Behind the beautiful masks; the hidden pains

Image
  She gets haunted by her past, She tries to hide, but the pain always lasts Her make-up and the charm that she ignites Is only a camouflage for what she goes through at night He sings and dances in church He also plays the instrument so much Oh, how he hurts when no one looks How his worries are hidden by his good looks Little do we know that he is on the hook I know a friend who wants to help He puts our worries and fears in a shelf He takes them away forever If we can only rely on His love so tender Of our past and pain we can get rid From our fears and worries, He’ll be a lid Receiving Him is a decision for us Believing Him is the action for us His name is JESUS

Awesome

Image
Each time I think of you, It makes me feel like feeling you. Each time I work for you, It makes pleasing you pleasant. Each time I see the cloud,  It makes me praise aloud. Each time you show me that you are faithful, It makes my faith full. Each time I look at my family, It makes me convinced that you’ll never leave I guess the point is; Your creations, creatures and care are Just a summation of what you are:      AWESOME

A poem to my KING

Image
I might not be a skillful poet Yet, I’ll write a poem to my king I’ll tell him that my heart is set To raise my voice and to him sing For when it seems like I’m in a mess Rescue he’ll to me bring Even when I drift away from his presence His arms are always waiting for me to cling I worship you Lord for being my ever present KING

What we have in common -the good, better and best news

W hether we believe it or not, we all have certain things in common. Irrespective of your age, classification, race or environment, every human needs and daily seeks for real love. We all want to be accepted despite our faults and flaws; everybody wants to be the best that they can be, everybody wants a clear sense of purpose and direction to life. We all want joy and peace, we seek unity, and want corruption to end.  If any or all of these is true for you, then this message is for you..yes YOU. I have good news!! I have found THE ANSWER TO WORLD'S PROBLEMS, the answer to your fears, worries and insecurities. His name is Jesus; He is God. He created the world for a purpose. However, sin has turned the world away from God's original purpose and plan. For that reason, He {God} came to the world, in the person of Jesus to restore us back to Himself. His plan is to take everything back to the way it was in the beginning.  The better news is that Jesus died on the c...

How long child?

Image
How long would we go on like this How long? How long will you ask me questions And not listen to my answers How long? How long will you request for something Only to throw it back at my face when I provide it How long? How long will you keep crying And even reject a simple handkerchief from me How long? How long will you keep hurting me And saying “I’M SORRY” a million times and over How long? How long will you keep beating yourself for that mistake, and hide from me even when you’ve been forgiven How long? How long will I keep telling you That my arms are outstretched to reach you How long child? I've waited for long and I’m still waiting To show you that I’m ABBA Don’t be late child…

From Yonder-land to Wonderland and back

Down in the dark allies of a small African village sits a young teenage girl She stares into the skies, and at the moon and stars; lost in thoughts "What could be out there in the real world?" she asks herself forgetting that her world is as real as she makes it She has heard stories upon stories of the foreign land she has big dreams of one day traveling out of her village, going abroad and experiencing "Life" She sees herself driving fancy cars and wearing flashy clothes Smiles and a great deal of joy feel her heart until she is brought back to reality by her mother's voice; yelling at her to do the dishes :-( She goes ahead to do the dishes, still thinking of her W O N D E R L A N D !!!                                                                               ...

Me

I see me, but you also see me I see me as strong and capable But you see me as weak and feeble I see me as having a rich heritage But you see me as underprivileged I see me as a survivor But you see me as a destructor I see me as smart But you see me as stats We both see me but is that truly me? Is there more about me that I need to know? Is there more about .. .

An Encomium for a Virtuous Woman

Image
This is an encomium for a woman who has redefined what it means to be a mother Your children rise up and call you blessed, your husband also, he praises you “Many mothers have done virtuously, but you excel them all” You have taught me and all your children what it means to be a mother You have portrayed to us that mother is another word for love You gave even when it was inconvenient for you often using phrases like “Am I the first person to have children?” but you gave anyways You have thought me as a young lady that being a mother does not have to be biological That one does not need any special reason or occasion to love and give You opened up your home and heart to all in need You opened up your kitchen and even your wallet until you’ve given your very last I’ve seen you give your last penny, and then come in to wonder about how the family will feed Above all, you taught me what it really means to trust God through difficult situations I have watched you live your life, and I can...
