When hearts speak of gratitude,words lose their significance. When love takes up the mic of life,the only voice that rings in each heart would be love, love and love......

A life that seemed mediocre in the world's eyes 

But that of an angel to my childish heart 

For can somebody be so humane,kind and loving 

Like my man at the cross of Calvary?

 

He seemed a wonder to my confused mind 

For his mesmerizing and charming eyes never lied

He possessed life's strange yet rare art

To seal his emotions tightly in his heart.

 

Neither did this crooked world knew his existence 

Nor did it bow down before his greatness 

For he was raw,simple and just himself 

A man unlikely to be found on this material world.
