DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

I sat up one morning pondering on this words;
"Dare to be different",
And wondered its essence in a season such as this:
A season that applauds evil and persecutes good,
A season that everyone does what seems right in their sight,
not minding the consequences,
A season that everyone wants to belong and no one wants to be left out,
A season were everyone follows the dictations of their heart and above all,
A season were the fear of God is obsolete....
I really pondered at these words,


"Dare to be different",
"why be different"?

LIFE

I've always wondered at life;
Its beauty, its ugliness,
Its joy, its sorrows,
Its fairness, its biasness,
Its gains, its losses,
Its fullness, its emptiness,
Its light, its darkness,

GOD'S LOVE

His love seeks to transform me
His love seeks to give me Joy
His love seeks to draw me nearer to Himself
When those I had loved, laboured and slaved for,
Disappointed and left me in the cold.
He came radiant

A DONKEY'S WISH

I am so gentle, burdened and heavy laden,
Yet willing to be subject;
I never complain 'cos that is my duty.


I look fragile and tender,
seeking for attention, but not finding any.
Indeed grossly misunderstood I am, 
By the one who owns me.


A large reserve of strength,

YOU'RE THE ONE

Downhill and uphill
My path has always been,
But I keep on going
Because I have a friend
whether I'm loudly praised
Or if critics should blame,
I have a constant friend
Who is each day the same.
I oft say to myself
When slightly discouraged,
"But you have a real friend",
And that grants me courage.
I'm not a good loser,
I really love to win
But either way I know
I have a changeless friend.

THE VOLCANO WITHIN

A sudden rumbling,
A great roar!
And out was spilled,
All that was welling up inside.
Consuming what lay within its path;
As it snaked down the valley of Human actions,
Making sure nothing escapes its mighty outburst;
While leaving

FAITH'S HALL OF FAME (HEBREWS 11)

The door opened for me to walk through;
For an invitation had been given to come tither.
Relunctantly I agreed to go.
Presenting my invitation at the door, 
I sought the face of him who stood at the entrance,
To bid me proceed.


Plantarflexing courteously, the way in he showed me.
Stepping into the hall hesitantly, a breath-taking sight I beheld.
The hall glowed of an inexplicable light, 
A glory beyond one's comprehension.
Still trying to fathom this great sight,

THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE

A dry rugged terrain,
A place not friendly for human habitation.
Spanning across it, the thorns and thistles,
Plants of no economic importance.
Giving you a hard time, throughout the journey.

Patched and uninviting,
lurking within it, the terrors of mankind.
Completely forsaken,

I LOVE THE FATHER WHO HAS MADE THEM ALL

I love the rising of the sun
Ushering in the blessings of a new day,
Its radiance in the horizon so unfathomable;
In reflection of the one who made it.

I love the flowers of the field;
The cacophony of their colours, a beauty to behold,
Thankful always to their creator;
Who never fails to clothe them with splendour.

I love the birds that sing melodiously,
Giving praises just before dawn,
In tones music cannot fully comprehend;
To the one who never forgets

I HAVE A STANDARD !!!

   I'M NOT DOING IT !!!
   WHY NOT, WHY WAIT ???

I respect my self too much
I'm saving it for marriage
I make life long decisions with my head, not hormones.
I don't owe it to anyone;
If you cared you wouldn't dare;
God's plan is the best.

I need real love

DESIRE

Rises without warning,
Yet not easily subdued.
Useful when harnessed properly,
Destructive if allowed to run wild.
But what is man without it?
when pregnant, it brings forth achievements,
And failure a product of its abortion.
Hear it calling

CONSISTENCY

PRACTICING WHAT YOU PREACH

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day.

I'd rather one should walk with me than merely show the way.

The eye is a better pupil, and more willing than the ear.
Fine counsel may be confusing, but examples are always clear.
And the best of all preachers, are the ones who live their creed.
 For to see good put into action, is what everybody needs.
I soon can learn to do it, if you let me see it done.
I can watch you hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run,
And the sermon you deliver

NEURO-MADE-EASY

 REFLEXES

Oh! how I love the Reflexes,

A benevolent Spirit come to earth.
I planterflex uninvited,
Yet a welcomed steward.
For my sake you rob the mouth to pay the stomach,
And in my sorrows, you blink away my tears.
With you inside and outside I have no fears.
Please don't go for good
