SO LITTLE TIME


With so little time
How can one measure life?
If it is too short to live
Too short to grief over a berieved one

Sometimes it feels like I am abandoned
I can not figure out my true self
Why I struggled to chase after my dreams
And lost track of time 

I tried to envisage life big picture
Despite it took me so long to look
But it is difficult with times so hard
To accept I wear a heart that can withstand time

You may be right about me
But what if the tide turns towards you?
Would you accept life to be cruel
 If it feels like you have no purpose

Not enough to time to keep a commitment
Not enough time to be loved
Not enough time to correct your mistakes
And be judged out of context

A friend on the street
Sometimes maybe all that we need
When the going is getting turf
They remind us that life is not always bad

Even when we someone takes advantage
Of their trust and take it for a weakness
Do not let life get the best of you
If there is no one to answer your questions

12 THINGS EVERYBODY SHOULD DO IN 2019


 *1. In 2019, Pursue something*.
Don't walk in the entire 365 days without having something particular in mind to achieve. Start a building project, buy a car, pay some school fees, start some job. Just do something!

 *2. In 2019, Walk with people wiser or stronger than you*. In 2019, surround yourself with people who will inspire you, who will make you feel you can do better, who will challenge you on.

 *3. In 2019, Check your dressing or appearance*.
Don't put on 'anything' just because it covers your nakedness. Your appearance tells a lot about you. Iron your dress neatly. Don't wear dresses in the name of fashion or trend . Wear more decent but fitting dresses. This is the slogan: Simple but Classy.

 *4. In 2019, Check how you talk*. Before you open your mouth, be minded of who you are talking to, where you are talking, when you are talking and also know that your integrity is at stake. In every situation, choose silence over speech unless you don't have any option.

 *5. In 2019, Visit people's home*. Visit the old to appreciate them also orphanage and children in need of special care.  Don't let them feel unwanted or neglected in the scheme of things.

 *6. In 2019, be more prayerful*. You can't live your life thinking things occur merely logically. There's a Supreme Being who makes things happen, pray to him.

 *7. In 2019,* start thinking or planning towards doing more for humanity.

 *8. In 2019, be Positive and Realistic*.
Always think Positive while being Realistic. When you see tigers praying to God, don't join them. You can be positive that they won't 'chop' you since they are praying but be realistic too that after the prayers, they'll remain tigers and God will feed them with flesh.

 *9. Buy gifts for your love ones*.
In 2019, try and do something 'small' for parents . You have no idea what  goes on in their minds  Let them feel you are not far off

 *10. In 2019, Invest more, save less, spend less*.
Put your money into investment ventures. Buy T-bills, buy shares, buy fixed deposits, import some goods and sell, be a stock broker, etc. In fact, get more than one stream of income!

 *11. In 2019, Take life Easy*.
Many known names have gone and life goes on. . The point is, don't work your life out. You won't take your work with you when you die. You are not as important as you think, calm down. Take time off work, go and do medical check-up, visit your family, visit gardens or the beach and appreciate nature, etc.

 *12. After* reading, send this message to all your groups and contacts, it may be of help to someone.
