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. Dinner....

The Sailor
i am not a smooth sailor
the journey is rough, the journey bampy
i keep on going
for i know l will reach my destination.

the waves twists and turns me but
still i  will be on the right course
the waves and tides threatens to bring me down
deep under the sea bed
but still cant bring me down.

the might's eyes are glued on me
safe in his hands, overcoming the barriers.
passing through those obstacles
he will be guiding jealously.

for it is said
whats hard to us as humans
is nothing in the kingdom of God.
i am like a pony
a pony in a chess game.

the master pushes it forward &  sideways
it will never go backwards
for that's how the Lord guides us
life can be tough, seem like you are the only left on earth.

know that you are not alone, for Lord is with you
they might seem to be no way at  the end of turnel
God will provide one
for where there is a will they is a way.

i love you Lord
i give myself to you
in good and bad times
till eternity.
