The Day God Called You Home

God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.

 

He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

 

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

 

He saw that the road was getting rough.
And the hills are hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered “Peace be thine''
 

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
That day that God called you home

I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
So I wrote your name in my heart,
and that’s where it will stay, always”
“Life is a journey.
Death is the continuation of the journey.
Heaven is a temporary rest.
For the commencement and fulfillment
Of a new life, a new hope
And a new promise”

Hard Work Beats Talent

The hard work in the room is always goes to beat the talent guy, who doesn't work hard .!
In the end maybe not every time, but in the end HARD WORK WINS..!

Talent doesn't guarantee you anything in this world..!
The world is riddled with ''smart''  people  who have never achieved anything of significance..!

This world is full of talent individuals that never made it..!
This world is full of expensively educated kids that are outperformed by high school dropout,
TALENT won't get you anywhere  '' IF YOU HAVE NO HEART..!”
                                                        '' IF YO  HAVE NO GUTS''
The one who is HUNGRIER to reach the top will always get there before the talent guy..!
Maybe not IMMEDIATELY but in the end

HUNGRY ALWAYS WINS..!
In the end  HARD WORK ALWAYS WINS..!
In the end  HEARTS WINS..! 
                  COURAGE WINS
In the end, the one who is more dedicated to reach the top will win..!

HARD WORK ALWAYS BEATS TALENT when talents he is too good to work hard ..!

Talent can be a BLESSING but it can   also  be a CURSE
 It can make you think  you don't need to work as  the other guy..!
And that is the mistake my friend because the other guy is HUNGRY

HE IS HUNTING YOUR ASS DOWN..!

READ TO FIGHT..!
FIGHT FOR EVERYTHING
FIGHT FOR HIS FAMILY
FIGHT FOR HIS LEGACY
FIGHT FOR EVERYTHING

While you rest '' I WILL WORK''
                        '' I WILL PLAN''
                        '' I WILL VISUALIZE''
                        '' I WILL BELIEVE''
                        '' I WILL STRIKE''
                        '' I WILL NOT STOP''
                       ''' I WILL NOT REST''
                       '' I WILL FIND AWAY''
If the is no way I will make my own path, because your talent doesn't scare me ..!
IT DRIVES ME 
HARD WORK NEVER LIES
MY DREAM NEVER DIES
Most people give up in life because they come up with all sorts of excuses, why they can't make it .
They didn't get  the right education .
They aren't talented as other guy, They don't have the money.

LISTEN: EXCUSES are for the WEAK

It wouldn't take you long to find a MASSIVE SUCCESS story, Who came from little education .
No talent , but a RELENTLESS DESIRE TO SUCCEED..!
This world is full of stories of GREATNESS from nothing .

IT IS NEVER TOO LATER FOR YOU TO START YOUR OWN STORY
Every setback , Every Failure has formed part of your story..
Don't let anything stop you from writing the rest of it.
YOU ARE HUNGRY
YOU WILL MAKE IT
DON'T BACK DOWN
WIN AT ALL COSTS

The Child Was Born In Winter

The child was born in winter...!
Her mother, so stone-hearted..!
Wrapped him in plastic...!
And squeezed, squeezed...!
Just like this...!
She wanted to drop him into apit toilet...!
Of greeen flies / human excrement..!
A dog barked..!
How..?

Rural hospital too far...!

Birds mourned the death of a child..!
Not even hunter could catch the devious woman...!
She needed no help in delivering the baby..!
Brave wicked woman..!
So early in the morning..!
The sun was shining..!
Unashemed..!
Mission accomplished..!
No one saw he bulging tummy..!
I only saw blood dripping from her legs..!
As she prepared food in the kitchen..!
A dog barked..!
It carried a plastic bag..!
In the mouth...!
How..?

My hair rose..!
Spine shivered..!
This morning..!
The child was born in winter...!

Goodbye

Goodbye

Things come into our lives,
Friend come into our lives,
Fake friends come into our lives
Some even disappear without GOODBYE

Though there is no Good in Goodbye
It's also painful being left without Goodbye
There is a good sound in Good night
There is a good sound in Good morning
But there is no Good in Goodbye

I'm sorry I left your without Goodbye
I couldn't afford to hurt your
I was between a rock and hard surface
I choose to disappear
Before the breakup could appear

I'm sorry is just word to you
But the meaning is a Novel to me
I was caught between a rock and hard surface
It was above board

It was good to be with you on daily basis
You were indeed playing with full duck
Love is what you contribute in our relationship
I couldn't afford to say Goodbye
There is no Good in Goodbye

Either Way, It Still Hurts

t’s no easier when you’re older,
and no simpler when you’re young.
Neither one is particularly comforting
over the other – the questions
are the same size.
Empty spaces have no shelf life,
no sell-by date or deadline, just this
one-size-fits-all sensibility…
There’s no ‘right age’, 
no countdown to expiration.
Time spent is precious.
‘Fully lived’ is an illusion.
Option D – none of the above;
either way it still hurts.
Don’t you dare tell me
it’s part of the plan
I’m failing to see.
Wish someone would
shut my eyes.

