Reconciled!!!

“Come home… Come home!” I hear him say
You have stayed so far from home
I am hurt without you I’m heart broken
I long for your company I long for your voice
I’ve indeed missed you, our relationship is starved
You left me for another even when I loved you so
What happened to our love, our relationship?
We were so in love whatever went wrong? Tell me…

I was carried away by the pleasures of the world
They called to me with words so sweet
They made yours seem so sour and empty
They made our relationship look so boring… so empty!
I was lost, leaving your love as I flew with others
But my mistakes I have seen and now I am coming
I have also missed us… the communion we so shared
The fact that you love me even more when I left
Will you take me?

Yes I would have taken you already before you even asked
Just come back, come as you are, my heart is healed
I will give you a heart like mine and we’ll be one…COMPLETE!!!
Walk with me and be like me come talk to me about everything
Don’t hold back your love, you can put all your burdens on me
Trust me! Come home!
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you
You could learn the unforced rhythm of grace and my love
We could start again start our relationship again
Call me anytime of the day
I’ll eternally be available I could even answer before you call
I love you so much I gave my life for you
I’m ready to commit myself to you totally
I LOVE YOU and I AM NOT COUNTING YOUR MISTAKES

ONE CHANCE!!!

In the places no one can see
A cry calls forth like a Sultan’s kakaki
For expression for light it seeks
It calls from without and within
And I could stretch and stretch and stretch
I could even tear my bones out of my flesh
And reach out I would with even greater vigor reach out I would
You see, I already kissed my past goodbye
Told folks of my destination heights
My starting point the skies
Big plans big dreams big sights
All crumpled up to what now seems to be a lie
Cos no matter how hard I try
To touch or take a glimpse perhaps find out what my future is like
Beyond this heavily clouded skies of my present
The rays of its brightness would always stop short of my nail’s ends

To let go of my dreams and live in the past
To force a smile as fate hands me the defeated card
Yet cry in the rain wondering what should have come to pass
To point an accusing finger at my successful counterparts
To curse my luck and find an excusable fault
To stop trying and give up remains the easy part
Alas!!! I’ve come too far to let go now
If I could live through the absence
Of mama and papa cuddled over my cradle watching me do my nonsense
Their love teaching me the value of life’s essence
If I could learn to laugh till my ribs hurt
If I could find satisfaction in lack and wealth though poor
If I could find a friend when a brother was too much to afford
If I could beat the odds and survive the storm
If then I didn’t give up or surrender to the norm
I know I can breakthrough if given a chance but one

Though in this deep struggle for the top
Yet of this truth I’m so sure
That if given just about a chance I can conquer all
I wish I could scream for help from the rooftops
But I’m so filled with ravaging hunger and malnutrition queued up
Preoccupied with survival so I don’t notice as my mentality demons and my environment gang up
They struggle to drown out my cries my hope
If only one could hear my stifled moan
In the places no one can see
A cry calls forth like a Sultan’s kakaki
For expression for light it seeks
It calls from without and within
Perhaps someone will hear and give heed
Whether he be the eagle I seek or a mocking jay
Then that chance I need may come someday
I know I am just another orphan today
But if given a chance I know I will prevail.

If I could trade all
Just to raid off,
Then, I know
It’s never about me.
Give up most pleasures
Just to build up my treasures
Then I know,
It’s never about me.
Toil all night
To win all fights.
Then, it’s never about me.

Staining all the ego’s of life
Just to avoid the pains of the knife,
Then, I trust and know
It is never about me.
Sweating out day and night,
To make life pay and right,
Then, it’s never about me.

Watching the face around the fence,
Hoping that life will bring them defence,
Then, I know
It’s never about me
Watching smiles mixed with fears
Then, I know that the ends seems near
I just realized that hopes are raised high
As voices cry out miles.
Then, I said to myself,
It never could have been all about me.

Destinies wake up!
To responsibilities look up
For great men to fire on
Bringing answers to so many questions
Solutions to mud problems.
Laughter to frowning faces
Comfort to troubled souls
Hope to failing hearts
Sparks of joy to crying ears
And above all, salvation to lost souls
Then, we know, it was never about us.

Just like Jesus taught
In His pains He still fought
Living up to the story
Just to gain the glory
That we all might be free at last
Only because He understood the fact
That, it was never and would never
Be about Him!
ACT LIKE JESUS !!!

RECLAIMING MY CONFIDENCE

Leave a comment

Drowning in the ocean of mediocrity,
I felt i never had an ability;
It all seems like a disease in my mentallity,
That is even proclaiming my timidity;
It began as a feeling…
then a thought…
and it finally became my doom,
Thereby enclosing me in a sad room;
I just wanted to be free from this mindset,
but I felt I would still go down just like sunset

Truthfully, it was as if my mind slapped me,
Cause I couldn’t visualize any scene of greatness
I felt jinxed!
I began to realize that my problem wasn’t really with mediocrity,
It was with the word”confidence” in which i had lost in my own ability
I seem to believe that I can’t fly,
Possibly because I have no wing of self confidence;
I became sad, which made me feel bad
Even when I should be glad
However, I concluded that I don’t really have to feel confident
To actually be confident!
I can rise to the peak of greatness
If only I practice being confident…
