The God of all the earth acknowledges your presence so much that He even knows the number of the strands of your hair,
When you call on Him in your heart He hears you because He's always there,
Living without Him is sure hopeless you shouldn't dare,
You know they say life isn't fair,
And yes I somewhat agree but hey the unfairness of life is a case not so rare..
*
All we can do is claim Gods great favour and blessings upon our lives and believe they're ours.

I AM A BELIEVER!!
I sometimes lose touch of who I am,
I slide from your presence..
I'm left blank and numb,
Some thoughts identify me as dumb;
Dumb for believing,
Believing in a Creator,
So I turn back to some pages of my life,
When all my heart could feel was strife,
I recall the comfort I received from one I couldn't see,
Comfort no one around me would ever offer..
You healed my heart and dressed my wounds,
Received my brokenness and gave me love.
I thank you.

Purpose
They say need is the mother of invention,
This automatically means that you were "invented" for a reason,
To fulfill something,something that no one else will do,
You may be unique but not see anything in yourself which no one else has,
So how then are you really a holder of a unique purpose?
Well,life is a journey..
And what you're meant for will always be something that comes up as a passion,a strong desire.

Completion
No one completes you.
Don't ever esteem someone that highly.
People change,
Be complete on your own,so that even when your heart breaks, your whole being is not torn apart.

Truth be told.
I really love you,
But honestly,I wouldn't die for you..
And I hope you appreciate the fact that I'm being true to you..
So many things I would do to please you,
But suicide or self sacrifice,isn't just one of them..,
Because if I were to die for you,
You would live your entire life with that blame..
#truth be told

Welcome to my world
I believe in love,
My mind wanders freely..
I've come to terms with who I am,
My concept of life;some may condemn,
But that's not something to bother me,
I believe in heaven,
In life after death..
My life may not be perfect here,
But I'm hopeful,I live to satisfy my inner most being.
I love and trust truly.
I'm not much of an open book,its upto one to flip my pages and read through me.

What do we have left?
Morals abandoned,
Faith broken,
Love forsaken.

Therefore joy gets stolen.

What we have left is ; fakeness,struggles,pain,hurt,blindness, bitterness,
But we also still have love,*
That little spark can rekindle the joy.

Sex...(a repost)
One of the most abused gifts of life,
Even toothpaste commercials use it to advertise,
Brings pleasure whilst leaving others in deep strife,
Its one thing that creates soul ties,
It deserves more than just physical feelings to be undergone,
Though,it seems in this area we have chosen to be ignorant and to harden our hearts like stone,
As long as we satisfy our momental desires..
And when the deed is done,our conscience fights itself then retires..

It retires from caring who the deed is done with later on..
Reminder...

Great GOD
We know that energy can't be created or destroyed,
Apply that science to the existence of a mighty force,
No beginning,no ending,
Just there,
That's why we worship Him,He's too great to be fathomed,
He created the heavens and the earth by His word,
How great is our God.

Is it enough?
To be conceived,
Be born,
Breathe,
And then die?

Do not waste your life,follow your heart for it contains your joy and satisfaction..
If we die to rest in peace why don't we live to be busy enjoying every bit of life and peace of mind?
Isn't peace more useful now than in death? Well I'm not sure but peace is a need right now. Having peace is shutting out negativity, being the real you no matter what and embracing only positive vibes.
Love yourself,live your life.

Well this is it for you,
Everyday has been another,
Not to complain of.

The beauty of music

And anybody.
Its always beneficial and awesome to do something,
And actually know why you're doing it,
It makes more sense,
And gives more drive.

A father
Every little girls first love,
Every little boys best hero,
Fatherhood takes effort,strength and lots of courage,
Others have proved to be too weak for the title,
But for those who have taken up that position and embraced it,
I say congratulations!
You the man!
Stay blessed.

Beautiful love..
You are the thunder,
I am the lightning.
Though we appear differently,
We are one..
Without me you can't be,
And without you I can't be..
I bring the light..
You bring the sound,.
As fast as I move,
You always catch up with me..
You arrive at the right time,
Never disappointing me..
As different as thunder may be from lighting,
So are we,but we are one..

THE MAN
Crown of grace on his head,
Life on his lips,
The world on his shoulders,
Love in his arms,
Hard work in his hands,
Strength in his legs,
Endurance on his feet.

