Help
Gods1son Jan 2020
It is often said that you should help the needy
But did you know help is not limited to money
Some people just need someone to listen
Some need a reminder that they matter
You probably know someone who needs a hug
Or someone who needs to be shown some love
Some help can be given at little to no cost
Reach out to help someone today.

Kindness
Gods1son Jan 2019
Always show little acts of kindness
If you can, offer the big ones too
It could heal the recipient's (unseen) wounds
It could spark hope again in the receiver

A "tiny" favor can make a person believe again
It could awaken a mustard seed sized faith
Powerful enough to move mountains
Offer the help expecting nothing in return

Just like the Sun,
Let your light beam
You might be waking up sleepy dreams
Do good and do it again and again!
75 · Oct 2018
Note to self
Gods1son Oct 2018
You have greatness on the inside
You can be what you wanna be
You can storm any weather

Things might not always "look" good
But it would work out for the better
Stay calm and say your prayers

Be wise, open your mind
So that you don't get cheated
Be fair to all, regardless how you're treated

Above all, submit to love and let it dominate
Never associate with hate
Remember, you were born to be great!
I like to remind myself always

Feedback
Gods1son Feb 2020
Receive feedback with an open mind
But don't let opinions drive your life
Examine the words said unto you and
sort them accordingly –
Some are to be disregarded
Some are to be considered
Some are to be implemented
People are not always right and
they are not always wrong either.
Listen carefully and act wisely!

Toy

Toy
She didn't get toys when she was young
She finally got herself one... My heart!
Loool

Your Space
Gods1son Jan 2019
I'm willing to join NASA
If that is what it takes
To be in your space

Even the Sun
Cannot fathom
The radiance of your face

Recieve me into your world
And I would seek no other place

Word to America
Gods1son Dec 2019
You can't legally treat them differently
any more because of their skin color  
So you slap them with criminal records,
To give yourself a reason to treat them
In a way you won't even treat animals.

Those chains and cages are nothing new,
We've seen them before in history
******, criminal, ex-felon...Different tactics,
Same goal – Subjection & Oppression
Crookedness spanning through generations,
It's high time these wickedness be stopped!

Misunderstood love
Gods1son Jan 2019
All she wants is an undying love
But she failed to recognize one
when it came her way
She's got a photoshopped image of love in her mind
The Hollywood type

The smooth sailing
Never bumpy
Always sunny
Two four seven glittering type

A few genuine heart has come and passed
Now, she's like a boat; crashed and sunken
Drowning in her misunderstanding of love
If only she would open her eyes and heart to see

That in love, we can disagree to agree
Mutual trust and respect are crucial things
Two beings bonded to ride through
The peaks and troughs of life
73 · Feb 2020
Sheer unity
Gods1son Feb 2020
We as a society need to match onwards
leaving hate, greed and jealousy behind
Why spend billions preparing for wars
while millions of people are living in poverty
Segregation & division isn't the way forward
Let's hold one another's hands in harmony & sheer unity.

Twenty-six Letters
Gods1son Feb 2020
We have only 26 letters in the English alphabet
And we've been able to and still continue
to weave them and knit them into
astounding poetry, short stories,
song lyrics, love letters and more...

So, never think that you are not enough
Because with what you have, you can weave
and knit yourself into who you wanna be.

Ransom
Gods1son Apr 2019
One of the saddest things in life
is for a parent to lose their child
Yes, it's very sad!
That's what The Father went through
when He sacrificed His only begotten Son
An action inspired by His love for us
But here is the twist
His sacrifice wasn't a loss
But a multiplication
of His daughters and sons
What an excellent price and investment
One life laid down to gain the life of all
Glory!!!

My observations
Gods1son Oct 2018
This phone in my hand coupled with internet is a key to an arena of information, access to vast knowledge but not necessarily wisdom

I see a staircase in front of me
Reminds me everyone is trying to climb up the ladder
It's a game of gaining relevance, accumulating riches and wealth

I see a very old couple
Helping each other climb the stairs
I said to myself
This is what love really is!
Just random thoughts that do not relate!

