Thank You Lord

My pleasure is to say thank you
Your presence is full of your mercy
You always ease my thirst
Your blessings are upon me

Thank you, Lord, for this life
Through you I am destined to win
For you have made me more than a conqueror
A winner for every strange

Thank you, Lord, for all limitations
For I have got more differences
For I have got challenges
That built my strength and character.

Thank you, Lord, for your mercy
For I have done more of mistakes
That taught me valuable lessons.

Thank you, Lord, for keeping a company for me
I have not been alone
You gave me friends and affection
From my family I have got love

Thank you that you embraced me in your friendly arms
Thank you for always realizing for me my deepest dreams
Thank you for providing the earth with all the good I need
And all that my soul will ever need

I’ll live in the sunshine where I belong with lots of smiles.

The Life Within Me

I have society to fear, its grueling questions. While you might be the person telling me that it is a sin to kill the embryo growing within me, I also know you are among the people who would question my character and my chastity. I know, I shouldn’t fear the world created by the generations before me, but everyone existing in its aftermath hasn’t made it easier for me. Maybe you can’t be supportive of my decisions, maybe you’ll be in constant disagreement; nor would I ask you not to be.  But please, respect my being, accept my choices and do not decide them for me.

Picture Perfect

G was at the gate. Perfect. I remembered about my earphones on the bed. I rushed for them, and as I was about to leave the front door, I bumped into him. I didn’t hear him come. I look at G for a second as he closed the gate. He apologized with his eyes. What could he do? A fresh cloud of mist covered my eyes as they darted between him, G and the gate. He is smiling at me. ‘I saw your mother leave. Where are you going?’

Just Another Bloke In Life

You see during my childhood, my parents ensured I watched fairy-tale movies and had books filled with magical stories of knights and beautiful princesses who were in dire need of saving. I don’t think they knew the effect of all these stories towards my love life. They have made me view relationships as something sacred, something beautiful to be shared with ONLY that person who loves you.
