COME TICKLE MY SOUL
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I behold your face,Divine one,
Come in all your glory.
Come gently,like the wind
Rushing into my being,
Infusing it with
your wondrous power.
Come like the sun
In all it's splendour,
Warming and caressing my heart.
With grandeur and ecstatic bliss,
Holy Spirit divine
shine forth in me.
Come like a gentle rain,
With tenderness,
Cleanse me of all
impurities of mind and body,
Heal and make me whole.
Come tickle my soul.
Come with compassion,
Come with your Joyful tenderness,
Your sensitivity and warmth.
Come fill my being with your light,
your life and your love.

MISQUOTED
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I Was put in an
undignified position,
that made me feel  
as a used ***** rag,
left in a corner to be
picked up again to be reused.
I felt insulted by that act,
caused by a misunderstanding
of my intent.
But that is a painfully disjointed
and misquoted figment
of a nonsensical utterance,
I guess I'll take a long walk
now in a different direction.

BUT I WONDER
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
They have never been here for me
when I needed help,
like I was for them.
But I wondered,
as I watched,listened and waited.
How will it be on that day
on my long absence,
when that day comes
when I pass on,
will everyone miss me,
Since they did not help me,
will they now show off their fortune
to celebrate my demise,
wear me the best clothes,
put my body in the best casket,
spend the money
they never shared with me,
to entertain my friends
they have never met,
cry over me as if they meant it.
I can't imagine how
it will be on that day.
I guess it will be lonely,
as I'm used to loneliness.
All I ever want is for them to
remember me as loving them.
All I ever want is for
them to understand
why I never complained
about anything or
how they have treated
me as if am an outcast,
an unnecessary annoyance,
yet they call me beloved,
friend,Dad,brother,uncle.,
Mum,Aunty,Sister.
My heart hurts so much,
but you'll never see my tears,
Yes,I took it all in,
I took the pain,
I took the shame,
I took the blame,
I guess it's all good,
it's alright and,
it is nothing...
I'll be fine.
But you know what I found out,
They truly didn't know me,because,
I am like a time capsule
that has never been open.

RUBY RED
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
My love echoes in silence.
Only in stillness and quiet
understanding can you feel it.
It calls you to come closer
And lay your head on my heart
where it glows,
With loves ruby red on;
My heart calls you to come
forward and surrender.
To you it is due.
Come beloved,
I am waiting for you.

GREATER IS HE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Blessed are the
hearts that can bend,
They shall never be broken.
But I wonder,
if there's no breaking then
There's no healing,
and if there's no healing,
There's no learning,
and if there's no learning,
Then there's no struggle,
but struggle is a part of life,
So must all hearts be broken.
But then,
my heart is already broken.
You can't brake it ever again,nah!!!,
no one can!!
Because now it is more beautiful
for having been broken,
healed and restored,
regenerated and rejuvenated,
fortified and strengthened
by the love of God
shed abroad in my heart,
For greater is He
that lives and dwells
Inside it now and
Forever.

THE BALANCE WITHIN
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
In the macrocosm
and microcosmic world,
There are diversities;
changing and balancing everything,
Above and below,
visible and invisible,
animate and inanimate things.
Beneath the differences of different
diversities are always
oneness of nature,
With the breath within the breath,
that balances and centres them.
So it is with human-
When you find that
balance that centres you,
There is always love,
peace,serenity,Joy and harmony.
Thrive always to find that balance.
That is the secret of inner beauty.

PRESENT MOMENT
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
When we are spiritually evolved,
some aspects of ourselves dies.
Our highest good
then emerge as we
release what no longer
has value to serve us,
vacuum is then created
for the best in us to manifest.
In that present moment,
the reality which we created
or experienced  is painful
but it does not last.
We bring In the new,
so the old can now go.
At this point,
we must yield ourselves
to the eternal realities.
We must completely
trust the Great Spirit
and stay focus in his leading.
Our inner man will be
strengthened with might
and our heart blessed
with his divine love
and we know that something
extraordinarily supernatural  
has happened inside us
to enrich our spirit.
We can now go forth in this might
as we carry his presence to affect our world

