YOU ARE A HERO

You are a hero to that beggar you gave arms on the street
Because of you they don't need to steal for them to feed
You are a hero to a friend you gave comfort in time of distress
For reminding them that someone outthere cares to help relive their stress
You are a hero for believing in your dreams
You work hard to be the person you are today by achieving your dreams
You are a hero to that child you gave aids to at the orphanage
For given her hope that she is still loved even without her biological parentage 
You are a hero to that girl you feel in love and got married to
For given her pride that she is pretty like everyone else and got a future with you also 
You are a hero to your families back home
For working so hard to provide for their daily needs and reminding them that they are not alone
You are a hero to that patient you donated blood to at the hospital
Because of you she is still alive today, you given her a reason to be grateful 
You are a hero to a homeless man you helped out off the street
You provided him shelter to lay his head on everyday and food to eat
You are a hero to your children
For teaching them whats right and for supporting their dreams to the end

LIFE’S JOURNEY

Life sometimes can be demanding
You’ve got to adapt to life situations as it keeps changing
The journey of life sometimes can be so rough
At times it can be smooth like driving 120km on the high way
Life always has a track laid ahead
Man's directed as he forges ahead
You will come across road blocks and sharp turns
Bridges or a straight road where you need no horns
To avoid accidents, the will to drive through
Your dexterity and skills in handling bumps
Will determine your progress in life

And the extend on how much success you will achieve in life
In achieving your purpose and aim in life
It affects how successful you will become
How rich you will be in obtaining life resources

Sober and relaxed with an assured achievable esteem

SHEEP IN THE RAIN

I am a sheep wandering in the rain
All soaked and lonely, no shelter or refuge
I am dying silently everyday in  pain
Betrayed, accused, deprived and forsaken
Suffering inevitably of guilt for my dignity
I have for long searching for a heart to accept me
Thriving to unjustified the curse the world has put on me
No one to aid the love i yield
Rejected by brothers, families, friends and the world itself
Not perfect for who i am, but human like everyone else
Why is it difficult for one to believe in my dreams?
Why can't anyone accept me for who i am?
I am left strained in the rain, soaked and cold
I am left in the rain to fend on my own
I am a sheep in the rain left to struggling all alone
