Kaunar Allah

"Kaunar Allah", let
me tell u what it
means in English,
its a love like a
fire that you can't
extinguish,
no wonder am a
Nigerian this love
is making me look
greenish,
I don't have much
but with this love
am been rich.


I wake up every
morning to viewing
ma t.v screen,
only to have visions
that my pasture will
be green.
That time shall come
i shall no longer
beg,
my abusers will even
kneel to kiss my
leg.


Such an affection
from the God i
serve,
even though i don't
really deserve.
Father, of you am so
proud,
that's why i've to
write this piece
aloud.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