DWELLER OF THE INVISIBLE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
For I know that my redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the later
day upon the earth.
I am the way,
the truth and the life,
no man cometh onto the father but by me.
I am purified,
I have passed through
the gates of darkness unto light.
I have fought upon earth for good,
I have finished my work,
I have entered the invisible.
I am the sun in his rising.
I have passed through
the hour of cloud and of night.
I am Spirit,
the concealed one,
the justified one.
I am The Lord of life triumphant over death,
there's no part of me that is not of God.
I am the preparer of the way,
the rescuer into the light.
Out of the darkness let that light arise.
Before I was blind but now I see.
I am the reconciler with the ineffable.
I am the dweller of the invisible.
Let the white brilliance of
the Divine Spirit descend.

SONGS OF THE STARS
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
There is in
the Heavenly realm
a place for you.
Come share with
me this mystery.
Endeavour to attune
yourself
everyday to
this mansion of the soul.
Let your soul
be bathed with
the beautiful,
Harmonious
rhythmic orchestrated
symphonic music
from this sphere.
It's  rhythm is
loveable and intimate.
In Joy and sorrow you will
find it forever uplifting.
For once you
heard the mysterious
songs of the stars,
you are no longer
a prisoner of the earth.

NOT MY OWN
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
She loved me so dearly,
But my heart don't feel a thing for her,
For my heart belongs to another,
The one who couldn't love me.
Why is my heart still yearning
for this one who couldn't love me.
My heart is broken to pieces,
because I loved someone
I can never have.
I loved someone but
I couldn't win her heart,
her heart belongs to another.
This life is full of complexities,
I can't comprehend it.
The one I love I can't have,
She loved another.
The one who loves me I can't be with,
my heart belongs to Someone else.
The one that hurt me from the past,
I can't have or go back to the
place where my heart ran from,
They have all moved on
and I'm still here waiting for my own.
Where are you my beloved.
Come out from the veil that enshrouds you.
I am now fully ready and patiently waiting.

BELOVED
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I saw her for the first time,
as she steps out,
My heart skipped a bit
Like the very first
time I heard her voice.
There is something so familiar
about our meeting,
about her presence.
As if we have done that before-
a déjà vu.
She smiled and came up to
meet me and my heart raced.
She is truly beautiful,
heavens gift with
an alluring beauty so striking,
Passionately exquisite,
stolen as it were from an Angel.
Everything about her is beautiful.
She is splendour of her kind,
A gift of heaven to me.
My heart calls you to come forward
and surrender,
this love is my
garland of flowers for you.
Now come beloved,
With grandeur,
make my heart your dwelling place.

I definitely desire to know you,
Can you please appear
from behind the veil,
You are no more a secret.
This heart wants to know you,
I love the way you make me feel,
Funny, fulfilled and loved.
Come beloved, Come to me.
I can see your shadow
laying in the moon light
I can feel your heartbeat
playing at my right side.
Hopelessly,
I'll love you endlessly.

KILLING MUST STOP
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I wonder why man is trying so
hard to make himself extinct.
And it was not like this before,
or was it like this,
how can we make it stop.
As I remembered those days
in our beautiful world,
it was so peaceful.
How did we come to this point,
Where people can no
longer voice their opinions,
Or be the leftist or rightist,
love their life's  or live in peace.
It seems as if they like
to see RED all the time,
As If Bloodshed will solve
or end their pathetic
emotionally wrecked,
soulful suffering,physical
and psychological problems.
This killing must stop,
It is unnecessary
and it doesn't solve anything.
Brothers must talk to brothers.
Dialogue is now necessary
without it destruction is all you'll find.
What is the victory amidst ruins and ashes?.

She found me,
Yes She did.
I called out to her,

And now
I don't want to go
Anywhere.
I know I am home.

Am so stock on you
Like glue,
Clinging on you,
As if I want to fall,
but I am reassured,
by your love,
you possess this heart,
as your very own.
My heart is at rest.

I hear the drums of
your heart,
beating!,beating!!,beating!!!
calling out to me.
As it's melodic rhythm
vibrates  all over my being,
I know I am home.
She calls me Beloved.
And for the first time
In a long time,
I am Happy.

