BELIEVE IN YOUSRELF

Believe in yourself and have faith in you

Believe in the things to be achieved in you

Faith takes a man places never imagined

A sea is deep and wide but the distance may can bridged

Life is borrowed, but can be lived satisfied

As heaven is real so does the will in you and I

As long there is a sun, hope can lift the spirit high

You can be a torch that light a path in the dark

Only when you believe in you will there be courage to fight

Courage to achieve all the things dreamt of inside

Life is a continuous perception of self

Man sometimes gets what he thinks the world has left

Or get more if believes he can cultivate the earth

Every difficulties and challenges has a threshold

As success toward life can be unfold

SOW A SEED

Have you ever thought of putting a smile on a strangers face?

Give arms to the blind begging on the street each day

Be a friend to a brother that's depressed and need someone to talk to

Find time to show love to orphans in the motherless home

Go to the prison and give hopes to the captive

Pray for a friend, a brother, a sister or a relative

When you make a promise, do you keep them?

Do you lend a helping hand when you come across someone in need?

How often do you have time to call or check up on a friend?

When you tell someone you love them,

Did you say it deeply out from your heart?

Are you fair when judging dispute between people?

Do you visit a neighbor who is sick and admitted at the hospital?

Spend time with her to show how much you care

How often do you call your parents to say thank you for taking care of you?

Do you often remember to thank and appreciate God for keeping you?

You've got to find time between life and work

Think soberly about the things you need to do

We've got the opportunity to show love to someone

We've got the privilege to help someone in need

We have to appreciate the things and people around us

No man can make it on his own without assistant and favors from God

Make time and get down on your knees, give thanks and appreciation to God

Find time out of your busy schedule and sow a seed

You can't tell how much you will be helping

To make the world a better place for you and me

SHEPHERD WITHOUT A FLOCK

A shepherd without a flock

Left on the hill sitting on the rock

Folks depending on me to feed

But I have got no sheep and got no meat

Like an outcast I wander into the desert

Thirsty to drink from the fullness of life and death

My eyes deemed of worries and starvation

With every breath in me I staggered under the sun

Troubled with thoughts of how to feed a nation?

When I can't turn a stone into bread

Shame, failure and disappointments

Bared as I journey on ahead

My visions are faint but something kept my heartbeat

It stroked me to look further down east

There I saw salvation, for it was blur at first as the weather

I pick my strength and pull them all together

For I found a lamb from heaven my needs He fed

I went back home wealthier, healthier and better

And bear with me the Lamb of God, the world to feed