Mind filled with burdens,
But a heart so kind.
Peace is his breath,
Love,his language.

Empty stomach,
Yet feeding others.
Bleeding,hurting internally.
Yet clothing others' wounds.
THE MAN.

Nooone can hurt you without your permission,
And how exactly can you permit someone to hurt you?
By thinking they have perfection to offer when in the actual sense only cartoons have that(perfection)!

Life nugget
Know your worth.
Respect people, but have boundaries. You can never please the whole world.
Even if you tried, you'll only end up hurting yourself.
Realize your power,
Refuse to be used.
The love in which I believe is the strongest,greatest,deepest force on earth.
It is something that can never be destroyed nor created;it is energy.
It is not romance,it is not a relationship,it is not blood relation.
It is always conserved. It can only change form and direction.
If you hate deeply,you once loved deeply.
Therefore love is the enantiomer of hate.
It is existent in all,
It may lie dormant or active.  Or in another form,
In all creation it exists naturally.
We simply share what lies within us.
This force creates unbreakable bonds.
It never dies,if it does. It was not there in the first place..
Love never dies in the sense that it only changes direction or form.

A beautiful soul,
Your love for us i do not understand because it is too great.
Motherhood isn't just a duty, its a gift that only passion can nurture.
Mum you have done just that and more.
So many times we err you still correct us TIRELESSLY and love us even more.
I love you very much,
You shout at us yes but thats how some of us can learn and im grateful for that.
I would never want to picture life without you mummy,you're so special.
You make that house a home.
You do all your duties right,no lie.
I'd never wish for another mother mummy.
Dad is blessed to have you.
You're the best mother in the world,irreplaceable,beautiful,wonderful.
Your big warm heart inspires me,
It gives me hope in this dark world, it makes me realise humanity still exists.
Your love for God strengthens my faith too.
You're awesome mum.
You're a big blessing,
Its a privilege to have you.
I love you.

People

Don't judge them,

Laugh and joke with them,

Respect them and build their worth

LIFE IS A MARVEL..
Life is a wonder,
We have life but its still hard to fathom.
Any second can bring a new experience,
And all things can happen,
Anything is possible;that we know.
But still find it tough to believe in a miracle,
We get what we want and next thing,
We want something else..
There is never satisfaction so i wonder if there is one meant to be; destiny.
We reach but never arrive,
Till the day we die,we keep on striving .
When are we ever going to rest and just enjoy life and not worry about a thing?,
We found life this way and i guess we'll leave it this way,
Taking each day as it comes and finding fulfillment in accomplishing goals day by day..

Family
Sometimes we wish we could choose,
Maybe because we don't seem to get along with the members or we simply hate the rules,
Well I'm sure this is no news,
But the thing is that the only way to love and enjoy family is through acceptance,
Accept them for who they are,show them your love now,not in rememberance,
Embrace them and always know that love works with perseverance.

Futility
We work so hard and forget what
       matters the most,only to
              achieve what we
                  won't leave
                   this world
                       with.
                        Sad indeed.
I bet the world would be very different.
All acts would be taken thoughtfully and cautiously,
Peace would prevail,
Education would be deep,not for employments sake but for gaining of knowledge,knowledge to live by and not just make a living from.
Not everyone chooses to think deeply,others are scared they might know the truth,others just don't think they can think beyond opinions.
In every mind lies answers to questions life has to offer,
They always await being drawn out,
If wisdom wasn't an option I'd say its fine to be a fool,but since wisdom is a choice..being a fool is total folly.
Why buy your own downfall when you can choose glory?
Life is tougher for thinkers because everything means something to them,
Its easier for shallow minds because even something may seem like nothing to them,
In as much as life's easier for shallow thinkers,its not safe at all.there's so much to risk.
As for thinkers,solutions are at the tips of their fingers,and they're not scared to find out truths.
And because of this,they reveal truths everyone else might have known but had no way of putting  across or breaking it down..indeed there's nothing new under the sun.
We are all potential philosophers

Seduction
When the mind seduces,the effect is eternal,
When the body seduces,the effect is temporal.
A great mind seduces another into love,
A great body seduces any other into lust..
Seduction of the body is temporal and that of the mind eternal,

Your touch brings healing,
Your voice whispers hope,
Your love makes a cold,hard heart willing,
No matter how many times we flop,
You always raise us up,
Because we are your children and we have noone else to release us from any trap.
A note to GOD.

