THE POWER OF PRAYER
by Anton Nguyen

When I was lonely on the first day of school,
The kids liked my jacket and I became cool.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

When I fell down and bruised my knee,
The teacher came to bandage me.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

When I forgot my money to buy food,
I drank some soup that my friend brewed.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

When I lost my umbrella and became all wet,
My friend drove me home so I wouldn't be upset.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

When it snowed and I was very cold,
The sun came out for me to behold.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

When I was so sure I had failed my test,
The results came in with mine being the best.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

When it was uncertain I would get into university,
The mailbox burst open with acceptance letters for me.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

When I had no job to start my career,
All these interviews would start to appear.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

When I was looking to create a family,
A beautiful wife came to me.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

When my baby was very ill,
The doctor cured him with a pill.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

As I watched my kids grow up to be mature,
I'm glad to know that they're safe and secure.
Thank you mom, for your prayer.

All throughout my life when I was in need,
Something would always help me succeed.
Thank you mom, for always being there.

MOTHER NATURE
by Anton Nguyen

Mom is like the sun, always shining in the sky,
But I've never seen the sun kiss you good-bye.

Mom is like the light, always helping me see the way,
But only mom will be able to brighten up my day.

Mom is like the stars that shine so bright,
But only mom can be my guiding light.

Mom is like a flower, so beautiful and sweet,
But I've never seen a flower with a love so complete.

Mom is like a tree, so big and strong,
But I've never seen a tree teach me right from wrong.

Mom is like a lake, so pristine, so clear,
But a lake cannot protect me and take away all my fears.

Mom is like the breeze, so gentle, flowing high above,
But I've never seen a breeze that can give me so much love.

Mom is like a snowflake, so beautiful, so true,
But just like a snowflake, there is only one mom like you.

Yes mom is like nature, so simple and true,
But only mom will ever love you too.

JUST IMAGINE
by Anton Nguyen

Imagine not being kissed good night,
By someone who will love you with all their might.
You would certainly feel very sad
And wonder if you did something bad.

Imagine not being told to wear your jacket,
By someone who won't make you wish you lack it.
You would certainly feel cold outside,
And wonder why the weatherman lied.

Imagine not being told to go to sleep,
By someone who doesn't want to hear a peep.
You would certainly feel very eerie,
And wonder why you look so weary.

Imagine not being aided when your scrap your knee,
By someone who will make the pain flee.
You would certainly feel a lot of pain,
And wonder if you will need a cane.

Imagine not being consoled when you're down,
By someone who will always banish your frown.
You would certainly feel very much alone,
And wonder who will hear you moan.

You've just seen a world without any mothers,
Which is a horrible world that is like no others.
So God sent us an Angel from above,
and named her mother to give us love.
