My Brother

This is someone worth telling about..
He is completely 'of a kind'
With a different attitude all together
A wiser person you cant find..

An open book as is..; easy to read
And sky as is..; the purest of blue
His spirit it is..evil freed
At heart he is, the lightest dew..

Very carefree...as a childs laughter
It keeps bubbling, his sense of humour
Like all the lost joy, comes calling after
Cheers you up in the toughest hour

Melodious it sounds, ..a Rythm Devine
His tone bears that striking chord
Every line sung, sounds a gratifying hymn
Like his voice is addressing the Lord..

Sleeping is his hobby
Other than the passion for music
But he is not lazy
And enjoys life to the fullest of it

There is lot to learn from him
be it giving values or being dedicated
He is content with what life gives him
An example for a multitalented

Having him arround is great fun
The best part is teasing each other
He is best in everything..from being a friend to a son
There cant be a person sweeter than my brother...

Lost

Lost feeling to care
Lost sympathy to spare
Lost patience to bear
Lost sense to keep fair

Lost endurance, to follow restriction
Lost peace, to stop frustration
Lost power, to avoid attention
Lost strength, to shun aggression

Lost courage, to sacrifice
Lost kindness, to be polite
Lost temper, to keep quiet
Lost thought, to be right

Lost anger, to control
Lost opinion, to give poll
Lost desire, to keep goal
Lost myself, to have a role..

I Miss You

I never thought that I’m gonna miss you,
The friend I cherish and treasure like you.
I really never thought that I’m gonna miss you,
But here I am now missing yo

I remember the days when we’re together,
We’re like Romeo and Juliet as lovers.
Hangin’ on the phone talking to each other,
But here I am now alone to suffer.
You made my world go round,
You made me hear sweet sound.
You made my feet standing firm on the ground,
But here I am now, missing you and so down.

Will you ever come back to let me stand?
Is there a time for me to hold your hand?
I hope that time will come that I’ll never gonna miss you,
‘Cos that time is the time I’ll say that… I Love You

A Friend

A friend is someone who is there for you when he’d rather be somewhere else

Only your real friends tell you when your face is dirty
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.

Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.
A road to a friend’s house is never long.
I’ve always said that in politics, your enemies can’t hurt you, but your friends will kill you.
Count your age with friends but not with years.
A true friend sticks with you through thick and thin no matter what.
When a friend is in trouble, don’t annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
Friendship doubles your joys, and divides your sorrows.
When you die, if you’ve got five real friends, then you’ve had a great life.
True friendship is when two friends can walk in opposite directions, yet remain side by side.
Your friend is the person who knows all about you, and still like you.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
Everyone is a friend, until they prove otherwise.
Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life.
To be depressed is to be lonely; to have a friend is to be happy.
Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure.
Side by side or miles apart, dear friends are always close to the heart.
Friends never make assumptions about you. They never expect a reason to go out with you. In fact friends only expect you to be you.
Your friends are what will matter in the end.
The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend..

Oh Lord



Deo Clux



St. Francis of Assisi

 "O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is discord, harmony.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sorrow, joy.

Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not

so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life." 



What is Death?

                                                      Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are.


Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.


Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without affect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.


Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?


I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.

~ Henry Scott Holland

Gone Innocent

Ed like Jesus

Murdered without a fault

A death of shame

Beaten as a thief

If it were in Israel

Ed would have been crucified

Just like Jesus

And just as innocent

My heart is light

My soul is bright

Though eyes filled with tears

My heart rejoices

Because you went innocent

Because you went guiltless

Rest in Peace Edwin

I will always love you!

We all live to die

Life passes like smoke

Like a toss of a die

With death in each face

If Ed is gone,

Who is sure to stay?

For Edo

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay awhile, make footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same."

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
 
~From a headstone in Ireland


 
 
Life is eternal, and love is immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

~Rossiter Worthington Raymond

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

~Author Unknown

Leo Katika Kumfuasa Edo

Leo nitatenda kidogo
Chembe tu ya yeye alivyokuwa,

Edo's Mom

Nitatenda kwa upole na busara

Nitamtembelea rafiki,

Kama alivyopenda kuwatembelea rafikize

Nitampigia simu rafiki

Kama alivyopenda kuwajulia hali rafikize

Sitatupa taka ovyo
Kama alivyopenda kutenda
Nitajitahidi kuwa mnyofu
Kama alivyokuwa daima
Nitasoma kitabu cha maarifa
Kama alivyopenda kusoma
Wewe Je,
Utatendaje katika kumuenzi Edo?

Hope

"I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe."

- Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

For Ed

 "God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled."

Anonymous

"People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive.  It is as though they were traveling abroad."  

Marcel Proust

MISSING YOU

Hard to believe
That you are gone forever
I miss your company
I miss your calls
I miss your wisdom
I miss your friendship

Edwin Macha

I miss your loving
I miss your caring
I miss your understanding
I miss your facebook posts
I miss your views
I miss your scrutiny
I miss your presence
I miss everything from you
I got nothing
I can’t stand your absence
It’s all ‘vumbi vumbi!’
‘Mtaleban’ is gone

BAEC misses you
SAUT community misses you
Tambaza community misses you
Maua community misses you
Chekereni community misses you
Kanango-Kirua misses you

We all mourn you Ed
We all love you
What a tragedy!

Why?

Edwin B. Macha

Why life is such a pain,
Out of all the strain
There is nothing to gain
Why life is so unfair
Why is it such a bizarre
Why did nature let you go

What is the secret behind all this,
What reasons lie in the depths?

Why did they have you beaten
Why didn’t they inform your parents
Why didn’t they call the university
Why didn’t they believe your story
Why didn’t they let you eat
Why didn’t they rush you to the hospital early
Why didn’t they see the innocence in your eyes
Why didn’t they want you to live
