Home Thoughts
by Claude McKay

Oh something just now must be happening there!
That suddenly and quiveringly here,
Amid the city’s noises, I must think
Of mangoes leaning o’er the river’s brink,
And dexterous Davie climbing high above,
The gold fruits ebon-speckled to remove,
And toss them quickly in the tangled mass
Of wis-wis twisted round the guinea grass;
And Cyril coming through the bramble-track
A prize bunch of bananas on his back;
And Georgie–none could ever dive like him–
Throwing his scanty clothes off for a swim;
And schoolboys, from Bridge-tunnel going home,
Watching the waters downward dash and foam.
This is no daytime dream, there’s something in it,
Oh something’s happening there this very minute!

What are you thankful for today?

I am thankful for our home, home sweet home!

On a cable car on top of the Alps
I could have said “Hello”
Slow reaction, I’ve to scratch my scalp
On the majestic view with snow

You could have seen me
You could have answered “Hi”
You’d make my day, I’d be full of glee
And I could reach for the sky

And that could be a start of us
Of friendship that might last
Am I such an unfortunate cuss?
I couldn’t help it but to feel downcast

Instead of dreaming here alone
An alternative of “hello” is “goodbye”
I should have a backbone and not moan
I promise next time I won’t be that shy

2 different stories for “Hello”

Oh love why are you so elusive?
What force of nature made me see you?
Your alabaster face among the crowd
Your eyes shining like diamonds
The way you walk, so elegant
I was going up and you down
On a cable car on top of the Alps
I could have said “Hello”
You could have seen me
You could have answered “Hi”
And that could be a start of us
Of friendship that might last
Instead of dreaming here alone
An alternative of “hello” is “goodbye”
