LIFE WITHOUT YOU






Life without you
Is like living without the sun
Living without the moon
And living without the rain
I will be miserable the rest of my life

I HAD A VISION




I had a vision that mankind will climb higher in his endeavors
A heart of a mansion that Nigerians will be ruled by a just man

I had a vision that someday there will be change
A drastic change that no man can influence

I had a vision that everyman will go back home
To the life we once had, filled with good memories and hope

I had a vision that our economy will be the best in Africa
I had a vision that every child will enjoy good health care
Every girl child will have provisions to education

I had a vision that the pains Nigerian's once had
Will be taken away and smile restored back in our lives

I had a vision that the war we once fought
Will be won due to love, unity, peace and long suffering

I had a vision that many Nigerians will see no reason to want to travel abroad
There will be so much wealth, businesses will prosper and there will be creation of jobs

I had a vision that the labor of our heroes past
Will be justified by everyman's will is right to fight

I had a vision that our rail system will work again
And someday our electricity will be restored

I had a vision that injustice will no longer be tolerated
That the cost of living will be stabilized
And every woman will find her man

I had a vision that there will be reconstruction of the roads
Disease and sickness eradicated from our homes
Agriculture will be fruitful, animals healthier

I had a vision that a man will walk out late at night with ease
That the police will curb the crimes with sincerity

I had a vision of a time when we will walk in the rain and not get wet
That we will all live in a perfect world where there will be no regret

A world where our common interest will be protected
A world where there will be no negative stories told
Stories of death, cruelty and sadness

TODAY

Dedicated to my dear sister Esther Emmanuel whom is celebrating her birthday today the 27th May



Today would be incomplete
If out of the smile you brought to our lives
The joy and companion you bear
I fail to remember you when a kid chasing your dreams
Why the stars where bright around you
Why God had a special plan for you

He told me everything you've lost He will be renew
Your blessing will be like a river that flows around the world
For a diamond will not match the worth of your joy
Your birth was a piece of the puzzle which made up a beautiful world
As you celebrate your birthday today
It reminds us the beauty of your love and affection we gain

Today it rained because God was shedding joy
For it wasn't easy for Him when he gave you away
He loved you so much but he knew you were meant in our lives to stay
I will celebrate in my heart with you such a special day 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
