It's a brand new year,
I'm so grateful to be alive,
My eye just let out a tear,
But as I reminisce on the events of the year past,
And upon my gains and losses, a thought of stock-taking cast,
I can't help but meditate on the prospect of the new year,
I can't help but cogitate on how the lord has brought me thus far, here,
So, as the new year rolls out,
There are so many things I'm thinking about,
There are some things I'm unsure of,
And yes, some things that I'm afraid of,
But as these thoughts run through my mind,
And these feelings I can't leave behind,
I am reminded by The Spirit to look to the hills,
From whence my help will come, no matter how I feel,
For because God's on His throne, it is well,
I (you) will succeed through this year, and excel,
I may not be sure of how to pay the mortgage,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure I will,
A single uncoupled sister, I'm not sure if I'll get engaged,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure I will,
A single brother, I'm not sure if I'll find that special sister,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure I will,
A working class mother,
I'm not sure how to juggle the kids, work and my husband,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure I will,
An ordained minister, I'm not sure how to cater effectively for the flock of God, this year,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure it will,
An up and coming artist, I'm not sure if my big break will come this year,
But because God's on the throne,
It is well,
And I'm sure I will,
Time and space will fail me to touch every aspect,
But I hope you get the idea and see the prospect,
The list continues but whatever it is,
This shall be your year of CONGRATULATIONS,
And come what may, you'll make it with stars,
Because God's on the throne!
Happy Prosperous New Year!
Congratulations! You made it!

EVERY MAN...
Every man needs a woman who would let him be the man, the king of the castle, and head of the house,
Every man needs a woman who would be a wife to him, a mother and a teacher to his kids, a chef in the kitchen, an economist and manager in the house and a strategist in bed,
But most men desire a woman who would never say "no" to any of their request, a woman who is always ready to compromise and let him have his way; such men would even cheat on their spouse,
Only a few men would serve their wife breakfast in bed, massage her body when she needs it, run a warm bath for her when she is tired, hold her close and cuddle her when she feels like it, and kiss her good night on the head,
So, which are you? Every man, Most men, a Few men, or may be all, or even none?
Every man needs a woman who would be bye him when he is flowing in money,
Every man needs a woman who would be with him, when he wallows in paradise-fountain,
But most men desire a woman who would stay with them when every thing else is gone, and would still call them, "honey",
Only a few men would remain faithful to their wives when all is bad, in the valley, and when all is well, on the mountain,
So, which are you? Every man, Most men, a Few men, or may be all, or even none?
Every man needs a woman who would bring out the best in him, and support him to be his best,
Every man needs a woman who would help him work on his weaknesses, while she sharpens his strengths, making him better,
But most men desire a woman who would remain faithful to them, while they cheat and misbehave with the rest,
Only a few men would value the treasure on the inside and outside of their wives, constantly drawing from her fountains, working the relationship out, instead of seeking another sister,

EVERY WOMAN...
Every woman needs a man who would show her true love,
Every woman needs a man who would love her for who and what she is,
Most women desire a man who would make them glow, like a full moon in the sky above,
But some women seek a man who would just be there, whether rich or poor, that's all it is,
So, which are you? Every woman, most women or some women, or may be all?
Every woman needs a man who would make her feel like a woman,
Every woman needs a man who brings out the beauty and the best, not the beauty and the beast, in her,
Most women would do anything to get a wealthy man,
But some women would love their man, regardless, and take him higher than he can be, just like her,
So, which are you? Every woman, most women or some women, or may be all?
Every woman needs a man who would make her feel loved, respected, adored and cherished-like a princess or may be a queen,
Every woman needs a man who undermines her weaknesses but magnifies her strengths, and accepts her even with her imperfections,
Most women cannot stand a man whose bank account cries for help, and whose check book is always unseen,
But some women would be there to the end, their vow-for better for worse; they love without restrictions and inhibitions,
So, which are you? Every woman, most women or some women, or may be all?

MY SILVER LINING
She is the reason I wake up each day with a smile on my face,
The reason I'm always in a better place,
She is the reason I can look forward to the future with hope,
And in spite of my many troubles and struggles, she remains the reason I can still cope,
She is many things to me, but most of all,
She is the sunshine behind my dark clouds-the reason I fear no fall,
And in the midst of my grey clouds, she remains My Silver Lining,
What more do I need when I have this divine creature in my life,
What more do I need when I'm blessed with an angel for a wife,
I thank the almighty for her life,
For I remember when I first met her, many said she wasn't right for me,
But I ignored them and it didn't take long for me to realize we were meant to be,
Thank you baby for loving me in spite of my imperfections,
Thank you for always leading me in the right directions,
Today, as I take you down the aisle,
There's something I'd always wanted to say for a while,
Here it is: till my dying day you would be my heart,
And for eternity we would never be torn apart,
So let time stop, let the world come crumbling down,
Let the universe change its rotational circle, and the stars come falling down,
I would never stop loving you, 'cos you are My Silver Lining,
Let people talk all they want, trying to put between us a distance,
Let them spread rumors about you, trying to end our love's existence,
They're just wasting time, 'cos after all is said and done, we would be together,
Two inseparable lovebirds, always flocking together,
Thanks for being My Silver Lining. I love you!

LIFE WITH YOU...
Baby, I wasn't kidding when I said everyday with you,
Is sweeter than the day before,
Really, I wasn't flattering you,
And I want you to know this for sure,
I truly and sincerely love you,
It's like I'm sick with you, and I don't need no cure,
It's like your love is a migraine headache,
So strong in my heart and head, and I don't need a paramedic,
Baby, violets are blue,
And roses are red,
That is true,
But I've got something better in my head,
Diamonds are costly, and my love is true,
So, I'll give you diamonds instead,
Not just roses and violet; for life with you,
Is something money cannot afford,
So if it means buying you the world, baby I'm prepared,
Baby, please get on board with me,
Let me take you on the adventure of your life,
Just you and me and all the good things of life, you see?
Just say yes to me, and be my wife,
Please, for I am prepared to make you free,
From suffering, struggling, hustling and all the worries of your life,
I am prepared to give your love, care, respect, adoration, admiration, all for free,
Just in exchange for your true love, I would even add material provision on top too if you just be my wife,
For life with you is all I need in my life.

TEENAGE EXUBERANCE-PART THREE
But as these thoughts run through my mind, I am reminded of the fact that this child was destined for greatness, God created it for a purpose. I am also made to understand that this NIGHTMARE of YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE is not inevitable; it is avoidable, if the two most important parties concerned (the parents and the child) play their individual roles. In my few years of studying, reading and interaction with people, I have come to understand that at birth the child is considered a “tabular rasa” or “clean slate” and its mind is pliable-susceptible to influence and indoctrination. Hence the Bible book of Proverbs holds its application here, “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he would not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). Dear parent; mother or father, are you too busy to begin the inscription of godly and moral values on the “clean slate” of your child’s mind? Are you so much of a workaholic or even a “shopaholic” that you now live the upbringing of your child to the society? Remember that there are three factors that affect a child’s development-Nature (the genetic composition of the child, which are congenital; the child is born with it), Nurture (which refers to parental upbringing or child training) and Environment or the Society (which constitutes the acquired traits of the child). In all these, the last two hold a significant influence on a child’s life, that is, Nurture and Environment or the Society.
