LIKE A FLOWER

Dedicated to you.... my lovely sister Emmanuel Ekaete

Like a flower planted in the garden of heaven

Your joy and blessings overflow

It fills the cloud with your glory

The earth yearning to be conceive in your joy

Like the wind blowing by the sea side

God gave you a heart so soft and pure

Creating you demanded God so much more

He gave you a kiss and hugged you with love

You are made so beautiful

Heaven cried tears of joy and happiness some many years on this day

God wanted you to stay but knew He had to give you away

He blessed you with a heart so bright it lighted the sky

Just has man can't measure the length of the sky

The world can't measure the impact you bestow in our lives

You are rare, unique and one-of-a-kind

Born with a heart of gold, made to change the hands of time

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HEART OF A CHILD

A child bears no grudge and hate

Every morning she wakes up and says a prayer for you

She loves the world beyond her imperfection

Never worries because she knows God has taking care of her needs

The heart of a child is meek and gentle

To her parent she is the source of pride

She believes in dreams and fairy-tales

That someday they will grow and fly

A child cries when she need your attention

A friend when you need someone that cares

She brings joy and laughter to the heart

When she says am sorry, she meant it down from her heart

When she smiles the whole world smiles with her

Her compassion heals the burden of a broken heart

She is a source of blessing to everyone

A child brings out the best in each and everyone

A LETTER TO MY UNBORN CHILD

Dear Child,



The world is beautiful and breathtaking


Filled with an enormous view of God's creation

It offers you everything needed to be happy
You have an amazing mother 
In her bosom, you will find uncompromised love


Growing up is demanding

We all have to create our own path

It is good to have dreams, it will help you grow

If someday you get lost in the dark, yet have but a pen

Cherish it with your life, the world will find you



When bullies picked at you, fight back
This may not be a promising adventure
But it will wade them off eventually

Give you a sense of self-confidence

Also, guide your choices in relationship


Maybe help you get over a heartbreak


Truth is life is confusing sometimes


Yet everything happens for a reason

Always ensure you get counsel from your mother

She will lead you when in need of direction



As a child, I was deprived of amenity

I grew up the hard way

Looking back; it gave me something I would never lack
Hope, courage, resilience, and the heart to love
In life, the choices we make are endless
Follow your heart; listen to your conscience



Always be humble, treat your elders with respect

In the future, you will be wiser and a better man

A good character can help you become great
The door to success though may not be abreast

When you look consciously, it is left ajar



When it needs, look up to the Lord with a keen heart

It is alright to be prone to mistakes

But must also take responsibility for your actions
I never promised life is going to be perfect


That is why we are conscious of the things we do


You might not understand these words


Not by meditating on it day and night

But put them close to your heart

Let them be your companion every time

Especially when you have troubled night



We will always cherish the day God made you


And will never be ceased from loving you
These words are from within a fathers heart

I hope they find you in good time

I love you from the depth of my heart


Dad

WHO IS THIS GIRL

Who's this girl I see with such gorgeous eyes

Lips softly carved with sensation of love

Her smile so perfect like the sun

The way she walks into my heart

Her shape is like a goddess 

The evening caught up in her spell

I've got to take her in my arms tonight

Spend the rest of my life dreaming

Of such a woman divinely created

To make my night right

A city of love and kindness

A city of peace and progress

A city with a reason to smile

A city where the heart is home

A city bond for every one of us

WAKE UP

Wake up in the morning and see the light
Its shining up a distance reaching the sky
The world is at its peak, the day so beautiful
Can't afford to miss the joy and excitement in front of you
Today, dreams wouldn't walk away
I can see the sun smiling at bay
There is the feeling of a brighter day
And a life heavenly filled with God's grace

I AM NOT A QUITTER

Feet thread a thousand miles

Bear the burden of the universe

Stumbled, yet raise and walk

Weary, but still can't give up

Chasing down cloudy dreams

I am not a quitter

If the world is destroyed

Life paddle but a star

I wouldn't give up a smile

Will hold on a firm to my gut

Don't matter if the cloud falls apart

I am not a quitter

If for a reason the heart is broken

I will pick up the pieces from the start

I wouldn't let my feelings go blind

I wouldn't let my pride worn out

Will live happier than ever had

I am not a quitter

No need to cry, the world owns me no dime

If life ain't satisfy, I'll find a piece of music to dance

No use gave up hope in a world not perfect

Pick up the things that make me happy

With spirit high and shout out loud

I am not a quitter

LEAD THE WAY

Father lead the way, I will follow

I've lost track of my path on the journey of life

My dreams tossed and turned with the wind

Thirsty, yet couldn't find water to drink

I am weary, threading in my own world

When I look up the sun, I couldn't find neither hope

So I am leaning all my efforts on you Lord

Don't come to tarry but stay in my life Lord

I need thy grace with me everywhere I go

I heard salvation is free, so am laying down my soul

I am tired of walking in darkness all my life

Take away my burden lord, also take away my strife

DON'T YOU EVER LEAVE ME

Right now I want you closer

Tell me all I need to do

Please don't take away the moon

I will change all my ways for you

I have done somethings that hurt you

Never did intend to hurt your feelings

Please pick up your bag and shoes

Lets take a walk, just me and you

Life is miserable whenever you are sad

Don't want your heart broken

Can you draw the curtain behind the past?

Stand by me and watch the morning smile

Take me as I am for a start

Look beyond my imperfection

Don't let the good time walk away

I need you back in my life to stay

My love for you is a weakness I can't define

I can't let go, even if loving you is a crime

All I really want is for us to live together happily 

Share love that makes a dream sweet and real
