Tonight he sleeps alone
His chest rises and falls
In his quiet room
Lying still, so still
Tired, so deeply tired
Too tired even to dream Continue reading

Poems by Sandra Hillawi
Glorious Sun
A miracle of light
Warm power emerges from behind the cloud
Sun streams down to my thirsty body and soul
Bathing quenching generously strongly powerfully
Recharging my inner batteries
And then in a moment its gone Continue reading
Heavenly Rose
Heavenly heart soothing scent of the rose
Even as it harbours the fly and the tiny spider
Not sure who today has become who’s prey
Still the rose releases without condition
Its love fragrance to the world
Blind to its beauty until today when I stop to look Continue reading

I Wait For You
Through the darkness
I wait for you
Though the night is long my love

Valentine
Valentine Sung by Sandra to O’Neill Brothers melody of The Water is Wide
My love is far and out of sight
As I sit and contemplate this night
Of all the forces strong and weak
That thwart our love e’en as I speak
.
But though my love is far away
Still in my heart, still to this day,
The fire of love burns bright and strong
And will e’en though the wait is long
.
For no man e’er could take his place
This man of dignity and grace
My heart is given for all time
To you my love my Valentine ♥
.

Trust
Patience

Step with patience into life
As life will not be hurried
Let haste dissolve
Lest its waves thwart the coming
Of your very hearts desire
Release and be in faith
Where all life’s blessings will be received

A Wedding Poem
The Wedding Day
The day of celebration’s here
Guests await, hearts full of cheer
To witness joining of two hearts
That choose ne’er more to be apart
Who knows just when that feeling came
When life would never be the same
‘My love, my heart, you are my life
‘Honour me, become my wife’
Now bride and groom in sparkling beauty
Honoured guests with special duties
Friends and family bright and gay
Gather on this happy day Continue reading
Nobody Cares But We
There are no words for the misery that has befallen me
There is no solace for the loss I most fear
How long I have held fast to that life line
Through so many stormy winters and even rare summer days Continue reading
Wipe Away Your Tears
Darling
Wipe away your tears
Breathe deep and sigh
He was not alone
You were beside him when he died
He had the best son and friend
With him to the end
You were his last blessing Continue reading
For A Dear Friend
A light went out today
I lit a candle
For a great man and dear friend
We knew him as Dr Fouad
A man most kind
A brilliant mind
The most loyal and humble
We knew him, we loved him
Dr Fouad Continue reading
