THANK YOU

Leave a comment

I have known the Father’s love for me
God has been good to me
He’s been good.
Through it all, He has been there for me
God loves me
I didnt earn it
I didnt bribe Him for it
He just loves me.
Years roll by,
Situations come up
Giants threaten me…
But, He has always fought for me…
I do get scared at times,
But, He has always comforted me…
Securing family and friends for me…
Providing for me,
Protecting me,
Building me…
Doing it all for me.
If all I can say is ‘Thank you JESUS!’
If all I can say is;’Thank you Lord, God Almighty!’
Then, I better say it well…
Cos’ my God has truly been good to me.

YOURS ALONE

1 Comment

It’s in you
A seed you have to grow
It’s called talents
Gift you are supposed to invest

Wonder why a child arranges broken glasses
And it forms a small sparkling galaxy
Why would a 6 year old pretend to be sick?
Only to ask, “What is tetracycline”?
Why else would a boy use his shoe lases
To replace his broken guitar string

Our talent makes us weird indeed
Because of it, we do stupid things
But that’s what makes us unique
So don’t tell me you don’t have a talent
As long as you are not dead yet
Please cultivate it and let it grow
It’s in you and you know it!

PARENTHOOD

Leave a comment

It’s no child’s play
It starts with a day
And gradually spans through the years
The children are always there
And you must always care

When it gets boring
Just sit and stare
There are always like-eyes meeting your glare
When it gets interesting
Enjoy it while it lasts
You sure need all those strained muscles relaxed

There is the dependence,
Which could be definitely irritating
The love that becomes overbearing
The tension that gets you sobbing
And the cheer that gets your eyes teary

Through the love and the pain
It’s a responsibility that you carry the burden
Be a proud parent
And live the life others respect.