Rubik's cube
Gods1son Jan 2019
I bet you would solve
Rubik's cube in two seconds
My broken heart pieces,
You put together
Into a magnificent whole
With peace domiciling in my soul
72 · Oct 2018
Past
Gods1son Oct 2018
Put the past in your past
But let the lessons learnt last
As long as you last.
72 · Feb 2020
Evolving
Gods1son Feb 2020
One of my goals is to keep evolving
Daily, I try to do something challenging
I try to stare my fears in the face until
they get used to my face.
Life is a personal race, others aren't
competitors, they are just runners too.
My previous best is what I want to outdo
I don't want to reach the end of life to
regret all the things I could have done
I have a goal to leave no stone unturned.
72 · Sep 2018
Scene
Gods1son Sep 2018
Did you see me on the scene?
I always wanted to be seen
No one happens to see
Now, I'm losing my drive
I can barely thrive

Just wanna prove a point
Keeps ending in nought
There was always a but
No one ever bought

I stopped trying to satisfy
God began to magnify
Yes, He did pacify
And now, I testify!
72 · Jan 2020
Priority
Gods1son Jan 2020
Walk it like I talk it
I guess we can all agree that
It's easier to talk it than to walk it
So this year, let's do the walking first
And let our results do the talking
Because results speak louder than voice.
71 · Mar 2019
Persist
Gods1son Mar 2019
Keep your head above water
Get the air into your lungs
Keep the blood flowing in your vessels
When there is life, hope exists
The end of the tunnel is near, just persist
The sun will shine again
Just believe a little more
Winning is guaranteed
71 · Feb 2019
Let it fall
Gods1son Feb 2019
Don't hold back the tears
Let them fall
It's not a sign of weakness
Imagine,
Everyone is trying to reach for the sky
But sometimes
The sky's mind is heavy with clouds
And it cries
So my dear, let the tears drop
Clear your mind afterwards
And pick yourself back up again
71 · Sep 2018
New day
Gods1son Sep 2018
It's a brand new day!
There's so much to achieve today
Don't be held back by previous failures
You can surpass previous successes
Double dare your fears
The only limit is yourself
Remember to be grateful!
71 · Jan 2020
Doubts
Gods1son Jan 2020
Doubts might knock on the door of your mind — which is reasonably fine
But you mustn't allow doubts knock you
off your feet
You have a great deal of power housed within
Never underestimate what you're capable of
You might be starting later or running
slower compared to your peers
But that doesn't infer how far you can go
You have all it takes to reach your goals
Just go! March on, ignore all the doubts.
71 · Jan 2020
Comfortable confinement
Gods1son Jan 2020
Don't be confined into your comfort zone
It feels safe inside but it slows down growth
Break the routine, it has become boring
Learn a new thing and feel the adrenaline
Open your mind, broaden your horizon
Make a shift, take new calculated risks
And experience unprecedented growth
The only one who can stop you is You
The person you need to do it is You.
71 · Feb 2019
Healing
Gods1son Feb 2019
Heart is covered with blood platelets
Excruciating pain finally subsiding just
After making conscious decision to
Let go of all the things causing the pain
In the first place
Never to look back again, even though it hurts not to but
Gaining my peace is my utmost priority
70 · Dec 2018
Loving
Gods1son Dec 2018
I'm falling for you just like rain
I can't get your thoughts out of my brain
I dare not call you a reckless driver
But you are driving me crazy

Can't wait for the day, you will bear my last name
Run the same course like we're on the same train
'cause your goals and visions I will support like mine
We are both naturally gifted
Let's team up and mine these resources

Let's hold hands and walk the path of life together
You are my chosen
And there is none other
You are my heart and my lover!

