No one only her eyes
Glimmer beyond the sunlight
Rays of hope still present
She faintly smile
May my happy days come?
She question herself multiple times
Immersed in deep thoughts
Tear stream softly from her eyes
Her hope of becoming successful one day
Become blur under the sunlight
May I be able to achieve my dream?
She ask herself every time
Many tried to break her emotionally
She remain quite
Thinking time teaching her lesson
She smile again
May I gain happiness in future?
She raise question herself
Her quench of gaining happiness
Started becoming vague
Her dream of so called "success"
Lost underneath clouds
So, no one only her eyes
raise question with hope till today

Saddle steak catering
he bragged of the flavor.
We though he was
a clownish type
of joker who wished to
create an audience for his
product. We found the price
quit steep, and looked odd
for a steak. The center hole
made room for jokes: but
when they tasted it they
swooned to there knees.
i saw the crooner sing spoke
the woman, i heard him whoo.
i knew then what I was about to
taste was something
incredible something
far more then intriguing. The spotlight
shoned on the stranger: who's
performance
would be determined by
his expression to
the flavor.
they Sernaded the
Saddle Steak as King
of all steaks!
Neupert and Bluthner
accompanis an orchestra to
decribe the tenisity of bife!
Mezzo Soprano said of the meal.

“No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you.We are victims of evil customs.It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut within the four walls of the houses as prisoners.There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live.”

Baba Suwe, in juncture of despair,
Thy joke stuns away distress.
Concocting in hearts lusty intense.
Now, we sleep when thou walketh to the dark deep realm.

Baba ruhusu yako Rehema ya Mwana Rehema yake iwe juu yetu
Baba Niokoe na mdomo wangu;
Kitendo hiki ninapokiri;
Hizo dhambi na makosa;
Nimekuwa sina imani;
Baba ruhusu yako
Rehema ya Mwana;
Rehema yake iwe juu yetu;
Yesu rehema Yesu huruma na neema Hatuokoa kutoka kwa kifo cha milele; Kwa maana iko mbinguni mahali nitakapoishi milele
~
Father
Save me with my mouth;
This action when I do confess;
Those these sins and transgression;
I've been faithless;
Father allow you
Son's mercy;
His mercy to be will endow on us;
Jesus mercy;
Jesus mercy and grace;
Saves us from eternal death;
For it's in heaven;
a place I'm going to live for all eternity;

Baby Baba
Wake up to Baby Baba,
He said every morning.
More like a lion than a lamb.
I tumble out of bed.
Oatmeal on the stove,
Brown sugar surpasses oatmeal,
You don't mind.
Your heart so big,
Hands so strong.
Two jobs at times,
To give us what we need.
Hard work is what we learned.
Being a protective mom and daughter is what I am.
Your heart is so big,
Too big for your body.
Blood flowing too fast.
The doctor says surgery.
To give you more time,
For you, for me, for your family.
The waves come and go,
The sun rises and sets,
Everyone goes on with their lives.
My world has stopped.
To think of it without you.
The stars will be there every night.
Will you be looking at them too?
The heart in my chest,
Beats harder, stronger, faster.
To ease yours a bit.
Murmur, they say.
Cardiologist, he's called.
Echo, EKG, give it to me!
Just let me see my dad again!
You are important to us.
To teach us, to love us.
Say good night, Baby Baba.
But...
After surgery,
Say Good morning!

Greeting of the day
Is here to convey
The earnest recognition of affection
Directly from the heaven
Wrapped in his divine invisibility
Enclosed within her words
Sent towards you, to wish in bliss
What he remembers
What we remember
Happy Wedding Anniversary

When I first met you
In your lap I was
I felt like I had known you forever,
telling you everything
And what I didn’t
You knew it by my face
I bet you thought It’d never end,
Who would have even thought
You would leave me like that
When in my hands, your head was
Over a period of time,
I got to learn you
A person so caring and gentle,
With a heart so true
You’ve survived your life
Left us with hurt and loneliness
I told you I’d never leave
Because of the feelings I have inside
I know You
Like no one I have ever known,
And sometimes I wondered
I would be nothing without you
So I have decided
Not to leave you alone
Will come to you daily
No wall, no being can separate us
I love the way we were together,
You used to make me smile
With you I was, You
Now am not even me
Remember me always
and I will too
I always think of
Me and you
And you, Oh you
You are gone…
Though your love was deep
Though my love was deep

Standing in front of the hidden entrance
On horseback, with loud sacks
Clinking as loot hit loot.
With smiles of satisfaction adorning their faces
The chief said the magic words, and in went the team;
Safe from the spoiled, safe from the world,
Ready to go back out and lay misery on poor souls

Hope built on imaginary gains,
A resort of d poor,
We are addicted.
It is summer, pam 3 with 4, or 4 from 4,
In fact my late grandfather gave me
A sure banker! Liverpool vs Southampton,
This Saturday with #5000,
Am sure to b richer than Bill Gate
To b richer faster,
I shall invest heavily on baba ijebu...

You made me feel like a Princess
Fulfilling my stupid wishes...
From my baby steps to my big success
I found you standing with me always...
I slept on your lap every night
Urging you to hold me tight...
On every mistake you scolded me
But the next moment......
You shower your love on me...
While chasing my dreams you never let me go astray
Like a guiding star you showed me the way...
Every child mumble first word as "Maa"
I am the only one who uttered " Baba"
I am proud to be your daughter
Yeah!!! Its true you are world's Best father
