Loved 2 Love!

Not from my human means I delight

For then I would be in mean bravado

Not from wealth and health I'm knight

For even my breath is a free gift in affection

Not from my devotion to faith I live

For all my hope is anchored in him

Not from I is my passion drawn

From him who reigns on high I bear fruit

Not from my soul is this love sired

Only for he who is Love shares of his fountain

Not to be loved that I do love

In his grace and mercy I'm truly loved

Not by the strength beneath my fists I rise

Off his kindness I’ll see the celestial feast

The Glamour - A Sonnet!

The glamour of a journey of darlings

The souls soar in the lilt of dulcet kindle

For this must be the long endurance’ fairings

We must've unravelled the finest riddle

Off the sweet heavens this must've been hewn

Our love has knit us to a cool joyous biddle

Like the stars we dazzle as beauty sewn

In deep love let our hearts ever cuddle

Our lips are airily tuned and wet

The rhythm of our song only we can handle

How they make the appetite whet

The melodies so august see our faces ruddle

For these delectations will ne'er dwindle

Our flesh will soon be avowed to fondle

Make Sense of the Essence!

Where is;

What is our true worth?

What holds us intact?

What keeps our heads up?

What fuels our soul?

What feeds our passion?

What ignites our actions?

What quenches our longings?

What steers our motivation?

What spurs our daily quest?

What stirs our hearts?

What aghast our souls?

What essences our presence?

Is it berthed on?

The fruit of our reproduction

The reap of our endeavour

The circle of our relations

On the inherent worth of birth

The greed of our flesh

The element of our consumption

The tide of earthly opulence

The itching for attention

The yen for recognition

The character in our conviction

The fulfilment of our commission

The essence by the transcendence

For from such comes either;

Life’s ghastly frustration or;

Life’s thrilling contentment

Mama Africa Waits!

The African Mother longs to see her burden lifted off her back

She so faithfully brings up her sons and daughters in deep hope

Wherever, whenever, whatever

she hopes beyond all odds

She longs for the day the dust will settle and let her enjoy her toil

See hers eyes longingly watching

Hear her ears patiently listening

Feel her heart unyieldingly yearning

Will her sons and daughters make a difference?

Will they meet the expectations of her heavy heart?

Mama Africa will one day smile above her veil of struggle

Guide Me Lord!

Keep my eyes wide open Lord

That I may be able to see your ways

Keep my ears continually open Lord

That I may be able to hear your voice

Keep my spirit ever alert Lord

That I may be able to discern your will

Keep my soul awakened Lord

That I may continue to yearn for you

Keep my heart guarded Lord

That I will not be devoured by the evil one

Keep me fully armed in you Lord

That I will duel the wiles of the devil

Mothers Ever Wise And Dandy!

Mothers in love wander

See them render in tender

See them ponder in fonder

See them wander to binder

Who would be more kinder

To beat their love I wonder

Such a homely grandeur

Time spent in their gander

Mothers ever wise and dandy

The Unmerited Gift Of Love Divine!

Grace his unmerited gift 

Grace his unmerited gift of Love sired life

Grace and not my pace

Grace and not my pace got me to his place

Grace and not my race

Grace and not my race grant me salvation

Grace and not my chase

Grace and not my chase offered me deliverance

Grace and not my poise

Grace and not my poise gave me eternal joy

Grace and not my voice

Grace and not my voice reaps my soul rejoice

Grace and not my endurance

Grace and not my endurance grant me true peace

Grace and not my essence

Grace and not my essence soars me in eminence

Grace and not my guise

Grace and not my guise will I his presence suffice

Grace his unmerited gift 

Grace his unmerited gift of Love divine sired life
