Teen Thoughts
God's response to our cry
"Where there is a cross
There is a cry"
As we suffer and mourn
For ourselves, others and our nation,
Musing on killings and kidnapings,
Displacements war and floods;
Through all these, what does God want to tell?
Is that God testing our faith,
or that He needs our cry and mourn?
Lord does not; but He sees our courage in our life's storm
He also tells us, "You're able to be
A very present help, at this time of trouble"
Without our knowledge in our trial,
God carries and keeps us near his heart
See, there awaits us the crown,
Which the Lord, the Righteous Judge gives us;
God truly stands by us, in the time of trial,
Let's have living faith in Him!
Courage in Life's storms! God wants us to win,
And God gives us the chance, by this battle;
God knows best, what we can stand,
His tender succour is always by our side!

Only for you
Sun rises to me
With your sweet memories
Smile with me
Talk with me
All the day, At every minute
You are always in my heart
But not with me,
How can I hide my feelings
How can I pretend I'm alone
I know it's true
Your soul always with me,
I can feel the soft wind
Understand the murmuring
It's like my love
I can't see it
But I can feel it
I really love
To my unexpected love
Coz one day
It will become
My real, pure, true love
Only for you
Live in my dream
M. Madhu, Homagama.
The eve
Heart is running through everywhere
Searching worldly satisfaction
I know it is none other than
your adoration
Every moment it fills
my eyes with tears
'coz now you have become the adherence of mine.....
Though I refuse you many times before,
I know I did so to comfort outsiders
By doing so I too suffered too much like you
I don't want to hurt you any more
But you are still waiting for me
Without blaming me, even by a single word
For the things I have done stubbornly
That is why my passion is growing day by day towards you
Writing about you, is the only consolation to me, now
It is clear that we cannot be together anyday
That's why I'm always telling you and wishing
You to have a bright future except me
I know it is a great loss to me,
losing a person like you, but
Bid adieu, to our tale
By Chathuri Weragoda
A thought for the season
The season of love and caring
The period of peace and joy
The time has come
to forget the mistakes of the past
to forgive each others fault
And to recollect,
the beautiful memories of yesterday
It is the time
for all of us
to get together again,
to make this New Year
and the whole year following
A time of,
Happiness, peace and prosperity

Hope
As life passes by
My hope runs away
That you may not be
Coming back my way
I'm still waiting by
For your sweetness to come
To raise my heart back
To the hill top of love
My hope fades away
When you go away
So come back my darling
Come back my way.
Roanne
Amiable friend
Never expect gratitude
Neither amen! for all actions
Whenever I am in trouble
Guide me towards better ways
Always corrects my path
Do not allow to collect boodle
Better than my kith and kin
These are the ways of action
S. Hettige - Kuliyapitiya
On my death bed
Night has fallen, the stars have come out
And they seem to scorn and laugh at me as my candle dies out
So much I wanted to tell you,
So much I wanted you to see,
With you standing right beside me.
I wanted to smile, when you took your first step
I wanted to sing you lullabies when I put you to bed
Everything I knew, I wanted to let you know,
Everything I had, I wanted to show.
My time is running out, but I can't let go,
But the move I hold you here, the more my pain will grow
How much I love you, words alone cannot speak,
But now, facing death, I feel so small and weak.
My time to depart had come, my death bed awaits
It can't be stopped now. 'Tis too late
You are a hero, never forget that,
And I hope my disappearance won't change that fact.
Please let me say I love you, my dear beloved son,
For I truly do... my dear little one
