IT HAS TO BE YOU

I have always taught about you

I can’t help thinking how gorgeous you are

I wonder and contemplate if you can love someone like me

Am tormented because I am scared

I just don’t have the courage to approach you

and express my feelings

Please can you spear me your heart?

You have been that missing link in me

I find it difficult forgetting your smiling face

I have never thought i can be so involved with someone this much

You are the only treasure I have been searching for

And that’s where my heart has always been

Life will never be the same without you

Cause i can’t love no other but you

I HAVE FOUND A MAN

I have found a man whose kiss going to sweep me off my feet
He is not perfect, but understand my needs
He is always there for me when i need someone to lean on to,
When ever we had a fight, he is the first to apologize
He is everything and more one could think of in a man
He smiles with me and support my dreams
He is the reason why my sky has been blue

I have found a man
Who is not selfish, but understands when to lend a helping hand
He is an hero to our children and a role model 
When he is hanging out with friends,  he always call to check up on how am doing
He knows my weakness but doesn't take advantages of them
He holds me closer to his bosom and share his whole world with me

I have found a man
Who doesn't take me for a fool
He is always home earlier so we can have supper together
He makes me laugh all the time
He is ready to scarifies the best time of his life with me and his family
He knows family comes first, and involve me in any decision he makes
At night he wrapped me around his arms and keep me warm when am cold
He believes in love and the promises that comes with it
I know you will someday find a man
Someone that's going to change your whole world anew
Because for every woman there is a man 

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL

Good morning beautiful, the world's smiling at you
It’s as good a special day as seeing you smile
You are the first thing that comes my mind every morning
Each day I feel your presence like the morning dew
It fills the sky and color each new day
Today you make me feel so brand new
Listen! Can you hear the birds singing?
Have you noticed that the cloud is moody today?
The wind's so calm like its whispering to me
That i am lucky having someone so unique as you
You must have cast a spell to my whole world
I know I have never been to paradise
But nothing in this world attracts my mind the way you do
You have cast a rainbow in my heart
You have cast away the shadows in my heart
I no longer have nightmares, life has been so much better
You are like a star shining all over my world
You are like a flower, with little sunshine it always glow
There is no place in this world I can appreciate like the spot I meet you
There is just no way I can describe you

I just know am living a good life because I have you
I don’t mind losing everything I posses and have worked so hard for
I wouldn’t be troubled if I wake up one morning and found out that I no longer have a job
You are a rare treasure, That's worth much more to me
I will always have a picture of you on my wall
You are the reason why my dreams are coming true.

IF I WAS YOUR BEST FRIEND

If I was your best friend

I will be there for you to always make you smile

I will pluck you a bucket of stars

So your nights will always stay bright

I will paint a picture of an angel on my wall

Each day I will remind myself how lucky I am

If I was your best friend

You wake up one morning and you are feeling blue

I could be a million miles, but I will be there for you

If for some reason you feel so sad and want to cry

You’ve got my shoulder to lift your spirit high

If I was your best friend

I have got no reason not to share my whole heart with you

You’ve been the reason why I have never been sad

I will take you on a trip to an island

We will lie all night at the beach sipping brandy

I will sing you a song, tell you how I feel just been around you

If I was your best friend

I will sit beside you and watch the moon together

Everywhere you go, I will walk along side with you

I will be there for you when you need someone to tell your dreams

Smile with you, Support you, and give you a reason to believe in your dreams

I will be that one person you can trust

Someone that can love you and care for you as much as you deserve

THE BEAUTY OF AN AFRICAN WOMAN

An African woman is the pride of her man

When she goes out, she carries her culture along with her

She teaches her child the heritage of our fathers

She is strong; she can withstand the adversity of the world

She is a good friend, always there to lend a helping hand

An African woman plant her home with humility

She nurture the needs of her man 
Embrace him with warm comfort and love 

She does not mind going hungry for the world to feed

Good upbringing of her children is her most prized possession

An African woman makes an occasion colorful any day

Her native attire and headgear neatly dressed 
Matches the beauty of an angel

When she speaks, it is with a soft tone that carries wisdom

She does not find fault in her man; she is patient and understanding

An African woman always fight for her home

When she gives her heart, she does so wholeheartedly

When she falls in love, there is no string attached

Whenever she smiles, it lights up the sky and the world smiles with her

Wherever she nest, she spread her wings to protect her home

When an African woman prepares a meal, the gods cannot resist it savor 

She is content with her man than be a arrogant queen

An African woman will always be the prestige of her man

Without an African woman you cannot define an African man

I WAS LONELY YESTERDAY

Will you believe me if I had told you I was lonely yesterday?