MOTHER BELOVED
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Haaaaaaa!!!
I awake suddenly to
see her looking at me,
Gazing intently watching me sleep,
Watching over me as an Angel would,
I smiled and went back to sleep,
Feeling secure and safe,
knowing that all is well.
My mother was here,
though she had passed beyond,
Her presence so intense and real,
Like days gone by,
I woke up still feeling her breath over me,
Yes,
I knew she's watching from
the world slightly beyond,
I am at peace because now
knowing that she's gone,
But didn't go anywhere,
She still watches from afar off.
My Mother.

THE ONE WHO SPEAKS WITHIN
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I am a Mystic with
a high sense of mission.
I am a Prophet
I am the Chosen one
I see far
I see near
My Prophetic utterances
are there to speak for itself
My inspiration, insights
and admonitions are
proofs of my calling.
l am not interested in
your mundane opinions,
for the one who
speaks within is greater.
Authority belongs to him,
he reigns in majesty,
Everything you ever
have belonged to Him.
He is the creator.
Now you can see where I stand.
Upon this mountain I stand,
Upon this mount of God I stand,
from this mountain I speak that
which cannot be uttered by mere mortals.
Now be still and listen for He speaks.

YES I SAW HER
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I saw her today,
Yes I saw her.
Adorable,she stands tall,
Smiling,her beauty so alluring,
Spectacle,captivating
and passionately exquisite.
My heart raced In embrace of her.
My soul magnetized
and pulled by her spirit.
My being resonates to her call.
I can hear her thoughts from afar,
whispering what I need to hear,
Calling from the deep to my soul.
I can only answer
to her call with a smile.
For she knows my soul,
yes she knows!!
I have found her
whom my soul do love.
As I open my arms,
she steps into my  open hands.
Our embrace so soft
and warm and just like
a chocolate she melts into
my arms where she belongs.
I'll love her endlessly.

I AM FREE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
In my soul I am free,
Free as the wind,
I watch the birds in flight,
I have watched the cloud move,
and I know I am also free.
There is freedom in the way
the grass and tree grows.
In the way nature express itself,
There is freedom.
Therefore,you cannot be fully saved
Until you are completely free.
I am free because I stand in liberty.
I found my freedom in that place
where I stand in my
Conscience;
therefore I Speak.
Liberty of conscience of men
are being threatened by those
Who in duty of their volition has violated
the most sacred Gift of God;
who has formed and called us into liberty.
Let us then come together in unity
and in one loud voice shout-
Freedom.

I STAND IN AWE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
The Spirit of The Lord is
Ministering through my life;
see through my eyes,
hear through my ears,
talk through my mouth,
feel through my Heart,
understand through my Spirit,
touch through my hands,
walk through my legs,
think through my mind,
love through my being,
yet beyond my comprehension.
Here,
I stand in awe because
my mortal understanding is not
yet sufficient to apprehend all
that permeates my being.
But in my weakness and folly
His banner over me is love.
I cherish His admonition
and counseling
He instructs with love,
diligence and patience.
His amazing Grace towards
me is beyond measure,
in that he honors me
with his benevolence
Wisdom and clear direction,
his hidden and dark secret
made lighter to my understanding.
My heart is so thankful.
I say Thank You Lord!!!

CROSSROAD
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
So much bitterness
in the heart of man
makes me wonder
if there is hope at all
for reconciliation
or to remedy
this bad situation
and challenges
trying to consume the masses.
I still wonder
if this looming menace
can be contained and diverted
or replaced by something
more meaningful.
This is a time for
sober reflection.
What do we really
gain in all of these?
Isn't there a better way,
there must be.
Now that their mind is made up,
have you thought about
the next step to take?
You need to make a
move to relocate now.
I've always told you
to be careful of what you seek
or you'll find hell.
Now you are at a crossroad.
What are you gonna do,
you tell me.

