The Walley

In my journey to the land of milk and honey
I landed in a job at the Walley
A vision to work hard and know the culture
372 days of living what I aimed for

It takes a little time to fall in love 
With the beautiful people God made me meet and have
This is my greatest reward in my cahiering job 
To my mem'ries pictures of tiring,funny, crazy, sweet days I all add

The whisper of the heart 
Forlife's amazing part
Delivers tears upon a face 
Because of God's amazing grace

Here is hard night to sleep 
The well of good thoughts is now way deep
I see beautiful faces one by one
And appreciate all what GOd had done

There were days that I had been blown away
Like this encounter I had with a little boy
On the door way as I was people greeting 
He took my hand and kissed it, isn't that the sweetest thing?

As busy life gets 
This generous man didn't forget 
To pause and give a hand
HE ran and paid for the goodies of this homeless man

If love is all around this is the place to see
Simple ways of people to show caring in a very warm degree
Cards, flowers, chocolates, ice cream and other goodies
Simple store experience becomes a valuable day in one's life story

In this work place I find
A lot of humble people who are kind
My workmates as family and friends
A network of dilligent people and helping hands

I thank God for giving me a chance
Warm smiles that captured me even just seen once
To acknowledge, act, and appreciate 
Formula which makes a beautiful world we are all able to create

      Donnington Grove Hotel and Country Club  Newbury RG14 2LA, United Kingdom   8 September 2024 -  A beautiful morning walk around the forest  To walk in your dream  Traveling on clouds beam  Feeling the cold autumn breeze  Enjoying an Italian drunk cheese Faces and paces switch    Different destinations reached                                                                                                             Through a woven extraordinary link  History, culture, and arts flashed in a blink  Giving you goosebumps and fuzzy feelings     Left you in awe in your meandering            ...

Why I fell in love with the Metro

What happens when you pack your bag and go? To the place that you're uncertain what to sow? You take courage and watch life flow To where you're heart and soul hopes to grow Then you are there carrying the bag of dreams Walking and running toward life's realms You are there with a heart so free So close of becoming of who you want to be Surrounded by very tall buildings Composed of room where telephones ring Sounds like a new place In store is a set of new race When you are pointed in a direction thrice Follow it and don't think twice It is the course prepared for you Take the challenge for it's brand new Then when you reach the door Remind yourself there's something in store Something valuable and beautiful For you to experience a life that is full Then when you get inside Be humble and throw that pride Empty your hands out Let you be filled again with life's art Then when you are part of that race...
