When you’re alone,
Or with others,
Enjoy the poems
Between these covers.

Poems of love and hope,
Praise and pride,
The times we laughed,
The times we cried.

Through the years,
From birth till now,
We grew in number,
And thrived somehow.

Your natural talents
And acquired skills,
Fill my pages
With timely thrills.

You weren’t entitled,
You didn’t squander,
You earned the prizes
For your endeavours.

Read now how it came together.

Introductory poem for my anthology of family poetry.

Eyes.

I love looking into the eyes of people.

Don't get me wrong, at times it can be awkward.
But so much can be given and received in a blink of an eye.

All because of my decision to look up at you and not burn my eyes into the ground.

Our eyes carry life, they carry spirit, emotion; one that is unique to each and every one of ourselves.

My eyes can never be yours, nor can your eyes be mine.

This is because you have not seen what I have seen.
Nor will you behold what my eyes have held.

But still, when you pass by me, look at me, remind me of the beauty in humanity.

Show me grace in that twinkle of your eyes.

For every tear he will restore with twice the smiles.

"We are all depressed aren't we?
We are all in some pain in one way or another.
So it would be wrong of me to speak of how bad this hurts when I know some else is hurting even more,"
He thought.

"But I am always here and I am always listening"
His heavenly father replied.

Beauty

I was going to say...
An ugly beauty is a beauty where one thinks that beauty can only be found in one thing and that thing alone.

But many are not free to explore what is beautiful to them.

Some may have settled for the first thing they found beautiful because they thought they might lose it.

Or for some, they accepted that beauty because they were sure that it was all they wanted and perhaps needed.

But for those who refuse to see beauty in no other way than the way they have done before.... what can be said about them?

There is no God Vs Man

There is no God vs Man because,
‘God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise.’
1 Corinthians 1:27

There is no God Vs Man because,
'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways.'
Isiah 55:8-9

There is no God Vs Man because,
He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end.
‎Ecclesiastes 3:11

There is no God Vs Man because,
' For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whosoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have eternal life.'
John 3:16

The word of God is truth and light.
Final poem of 2024.
Thank you all for helping me grow my gift these past 6 months.
Merry Christmas all, may God continue to richly bless you and your families.

To the boy I allowed to have so much power over me.

To the boy I allowed to have so much power over me,
You were never the problem,
I was.
My heart was unable to comprehend the difference between you and lust.

So I struggled with God.
I could not bring myself to say that it was not lust or like.

So I hated you.

Yes you wronged me.
But I hated you.

You were in my life so I could learn from you.
But still, I hated you.

You were the sore representation of the area I fell short in,
the area which I need more help in.

So to the boy I allowed to have so much power over me, you are not just outer appearance you are also your dreams and ambitions, desires and future Godly nature.

To the boy I allowed to have so much power over me, I hope you treat the women in your life with care and love.

I pray you do not hurt another girl's heart because I am not too sure if they know that they have a strong Father who will always be with them like I knew I did.

To the boy I allowed to have so much power over me, please do not go through your life racing through fathers daughters.
Please succeed so your children can have a better life than you ever did.

To the boy I allowed to have so much power over me, please walk to God so he can make you a better man than you can ever be.
Please love the lord your God "with all your heart and with all your strength and lean not on your own understanding."

To the boy I allowed to have so much power over me, when you meet her, treat her with care, honour her and clothe her with respect.
When you wife her, do not let your eyes roam as you did in your immature youth.

To the boy I allowed to have so much power over me, when you have children, let them know you will always listen and always help them with advice.

To the boy I allowed to have so much power over me; become the man,
He wants you, to be.

The tearing thread of infatuation.

I urge you do not fall in love with the version of a person you make in your head.

Delete the roleplays you keep on repeat in your mind.

Ignore your heart's beating at the thoughts you normally accept that will lead you into an endless spiral of lust.

You never got the chance to speak to the person you wish to know.

You do not know their likes of their dislikes.

You only love the version of them in your mind.

Let go.

Please let go.
