Love is an attitude, love is a prayer,
For a soul in sorrow, a heart in despair;
Love is good will for the gain of another,
Love suffers long with the fault of a brother

A tribute to Joshua
Poems are never my forte, and neither my prose are as comparable to the literate pros. But this tribute I have to write, before buddy vanishes out of sight; into the dense unknown I might add, on a ferry through the straits of time, bound for a place of memories named...tekong. It is cold dark and green tonight. So without a choice I have to do what I do best. I..... just whack...
To Joshua:
Thanks Joshua for each and every morning
your company and prayer was very much my thanksgiving (well the others included too)
Thanks Joshua for each provocating jokes
they are still stucked in my head
Thanks Joshua for having the same name as a book of the old testament
it helped me to 'be strong and courages' as I lead tj sv
Thanks Joshua for always being so serious
it forces me to lay aside my childish nature
Thanks Joshua for being so crappy
it means I can be crappy too (yay!)
Thanks Joshua for introducing me to bleach
see lah now I'm hooked on it T_T
Thanks Joshua for your idle chatter and self indulgence
it inspired me to write a blog; furthermore, in the middle of prelims..thanks ah...
Thanks Joshua for the sophisticated english language writing prowess you've displayed on your blog
it also inspires me to do the same...albeit an utter failed attempt
Thanks Josh for being such a words-fail-to-describe friend
for the many cares and support you've showed me through the year, especially the most recent incident (yea that one involving my family)
Thanks Joshua for praying for me
I'm praying for you too =)
Thank you josh for also spuring me on through the A level year..to study..though your method may not be the most friendly but at least its logical =P But not forgetting about the traces of encouragement and all still left on the tagboard.
Below is actually a poem (well I hope it looks like one) that I compose for friends of mine leaving singapore for overseas. Well though its only tekong its still overseas right? Apology if it sounds a little weird or inappropriate or just doesn't fit the occasion...its still needs some amandments/improving
Goodbye
Troubles and joy lies ahead
Who knows what the future would hold
Day by day with toils and pain
We go through life as it’s a game
Deadlines, meetings and expectations
All to be dealt with one by one
But blessed are those who hope in the Lord
Whose strength are restored and wings spread
Trusting in his perfect plan
Plans to prosper and not to harm
But blessed of the blessed are the likes of you
Who have people to care and comfort you
Even when the going gets tough
And life may seem a little too rough
Always remember a dear old friend
Not eighty but eighteen years old
Back here in your sweet home town
Not selfish to wish you were back
But praying you are safe and sound
So write in often to tell your story
Of how God has course this Journey
And the tales of life’s great adventures
Which I know is full of wonders
Thus never forget this faithful friend
And always remember
That this farewell is not the end
Goodnight
