Poem Number 224 - Another Application - 30/10/1987

This bureaucracy of departments within ‘Aust’,

Is to the finer point, so legalistic,

To enquire for permanent employment,

On behalf of my future wife, who holds a holiday visa.

They tell me that legally she can’t be employed,

Until she receives an ‘O.K’, from the Immigration Department,

Whilst I am speaking to an officer of the Department of Commonwealth Employment Service,

So I make my excited call to this office.

And to my great surprise, there was more problems arising,

Since we are both getting married on December fifth.

On the seventh day, we lodge the application for permanent residence,

With another application called, ‘Application for Permanent Engagement Employment’.

Now, if you just submit both forms together and leave it with the ’Public Services’,

It may take another month before they agree to the ‘employment one’.

But if you are smart enough, you arrive there at nine in the morn,

Explain your circumstances and request for ‘Quick Assessment’.

This, if the request is accepted will be ‘O.K’d’ straight away,

Then my wife could legally start employment, straight away.

So that we both have incomes to build on in our life,

And live a life of a proper husband and wife. 

Poem Number 223 - Time To Come - 29/10/1987

Isn’t it wonderful to start a new family?

To decide in stars, how you will live with the woman in your life?

Each day presenting problems to solve, of which affect your family,

The problems of keeping to a unique plan for your everlasting life.

A new beginning, starts today with no end to the night,

The early morning shines after a short spray of showers,

To show the magic colors of the rainbow with the pot of gold,

For it is the rainbow, that leads the pathway to your lives.

Where there is an ending, there is found good fortune,

And for most living people of good Christian faith,

Their good fortune takes years and years of inner search,

With love of God’s family and all the families you know of.

There’s harmony of music in the soundless air,

But when you finally reach the end, the good fortune will be written there,

Satisfaction you will feel, if you so be deserve so,

Otherwise God will shake his head to say, ‘No’.

To have extend a family of a woman in my life,

To enjoy calling all of my in-laws, ‘Hello’,

To be thinking of children of the children we birth,

Is to be secure, important, sensible and positive of time to come.

Poem Number 222 - The Leader Of The Family - 28/10/1987

Decision making for another person I care for,

Is something that I haven’t had the chance to do before,

In some ways it makes you feel a little bit important,

But to be asked to do small jobs that end up with the decision feeling so good.

As a man of the future, marriage to the woman I dearly love,

I feel proud. I feel like the man I should have been years ago.

My pride is of my fiancé, who is perfect for me,

She pleases me to my hearts delight and stretches my daily smile.

To enquire of canceling her flight away,

To enquire of her important future employment,

To organize employment interviews, home dinner and togetherness sleep,

Is to pre-act the role of a true husband to mind.

How lovely it is to make the final assessment,

How unusual it is for me to make the important decision.

Does it mean that with my believe that a man is dominant,

When a man and a woman are in a deep relationship?

 I know that saying that, will cause the feminists to wonder,

They may think I’m a male chauvinistic bastard,

Let them think of whatever enters their mind,

For centuries, the man has always been ‘The leader of his family’.

Poem Number 221 - The Human Cycle - 25/10/1987

We are all born to live and eventually die,

But yet, there is a life, everlasting life,

After this death on this human earth,

This is the human cycle that is made of its worth.

Poem Number 220 - Women-Men - 23/10/1987

A marriage to a sweet young genuine woman,

A woman of such beautifullness, offspring’s of tender love,

A woman who respects a man, for the person he is,

As long as he looks after with proper sense of mankind to her.

No displeasing actions of hatred or anger,

No feelings of jealousy, or any sign of unhappiness.

Just mature adult reactions of good-natured people,

To soften the hearts and minds of one’s such loved.

Men are not considered to be, the most softhearted of the sexes,

And the ones that are to the extreme soft-heart, in styles of life,

Are considered the female of a homosexual relationship,

Of which society disregards their performance of life.

Women are considered not to be the stronger in strength of the sexes,

Yet the woman who are so strong, in their styles of life,

Are considered to be the male, of a homosexual relationship,

Of which society ignores their performance of life. 

Poem Number 219 - Fire, Land, Air And Water - 23/10/1987

My day of glory of everlasting happiness,

Is such a time of joy and smiles.

To my true hearts future, there is a bright light a shining,

A shining with glows of a startling rainbow stream.

The water, land, air are being sensed about,

The fire that burns the land, to bring new bush,

The air that helps the fire burns or stops the fires movements,

The water that puts out the fire and with air helps mother’s nature grow on land.

To be the fire, I am not,

To be the land I feel touched,

To be the air, I may be,

But to be the water, I will be.

This day of finalizing our marriage arrangements,

This day of warm, friendly and unforgettable forth comings,

Is a day of remembrance for my sweet fiancé and me,

To be proud of being together, with such love and tender care.

I am so proud to have met and to have loved,

I feel so happy to be loved and for me to love.

Yes! For the first time in my life, I will be joining my hand’s wife, a beautiful life,

A wife who cares, a wife whom loves and a wife who completely understands. 

Poem Number 218 - Marriage Of Future - 23/10/1987

To this date, marriage has not meant more to others,

Than just two people signing a legal document of ‘life binding’.

People seem to marry divorce and again marry & divorce,

Yet so many first marriages seem to represent false images of two people’s love.

Marriage is such an important step and decision in ones adult life,

That we even hear of marriages of conveniences.

Who knows if they couple that sign this document a both?

Are genuinely interested to share the rest of their lives together.

And yet, dramatically once living together under the same roof,

There seems to be a change in lifestyle for the individual.

Not realizing that for a continuous happy marriage,

Joint plans of every nature must be to both’s delight.

So correct decisions must be made on behalf of two not just one,

And on the way to the futures success, there should be a little fun.

Communication of all sorts must be attended too,

So that doesn’t get his or her wires crossed.

My marriage of future will be one of thoughtful thinking,

With my wife I will talk and listen for anything of importance.

Whilst plans of long term goals are passed by us,

I will always have fun, laughter and happiness with my gracious wife.
