will arise
It reflects the unknown, which known, you despise
You feel scared and alone and re-arranged
But you’ve gained the wisdom and the courage to change
To survive in these depths is an endeavor
But its serenity should last you forever
A long time passes, you look around
It’s not Mirikai, its yourself that you’ve found

LOVE

Love is like a lump of gold
It’s hard to get and hard to hold
Of all the guys I’ve met
You’re the one I can’t forget

I do believe that god above
Created you for me to love
He picked you, from the rest
Because he knows I would love you best

I had a heart that once was true
And now its gone from me to you
So take good care of it as I have done
For now you have two and I have none

Once I get to heaven and your not there
I’ll wait for you by the golden stairs
And if your not there by judgment day
I’ll know you’ve gone the other way

So I’ll trade my golden wings
And other precious things
Just to prove my love so true
I’ll go to hell to be with you