The velvet softness of your hand

You my dear,
are a soft sweet flowing
melody of a symphony orchestra,
a beautiful work of art,
unique and complex,
And it amazes me
how in your complexity
you are profoundly so simple.
You are etched in gold

I WONDER
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Everybody makes mistake,
I really don't know why my own
should be on your top priority list.
And I ask,
does my mistake in anyway
get in the way of your progress
or making a living.
I wonder why you
don't want to concentrate on
building your own life
as to make it better,
like I do with mine.
Why is something that
should be so easy so hard?
I've learned long ago to
stop beating myself up
over past mistakes.
I learn from them
and then get on with my life.
Do the same with yourself,
it will better your soul.

MY HIDDEN STRENGTH
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I may have a gentle touch
but I am not at all weak.
All my life,
people have been
messing with me
and I've kept quiet
because I choose to,
they misunderstand
my calmness for weakness
because they really didn't
see my hidden strength.
They prefer  that
I stay In the corner
while they take the center stage
to show off their foolishness,
they forget that it is
better to be a wise fool
than to be foolishly wise.
I know the signs of rainfall,
I also know what it is called,
I am definitely not an idiot
and because I choose to step out
into the rain without an umbrella
does not make me a fool,
I own one and believe me,
I know how to use it,
maybe I love the rain
and choose to get wet;
that means I can
wipe myself dry
and not catch cold.
Let that sink in.

THERE IS SUCH A MAN
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
You're an individual.
You're unique.
And it's important that you
create the space to
express your uniqueness,
and become the fully expressed,
fully unleashed,
fully unlimited vibrancy that you are.
There's a stage in a mans life
when he will keep
every other thing aside
and stand alone without fear
to confront whatever obstacle
that stand in his way,
even intimidation from
the most powerful
or care that beset him
and infest his life,
his inadequacies he will confront
and challenge them with boldness.
Even when the
demons of hell be invoked
and conjured up to come forth
and do their very worse,
he knows they shall not pass
and neither shall they prevail,
because he has been through a lot,
he doesn't really cared
anymore what happens to him,
he has come a long way
and he's here now,
that is  all that matters.
He speaks the truth
that only him can speak,
so profound and will so piercingly hurts
the ears of the guilty ones.
he will boldly stand on the edge
of the mountain top
and let the wind of life pass forcefully
through and over him.
he becomes a determined soul
who confronts the odds in his life,
with the help of the almighty,
he attains the consciousness of the cosmic,
his spirit is now so awakened,
he becomes one with universe,
so enlightened,
he is now an adept to
help in the down world,
carrier of the divine light,
protector of the weak,
full of vigor,
always ready,
a doer of the impossible,
he now becomes
the keeper of the flame,
his back bent from the rigours
of suffering and pain,
showing the marks of
the whiplash he received,
his brows so wrinkled with
inner wisdom that comes out of the
time spent in long hours
of fasting and meditations,
calm with the inner beauty of the spirit,
not intimidating or forceful,
he commands authority,
exacts influence and check anything
that's not edifying from
influencing his environment
and atmosphere he created for himself
and then allow others into his world
to experience the realm
of power bestowed on him,
he is indeed now,
a peculiar fellow,
a workman that needs not be afraid,
one set apart for good works,
for he has chosen the path of his destiny.
Yes,there is such a man amongst us.

I'M SO FULLY AWAKE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Fear or guilt,I really don't know
which one I'm dealing with,
Fear of what I can or can't do
and guilt of not doing them,
fearing what I want
and wanting what I fear.
Hiding myself from doing
that which I really want.
Hopelessly loosing
control of my passion and vision.
How do I pick myself
up from all this mess.
Strangely enough I see
the harsh realities creeping
slowly towards me.
How did I ever get here?
I don't know what happened,
and how I got myself into this mess.
I'm drowning and sinking
and can't seem to find any help.
Am I ashamed or
afraid to ask for help?
Can I ever be rescued
from this agony?
How did I ever let
myself pine away for so long
to the detriment of my health
to someone who never
really cared about me.
I feel like someone
who went to the airport to
wait for the ship to berth..
But Right now I'm so fully AWAKE!!!
And I really need to take a bath.

GOT THERE ON TIME
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I got there on time,
But I stand there in line,
To get me some dime.
To buy me some lime,
And go home to dine.

As I sat there to dine,
I waste lots of time,
To peel lots of lime,
I left them and run,
'Cause it started to rain.

