SHE CRIES

She Cries,
Look at her as she really cries.....
When we stop praying
She cries....
Strangled by looting and Injustice
She Cries.....
See her children held bound by poverty
Working so hard getting so little.
The National Treasury is left Naked,
Immorality stealing away our Children.
Nigeria cries oh! she really cries.

Can we see our young minds wasting
Can we be more than this?
Our structures are decaying,
One by one we see them die.
What lies ahead for unborn children?
See our mother as she cries....


Where is that Generation of Surgeons
that will repair the Broken bones of our mother
with values and principles
that can heal our land.
Rubbing in the balm of Righteousness.
Unborn children will require this of us.
We can reach out to the different sectors
And straighten out those crooked places

DEFINING MOMENTS

When everybody seems to be so busy rushing off to meet the Deadline,
strike a business deal,trying to make 24hrs count for something
But we forget,........................
We will never regret the times we stopped to give a listening ear
When all that mattered between the second and minute was a smile...
We will never regret the time we bent down to wipe away the tears of a crying child.
Those defining moments that can determine so much about our Destiny.............
Meetings will end but the memories of kind deeds we leave behind in the hearts of others will last forever.
Our children will remember the times
we took out time from our busy schedule to play with them,they might not remember the new dress we threw into their face.
The times we took out to treat others well will always count for something.
We will not regret we made an effort to hold our tongue,even when we desperately wanted to say something.
Those times we extend a hand of Encouragement to somebody on the verge of giving up,
When we looked into the eyes of others and let them know we believe in them..........
Defining Moments when all that mattered was a LITTLE...!

WALK AWAY

To walk away from Yesterday,
To write the wrongs of yesterday,
To turn back the hand of time
To wish away the mistake.
If all these were possible,
If this is just the way it could be
Yesterday has gone and cannot be brought back
But we can begin again today
We can take hold of today and
Start all over again.

The mistake of Yesterday,
Can bring beauty into today
When we realize like the Ant
that every failure can be a stepping
stone for progress................
Oh! to walk away and live again.


Sitting in today but buried your dreams
in the shores of yesterday.........
Buried your dreams,aspirations,wishes,hopes,
in the ashes of yesterday?
No,No,No,No,No, dig them out,
And say to yourself
My yesterday will not hold me captive...

A HEART

A heart Dear Lord,
A Channel,
A corridor filled with Love.
When i do not understand give me a heart,
as dark days and bright days
kiss each other Lord!give me a heart.
When what i want does not come,
all i ask,is for a heart.
When the ones i hold Dear go their
own way,father all i want is
eyes to still see the stars.

As the green leaves turn yellow
All we need is a heart
When betrayal welcomes us at the door,
Lord give us a HEART.
When Joy seems so silent I pray
for a Heart.
Wisdom to know the difference is all I ask for
Let threads of your Love
Sew my heart together...
When adversity kisses my face
All I need is a heart
A heart to carry your Destiny
And a heart to step into your Inheritance.
Dear Lord all we ask for
Is a Heart......

JUST ONE

Just one is great as a whole
One song can spark a moment
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest
One bird can hearald a spring
One Smile begins a friendship
One handclasp lifts a soul
One star can guide a ship at sea
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a Nation
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness
One laugh will conquer gloom
One step must start each Journey
One word must start each Prayer
One hope will raise our spirits
One touch can show you care
One voice can speak with Wisdom
One heart can know what's true
One life can make the difference
You see it's up to you...........


Excerpts not mine......

OUR BOND

Who can understand the bond so inseparable,
confined within the bounds of Love,
A union where God has an Interest.
Minds are shaped through this basic unit.

But what has gone wrong
The baskets of roses have faded away.
Our morals have been sacrificed on the Altar of need.
Broken homes have now become the Fashion
Where has that beautiful family gone?

The progress of our Nation,
Is determined by this bond.
Then what becomes of our land
If the family is characterized by abuse and neglect
Let's all rise to the challenge to
Build our HOMES......

YOU

pregnant regime waiting to unleash,
like claws grips and tears apart
Who can understand it's cunning ways
You stole into our land
Child of the white long legs
At this stage we still crawl
You have scratched us and left us wounded.

Go back to your Habitation,
You have Broken the National Treasury
Left our Nation like a woman's sagging Breast
You have followed us into our homes
And roped our children in a web of Laziness.


It's our time to face you
Just like a cameleon
You change your colours
But we know you.
You are called Corruption......!
We will change your name,
And drive you out.
Our children will make
Jest of you.....
