The Only Thing I See
THE ONLY THING I SEE
The only thing I see is sapphire
The ornament hasn’t passed through a fire
It was held loosely with a thin wire
Scavengers around treated it as a ‘sire’
The crave for it was awesome, strong desire
Somewhat became an obsession, quite dire
The only thing I see is success
Mind you, I haven’t gone on a recess
I only need someone to help with an access
One that will review my proposal: to assess
God’s mercy can unlock favour, not a mistress
Hardwork, faith, hardwork and a good business
The only thing I see now is upliftment
We haven’t reached the age of retirement
All steps taken; even the right adjustment
Times are tough; focus needed not merriment
Though many have failed even with good judgement
Optimism is very essential to move from the basement
The only thing I see is Mercy
Am not talking of that friend of Lucy
It opened doors to everything that’s Juicy
How else could we have left such Legacy
Even our foes initially mumbled Fallacy
They seem to have recovered from apparent Lunacy
The only thing I see is divine Grace
Am not talking of the damsel in fine Lace
I mean the one you get when you seek His Face
A gift that’s available to people of all Race
Those who have chosen to win life’s Race
Trust and rest on God, he surely has the Ace