As I counted my dime,
I looked at the time.
I went after the rain,
To pick up my lime,
And went back to dine.

the wonders of God.
The beautiful music of the sea,
Will make you feel good,
rejuvenate,heal and ease
the pain of sorrow
and suffering.
Human laughter will make
you feel love for all.
Birds in flight will
make you know
and appreciate freedom,
And listening to the wind,
Will take you into
the heart of God,
Where you will experience
more light,life and love.

HERE COMES THE NIGHT
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Here comes the night.
Here am I,
sitting so relaxed,
Calm and collected
Watching the setting sun,
Watching the night,
quietly and peacefully,
Coming slowly,
powerfully overtaking me.

Here comes the night,
How beautiful it comes,
Enveloping me,
disarming me,
With serenity taking
control of me,
As if with authority
telling me to be quiet.
It's so restful.

Here comes the night.
And now at this
moment I calmly
and slowly drift away.
Here comes the night,
It reminds me that each day,
Brings me nearer to my home.
I yield as it beacons,
because I want to go home.

EXIST TOGETHER
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
In the universe;
there are thousands of flowers
that blossom,
each with it's own Beauty,
yet no one is answerable to the other,
in synergy they work together,
giving out their beautiful fragrance.
Some are mild,
some sharp and pungent.
Others don't have any,
yet they exist together,
finding a common ground.
They pour out their fragrance,
give out their beauty,
to soothe and comfort the human spirit,
demanding nothing,
giving out freely,
an immense helper,
glad to do their work,
ready to share their life,heal or die,
never tired or complain,
breathing out what we take in,
and ever so humble,
they lay at our feet,
always at service to our needs.
Beauty is beauty.
With gladness and joyful tenderness
accept the beauty that is yours,
for it is only yours and no one else.

UNFOLDING DREAMS
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
In my hours of loneliness,
It is the love's unfolding dream
That lights up my life,
That purifies me,
And lift my soul higher,
To embrace the bliss that unfolds
Quietly in my being.
In stillness I absorb And abandon
Myself to it's splendour.

THE NOBLE ONE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
You don't know the Joy of
being able to breathe,
Hmmmmm;
being able to breath
in Joyful tenderness
is Happiness.
Today I stop to worry,
I stop to fret,
I stop to frown,
And I start to smile
and laugh out loud
at these frivolous
things that infests my life.
These choices I've made
have consequences,
but a better one at that...
Don't try to be a band aid
as if I'm wounded
or try to fix me as if
I'm a damaged good.
I ask that you leave your place
for a moment,
try to fit into my shoe,
only then you'll find out
how much I've been through
and how strong after
all these while I've become..
then you'll understand.
I guess my life may seem
Like a disappointment to you,
and cause you to look
at me as an unnecessary annoyance
but know that every thing
is working out
the way they should..
whether you know it or not,
Whether you like it or not,
whether you understand it or not,
And whether you believe it or not...
Just know it can only get better,
always to my advantage..
I am the Noble one
with a beautiful Soul
and I love my self so much
that I love you so much
that you have to start
loving me so much
as God loved you...

BEHOLD THE RAINBOW
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
The sign of promise made,
Appear first in the morning sky.
The Rainbow smiling down at me,
While it is still drizzling,
With a flicker of the morning sun,
While Saturn sits watching and smiling.
The abstinence about to end,
My heart desire has been answered.
With this assurance,
I know it can only get better.
The cosmic law fulfills all things,
above and below,
mundane and spiritual.
The struggle is now settled,
peace now reigns,
supremacy of the Almighty is here.
His power overrules all existing powers.
The rainbow smiling  down at me,
as I look up under the drizzling rain,
with the subtle morning sun as a witness.
Behold the Rainbow.

FOREVER MYSTERIOUS
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I am mystified with beauty,  
interludes of ecstasy engulf my spirit;
Reflected in bold strokes,
taking me into the realm of beauty.

This impression appear before me
with a childlike innocence
and yet like a child they
remain indifferent to what I think,
but then it speaks.

My eyes gazing away into the distance,
thoughts seemed far away,
deep into another realm,
dreaming in the presence of nature.

