Rev.Bola Animashaun Poem
Faith is love taking
The form of aspiration.
While Trust is
The witnessing of
Its intended manifestation.
For a gallant spirit
There can never be defeat.
When the battle is tough
The victory is often sweet.
Give light
And people will
Find the way.
Illumination like the sun
Transforms the night
To day.
God always
Gives His best
To those who leave
The choice with him.
It's hard to
Pass the test
Without Him
On the team.
God sleeps
In the minerals,
Awakens in plants,
Walks in animals,
And thinks in man.
Therein lies the
Magnificense Of His
Awesome, divine plan.

Rev.Bola Animashaun Poem
What the world
Thinks a woman is?
That's her 'reputation'.
Sadly,
It's often based
On false accusation,
Prejudice and supposition.
Upon further investigation
What's been found,
She really is?
That's her 'character'.
For its her heart's
Attunement and intention,
That truly matter.
(Hence, the question.)
At any rate
Though it is fate,
Which presents
Her circumstances,
Love still requires
That a woman
Take her chances,
To determine her character.
In that way
The seeds of
Her wisdom will scatter.
If here and now
She were to somehow,
Receive an unexpected
And sudden impact,
How would she react?
How would she respond?
If the truth be known,
Character is a diamond
That scratches a little,
Every other stone.
Yet never
Has there been
A magic wand,
Rock or crystal
More powerful
Than a woman's
Strong backbone.
We each need
A mind and will
Of our own,
To fulfill.
Character
Is a victory,
Not a gift.
Underneath the mystery
Lies the lesson
To uplift.
Character,
As a kettle
Once mended,
Always requires repairs.
Sin,
As a bad habit
Once transcended,
Always requires prayers.
Like the story goes,
A person shows
What she is;
By what she does
With what she has,
Not by whom
She knows.
Self-determinism
Is fine but needs
To be tempered
With self-control.
Misfortune will
Usually decline wherever
Soul recognition
Becomes
The ultimate goal.
