The Man With The Pen

Life makes you learn that great lessons are hidden in small moments, A few words in the heat of the moment hurt, Some words of encouragement to your stressed friend, These little things gain significance as days pass, A few words from your mother after bad day at school, Those hours together at school create lifelong friendships, Those silly jokes and names created by friends, Those game played with mates now distant memories, A hug from your closest friend after a bad result A kiss from your sister for the gift you gave her, A pat on the back from Dad for your hard work, These little shows of affection are what we miss when away,

Sports are life for some of us,  And for some it’s a way of life,  Watching our favourite players break records,  Is a joy that can't be explained, Life is like a game of soccer, You run, fight, pass and slide, When at last you score! It feels wonderful! Life is also like a marathon,  You keep running as if there's no tomorrow,  You stretch your energy to a limit,  Till at last, you see the finish line and give it your all!  Finishing it gives you a high! Sometimes, your arrows go astray,  No one hits their goals in one go,  Keep at it, don't give up, but, if you do,  Then you won't achieve what you want, When life serves you bad days,  The reply should be a volley of hope,  One never loses if you keep hoping,  For better days and fighting it out,  When you do that and win, life feels good! Be in the now, fretting about the future, c rying over the past,...

All through life we meet people, Some with emotions that are fickle, Some leave memories that make you tearful, Some will leave you feeling empty and feeble, Some will push you to work harder,  They know what you're made of,  They have faith in your abilities,  Never ever let them down, Some strangers will make your heart their home,  They will make your life nothing less than paradise,  Keep them close to you and love them,  They will put their hand up when your own desert you… No one in the world knows you better than your parents,  They see to it that we never have to face the troubles they did,  Our family shares with us sad and happy moments,  When you drift off the right path you will be helped back onto it…  Never lose hope because you never walk alone…
