A LETTER TO MY PRINCE TO BE

It has been a while since I sat down to write something out to you. I have been caught up in so many things that I actually forget to take some time and think about you I apologize, though I know you understand fully, that all this in due time, shall bear good fruit, not just for me but those around me; including you. But I am here now, and I just thought I should jot down something to you, even as I wait for the day of your arrival. Oh how I can’t wait, for time to tell that the moment for us to come together has arrived. It seems like forever, but I’d rather wait, coz I know the longer it takes for me to get to you, the better the future will be for us. It is still hard to imagine that you are out there somewhere looking for me; down on your knees chanting a prayer every night that your eyes will one day be opened to see me.   I wish I knew who you are, so that I know how to prepare myself for you. I wish I knew where you are then I would at least come to meet you. I wish I knew how

SPEAK OUT!

I am slowly learning how to stop bottling things inside and talk about them. The usual me would keep it all in and try and come up with a solution for myself without giving any clue that anything was wrong with me. I loved to sit in my own cocoon, contemplate on my failures and weaknesses and what got me to the slimy pit I happen to be in at that particular moment. I’d most probably be closed up in my room coming up with endless imaginations of how my present life would have been if I had avoided the inducement. Well after all is said and done, one thing’s for sure: you still remain in square one. You think by simply brushing it all away you have dealt with the issue but in reality you have actually left it as a pending agenda waiting to be worked on. I love being a lone ranger. I do things on my own, come up with my own ideas, wanting to achieve them my own way and mostly being led by own convictions. But lately I have come to realize, it isn’t the best thing in life. There are times

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT LOVE

If there’s one thing I have come to learn and still digging deep on what it really is, is this supposedly frenzied subject matter called love. Quite frankly, I think I have been in and out of it numerous times, but the interesting thing is that it has so much to teach you, and you never get enough of it…Ever! In fact you get to crave more and more of it. But allow me to let you into my world. Come tag along and explore the various things that I have personally learnt about love. For some statements you may be like, ‘I knew that’, actually most of them but kindly put your pride and ego aside for a moment and try and reflect on the lessons you too have learnt about it. Hopefully you will relate to most of it if not all of it, if not, well, just go through it for your reading pleasure okay? 1.         God is love It is a proven fact, I have come to see. When I accepted Christ into my life, I was moved by the fact that someone would give his life for me, and die so that I could live. Looki

SHOW ME MY WARRIOR!

It is in this quiet, still atmosphere That I long to be in the company of someone dear But every time I look around me, there is something I hear A mysterious reverberation that inculcates my soul with fear A cold shiver runs down my spine The sound of a heart pounding so loudly, it can only be mine The darkness descends Tragedy is set to impend And How I wish I could amend All that’s about to transpire and bring it to an end I long to ask, this one question Hoping that someone would help and give me a solution Not just for this very moment but the days to come To ease the weight of them being burden-some Show me my warrior, Show him to me Show me the one man that will stand up against all adversity Show me he who is ready to give up his all No matter the day or time, he is geared up to take the fall Show me my warrior, show him to me Show me the one man that will not dwell only on building so called chemistry Show me a warrior, bring him to me Show me the one man that will look into m

FIRST KISS

It had nothing to do with me standing in the moonlight In fact, the sun awoke me that day, with its refreshing rays that brought delight And when the time had finally come, This is what I had to say: I stand before you here and now Pretty nervous though but ready to make my vow To the one man, that chose to be a warrior above all else By guarding my heart, propelling my focus toward God and nothing less I stand before a cloud of witnesses to testify of one thing This queen has found someone to position as her earthly King He walked up to me on day one Claimed me to be shinning bright like the noon day sun But I brushed him off and sent him on his way Thinking that it was some sort of game he wanted to play He kept on persisting, every night and day Until one day, I chose to stop being stubborn, and hear what he had to say It wasn’t anything much other than a “hallo” And at that point in time, I was quietly uttering, “Oh, no” I walked away hurriedly, but He took me by the hand The look

BROKEN...IN THE HOUR OF DARKNESS

Down a long, unending, deserted road... I walked In the shoes of a young woman,  who regrets losing her pride, in just one night.... This is the story I got to tell... At first sight, not many would have thought to persue in your direction But I chose to look more than once, hoping that something about you would make you my possession It didn't take time before I became fond of you, and you , me And after several occasions, It was undeniable that indeed there was inbuilt chemistry I spent better parts of my nights with you constantly on my mind I hoped that in my dreams, it was you I would find The 'like' abruptly changed into 'love' Everything about you saw my fears fly away like a dove You cared for me more than I expected Showed your kindness,in a million ways I had never anticipated Talked of a future that looked bright with me in it Hence the numerous jokes of us united as one, If God above saw it fit But the story then changed... That Night,

DEAR DAD...

It’s not everyday that I get to say or do something nice for you But I hope when you catch a glimpse of this You get to see that indeed I appreciate the bond between me and you. You walked into my life when I was an infant I was happy for a fact, and from that day, the word ‘dad’ stuck with an instant. It never took me long to get used to you, and I still remember how I would run into your arms open wide just to be close to you It made me feel safe, it made me feel secure It made feel that I was special and that no matter what anyone said, I would always be special to dad I was daddy’s little princess You were the king It is from you that learnt how to sing I begun to make music, and oh what joy to all it would bring Indeed if it wasn’t for you I don’t think I would be as highly esteemed as I am now I decided today to write this epistle Because after all we have been through together, there’s something deep within that still lies Deep within our hearts, deep within our souls Deep withi

BEHOLD YOUR BEAUTY

I tend to be one of these noisy, chattering lads at times, who is filled with joy and makes it my ambition to make everyone else around me as happy as could be. However, I can also be a silent as a church mouse, not necessarily because I have an issue (even though at times that may be the reason) but because, I just want to be silent. I want no one to tell me what to do, how to do it, what to say, where to go… I just want to be alone and think about me for a while. So while in my zone of having some ‘me time’, I happened to think about the value and importance that we as individuals have. Do allow me to speak to the single ladies in this one, but maybe you aren’t single and just want to read through this, well, go right ahead. Now many thoughts lingered my mind as I tried to wonder why some things occur to some people. On the outside they glow like the stars in the night sky. Walk tall with there heads held high, making it seem like all is A-okay. What we really don’t know is that wha

IT'S ALL ABOUT ONE FACTOR

One of things we fail miserably to do in this life is take care of ourselves. We tend to at times extend our boundaries to accommodate the the things of the world for invalid reasons like wanting to have fun. One of the famous statements you will hear is this one here,"Every one is doing, so why not? Why can't I?" If you know that you are a child of the King and that is the kind of mentality that you have, I have three statements for you... GROW UP! SHAPE UP! STYLE UP! You are not everyone. You are the child of a king, the child of THE KING, JESUS. So just in case you thought you were on the road to good living and enjoyment of your youth or your life, STOP RIGHT THERE!!!! YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE WRONG ROAD. A small not is here to remind you just what you ought to do and how you out to do it...   Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life." Verse 24... Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far f
