My Greatest Treasure

   

My blessings shine like pure bright gold;
they can’t be bartered, bought, or sold.
I value most what’s yet to be;
a place in Heaven waits for me. 
I’m grateful I have love to share,
for time is fleet, I’m well aware.

MESSAGE TO GHANAIANS

Ghanaians are beating 
The drum of shame
For Nigerians 
Which they will later dance to
Calling Nigerians in Ghana 
All sorts of names, due to some misunderstanding
Now they're promoting hate just because of mistakes.

Ghanaians are on the street 
Creating scenarios 
Nigerians the villains
Forgetting they triggered it
Forgetting what their Ghanaians 
Are doing to Nigerians as well
No country without

The Greatest Strength of the Heart

gentle people know what to say ~ tender ones know when not to say it

Your greatest strength

In your heart a candle burns,
help its light to grow
See how all darkness fades,
enabling love to flow
Feel how your chest comes to rest,
how inner warmth appears,
like a kind warm embrace 
soothing all pain and tears

In this warmth your inner light 
brightens and glows,
burning away harsh edges 
so what no longer serves clears out
This reveals you

Greatest Love Story

It took many years for me to love me 
For rich or for poor the body keeps the score.

Society is always on the go no time to be still, 
no time to chill, we are expected to go with the flow
To be authentic, eccentric quirky, society resents this
 to be different in society’s eyes is

Monocrostic (Birthday of Wilma P. Nacinopa)

The greatest of gifts

Sat alone again, sipping a few 
The old whiskey jar
It's as empty as you
Now you're gone I can see 
All that you did
Just one more day
To be your friend

They say to live
Each day as your last
The reality is
We're all tied to a mast
Don't dream away 
These ideas that you have
Because the moment is now
Just remember

Your Greatest Victory

Your greatest victory
Was my worst defeat

When you walked the high road
I stumbled down the low road

When you gained it all
I truly lost everything

You became whole
And I slowly fell to pieces

You have nothing but time
But time for me has frozen

I was just a small chapter to you
But to me you're several novels

You filled my days with

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy

Jimmy put the mighty back in Blighty

Our riper sniper

Viper and pied piper

Didn't want to budge

Depravity of sporting gravity


But given the nudge

So off he did trudge

Issue won't fudge

Still got a grudge


The king of swing..conker on a string

Chestnuts curve...swerve with such verve

You rarely see him hobble our wizard of wobble


Still wiry and fiery...fit as a fiddle so

The Greatest American Generation

They came with dust on their boots and a morning star,
Shadows of boyhood still clinging to their shoulders—
They were sons of the land, faces bright with the dew,
Carrying small, cherished photographs in their breast pockets.

They rose with the sun’s trumpet call at dawn,
A summons to arms, to fear, to death—
Yet they did not tremble,
They carried

Jasprit Boom Boom Hurrah

Camera zoom...Boom - Boom shakes the room


All eyes on the prize

Rise & lies of franchise

Moolah the crueler ruler

Sparking doom and gloom

Marking Test cricket’s demise


If there is a golden ticket 

Doing his bit to save it

King of swing..ping and kerching


Another out of orbit gambit

Harder to decipher than sanskrit

Sure fire hit…well it has to be Jasprit


Vortex vex…whippier…that

In the silence that sings among the shadows of thoughts, they asked me what my greatest wish was

In the silence that sings among the shadows of thoughts, they asked me what my greatest wish was,
And I answered without blinking, to never fit into foreign molds,
To step into rooms without bending my soul to match their contours,
To move freely, unbound by mirrors reflecting only what others want to see,
To be like the moon,

To My Children The Greatest Lie in Life Someone is Better Than You

Don't pay attention to what others say or do.
Focus your thoughts on the Creator of you.
We are all one of His fingerprints, not one is the same.
Everyone's still a loser, without God in the game.
Not a soul God created is better than you.
Whatever one person has, all can have the same too!
God's word says "WE'RE

The Greatest Circus Clown

He shuffled in.  He wore a frown.
This lone stranger was new in town, 
but his teeth were straight, and his aim was true, 
and he had a hole in his head that birds went through,
and I would put all my money down,
that, everywhere, the world around,
he'll be the greatest circus clown.

Greatest Fear

I have a confession to make.
I don't know the first thing about poetry.
I don't know about the rules
The rhymes
The euphony
That add to its glory,
Its beauty.
I don't understand each category
That determines where each
Beautiful body of voice belongs,
Bracketing each expression of speech
Into a home.
I wonder where this one fits in.
Will it be accepted by its kin?
Or a
