Best Has Been Poems

   God's Been Good

Yes, I realize for many He has 
no place.
But we pray for those to find His
grace.
To stop adoring their human face.

So much in good in life to do!
To tutor, to visit the ill.
And stop thinking as poets we
are kings and...

an old lady walks all alone
    her legs are so tired 
          but her face so happy . . . 
for at last she has found this dreamy place

Twenty twenty a very strange year
From March onward most living in fear
You will all know what I'm talking about
COVID 19 I hear you all shout

It all started in the far East
Gaining momentum like a ravaging beast
Isolated pockets and countries locking down
As corona virus swept from...

You say that you want me but I don't believe 
as I sit in your silence uncovering me 
over thinking that you would even seldom think   
my tumultuous waters were worth a small drink   
   
I'm busted and broken and all sorts of...

There is nothing I won't do
To try and finally get through
To a world who is not well
Somehow we all tripped and fell
Right into a hole of hate
I just hope it's not too late
For climbing out of the deep
Anger that we slowly seep
Into souls, quickly burning
Out...

I find that as I stroll along
                                 I fall into reflection
A wading pond...

My heart has been used and abused 

Into pieces it was broken
It broke 
Couldn't function 
like a person hit by the stroke
I then lost trust in love
lost hope
Couldn't cope
Sometimes got tempted
to take a rope
and end this pain
driving me insane
End this misery
causing me to break physically...

Food for thought !
Over what has been lost.

Days of long ago - filled with much flavour,
Foods exotic – for the discerning palate to savour.

There was Beef Wellington to enjoy.
Delicious, Lobster Thermador – Oh Boy !

There was exotic Japanese cuisine.
Much Chinese food to be seen.

There was...

A single flame will always burn 
 As a memory for us to remember and learn 
 It was a cold winter’s day 
 The twentieth of January 
A young man standing in the bitter wind 
 And a new chapter in our history was...

They burst on the silver screen
Each a goddess, a sultry queen
Adept in the tricks of the trade
Striving to make the grade
They were each a living doll

A beautiful image portrayed
As every role they deftly played
In each home, they were center stage
Their latest movie all the rage
They...

Around my neck they put a noose. You ask if it is to tight i say it is to loose. They hang me because I have to much money. They hate me because I stand up for what is right. Go ahead and hang me...

Jesus Has Been So Faithful to Us!

As I look back on what God brought us through.
I’m so thankful for his faithfulness so true!

I think about the time when I was out of work.
And the times I was down to my “last shirt.”

Just when things seemed...

The nation is thrown into grief.
Our national flag is flying at half mast.
Everyone is wearing a sack cloth.
The dangling axe fell on us.
And the mighty has fallen.
Our hearts are filled with dread,
And our eyes as heavy as lead.
Nigeria, Africa’s number one soccer nation, 
Has been...
