Dont Let Mom

dont let maama work to hard
as to many blessings will be lost,
even though sometimes you will be apart
she will  never leave you apart .

her smile the sunshine of my dreams
her voice the lightt of my darkness .
her laughter the trance of total peace
her arms the center of my being
her heart the cradel of my soul

as mamma carried and cared all for love .
to see a beacon 0f hope out of pain.
and fill a void of yesterdays dreams
give her all your love and strenght

for tm your dream will be approved
with the blessings she bestowed
to grow in wisdom and always serve

Naomis Passage

Naomi"s passage  

As we pass through lives journey filled with obstacles
Along the way a light will shine    
Awakening a  hope of happiness
As out lives is a canvass of purest wishes for the future.


Only as time goes by our picture that"s created
is our moods and blues, and you the reason for loving 
As the canvass fill"s up with the picture of your perfect smile

If ever i was looking for a love of endless seas.
And found it in a heart as pure and content from above.
I know a value cannot be found for your love and laughter 
echoed throughout our darkest hours

With you as my anchor,knowing is from heavens portal,
And not  erasing anything from yesterday 
knowing that's the reason
we have a masterpiece of priceless love

My Dad

thats my dad

 rat a tat ,rat a tat tat
  let me tel u about my dad
yes hes the coolest dad in the world

we are going on a trip
yes all the boys and dad
who is this man sitting next to dad ?
why is dad holding his hand ?

tap,tap do u know your dad ?
why is mom always so sad ?
and dad always acting a bit mad ?
must be that we are always bad

why is dad not with mom anymore ,
and always holding another mans hand 
why is dad not with mom anymore 
must be he found a new friend

rat a tat tat ,rat a tat tat 
Then we ask mom why he is always with another man
Im gay he would finally say.
He is not the coolest dad, 
but all i can say is that he thaught us to pray and have faith 
and let God lead the way

Unending Love

love?



Love is a door not always open to u alone
as the heart allows others to enter
love is pure but not as sunlight
as the scorching heat can be unkind
love is a smile but not always radiant
as a scowl or a frown reminds the heart not to roam
love is a blessing or a curse if not accepted or retuned

love s not only you and me
as the world is not a empty space
love is us and them then it will not leave a bitter taste
as the greattes lover was taken above,
to teach us to embrace a selfless life
And love our neighbours as oneself 

we belong not to you or me but to the master from on high

The Flow of Words

flow of words

words flow,creating a vision in the mind 
creating a flow of words
Poet's and,writers have one thing in mind
to create a visual coming from mere words 

ink on paper opens the minds eye
whereby one fly without wings,
being in a palace,where as reality
a candle for light and a sponge for sleeping 
create,visualize let the pen be your inner voice 
that brings your dreams to your doorstep.

let your stain on paper be a visual of hope
and manifest your dreams that lies 
dormant in your soul.
to be aware of your inner voice and  
jump to guide your being to that 
realm is where you will find  your door of happiness.

draw your lines .aline yourself, 
create the ultimate masterpiece,
not for worldly approval 
but for contentment of  one mind,
creating a world where one"s life does not fade

the ultimate prize ,knowing your world 
has been seen through just the flow of words

Africas Cries and Distant Hands

africa cries

when as a boy my dream was taken away
of africas land filled with mysterious dark forest ,
beautiful mountain's and blue oceans 
where the lands fed its people one and all

now as a man africa has transformed into bloodshed 
, filled with greed and fear. 
Its enemy  its own people robbing the weak  and poor 
africa your tears must dry
be weary of your leaders whom
belief the ignorance of the masses
gives them the right to murder and rob the weak.
 africa stand up
africa dry your tears
choose not  to live in poverty,
deny  your wealthy to be robed.
africa let the hunger, fear and bloodshed
 of yesterday not be in vain,
stand up, fight for tomorrow ,to live
as you should , proud ,free ,strong as a African should

   distant hands

we walking a road of uneasiness
taking a path already walked
stumblig with pride and fearlessness
knowing whats said has already been told

fear not for the fight has never ended
it must be fought with zeal and might
with us to defend the just and weak
as hand of yesterday take us to tms place
filling us with pride knowing
ur are watching from above

your silent sacrifices
your loud cheers and tears 
is the beacon of light,
a guide for todays fight
yes you still our hope
as hands of yesterday
comming from heavens doors
to guide us to a blissfull end

Life and Dreams

When the echos of distress resound 
let it be assured that u are then one
that need to except or reject.
If you cannot see then let it be revealed 
in your dreams and your heart will open
and not be in vain.
Stay on the path as its all that will
keep you sain as Tm you will know
that your dreams will become reality
without the burdens that was not yours to fend.
The commitment to this path will ease 
even the heaviest burden and not 
transcend onto our world . 
Our love will always be there not to drag 
us into their worlds as foreseen In 
the road of yesterday which opens 
up our doors and see their world 
of lust a greed not just for pleasures 
but for contentment in their choices . 
As envious hearts and their greed 
was not our choices to-be made 
but their hearts already spoken out of greed .
so take my hand as life and love is
not for fools whom is not sure
but for those whom choose to walk in faith 
without yesterdays burdens 
so be sure of blissful dreams and
visions of hope for today our life’s
will be in realms of one accord.

Open Up

open up to his glory

when the darkness blinds your road
when there are troubles along the way
his the light of eternal hope
don’t deny him the glory

open up your heart to his love
open up your soul to his glory
open up arms to his blessings
open up your eyes to his light

as his love is so bright
all darkness flee when it shines
even death in its doom 
He overshadowed with hope.

providing a light of eternal hope
as victor over Satan whom hide behind a sinful death
a realm now of hope as Jesus has the master key to unlock it s doors

open up to his glory
for a believer his love has no boundaries
even for the ones that denied him his love has no end

The Fools Call

The wine of life is dry when tasted, drink not a filled cup without knowing it's never sweet, expect that you will be drunk and the taste will entice you, known its odor will surly blind u drunkenness also comes from denying yourself freedom. know that life's journey has many travelers  wanting to fill full their quest, let their road not erase your path and be left on a road not of your desire

When Dawn Erupts

When dawn erupts twas not to flee from darkness
Or evade the night,
but was needed to light 
the darkest dreams that feared to past.
Laughter is meant to ease your pain, 
and-tears to dry the souls-misunderstandings.
Some  will call  it guile, forget their plight 
as thy chose to be on that flight.
So choose to-lift your wary soul to-fight 
from evil pranks that was only  intended
to see you give your health and wealth.
Know it was not your plight to fight their war.
So choose to stand and fight your battle
without their hand that holds you down 
Pick up your soul and don’t look back
Cling to the one that does not
take you to lose your soul .
Be proud when you walk away,
as our love will be the light
that shine even on our darkest hours  .