My Final Masterpiece

When I die, don't let me lie
in some godforsaken hole
dotted round with frosted stones;
arrange for me an alibi –

through the purifying fire
let love guide my spirit home.
Then stir my ash in coloured paint,
remembering how I loved the stains

colouring my hands and knees.
Then load me in a cannon, please –
prime a canvas, four by six
and fire the paint-and-ashes mix.

So may my final masterpiece
portray my ultimate release,
not to be misunderstood –
my heart's creation will be good.

This Heart Beats For You Alone

Although I'm little distant, I love you on this day
Because I love you more than I did yesterday
Come lay with me on today
Don't hesitate let's have fun and play
Each moment with you is spring time in
May
Follow your heart, and let it have it's say
Give me all of you, that is the only way
Handle my heart with care,I'll never stray
I want to be with you forever and always
Join me on this lovely and romantic sleigh
Keep our romance fun, let's roll in the hay
Let's be together until we're old and gray
My heart and soul is yours, and will forever
stay
New beginnings are always at bay
On this day I want to be your wife don't delay
Please say yes, we'll get married in Hawaii I'll
wear a lai
Quit thinking about all we have on our tray
Rest assured I'm ready to throw all negativity
away
Sorry I brought all this up on your birthday
Trust in God he is the potter we're the clay
Understand we can't do this halfway
Venturing out of our  comfort zone will cause us to
be giddy and gay
With you I will take you hand down life's
pathway
X-ray your heart so it could be on display
You are my whole world, I'm happy as a bluejay
Zestfulness is what you give me, is what
I'm trying to convey

It Is Love Not a Crush

The is a fine line between a crush and love ...!
and i hope you can feel it is love not a crush..!
At soon i got home ..!
i go straight to my computer..!
and look a your away massage's..!
Hoping some how you will confess you love for
me..!
every love song make's me cry..!
because every love song remind me of you..!
love is like playing a piano ..!
first you must play by the rules ..!
Then you forget the rules..!
Play from you heart..!
Some times i wonder if life is really worthy..!
Then i look at you smile..!
And i know it is..!
If you love some body..!
Set therm free..!
If they return ..!
They ware always you's..!
If they don't they never were..!
To the world you may one person ...!
But to one person you may be the world ..!
Some time's someone may say something small
that can felt to a big empty space to you heart
..!
If you love someone ..!
Don't put their name's in heart..!
But put therm in a circle..!
The heart can be broken..!
But the circle goes on for ever...!
If you can get someone out of you heart..!
Then may be they suppose to be there..!
You suppose to be there..!
my soul..!
my heart..!
and my mind..!
I believe in love..! like i believe in God..!
I believe in love..! like i believe in God..!
You can touch it..!
You can see it...!
But you can feel it..!

Honour the Legend Tribute To Nelson Mandela

A black African child born for the nation.
A star fallen from the sky to nourish the land.
When no man ever thought that peace could be maintained.
When hatred was a gold medal to all
and killing was a feast of lives tearing hearts apart.

He stood up and the bureaucrats stood still.
He said to them:
"Freedom is an ideal that I am prepared to die for."
There was isolation of emotions and silence of outrageousness.
He said again to the nation:
"Let them fight with swords and I will fight with Love and Peace."

They made him break rocks,
thinking they were breaking his spirit.
Little did they know they were preparing him for his Mission Statement "UNITY".

He took the wishes of the nation
and made them his commands.
He said that: if Freedom is worth fighting then let them be the wrecking ball
and I will be the building to break.

He said if a destination to peace takes million miles,
I will be the road and they will be my cars.
If love means spilling blood
then I will be the sacrifice.
And if words are nothing
then I will abide by their whims.

He endured hard labour and neglected treatment.
Years and years in the jungle searching for that golden fruit.
They thought that his eager will fade
but it grew stronger day-by-day.
They thought that they have burried his patience but didn't realise that it was a seed
and they were soil&water.

They made him suffer and he reversed the curse in their minds.
He took into the glowing side of the world.
They saw the light and Yes "FREEDOM WAS COMING TOMORROW."

He was finally let go.
The sun shone better,
the stars sparkled brighter
and the moon smiled upon South Africa.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
A man to remember
A legend
An icon
and a forever celebrity.
His efforts will forever reign in our veins.
