The Master Builder
I don’t believe ideal love is real…
Can castles in the sky be built to last
eternities? Or rather burn, as fast
as marriage papers (and melt the holy seal)?
Besides, I hate to think I’m meant to steal
the blueprint to a fortress from my past
to use to plan my future, to forecast
the whim of winds who caren’t

I am not Bob the Builder
Located in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea,
In the town of Ashaiman Ghana,
There is an aspiration within me to become his source of hope.
Two years of heartfelt affection and thoughtful consideration have led me to question whether I should emulate Bob the Builder.
Should I aspire to be his savior, I must acknowledge that

Bob the Builder
You apologize over and over,
Yet do it again cold shoulder.
In church every Sunday saying you’re a “righteous” man,
But at home you’re the devil’s right hand man.
It’s crazy how your so smart and calculated with liquor,
Yet you didn’t even graduate high school no paper.
You had jobs that paid well
Now you’re jobless cause of

Gazing Through the Widow
“A window would really open up
The place”
The builder had said,
“Light up the room,
You know.
Gotta have something to
Bring in the light
Round here”
“Yes, yes,
A window would do fine”
My dearest replied,
So long ago.
And sitting here
At the window
So many years
After she had
Gone away from me,
I am reminded of her.
When the sun peeks its rays
Around the

The Little Cottage
The little cottage
Built by my beloved father
Is old and small
But loves begins here
And never ends
It carries on years after years
Wherever you go
You won't forget
It's like a magnet
It's like the force of gravity
It links to your mind and your soul
Buried deep in your memory
Even after it's vanished in a big fire
Even after its builder

Castle Builder
You bring whimsical words
of glittering, gold-filled escapades
and of sparkling star-dust dreams.
Dreams of gallant adventure and peril,
with a Don Quixote way of tilting windmills.

Builder of Dreams
I met a man who was a builder, harder life than some.
His lifetimes measure built of him the man he has become.
A carpenter who works with hands, grown tough through each nail driven.
For each connection made he stands to witness love he’s given.
A life that’s built of wood and people, dreams all shared with God.
Connected

Fellow Life-Builder
With God’s love binding our friendship
we delight in sweet fellowship.
Praying together midst His grace
hearts praise through Scriptures’ brace.
Exalting Christ in our venture
faith shows caring kindness- gesture.
Through your concern I’m edified
inspired steadfastly fortified.
Your passion for the Lord, glowing
fires me up toward peace-sowing.
Leading me to servanthood bliss
your example I cannot miss.
Grateful that you’re a precious gift
my soul

One builder saw a sticker on a freezer,
Depicting the leaning tower of Pisa,
He grinned:- I can do,
Build such houses too,
With my skill make the lean very easy.

Jesus the Bridge Builder
There's a gap between earth and heaven
so far separates this great divide
what can a man do for a remedy?
not a clue just like Adam go and hide
But God looks down from heaven above
sees His creation in such sinful mess
His perfect righteousness says it won't do
sinfulness corrupts so God can't bless
Only Jesus God's son could

The Builder
The Builder
If it does not bite you at the end of each breath,
Then I will start again and again
And I will rewrite it, all over again.
Do it all again; pretend we are friends.
I never claimed to believe in anything ‘real’.
These lips are sealed to forever lovers.
I wish I had never gone undercover.
In my happy disguise,
