I AM NOT LOOKING FOR FAME

I am like every man out there working hard to make a living

I am hustling every day on the street from morning to evening

I've got to wake up early and get home late everyday

I give my best and try to do all it takes to have a better day

I am not looking for fame; just want to have a decent life

 I may dress up neatly with my suit on looking smart 

Work extra hours and sometimes do odd jobs to get by for a start

It doesn't mean i am proud or trying to impress anyone beside me in life

I am not looking for fame; just want to have a decent life

I want to make enough money to take care of my family and buy my wife the things she deserved

I want to be happy and be nice to people around

Life can only be beautiful when we achieve the things we dream of

If you are sitting by, life is going to leave you lagging behind and rip you off

I am not looking for fame; just want to have a decent life

 I have got to be on my feet and chase the things i long for as a man

I might get a promotion tomorrow; it doesn't mean i will become a pompous man

If tomorrow you see me in my car driving down the street

Please don't envy me, I am still me and am not going change a bit

To live comfortably is every man's dream in life

I am not looking for fame; just want to have a decent life

FLOWERS IN THE WIND

Thoughts of you excavate my heart

Lamps of crystal sparkle through my heart

Memories of your beauty chase the wind

Kisses and love with smile amid

Torrents of emotions swaying towards east

My heart purged with million excuses your love not to cease

I see you through the stars and the night I couldn't let go

You communion the heart, mind, body and soul

A scent of roses the night borrowed

I knelt in despair of losing these moments tomorrow

Your love flushed my heart and made her humming

The wind i climb for breath as I am submerged in you

The night sober, I could hear her whispering to you

That night my thoughts where green and he left never the same

Birds where whistling a song that night as I dance my heart out

No more lonely thoughts of cold nights in December

Flowers in the wind, that’s how I think of you all through September

My love for you is bigger than the moon and purer than a river

A MOUNTAIN SO SHORT

Have you being searching for a job for years?

Are you going through life and can barely feed for days?

Are you having breakup in your relationships?

Are you lost and can't seem to find a way back home with ease?

Are you married and barren with child for years?

Do you keep failing examinations in college?

Are you working for long and can't get a promotion at the office because you are at the edge?

Are you in your mid-thirties, and scared no one will ask your hands in marriage?

Are you in prison wrongly accused and misjudged for a crime you didn't commit?

Are you all alone neglected by families and friends you feel like suicide to commit?

Are things out of control in life you gave up hope of surviving it?

God's telling you today that He is aware of what you're going through

Close your eyes and open your heart and He will see you through

Look deep into your heart and faith you will find

That life can only hold you down in the state of your mind

For they are a mountain so short that you can climb
