You Made Me Believe

I was a cold and empty shell,
So far removed from this world where I dwelled.
I passed through life like a ghost in time,
My thoughts and emotions, I never opined.
Making barely a ripple in the water of life,
I kept to myself and stayed away from all strife.
I chose not to live because I was afraid to feel.
So burnt by a past, I could never be healed.
And then you came and changed my world,
Dreams long gone began to unfurl.
You warmed this ice cold heart of mine,
And thawed what had been frozen in time.
You brought me back to life again,
And helped me see it was worth the pain.
I thank you for your certainty,
For you made me believe… in me.

Classic Lines from the Kids

Found these oldies from way back when the boys were still only little... The one bout the shoes I was trying to help G1 understand what it feel like to be the other person. Me: You have to put yourself in their shoes and try to understand what it must feel like. What would you do? G1: I would take my shoes back. Where's my drink? G1 was attending the cooking class at Marche. The doorman was teasing him about the drink bottle in his hand. Doorman: Where's my drink? G1: At the supermarket. Old and New G1: Aunty L gave me this. BK: She's Granny L to you, G1. G1: Why? Me: You need to call her Granny L because it is a sign of respect. She's a lot older than you. G1: She's older than me? Me: Yes. G1: Am I new? Where are your manners? Daddy: Where are your manners, G1? G1: I left them at school. The gentleman's toilet G2 needed the toilet. As I usually do, I tried to take him into the ladies restroom with me. G2: I can't go in there! I'm ...
