- AloneThese empty days and lonely nights When there is no one to share my thoughts, No warm and soft male body to hold me tight, I breathe the evening thinking of my loves lost. Nightfall. Storm winds roaring outside my home, The sky looks angry and cold, and am so alone Churning solemn memories and summer past, While the body turns fragile, and hair turning white fast. Where are the days of moon and wine and roses?, Where are the nights of joy and loving kisses? I can only sing to my self, and dance alone I my lonely, quiet,…

- We just need each other.Today as i was taking my breakfast, i bite my tongue. It was so painful. In the process i started to think about the pain, and tow things came to my mind- 1. I did not stop eating my breakfast 2. Yes, the pain was so much intense, but the teeth and my tongue still continued co- existing together in my mouth. How many times people, friends and even our family members hurt our feelings and we stop talking and having fellowship with them?. I just realised that no mater the pain , we should still reach out and seek…
- Life is worth LivingAs always there was great excitement in my family at the birth of a son. I was born in 1960 and my parents named me John which means Gods Chosen. After a few days I was diagnosed as having a congenital hiatus hernia, a condition that was re-diagnosed later in my life as a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). It was this diagnosis that has shaped my whole life. Even now approximately 50% of children born with a CDH die in or around birth and it is the 2nd biggest killer of infants and children in the UK.Way back 60 years…
