I never cease to wonder
How big and wide Your ears are -
to listen to all of our prayers
How large Your heart is -
to love and forgive our trespasses
How spread out Your hands are -
to protect your beloved
How big Your feet are -
to make the earth Your footstool
Whenever my mind runs far and
wide to picture how magnificent You are,
I remember I was made in Your likeness
and image and it makes me love me more.

A good makeup can make one look gorgeous and attractive

But no makeup can cover attitudinal blemishes

True beauty is revealed from inside out!

Mama's words never cease to echo in my mind
Son...
Always remember the son of whom you are
Remember the home you're from

Steer away from greed, it drowns
Jealousy and comparison will pull you down
What you think of yourself is your truth
Never take that which doesn't belong to you

Do good expecting nothing in return
Don't pay evil back with its kind
Love yourself and remember to be kind
Money is good but it won't buy good character

In all that you do, protect you name and image
Love your neighbor as yourself
Do away with pride
Remember the son of whom you are!

Wearing of masks is not new after all
What is somewhat new is the wearing
of masks made from fabrics
People have always worn masks made of
smiles or vocal masks like "I'm fine", "I'm okay"

I look forward to the days when all
forms of masks will be dropped
When we can bare our souls even
when we don't feel whole and
we wouldn't be judged but met with
kindness and empathy.

What an amazing Masterpiece you are
But, a Masterpiece cannot be valued by all
If allowed, some would even rip it into pieces
See, it's easier to admire (like) something
than to cherish (care for) that same thing

Plus, some people are not ready to make sacrifices
So, protect your heart, knowing how valuable it is
Don't place it into any hand that doesn't know its worth
Remember, you are God's cherished Masterpiece.

Life is like a maze
Lots of turns,
Blockages
But there is always a way

Sometimes, one has to go back
And follow another track
Ensure to pick all the gems on the way
Including those along the blocked path

Mediocrity is a comfortable prison
With gates not of metal but complacency
Where the prisoner is also the guard
And the keys to escape are in his/her pocket
But (S)he will rather stay

Lots of beautiful moments
captured in photos and video clips
with the sophisticated cameras
on our mobile devices
But none could be as vivid as memories
etched into our mental faculty

You can upload files on the cloud
And download them with a few clicks
But the information committed to mind
is less than a click away

1 second of brain operations
is equivalent to 40 minutes of work
by a supercomputer

How powerful the brain and the mind are
That's sophistication at its max.

From the throne
To the womb
He was the Word
Clothed in flesh
A blessing to this world

Unto us, a King was born
That we all might be born anew
He was sent by the Father
To re-unite us to Him
That we also might be sons and daughters of Him

He came as a light
To shine in our heart
To set us apart
And give us the incorruptible life

His Spirit intertwined with ours
That's power residing on our inside
Mystery unveiled to our eyes and mind
To know Him as He is

He came to bear all our guilts and sins
To hang them all on the cross
And in return, give us the victory, purity
And usher us to life eternity

Yes, We are the reason for the season
All hail our King, Jesus
Who has opened unto us the door
To the Father's kingdom.

Merry Christmas!!!

Woke up in the middle of the night
Reached out for my phone to check the time
Two notifications from Instagram
Quick check and now it's 30mins on the Gram

Decided to put the phone down
Then came a message from a buddy from another town

We texted till the dawn of the day
Oops, I think I forgot to say
It was 3am when I checked the time
****! I couldn't think straight for the rest of the day!

My mental state, I had to recalibrate
Now, It is boldly tattooed...
I was born to be great

The thoughts of being under,
I had to push under
I figured how to deal with my fears
I use it by burning it as a fuel

Sometimes, I have these worries
That are somewhat hard to burry
But I remind myself of the future's glory
And how all of these will someday be a story

I'm in no competition with nobody
I'm running my own race
Going at my own pace
And in my own lane

Challenges will sure come
And in different forms
From mild to severe storms
They aren't for me to suffer
But to ride on like a surfer

I will have to reach high for my goals
Go above it like a pole vault
In me, resides the courage to achieve my desires
And the enthusiasm to fulfil my dreams

Above all, Love is the master key
It opens the door to eternal peace
The major ingredient for a life of ease
A secret to a life full of bliss!

