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
