RAIN
pitter patter
rain's coming near
clouds grow darker
can you see them dear?
splitter splatter
on the window
drizzling down
won't come in though
I love the rain
drizzling down
in little drops
all around
drip drop
running off a leaf
it's like a race
to fall underneath
plip plop
in the puddle
watch them fall
rings make a muddle
I love the rain
drizzling down
in little drops
all around

Me, myself and I
a christian girl
with standards high
and strict morals
she intends to stick by
an emotional girl
with feelings deep
and a beating heart
she's trying to keep
a caring girl
with many a friend
trying to help
other's hearts to mend
a crazy girl
who loves to laugh
and mess around
it's my other half!
a hardworking girl
who tries her best
and needs someone
to tell her to rest
a TCK girl
grew up overseas
one country, one nation
will never please
this is me
all i believe
everything i am
take it or leave

Smile
Smile for your house
Smile for your room
you're lucky you won't
be fleeing them soon
Smile for the roof
Smile for the wall
you're lucky you even
have them at all
Smile for your mum
Smile for your dad
you're lucky for parents
that some never had
Smile for your food
Smile for your drink
you're lukc you don't
have to scavenge or think
Smile at school
Smile as you learn
you're luck you can
pay for term after term
Smile cause of him
Smile cause of her
you're lucky they won't
be gone in a blur
some people here
in this worldly mess
don't have much
live with less and less
live in a shack
of metal and board
just get by
on what they can afford
some loose family
some loose friends
no money or work
food comes to an end
so i am really
trying to say
is remember them
and be grateful for today

To Mohamed
don't remember much
was a long time ago
but we were friends
he watched me grow
a little english girl
a little Omani boy
playing on the swing
must have been joy
he'd come to the door
ask me to play
or i'd squirt him with water
those were good days
photos of us all
sitting on the swings
dressed in uniform
smiles always brings
then we grew up
didn't play much
wasn't socially correct
separation as such
then I moved away
hardly saw him at all
in all seven years
just a handshake in the hall
i don't think either of us
really remember
a childhood long ago
but now it becomes tender
found out he died
just the other day
died in a crash
what else can i say?
now i write and cry
for a childhood friend
who i hardly know
who's life won't mend
no matter big or small
part of my life he was
now that he's gone
I feel sad just because