#To be titled..
Planet earth is not personally owned by any human being,
But why do we feel so inferior or more superior when we breath the same oxygen?
When all of us have the same most certain end which is death..
Is it because we have chosen these things we love to hate,
Or are we supposed to blame the society in which we found ourselves?
Well bottom line is:
The one who owns the universe views us all as equals,
And He puts before us opportunities to thrive usually in disguise..
The world isn't that unfair afterall..

Live above the doubts!!
Doubts do happen,
But we can live above them.
Never forget why you started what you started.
There is no greatness that is easy to attain.
The struggles strengthen and humble us.
They make us stronger and impart in us incredible power and wisdom.
Let us appreciate our pain during the pursuit,
Let us use that pain to thrive and rise above expectations.
Greatness is not easy to achieve but it is possible; that is hope enough.

Love - a gift for all
Love is a gift for everyone.
No one isn't meant for love,
Everyone deserves love.
Everyone can love and be loved.
Love is a universal language that all ears can listen to and all minds understand.
Love is the centre of a peaceful universe.
Love is a beauty all eyes can't afford to miss.
Love is part of us,
So let us not let it part from us.

Beauty
It is the soul that contains beauty.
True beauty can only emerge from within,
Beauty is everlasting,
That's why it can't be physical because nothing physical is everlasting.
The immortal part of being is what's beautiful.
Its moulded by its owner and given a final touch by its creator.
Beauty is in you.

Writers block
Numbness of creation,
Loss of literature.
Words feel empty,
Yearning to gather them up and use them... But they escape,
More like an attempt to paint with dry paint and a dry brush,
But words always fly back to their owners,
Filled and inspired; they fly back to the one to write them.
Its always just a phase.
Stay positive :)

Enslaved
Of course we no longer have colonial masters,
But clearly we're still enslaved
Enslaved by our own bodies,
Our souls cry out,
They yearn to do what's right;
That which will keep them at peace,
Until we decide to **** our own conscience,
The body has enslaved the real us;the soul,
And we are the reasons for that because we allow it.
And the only way out is self control..

Raw Beauty
The wind is blowing,
It calms my mind,
Keeps my thoughts flowing,
Makes me feel like even when I'm blind,
It could lead me,
I open my arms to receive its big hug,
Feeling tightly embraced yet so free,
And I'm assured that no matter how long my hug may be I'm not being a bug,
Its so beautiful to hug nature,
Allows you be a part of the awesome beauty
About this;one can only give a short lecture,
Because loving nature is an inborn duty.
Inspired by the wind. :p

The hearts soft spot is like metal,the more you hit it the harder it becomes.

If your thoughts about yourself count on peoples opinions,
Life will be very hard for you;
Progress nearly impossible
And success very unattainable,
You have to define yourself,
Let your good opinions about yourself stand strong and unshaken as though they are facts,
Esteem yourself highly but not at the expense of other peoples dignity,
Have integrity,
Don't take others for granted,
Don't use people,love them.

That's what you are!!
You are unique!
     Incomparable to anyone..
You are the perfect master piece for your purpose,
  The heavenly Masters beautiful design,
He never makes mistakes;so you are perfect!
The only imperfections you have lie within you and definitely not outside,.
Consider yourself as a priceless,incredible,beautiful and high achieving human being,
And always remember that a beautiful mind beautifies you..
#powerful poetry isn't always about rhymes. :-)
No matter what you go through,
Believe in the power of time,
Believe that where there is life there is hope.
Just holding on a day more,
An hour more,a minute more can make the difference.
Your breakthrough could be the next minute or second.
Hold on and stay strong.
Your life was never meant to be ended by yourself.
Hold on a little bit longer. You are never alone no matter how lonely it gets.
People going through what you are going through are with you,
Stay strong and be their source of hope and light one day.

Life is quite short
Laugh like you've never known sadness,
Smile genuinely like you don't know how to frown,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Sing like noones listening,
Dance like you're the only one with eyes to see your moves,
Pray like the first time you did when you knew of your Saviour,
Believe and have faith,like a young child.
Life  is  short .