Dreams
Gods1son Jan 2020
There are dreams that you see
when you are deep asleep in bed
And there are dreams (ambition) that
keep you awake even when you are in bed
70 · Sep 2018
Tabula rasa
Gods1son Sep 2018
Sweet and bitter
Smooth and crooked
Hills and valleys
Plenty and lacking
Wins and losses (lessons)
Peace and divisions
Yes and no

It is said that we are born tabula rasa
Listed above are the inks that wrote on our slate
They have painted the picture of who we are till this date.
There are more inks that you can think of!
Our experiences and our how we reacted to them made us who we are today!
69 · Jan 2020
Knowledge
Gods1son Jan 2020
Applied knowledge is what produces results
But it doesn't hurt to share what you
know even if you haven't applied it yet
'cause you never know who it might help
68 · Sep 2018
The Past
Gods1son Sep 2018
Should I hide all these scars?
But they remind me to shoot for the stars

Should I forget the pains?
But they remind me of the resulting gains

Should I forget the cries?
But they really opened my eyes

Do I really have to forget my past?
But they do remind me troubles don't last
When the pain of the past sorta makes you feel good!
68 · Sep 2018
It's You!
Gods1son Sep 2018
When people talk to me
I only hear one voice
When I look at people
I only see one face
With all the cologne around me
I only percieve one scent

Feels like I am submerged in you
Feels like my abode is you
Feels like my world is you
Feels like...
                              All I said is True!

Under construction
Gods1son Feb 2020
During construction,
sometimes, a tearing down
is necessary before
a building up can occur.
In life, to attain a new level,
certain things are needful to
be torn down, like -
repressive beliefs and ideologies
past hurts and failures
doubts and fear of failure.
Patching can sometimes
hinder a total transformation
from taking place.
67 · Oct 2018
Safe place
Gods1son Oct 2018
In an environment of genuine love and unity
That is where peace resides
Happiness never goes missing
There is a sense of security
There is clearness of purpose
Everyone experiences growth
Sound health is a bonus
66 · Jan 2020
Disguise
Gods1son Jan 2020
It's not all cries that appear as red eyes
With tears flowing through the cheeks
Some cries appear as a smile or a grin
Only if you look close enough
You'll realize that the smile is a cover-up.

Love
Gods1son Jan 2020
10 commandments summed up
into 2 with only 1 theme — Love
Love the Lord thy God.
Love your neighbor as yourself.

Switch
Gods1son Sep 2018
Let's switch bodies
Let's change lives
The grass is greener on your side
You got it all fine

You have all the things I dream of
You have it all straight, nothing off
You've made it really far
I can see clearly from afar

I had a coffee break with you
You shared all the things you go through on a daily basis
And how you are tired of all the crises
Flashy on the surface, beneath very stormy

Did you just say that! You are willing to trade your riches for peace of mind
Whoa! I left with a changed mind
Learnt to appreciate what's mine!
64 · Jan 2019
Hello
Gods1son Jan 2019
You whispered the word "Hello"
Little did I know
That it was a seed
A short convo ensued

That day, I watched you leave
But the seed was already growing leaves
I just knew it would bear fruits
Within me, I felt the roots

How handsome you looked in that suit
With me by your side as the Queen
As we walked the aisle
To a new phase of life
63 · Jan 2019
Soul-to-Soul
Gods1son Jan 2019
Open the windows of your heart
And see me with the eyes of your soul
Behold God's work of art
Maybe not shiny but definitely whole

