Life Chose Me
Here I am
Minding my own business
Here comes life
Oh, so seductive
Life wants me
Next thing I know-
I’m alive
Alive is not bad
Alive is good
Sometimes though
Alive ain’t all its cracked up to be
Then
I want to let go of life
But
Life won’t let me be
You see,
Life chose me.
For whatever purpose
Life leads me
Till my work here is done
Then, life, my old buddy and I
Will part ways
For whatever reason
Life chose me
The poem simply means that none of us have the option of choosing to be born or not. For good or bad, here we are. While we may not have a hand in the circumstances surrounding our birth, we can really try to make our lives count.

Everyday |

Everyday of my life, I find something to be thankful for. Life may not always be a bed of roses, but if you look closely enough, there is for the most part, always a gem hidden away in the grime.
Evidence of this is all around. You can’t watch the news or read the papers these days without something really making you wonder at the seeming futility of life. In the papers, a woman who lost her two legs in an accident is seeking for financial assistance, so she can travel to Germany to have artificial limbs, or prosthetics fitted, just so she can have the semblance of a normal life.
An infant, less than three months old, who is abandoned in a refuse dump - discarded like she was so much rubbish, is found by a pig which eats part of her scalp, before someone sees the gory sight and chases the pig away. Now, money is needed for her to get skin grafts to cover the patch on her head. It is most horrible, but it does tend to put things in perspective, make you understand that no matter what, there is always something to be thankful for. Also, usually, things like this tend to bring out the good in people, and kind of restore ones faith in the human race.
Oh, to have all the money I could ever want, these are the kind of people I would really love to assist- on the down low.
Like I always say, it’s not what you acquire - you cannot take it with you, rather, it’s the blessings you leave, through the lives you have touched.
Go out and touch someone’s life today.

Poem For The Day
Love Is...
A spring that wells from
Deep within my soul
Its pure, your joy is
My very main goal
Love is the tear that
I cry when I’m with
You, of happiness
True, it’s no myth
Love sees you clearly…
And loves you anyway
I had a couple of interviews this week, on the subject of my book. I had the great honor of meeting one very great lady. She runs an organization called Media Mentors, and basically, what they do is to encourage people who want to make an impact in various spheres of endeavor to believe in themselves, and to celebrate these people. It was on the platform of Media Mentors that I got the interviews.
This is precisely the sort of thing I would love to do myself, because, I know for a fact that there is no greater joy than that which comes from giving selflessly to others. There is no greater investment than storing riches in people, because, it propagates itself.
I guess all it goes to show is that God still uses people to bless other people.
I hope you touch someone’s life in some wonderful way, today.

NO COMPETITION
At my pace
I’m in no rush
If it’s meant to be…
At my pace
I look at none
Whenever I wake up
Why, that’s my morning
In my own time
External factors
Don’t Move Me
My inner rhythm
Beats its own beat
As does yours
You dance to yours
I’ll dance to mine
No competition
Only Gods face
Will I seek
If it’s meant to be…
Indeed, life is not a race. Those who choose to view it differently only end up hurting themselves needlessly. We all came to the world basically pre-packaged with an agenda, the trick is to find out what that plan is, and embrace it. Truly, whatever will be, will be. Some call it fate, some call it destiny, but, whatever you choose to call it, the effect is still the same. The word of God says “the race is not to the swift, neither is the battle to the strong, time and chance happens to them all”
On that note, I’d like to say, do your very best, and leave the rest to God, trust me, he knows the beginning from the end.

The dreamer |

What would life be without hope, without a vision, something that acts as a life vest and beacon in life’s turbulent seas? A panic room where we can go to regain our calm and perspective when our peace of mind is under the laser sights of adversity?
I’m sure you would much rather really live than just coast - that is simply no life at all. And what better way to live than to give, the satisfaction that comes from knowing you gave life your best shot?
I’ve been accused by people who should know better of being a dreamer, of wanting too much out of life. Well, guess what, if beautiful things like my book right here are the fruits of dreaming, then, you can be sure there’s a truckload of fruit to be harvested in my future.Besides, wasn’t the world as we know it today built by dreamers? If I had allowed all the nay-sayers to rain on my parade, what would I have gained?
Anyway, I’d rather aim for the stars, and if I land on Saturn (I rather like those beautiful rings!) then, that’s not bad at all.
This book is only a tiny drop in the vast ocean of my dreams. By the grace of God, there’s so much more where this one came from, I’ll surely keep you posted.
I’m so glad you took the time to check out my author’s website I’ll be updating my blogs regularly so, drop in anytime - the surf is always good here!.
God bless you, and may your dreams take wing and fly!!!
Poem for the day
I really, really
I’m vindicated.
My persistence, my patience
O! My endurance
Justify the fate
I’ve created for me.
If this is, the only thing
I ever do.
My life,
Has not been in vain.
I’m glad to say,
If you knew me then
Way back when
Take a good look now
And tell me, oh tell me,
If I don’t clean up well.
A bulging heart
A bulging life
Tons of grace
A smattering of
Divine providence
-hallelujah! My, my
I really, really
Clean up well.
