There are brave men and women somewhere tonight
standing in alert and ready to fight.
I send a simple prayer
as they bravely march on through
defending the honor of the Red, White and Blue.
No air conditioned condo's and fine dining in their ranks.
They march on foot, or cargo trucks, in flight or Army tanks.
For all of us you risk your life, and your world is upside down.
I believe in heaven there's a jewel in your crown.
May a star be-speckled sky
be the road that lights your way,
as a comet’s tail protects you
and surrounds you everyday
may the moons of ages past
cast a brilliance on your life
may motherearth hold the secrets
as your footsteps land on strife
I watched as you breached the void
between the veils I’ve yet to lift,
I first held your hand in friendship
and my heart was thrown adrift
So, in love with your first breath
that I had nothing left to fear,
see the one thing I always protect
is something I now hold dear
you’re the strength that god sent down
to help me on my way,
my little smiling devil
and to thank the heavens I do pray
now my child of grace and love
shadows the face of the world
she is the reason I’m leaving
my paper-heart and love unfurled
this prayer and spirit is binding
to hold you on your way,
I love you my darling daughter
and will, forever and a day
for my Gorgeous Daughter on her birthday 09.07.2010
Temitope, think twice today and be thankful
For you were born-bold bright and beautiful
Into a world that is wealthy, wide and wonderful
For God’s grace and glory… be grateful
From the depth of my heart, I wish you well
On your birthday, I bring you this blessed bell
Thanking God for sweet stories I have to tell;
You are lively and lovely… you’ve got a liberal label
My pen have got something special to say
Not just to wish you a beautiful birthday.
My heart has got a pleasant prayer to say;
You’ll have more youthful year and never sway.
Dedicated to
Afore likewise yonder lies the way of peace
Resting in another’s prayer and sacrifice
In a Dream, I saw Jesus the other day---
So I asked Him, how should I truly pray?---
He looked at me with a wonderful smile---
Replying, prayer should be said without denial---
Not understanding, I pleaded for Him to explain---
His answer amazed me, but caused a little pain---
The Lord said, pray each day in the manner I did
upon the cross---
Never forgetting that the Holy Spirit is
truly your only boss.
Her eyes concerned,
Her smile soothing,
Her touch caring,
Her heart kind
Her presence comforting;
Her ambition service,
Her speech, love
Her prayer, peace
Her scripture simplicity and tranquility.
Her hymn shelter, holiness and purity.
Her meditation humility, gaiety and generosity.
Her fruit of silence was prayer,
Her fruit of prayer was faith,
Her fruit of faith was love,
Her fruit of love was service
Her fruit of service was peace.
Countless mothers are there in this world,
But who like her shines like gold?
She was an angel to humanity, a blessing and a boon.
Words are too less to describe a human like her
She was to the poor, sick. downtrodden,
Orphans and destitute a saviour.
Her name will be written in God's book with gold,
Her immortal, spotless soul shall never be old.
