THE HOUSE THAT FORGOT HOW TO LAUGH

 There was no love missing in our house, because there was no love left to miss.That was our secret. We were not sad. Sad would have been easier.In House 24, 2nd Street, Germiston - the Molefes were perfect.6:00 AM - Alarm. 6:15 AM - Mom in the kitchen. The sound of the spoon against the pot. Same pot. Same porridge. Every day for 7 years. 6:30 AM - Dad at the table. Phone brightness on his face. He nods at Mom. Mom nods back. That's their good morning. 6:45 AM - Me and Junior. We eat with the TV on mute. Mom says TV at breakfast rots your brain, so we watch the pictures move with no sound.No one shouts. No one throws plates. Our neighbors who scream at each other at night - they have more life than us.We just... live. We pay. We eat. We sleep. We repeat.Then Mrs. Khumalo gave us the project."Grade 4s, for Life Skills this week: Record 10 moments your family laughed together."I took my pink notebook home like it was gold.DAY 1 - Monday I wrote the date and waited.

My Life

The journey of life
Chasing for glory and a good life
I will no longer live the life i lived when l was young
The time when parents were running the show
It was life without many  thoughts, it was life with more luxuries.
I now live my own life far from home
Working for my own good
My own produce my own pride
Ohm what new era in my life
Living it in the foreign lands
I started new things
Reminiscences of the past life still catches up with me
Who was l as a young person?
Now old age is catching up moving on with life
New things comes up
Responsibilities, my own family
All the requirements, their needs come from me
l have to work hard and make ends meet
By the glory of God all things comes up right
l look forward to the future
For life goes own, day after day till eternity
Challenges are there to make me grow
For they say if you face them, rise and shine above them
You have matured a new lesson will recorded in your mind.
Thank you Lord thank you
