Poems by Nadine S.Youssef
My Life
Far in the horizon, my heart is glowing
Working, searching, planning was my drawing
With help from above I reached my goal
Now, I can breathe with a clear soul.
Born without my consent
Growing up, studying, working this is how it went
Today after a long ride I review my journey
With joy, pride, happiness and tourney
Feeling as a proud winner
In that strong rough spinner
Thankful to all who led me through it all
From parents, family, teachers playing their role.
Love the world and watch its bright side
Look at it with a peaceful glowing light.

My Journey in Life
Life is a long twisted journey to follow
The road is drawn by your thoughts
Bad Actions help in the making of sorrow
But wisdom is the idea you brought
It is you who play as a painter
Paint your canvas of living colors
Optimism is always brighter
Smell life and the scent of flowers
Straight, this road facing you
From the start stand tall and strong
Think fair and wisely, too
Follow the right path And avoid all wrong
It is easy to say!
Trying, is a long way.
Conquer is possible
Victory is reachable.

Growing Old
Time passes and years fly,
Thoughts become stronger and dry
Looking and scanning the past, helps you draw your way
Retire, rewire and prepare for your future and say
Life is full of surprise
Choose and be wise.
No magic, several changes
In small and big ranges
What you built will not last long
In a minute it can go wrong.
Learn to smile and appreciate
Be strong and recognize your fate
You will see people in your life who will impress
Some other create a life full of stress
Learn to live and adapt to all
The good the weak but do not fall.
Let the sun shine your way
Do good deeds rejoice and pray.
You can create your joy on that earth
Try to see and feel good from birth
Reject negativity and darkness
Welcome positivity and brightness

My Life and Memories
As I search and try to watch my life go by
I see joy, laughter and happiness
Concentrating on the beautiful time, OH my!
Family reunion, birthday, parties no less
Time spent with real friends and inspirations
Filled with love, encouragements and motivations
Lived to the fullest every second
Did it all my way
Enlighten by the sun ray
Creating healthy positive amend
Life is not always smiling at you
Try to find out the brightest avenue
Follow, enjoy and accomplish your dreams
In a safe and modest way with eyes agleam
Do not think of the past and its deceptions
Look at the present and its perfections
The past is history, the future is mystery and the present is a gift!

My Lord is my Light
A light from above is hovering over me
Picked me up from shining crowd
Held my name and made me see
The road to be successful and be proud
We all go through ups and downs
Instead of complains and frowns
Be strong fight your motions
Work it out and see devotions
Try to follow your guiding light
Invite happiness, thankfulness and positive sight
Let the Lord draw your future
Planning your road. No worry for sure
In his hand is my life and soul
I owe him my success, my life and all
The one who opened up closed doors
Is the one who helped me in my falls
Thank you for being my guidance
My support, my teacher and my sight
You filled me with love joy and patience
You are and always be my guiding light.

A Teacher's Thoughts
On my way to review my youth
Searching, founding the truth
In this big round ball
I learned you always need to fight a fall
Helping the world and its adamant
Avoiding the roads to sadness ,darkness
Spreading the light ,happiness and brightness
Seems my path future investment.
Choose my way to fulfill my dream
To help, care, share
To always play fare
Was reachable not extreme
Here I am looking at you
With my heart filled with love
Open up to me, feel the dew
covering your body from above
I'll offer my help everyday
For a healthy recovery on its way
Trust me I'll do my best
Teach you to do the rest
Caring is my name
Helping is my game
Spreading peace is my aim
Wishing you a bright future is my fame.