Exterior beauty diminishes
See beyond the veil
Beyond the object that will decay
Let's see Soul-to-Soul
63 · Jan 2020
One with self
Gods1son Jan 2020
Focusing on people's opinions of you
Or giving priority to what they would think of you
Those things come in the way of self-discovery.
If your happiness is tied to a person,
what happens if they switch up on you
Only a few things beat being one with self
Embrace your journey with all that comes with it
Applaud yourself, appraise yourself.
We need one another but you need
no one more than you need yourself.
63 · Feb 2020
Give it time
Gods1son Feb 2020
Seeing a tree without
leaves during winter
Reminds me to let go
of my concerns & worries.
The things that don't look
right, right now
Will soon turn around
it's only a matter of time
Give the tree a few months
And it's all green again.
63 · Feb 2020
Waste
Gods1son Feb 2020
To waste something isn't limited to
throwing something of value away
It could also include leaving a
resource untapped or unused
Imagine a healthy eagle with
healthy wings but wouldn't fly
Or a healthy fish with healthy fins
but chooses to not swim
Or a person with talents and gifts
but wouldn't develop and use it.
63 · Jan 2020
Fruition
Gods1son Jan 2020
What God started for me in the physical
He's finished it already in the spiritual
On the journey, if my legs tremble or
when it seems like I am out of moves
I am confident that God will come through
Because I know His word is forever true
He's called me the head and not the tail
He's the God Almighty who doesn't fail
He's gone ahead of me and left me trails
All the things He's said, I'll bring to pass
That all the glory might be to His Holy Name.

The Love Cycle
Gods1son Jan 2020
By loving God is how
you learn to yourself.
By loving yourself is how
you learn to love others.
By loving others is how
you show that you love God.

Wisdom
Gods1son Feb 2020
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated,
full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality,
and without hypocrisy.​
James 3:17
61 · Jan 2020
Greatness
Gods1son Jan 2020
Greatness is not measured by
the longevity of a person's life
But the number of lives one could
impact positively within one's lifetime (and beyond)

To no one is tomorrow guaranteed
Today is the day to sow kindness seeds
What kind of legacy do you want to leave
Make each and every day count towards it

Life is too short to chase vanities
Too many stress over things that are unnecessary
We are all innately gifted and unique
But not too many live from within

Search within to know your true self
And when you find you, desire not to be
anyone else for every other person is taken
Strive to be you to the fullest.
60 · Apr 2019
Self-love
Gods1son Apr 2019
He chose self-love above all
(But surely, the love for God comes first)
Why would he choose himself first,
they questioned
Gently he answered...
If everyone decides to depart
He is all that he's got.
60 · Jan 2020
This week
Gods1son Jan 2020
Here's my prayer for you this week
Whether your faith be strong or weak
Miracles will take place in your life
Such that your joy will reach its peak
Your heart desires will come to pass
And testimonies will fill your mouth
The blessings that you will receive
Will make someone believe that
God is gracious and good.
59 · Jan 2020
Happy new year
Gods1son Jan 2020
He's done it for me already,
I'm placed in the center of His blessings.
Like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
Unperturbed in the time of heat.
Evergreen. Flourishing. Bearing fruits.
Divine health. Sufficient. Peace of mind.
Direction. Illumination. Fulfillment.
Overflowing testimonies. Greatness.
All for me to bask in. Oh, I'm so thankful.
Happy new year
58 · Oct 2018
Yes!
Gods1son Oct 2018
I knew she would be the one from the very start
Wasn't sure how to work it out
I was determined to play my part
Hoping that she doesn't cut me out

I allowed time to be the judge
If it is in our destiny
We can run but never dodge
I hope it would not take eternity

Guess what...
She is mine
And I'm hers
Together, we are ours!
57 · Jan 2020
Head-to-head
Gods1son Jan 2020
You can't outgrow your fears by
avoiding or running from them
You have to go head-to-head with it,
Just like David did against Goliath
The challenge might look bigger than you
But that doesn't make it insurmountable.
57 · Jan 2020
Love
Gods1son Jan 2020
Love doesn't hurt
Relationships do,
(depending on the binding force).
Love doesn't do wrong,
People do.
Love is pure & stays the same
But people often change.
Love is not a curse.
Love is true, it's people that lie.
There're stuff people hide
But love is see-through.
Love is usually wrongly accused,
But it's people that should be blamed.
