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