I was lonely despite I was hanging out my with friends

There were thoughts I couldn’t tell anyone beside you

Time was running slow, the day seems like it will never end

I wanted to pick up the phone to call

But have told you I was doing fine

Then the rain came pouring down

I just stood outside staring at the cloud

It’s getting late and I have used up my only chance of seeing you tonight

It was like spending a lifetime without you

I have never been used to spending my evening without you

Its okay, you can laugh at me. I would have done the same

I just realized that I can’t spend a day without you

I just found out that I love you more than I think I do

Right now you are the most important thing to me

I wouldn’t have been lonely yesterday if i had you here with me

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?

I believe in fairy tales

I believe that dreams can come true

I believe there are no coincidence in life

I believe that love can find you any where

I believe that faith can change anything

I believe I was destined to meet you

And I believe in you

12 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU

I hate it when you don’t call

Would be nice to hear your voice before each day go by

I hate it when you don’t pick my calls

Every time you don’t, it make my heart beat skip

I hate it when you don’t write me back

Would be nice to get a message from you once in a while

I hate it when you don’t tell me often that you love me

How would I know how much I mean to you

I hate it when I get lonely

I need you to always be by my side

I hate it when you don’t believe in me

How do you expect me to be right man for you

I hate it when you don’t tell me your dreams

I feel like a stranger when am with you

I hate it when you don’t ask about my feelings

It makes me feel like I don’t care about you

I hate it when you don’t check up on me

It would be nice to see you once in a while

I hate it when you have to work late

It keeps me away from spending time with you

I hate it that you’re residing so far

How am I suppose to see you when I need you

I hate it knowing you’re special

I still can’t figure out how to get used to you

DEAR MAMA

From Childhood You Stood By Me
When Life Was Rough You Always Stayed Turf
With You I Never Had A Reason To Go Hungry
Some Times I Grudged And Do Things Just To Get You Angry
Back Then When I Refused, You Forced Me To Go To Church
But Now I See Reasons Why Every Man Needs A Couch
Even When You Were Ill, Still You Worried About Me
If Am In The Rain, You Will Stand Along Side With Me
You Wept When Ever You See Me Sad
You Renounced Your Pride To Take Care Of Me And Your Cousin's Lad
Eleven Days When I Was Ill, Weak And Sleepless At The Hospital
You Laid Beside My Bed Praying For My Revival Out Of Hospital

I Get Scared Any Time You Fall Ill
Because Without You I Have No Zeal
You took Life So Simple, You Have No Time For Enmity
Your Care And Love For All Was Never Empty
Unconditional Love You Showed To Your Enemies
A Dime In Your Hand Is Worth More Than Rubies
You Are The Reason Why I Believe In Angels
Because I Have Always Treasure You As An Angel
My Love For You Forever Will Never Due
I Will Trade Two Third Of My Heart To See You Happy
I Treasure You Much More Than a man would a Diamond
Cause Mothers Like You Are Rear And Never Found Common

GOOD NIGHT DOESN'T MEAN AM LETTING YOU GO

Saying good night doesn't mean am letting you go
It's a way of saying I care
It shows that you mean so much to me
And that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me
I want you to know before I close my eyes
That every night I always save a prayer for you
I asked God to personally watch over you
And prepare a beautiful tomorrow for you
Good night and sweet dreams my love
Thank you for showing me the meaning of love

A PERFECT LOVE

I have traveled all around our nation Nigeria

The amazing streams of Osun State
The overwhelming view of the city of Ibadan
The richness of obudu ranch at Cross River State
Felt the breathtaking winds at the seaside in Lagos

I have seen, and the wonderful people I have met
None is as precious as thoughts of you
I am for ever grateful I have you as my mom
And will forever love you

