THANK YOU FATHER

 Thank you Father for taking care of me
Thank you for looking out for me
Ungratefulness, I do not want to be
I know you are putting a lot of wages on me

Not that you are too generous
Not that you are callous
But because you knew I am imperfect
You have been relentlessly patient

It is true, I can not hide anything
From you the creator of heaven and earth
Lord help me to find my direction
Help me to be focus, and have determination

Thank you Father for everything
The sky, the sea and birds that sing
The air breathe in and out of me
And for loving me

TO LOSS SOMEONE YOU LOVE

Dedicated to my good friend.. Faith Egbeho, who just lost her dad. May his Gentle soul rest in Perfect peace.

Now I know the feeling
What it means 
To loss someone you love
This is indescribable
The pain growing inside my heart
I would trek a thousand miles
If I can find a way to get closer to you
I love the tender years you watched me grow

I will treasure my childhood memories 
Of walking around in your shoes
How you cuddle me in your arms
Watch me grow into someone beautiful
Last night I had an awful dream
I could not find you around to sleep by my bed
I refuse to accept that you are now gone
Who is going to watch over me?

I am not trying to get attention
But life will never be the same without you
How can I smile again, if I can not find joy
It all seem like my world is going under
I have a plan, I have made up my mind
One day I am going to make you smile again
I promise not to let you down, I will be strong 
Please wait for me, Until we meet again in heaven

I AM LOST

I am lost 
But I would not sit an cry
There may be no one to help me
There maybe no one looking for me

I am going to hold on to my pride
Never give in to self doubt
With no one to guide me
I would not let fear tear me apart

I have learnt to look inside me
When I need someone to talk to
Only he understands my feeling
And the pain I am going through

There is no amount of consolation
That can unbind a heart prone to defeat
Once hope and courage is lost
It takes a life time to be back on track

No one can hurt me
If I do not consent to defeat
At the other side of the grieving wall
There is a world made of  imagination

There is a firing will burning inside me
The wind can never put it out
The splashing water from the sea can not affect it
I will let not my dream be deterred
