A Story of Santosh that was entangled in grief
It was just another day, he thought
He stepped out of the house with his family to return
Unaware of the danger awaiting at the accident spot
He and his wife, children went out jolly, talking about
They got onto the bike and went for a ride as usual
Oh, Santosh, if at all you knew
Your day ends in a dreadful growl
You are broken and bleeding, growling on the side of the road
Wounded, wondered who would save his loving family lying a distance away
His wife watches from afar helplessly, two kids and her husband mourning uncontrolled
Oh, that dreadful day, will they ever forget the misery life has thrown
The death of his only budding toddler, struggling to breathe and left the world reeling
If at all, he knows the danger ahead.
His family would be living safely and securely
Santosh had to pass this day and face the pain as long as he is alive
God allowed this, and they have to let go; their sorrows and pain
Which seems to be healed but remains fresh in life, displeased
Life gives joy and sorrows; smile in your good days and cry when no one sees
Sometimes they may appear,
As though they have thick skin,
But little do we really know,
All the demons they fight within.
They constantly try so hard,
Not to let their family down,
So they hide away their truth,
And try straighten up their crown.
When it never rains only pours,
The days are long and cold,
No matter what may happen,
They don't give in and fold.
Persistently trying to provide,
Weighing them down with stress,
Doing what they can to protect,
Even when life feels like a mess.
Just a fraction of the worries,
Tormenting them through until sunrise,
Hidden and securely locked away,
Deep behind a man's eyes.

Reputation building, can quite often, take years.
But by one rattling tongue it is often destroyed.
Seemingly, reputations are most often ruined,
by the very person that you thought trustworthy.
So be extra careful in whom you place your trust,
when another person knows, secrets don't exist.
So the closet where your skeletons hang today,
should be securely locked, you having the key.
God has done a great work
when He provided my identity
this identity is God-given freely
making my position so heavenly
This identity is firmly in Christ
having the presence indeed of God
securely feeling so very fixed
showing traits of a godly chord
Jesus Christ is my true identity
having purchased my salvation
on Calvary's cross this He did
so this accomplished my redemption
Having received this Jesus as my Lord
He having saved me from the threat of hell
gives me a blessed assurance deep within
so I give my life to Lord Jesus with a capital L
Blessed be my Lord Jesus, I dearly love
for He has loved me with love eternal
this love never ends even to my final day
thanks be to this Christ I daily pray
The incubator of my life
Who shines more than the twinkling stars and blazing moon
In the Africa twilight;
And glitters more than precious gold's and diamond's of Africa
I see you!
Mama,
Whose dimples, from where I scoop animation;
Are deeper than the sweet well of Gerar;
The seasoned yellow corn that fills the mouth
I see you!
Shine shine Mama,
My reliable and relentless life support
On whose impenetrable wings I sailed securely in my youth,
Regardless of the distance, traversing life
I see you!
Mama,
Whose unquenching love encompasses all;
The non defaulting mechanism of my locomotive,
Wiser than oracle's of Africa;
I see you!
Mama,
Whose heart is larger than Olumo Rock;
Hands taller and larger than sacred idanre hills;
Who traverses and watches over Africa like a Colossus
Mama of all mothers,
I greet you!

Dear Father
As I slip my heart softly into your broken body I take hold of my soul. Pressing it securely against the presence of your cedar cross. Putting all my faith in your Sacred pierced hands I stand in awe of you and all you sacrificed for me.
All I ask of you is that you place your Holy Will in me. That through you and in you, I may be released from all afflictions both mental and physical. Honoring you in me I can finally settle into that long awaited peace. Journeying with you, to that long awaited place we often elude to as heaven.
Dear Daughter
You have lit the path of communion in me and clothed me with your prayers of love and Union- Grace. It is here that I offer you the linen cloth of my great love. Live abundantly in me as I live abundantly in you.
In the presence of my Spirit you have journeyed forth. Bearing on forgiveness and compassion, you have harvested my Blessed Crops and yielded good wheat. I love you daughter for you are my heart and I am yours. Forever and until the end of time.
Your Mystic Rose
A single raindrop
kissed my cheek,
and you tucked me beneath
your jacket canopy
before the message reached my sensors.
You sought to be my guard from harm
and elements alike,
shielding me like precious, carried cargo.
Stars spun from my eyes
and danced like twinkling fairies,
and I thought this must be
love.
Safe, in the bubble you kept me,
where it was easy-
until it wasn't.
My backward shotgun ride,
securely hinged to your pickup.
Your shield of well-intended,
false protection,
weighing me down.
And I'll die trying
to rise again, to walk away
from rain.
S kiing on this snowy peak over the icy stretches is a real tes T,
K eeping legs on the skis securely firm and standing hig H.
I tching to experience the adventure of my endeavou R,
I go down hills in rising vigor, never losing grip, shouting ‘h I’
N ot shaken by the steep landing with wind giving me a chilling fee L,
G aily I speed down the icy slopes in triumphant thril L.
Under the sheets lies abundance of dreams
Tucked away safely to visit each night
Laden in comfort, so warm and aware
Waiting for just the right time to sleep tight
Under the sheets where the world can be safe
Many a monster defenseless to see
Where we have hidden, escaped from the world
Waiting for sunlight again to be free
Under the sheets lies abundance of gas
Passed in the night, held securely inside
Waiting and hoping for time to erase
Lest, you know who, will think someone has died
Many things happen while under the sheets
Some we can talk about, some we should not
Still, it’s a marvelous place to reside
Satin or flannel, whatever you’ve got!

Go now! Get a title down

Our Most Holy Lord
— glorious, omnipotent, eternal ——

Ever-Present
God
weaving our lives together…
securely knotting the threads
and
as our prayers rise…
His quick blessings quenching
rain

Thanks be to God
When I'm lost and alone, there's a place I can go
Where my derelict condition just does not show
Like a security blanket, or warm woolly throw
Comforted securely when wild Winter winds blow.
When I'm too far from welcome, there's a place I reside
Refuge here from the yearning, I have no need to hide.
It's peaceful and hopeful, a colourful space
With a welcoming atmosphere my heart can embrace.
Not somewhere external, but a place deep inside
Always within me, though I wander far and wide
A magnetic pull so my soul knows it's place
A path leading home for my footsteps to trace.
He is here with us
Always
protecting,
providing peace
year round.
Validating His
Amazing
Love
Encouraging us,
nurturing our hearts.
Thankful for His
Immeasurable
nestling,
embracing us
securely.
Desiring that
All
Yearn to live for HIM!!!
Break Free (original).
I decline to be bathed in abject defeat, I intend to break free.
My endeavour isn’t dead, intellect serves as a panacea for me
My muse and I must find impassioned advocacy to meet.
I intend to break free, I decline to be bathed in abject defeat.
The solution I submit, it will be extraordinary and unconventional.
A dramatic escape from all restrictions unintentional.
Break Free Opposing.
I adore to be bathed in glorious acclaim, I intend to indulge.
I feel so securely alive, my brain can’t divulge.
My muse and I cannot agree and will only cause deceit.
I intend to remain, I am going to accept hideous conceit.
There’s no solution, it will be mundane and true to convention.
A sorrowful surrender to all chains and detention.