LOVE AT TIMES CAN BE FUTILE

Love At Times Can Be Futile

Putting All One Trust In A Girl

Its Painful Any Time I Think About My Ordeal

I Love This Damsel Damned So Much

Everyway I Helped Lift Her Touch

I Held The Candle For Her Till It Burnt Out Without Hush

Gave Her Every Thing One Could Think Off

Didn't Know She Would One Day Take Off

I Gave Her The Pride A Princess Deserved

Treat Her Like An Angel, Taught She Was Reserved

Its Painful Sometime I Wonder If Loving Someone Is Wrong

Or Is It An Experience To Make A Man Strong

Or A Path That Sails Man Along

With A Heart Of Good Song

While Trying To Purge The Differences

And Still Fall in Love Despite These Nemesis

A SPECIAL FRIEND

God was showing off when he made you

He was so conscious, wanted you to be unique

Your presence touches so many lives

As you share so much love with everyone around you

That's why sometimes I picture you as an angel

When we first met, I knew something was peculiar about you

You have always stopped at nothing

Just to put a smile on a stranger’s face

And have been so perfect in everything you do

I often ask myself if it’s possible for someone to be so special

You are like the stars always shining on someone's dark life

Wish I can have the antidote

So I can be as special as you

WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND

I have not been able to figure out why you fell in love with me

I know its aren't luck

Luck got nothing to do with it

It’s not because am pretty

I don’t stand a chance when ever am with you

Its can’t be because am rich

We both know I can’t buy you all the things you deserved

It’s not because am brilliant

I don’t have a clue and still can’t get used to you

It’s surely not because we are friends

We are complete stranger; we meet out of the blue

It’s not because am sincere

You’ve caught me on occasions when I try to lie to you

It’s not because am smart

I have not been smart enough to win your heart without your consent

It’s not because am perfect

You would have given myself away if i had cheated on you

It’s can’t be because am your ideal man

I don’t have the quality for me to be Your Man

I guess God must have sent you

Because he wanted you to watch over me

THANK GOD FOR LIFE

Thank you lord

For the womb that carried me

For the breasts that fed me

For the hands that cared for me

Thank you lord

For my infant days

Despite all the ailments and diseases

I came to no harms

Despite all the falls, injuries and infections

I never lost my life

Thanks you lord

For my boyhood

For in all my endeavors, you were with me

For the hands that scolded me

For if the rod had been spared

What would I have become of me?

Thank you lord

For how you’ve gradually made a man out of me

For the good and bad times in my life

For the many things which your love taught me

And his still teaching me

LIKE RAIN

Atmosphere Changes With Me
My Clouded Heart Calm
Wind Blows On Every Side
Droplets Then Raining Love
Like Water Flows To All Extremes
All Thoughts Cover With Your Love
As It Filled My Lonely Heart
Your Love Gave My Heart All The Nutrients It Need
As It Rains All Over Me
Like Rain It Kept A Trace
You Have Moistened The Soil In My Heart
And Hope The Seed Of Love In Me
I Know Your Love Will Keep Raining In Me
And Flourish The Seed Into A Plant

THE NIGHT

I glimpse at the night from my window 

The whole place pale wind moving slow
As the night blows away
Like our pains, sorrows they would not come to stay
Every mind looks calm, but sleeping with problems within
The mind is feeble, relaxed and celestial
Man journeys where he does not know it destined
Conscious that the next day fast approaches
The weak holding on to their crouches
Valiant ready to mount their shields again
For battles left the previous day in constrain
Like chaff, memories pervades afar
Struggling in a country with nothing to offer
Praying someday for a good life to reside
Merry and relaxed all stress aside
Restless until each cups is filled
And all wickedness killed
How I wish the night will come to stay
And our sorrows blown away

YOU TOOK MY HEART AWAY

My Night Has Been Sleepless
My Day Hell
If I Don't See You Soon
Like Plant My Heart Will Fade Away
Everyday I Think About Your Pretty Smile
Your Warm Companionship
Damned I Never Knew I Can Be This Lonely
I Have No Hope Without You
I Can't Make It All Alone With You
In My Heart I Have Been Waiting For You
Please Don't Let It Be Too Long
Before You Realize You Mean This Much To Me
And Come Rescue A Dying Heart

LIFE IS NOT ALL ABOUT

It’s Not Thriving To Be Accepted Within Our Society
It’s Not About The Hates Or Our Selfish Desires
It’s Not About Going To The Office
And Coming Back Home Late

It’s Not About Quarreling And Making Up
Its Not About The Good Times We've Had
Or Recovering From The Lost Of A Dear One
It’s Not About Telling Someone How Much You Care
It’s Not About How Or Where We Worship
It’s Not all About Government and Politics
Not About Our Parents

It’s Not About Our Wealth
It’s Not About Growing Old
Or Is It About Been Buried Six Feet Beneath
Or Getting Divorce Because You Loose Faith In Your Spouse
It’s Not About Praying When You Are In Need
But It’s About Measuring Your Life With God's
It's About Scaling Your Percentages
Grading It If It Meets God Recommendation In Heaven