The milk has spilled already
The next question is,
What are you gonna do about it?
Just sit there and cry?
Pick yourself up and continue to fly?
Hide in the corner 'cause you're shy?
Would you define yourself by your mistakes
Or rather learn one or two things
and make yourself a better person
by using the mistakes as resources?

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

There is a beast in social media
that keeps asking for more
More, more, more, it yells
Drawing blood out of me
Writing my brain out
To the last pint of blood in my vein
But still, the beast won't back off
This creative juice of mine needs to replenish
So, no blood for you today!

I consider myself more than lucky
For having you
You are a full package of blessing.
What nutrients, sunlight and water is to a plant, that's what/who you are to me.

Gone are the days
When Mother Nature was a close neighbor
And a loved one
But we've forced her out to build roads, rails, buildings and whatnot

It makes me wonder...
Like, did we dominate to contaminate?
She meant no evil, can't we reciprocate?
Further and further, we've push her away

I remember
I used to look at her from my windows
And appreciate her beauty
Now, I have to take time off
To find her and hope that she's intact

We pollute her waters,
fully aware of the negative impacts
When we can easily choose to do right
But we'll fix it later, right?

We pollute the air
And fell the trees that make us breathe
In exchange for the medium of exchange; we call it money
I think it's quite a fair exchange right?

Polluting Mother Nature is like
Poisoning your own food before eating it
Who is going to face the heat?
Of course, you and your loved ones

What's an environment without
Trees spreading their arms
Butterflies spreading their wings
Birds singing their songs
Cool breeze saying hello
We need to protect our dear friend;
Mother nature

Sitting right here
With the doors locked against negative feelings
I have a lot on my mind that I could share
Some thoughts poking my eyes
And wanting to bring me to tears

But, I just want to sit and stare
Stare at the colorful butterflies
As they land on the beautiful flowers
Stare at the birds gliding through the air

Watch the clouds move across the sky
Look at the trees waving their hands
I'm admiring the beauty of Mother Nature
And how well her kids, she nurtured

I can feel the smile birthed on my face
Worries gone without leaving a trace
I am just so amazed
At the therapeutic nature of Mother Nature!

Let's flip our dreams into our reality
Of course, it would require tenacity
But we cannot belittle our abilities
Mediocrity is a self-created enemy

With blood, sweat, and tears
We've enough ink to paint our destinies
If only we would look beyond our fears
And reach for our shining galaxies

Then, our dreams will be our everyday living
A single step of faith ignites more steps
In the direction of what we've envisioned
This is the time, no more procrastinating

It's high time we got the ball rolling
Mistakes are part of the growth process
The future begins from now
Dreams are for living; a verb, not a noun!

I always try to make the right friends
Not those who wanna see my end
But those who bring out my best
Those that believe in my quest
Those that stick with me through my tests
Those that inspire me to invest
Those that share my interests
Those that keep my heart at rest
Those that live life with zest
That's what I watch out for in a friend

Hey Girl,
I bet you're a Musician
The sound of your voice strums my ribs
Like the guitar strings
Makes my heart beat
Like the drumsticks

When my phone rings
I can't explain the joy it brings
When you promised to show
I couldn't stop looking through the window

A glimpse of you from afar
Makes my heart skip a beat
That is to say the least
Of how it really feels!

I can see my hero rise
Reaching for the stars
Not with my two eyes
But I can see with my heart

I have a villain in my head
Who is debating my heart
Says I can't achieve the height
You have no wings to fly

I'm left to cast a vote
Sure, I can't choose both
Mr villain, I'm not sorry to revolt
Cos my heart is who I choose

I've got to set my goals
Ready to pay the price
I will watch me grow
Till I reach the height!

When you write my story
Ensure to title it Grace
Looking back at every lap of my race,
I will surely be an ingrate
if I don't give God the praise

How could a castaway stone
become the cornerstone
What many deemed impossible,
In my own case, more often than not,
they became feasible

But above the big accomplishments of life
I cherish the simple everyday blessings

Like the air that I breathe
The warmth of the sun as felt on my skin
The comfort of my bed when I lay on it

I'm grateful for every single hand that
I've lifted up
A blessing is now,
being in the midst of beautiful people

What is fame and wealth in the
absence of a sound health
What are accolades and awards without genuine friends and family to rejoice with

Milestones are friends turned family
Milestones are daily recorded
when life is lived with simplicity.