This beauty,
so near and touchable,
healthy,strong and alive,
with an exotic impression,
a puzzling melancholic overtone,
an awareness
that something is happening
which I neither know or understand,
but nature intended it that way:
Forever Mysterious.

It is that unfathomable
hidden part of myself,
my divinity,my soul and my spirit,
which no outsider could understand,
I didn't understand it either,
But was able to express this sensation,
feeling,and mood called Beauty.

ALL IS NOT LOST
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
When you feel lonely,
When everything seem to
stop and you feel lost,
When family and
friends walk out on you,
and you feel you
are alone in the world,
When no one smiles at you.
When sickness overtakes the body,
When things seems out of reach,
and cares infests your life.
Don't ever worry,Beloved.
There will be times like that.
Just find the courage
and time to go within
the silence of your
inner self and listen.
Listen,Beloved listen.
Listen to the voice
of the spirit within.
Behold,
he is standing there waiting.
Take care then
and look deeply within.
There,behold,
there he stands within the
luminous light waiting.
Take care to find
and meet this friend within,
for a friend you are
and should be to yourself.
When you finally meet
this great friend within.
He will take you into his
fold where you will be restored,
rejuvenated and healed.
Behold be of good cheer,
all is not lost,
be of cheer
and be encouraged.
Let your soul take
a bath in its splendour
and you will be forever
happy and all will be well.

FOREVER GRATEFUL
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Ancient of Days.
You who dwell within the Throne
Enshrouded within the clouds.
Through the sun you behold
and look down on earth,
Your eyes covers the whole world.
The sun is your essence.
Your glory radiates your universe.
Through it you give
life to all that exists.
Multitude of stars
shows your glory.
The ocean and seas
rejoice at your voice.
The heavens waters our forests.
You are the breath within breath.
All created things resonates to you.
My heart today
and always pants for you.
I bow down
and prostrate before your throne.
Jehovah;
that is who you are.
I am forever grateful.
Thank You Lord.

I AM THERE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Even if your heart
is breaking ;
Trust me.
Even if you
no longer feel
my presence,
It is because
you didn't notice:
I am there.
Only in stillness
and quiet understanding
Can you know
me as I am.
My silence is
my way
of strengthening you.
It is my way
of encouraging you
to take that
bold step of
faith toward me.
Only my touch
can ease
the pain you
are feeling now.
Even if your heart
refused to be encouraged,
Take hold of my hand
and walk with me
And let me love you.
Let me teach
you to love.
Let me teach
you to laugh
And be happy,
To forget everything
that has passed.
You are mourning
for what is not
worthy of grief.
Let me teach you
to build on what
you have experienced,
Instead of bending
under the load of it.

YOU ARE THE ONE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Love me as if it's
all that matters.
Talk to me as if it's
your last word.
Embrace and Hold me in
your Heart as if you are home.
Is not this all there is to live for?
Hold on to this matter
with all you've got,
For this is all you'll find,
All others will fly away.
You are the one
that I seek in this universe,
To know you as you are,
Is the reason for this union.
Everyone completes everyone.
Each with our unique mark,
with fully integrated expression.
We are here to learn how to love
each other,
live with each other,
help each other grow into
a more matured individual.
Love it is we need,
Love fulfils the law,
it makes everything right.
It has no enemy.
Go for love!!!

IN OTHER TO HEAL
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I have never seen anyone that carried
the sun or moon on their head,
it must remain above you,
or have I seen anyone that carried
the earth on their hand or head,
it must lie beneath your feet,
neither have I seen anyone that caught
the wind with their hands,
Oh no!!!!,it must always be elusive.
Nor have I ever seen anyone
that runs faster than their shadow,
you are both inseparable.
As you talk about life,
so is death waiting
in a world only slightly beyond.
Though a man must die
before the son becomes a man,
I have not seen a man who had
a son before his father,No!!!
Sometimes there are things
unspeakable that can happen to you,
shocked,amazed
and perplexed your spirit,
make you feel hopelessly helpless.
Know there is absolutely nothing
you can do about it because
all of it comes to make up
the textures of your life.
Accept it,change it in order to Heal,
grow and to get on with your life.
You must know that
where pain is inevitable,
hope is our assurance always.
Know It can only get better with time.
