I'm thankful for my birth
'cause there are people born into violence
Making it hard to navigate another route
They didn't choose it like I didn't choose mine
They were born into it and grew up in it
Grateful for my unchosen inception.

Greatness is born
At the birth of a new child
Domiciling on his/her inside
Waiting to be revealed to the world outside

As a light bursting out of darkness
Solution to the cries of many

Like Rome, greatness wouldn't appear in a day
Brick by brick, it must be laid
Hardwork, discipline, commitment, faith
Originality, perseverance, sacrifices
The recipes to be great

When I am around people
My heart and soul radiate with
the awareness that
I'm in the presence of greatness.

Maybe greatness unfound or
greatness underdeveloped
But the potential or existence
of greatness nevertheless

You never know who will go on to do good
Or even great things
Or become the next great influencer
So treat everyone like they are that person.

Greediness is evil
The uncontrolled love of money is its roots
Regrets and shame are the fruits

At first, it appears to soothe
Sitting on that which belongs to many
But the end of it is pain.

The grass always seem greener on the other side
Almost losing sight of this side
Forgetting that it wasn't as green as this previously
And this is also greener if observed from another side

I'm confident that one day
The brown leaves will disappear
And the grassless area will sprout again
Above all
The key is to be grateful even before this day

Hail those friends who...

Hears your unspoken words
Heals your bleeding heart
Believes in your art
Tells you the truth when you're acting up
Encourages you when you're giving up
Gives you advice that you can trust
Gives your ideas a positive ******
Get angry at you and opens up
Prays for you to be at the top
Supports you with all they've got
Stick with you on every terrain
any weather; sun or rain

Watch out for them and be one yourself!

Trials and tribulations
Tests and persecutions
Trying times
Tormenting periods

They are all for a season
For faith workout reasons
My friend, do not cower
Let your faith rise like a tower

I won't give up
I won't give in
I won't cave in

This is my faith
And this too shall pass
Soon, I will look back and say
Yay, Season has changed!

She was a kind woman
He was the exact opposite
An angel in a human flesh, she was
But he was a wolf in a sheep's skin
She would go out of her way to help people
But he always took advantage of people
She never tried to change him
She just loved him unconditionally
Her nature was a mirror to his cruelty
He couldn't help but cherish her modesty
One night, he was bathed in tears
After realizing what **** of a person he was
That moment was the genesis of his redemption
He became a changed man
And the love between them blossomed even more
In less than a year after,
He was bold enough to put the ring on it
And they lived happily ever after!

Man's number one quest
Is to find happiness and peace of mind
Most times,
He goes finding it at the wrong place
or in the wrong things

He devotes all his time to getting money
He's super rich and comfortable
But happiness is still missing
He buys the expensive things
But he still feels a void in his soul

Happiness from things quenches like
fire on a match stick
But happiness from within is hard to extinguish

He's seen as the happiest by others
But deep inside him, his life lacks order
At this point,
He's ready to trade all he has for happiness
Little did he know that
Happiness has been within him
even before the he got money

Man's number one quest
Is to find happiness and peace of mind
But most times,
He goes finding it at the wrong place
or in the wrong things

He devotes all his time to getting money
Even at the expense of his family
Finally, he gets the wealth and riches
But his happiness is nowhere to be found
Then he starts buying expensive things to fill the void

Little does he know that
Happiness from material things
quenches like fire on a match stick
But happiness from within is hard to extinguish

He's seen as the happiest by others
But deep within him, he's seeking for order
He's ready to trade all he's got for happiness and peace of mind

Only if he knew that
his happiness has been within him all the time
Even way before the fame and the riches
Now, he's living life in misery
Repercussion of a shallow mind

I hope you and I won't fall in that trap
We'll get the money without jeopardizing
our happiness and peace of mind
We'll enjoy the journey basking in the beauty of the moment.

Being happy doesn't imply being problem-free
To be joyful doesn't mean you have no needs
A person could be on the Forbes list (seen as successful) and still want to cease to exist

A boat begins to sink when the water around it begins to flow inside it
Read the above line again and let it sink.

She was playing hard to get
But really, we were creating memories
Too sweet to forget

In my heart, I placed a bet
That we would be together like a set
Knit in and out like threads in a net

And yes! I won the bet
Two hearts are mine
As much as they are hers.

He fights all his battles
with the consciousness of a winner
To the past tough challenges,
He's proven himself tougher

He's aware of his inner strength
And he will persevere till any length
I wouldn't say he doesn't have any fear
But he won't allow the fear hold him back

Needless to say, he's not arrogant
He's not proud not to ask for helping hands
He's persistent and he has high tolerance
He knows his victory is sure in the end.

Forgiveness
liberates
the forgiver.
Healing
never finishes
without
the offended
forviging
the offender.

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

One person healing the world is far-fetched
But one person can heal another's world
Less healing will be required
If we don't cause pain to one another in the first place
Prevention is sure better than cure!

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

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.

Women are very strong and powerful
No one can convince or confuse me
to think otherwise

I think Nature is not very nice to her
When she chooses to not fertilize her eggs,
she goes through pain every month
When she fertilizes her eggs, she has
to deal with changes in her body for
nine months. And then, childbirth pain.

Even the society is not very nice to her
If she's qualified for the job,
give her an equal chance
And pay her what she truly deserves
Also recognize her for her hardwork
But we know that's not how it goes

Against all odds, she still stands strong
Lots of accomplishments in this world wouldn't have been possible without her
Without her, the entire society will fall to the ground

Let's give her the respect and
credit she deserves.

Son, shine bright everyday
Don't let them control your
brightness like that of a phone screen

It's not everyone that comes your way
that is meant to be in your life
So Son, you've got to mount your screen (sieve)

Make an impact in your world
Not because of being on the TV screen
But to fulfil your forewritten destiny

hopelessness    ||      Hopefulness
darkness           ||          Brightness
forsaken ============== Chosen
brokenness.....  ||         Wholeness
slavery (to sin) ||               Mastery
powerlessness  ||     Powerfulness
