LIKE A FLOWER

Dedicated to you.... my lovely sister Emmanuel Ekaete

Like a flower planted in the garden of heaven

Your joy and blessings overflow

It fills the cloud with your glory

The earth yearning to be conceive in your joy

Like the wind blowing by the sea side

God gave you a heart so soft and pure

Creating you demanded God so much more

He gave you a kiss and hugged you with love

You are made so beautiful

Heaven cried tears of joy and happiness some many years on this day

God wanted you to stay but knew He had to give you away

He blessed you with a heart so bright it lighted the sky

Just has man can't measure the length of the sky

The world can't measure the impact you bestow in our lives

You are rare, unique and one-of-a-kind

Born with a heart of gold, made to change the hands of time

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HEART OF A CHILD

A child bears no grudge and hate

Every morning she wakes up and says a prayer for you

She loves the world beyond her imperfection

Never worries because she knows God has taking care of her needs

The heart of a child is meek and gentle

To her parent she is the source of pride

She believes in dreams and fairy-tales

That someday they will grow and fly

A child cries when she need your attention

A friend when you need someone that cares

She brings joy and laughter to the heart

When she says am sorry, she meant it down from her heart

When she smiles the whole world smiles with her

Her compassion heals the burden of a broken heart

She is a source of blessing to everyone

A child brings out the best in each and everyone

A LETTER TO MY UNBORN CHILD

Dear Child,



The world is beautiful and breathtaking


Filled with an enormous view of God's creation

It offers you everything needed to be happy
You have an amazing mother 
In her bosom, you will find uncompromised love


Growing up is demanding

We all have to create our own path

It is good to have dreams, it will help you grow

If someday you get lost in the dark, yet have but a pen

Cherish it with your life, the world will find you



When bullies picked at you, fight back
This may not be a promising adventure
But it will wade them off eventually

Give you a sense of self-confidence

Also, guide your choices in relationship


Maybe help you get over a heartbreak


Truth is life is confusing sometimes


Yet everything happens for a reason

Always ensure you get counsel from your mother

She will lead you when in need of direction



As a child, I was deprived of amenity

I grew up the hard way

Looking back; it gave me something I would never lack
Hope, courage, resilience, and the heart to love
In life, the choices we make are endless
Follow your heart; listen to your conscience



Always be humble, treat your elders with respect

In the future, you will be wiser and a better man

A good character can help you become great
The door to success though may not be abreast

When you look consciously, it is left ajar



When it needs, look up to the Lord with a keen heart

It is alright to be prone to mistakes

But must also take responsibility for your actions
I never promised life is going to be perfect


That is why we are conscious of the things we do


You might not understand these words


Not by meditating on it day and night

But put them close to your heart

Let them be your companion every time

Especially when you have troubled night



We will always cherish the day God made you


And will never be ceased from loving you
These words are from within a fathers heart

I hope they find you in good time

I love you from the depth of my heart


Dad
