IT'S A NEW DAY

So I woke up this morning,
To a new dawning, a new beginning,
A little worried about something so insignificant,
Perturbed about something so irrelevant,
But as I began to pray,
Thanking the good lord for yet another day,
A realization took hold of me,
A reality just hit me;
It's a new day!
It's the first day of a new month!

This realization brought upon me a new feeling of gladness,
This realization ushered me out of a feeling of sadness,
For it is a new day,
And at the dawn of a new day,
Comes a new opportunity, to plan again,
At the dawn of a new day,
Comes a new opportunity to dream, believe, and hope again,

So no matter what happened yesterday,
Please let it go, for it is a new day,
A new month, and a new chance at life,
A new chance to love you wife,
Some more; a new chance to be a better a boss,
A new opportunity to get back up from your loss,
Draw up a new game plan, and get your head back in the game,
For one thing is sure, yesterday and today, will never be the same,

So rejoice and be glad, give thanks to the almighty God,

Who's given you a NEW DAY!
For your best days are still ahead!

Peace. 

LET ME BE...

Sometimes I'm lost for words to express the love,
Which I feel for you; an angel sent me from above,
You are all I ever wanted in a woman,
You make me feel like a real man,
So through the happy days,
And in the midst of the gloomy days,
I would stand by you,
So, baby please let me be the one to shelter you,
When the storms of life are raging,
And when the rain of life is pouring,
Please let me be,

Let me be the one to catch you when you fall,
The one to answer when you call,
The one that wipes your tears,
The one that would never leave you bare,
Honey, please let me be the sunshine in your cloudy days,
And let me be the one that brightens your darkest days,
What more do I want in a woman, 
For you have made me a joyful man,
So what more do I want in life,
When I have you as my wife,
So please baby, just let me be,

Let me be your provider,
Let me be your defender,
Let me be your protector,
Let me be your one and only,
A companion that will never leave you lonely,
For your are the reason I wake up each day,
With a smile on my face, every day,
You are my saving grace,
The one whose touch, kiss, caress, romance and love,
Leaves me in a better place,
So please, baby, let me be to you whatever you want me to be.

'Cause I love you and I know you're the only one for me.

WHEN LAST?

It's the break of dawn,
You still haven't gotten some things done,
It's 3 am, you try to get some sleep,
Four hours later, the alarm clock chimes, time to lose the sleep,
You get out of bed,
Like an early bird,
Eat your break fast quickly,
It's rush hour, the kids need to get to school quickly,
A sigh of relief, you are at your place of work,
To begin the day's work;
It's what you do every day,
Your life goes on like this every day,
But in the midst your everyday life,
You never stop to think about your life,

It's always been about your comfort,
The pleasure of the flesh, every day needs and wants, no hurt,
You take care of the kids, and your spouse, provide their food,
Don't get me wrong, all this is good;
Working to make ends meet, living for your family; all good,
But when last did you stop to think about your soul?
There is more to life than just living for an earthly goal,
We all talk about job, financial, and even marital security,
But how about eternal security,
When last did you think about God, heaven, hell, eternity?
May be you still think Christianity, Jesus Christ, the Bible, are all a fairy tale,
May be you still think there is no God, heaven is just a fairy tale,
Life is to be lived to the satisfaction of one's self,
So all you think about is living for yourself,
Well, amidst the arguments, misconceptions, and man's philosophies,
It's time to start paying attention to biblical prophecies,

For death is a real thing, and so is the after life,
So when last did you think about Christ's life?
The significance of the cross and what Christ did for you,
It is better to live life like there is a God,
And die to find out there is no God,
Than to life life like there is no God,
And die to find out there is a God.
What would be your response when you appear before God?
So I ask, when last did you think about living for a caring and loving God?

DON'T GIVE UP!

Discouraged, heart-broken, your spirit is shattered,
Depressed, dreams-broken, your soul is battered,
Deserted by all and sundry, whom to heart you took,
You feel like your life is a sad story told in a sorrowful book,
Regardless of your present situation,
In spite of your current disposition,
Don't give up,
For you are sure to rise to the top,
If you hold on,
And keep pressing on,

Perplexed, upset, annoyed, you are raging within,
Puzzled, confused, frustrated, you are lost within,
Lost sight of your life's direction,
Angry at the course of your life, void of promotion,
They say you should keep trying,
But you have lost all hopes, you are tired of trying,
It feels like the more you try the harder it gets,
It feels like the more you pray the tougher it gets,
I feel your pain and I understand,
It hasn't been easy from where I stand,
But regardless of your present situation,
In spite of your current disposition,
Please don't give up,
For you are sure to rise to the top,
If you hold on,
And if you keep pressing on,

It might take a little longer,
You might need to walk a little farther,
Before things get better,
But one thing is sure;
And this one thing I know for sure;
Regardless of your present situation,
In spite of your current disposition,
You will laugh and smile again,
You will celebrate and rejoice again,
If you don't give up,
And if you keep reaching for the top!
Peace.

WHAT HAPPENED TO US? III

Where are the days when we were taught respect and regard,
Where are the days when our kids were taught civility, not disregard,
Where are the days when our kids didn't use curse words,
Not because we would smack them but because they knew not to use such words,
Sadly enough, today, I see kids as young as ten, eleven, and twelve using the f-word,
They even refer to their sisters, using the b-word,
Oh how I wail inside for the restoration of godliness in our nation,
For the return of righteousness to our generation,
And I still can't stop asking, what happened to us?


Let us return to the foundation,
Let us return to the foundation,
Please let us return to the foundation,
Have a mind of your own,
Don't be deceived by the media, from its throne,
Of deception, perversion, confusion, and misconception,
Let us return to God, for regardless, He remains our only true foundation,

What do we teach our children?
What do we inculcate in our children?
Do we ourselves even know what is right again?
Do we still know what is the right way again?
Or have our vision being blurred by the perversion of a godless generation,
Twisted by the promulgation of popular culture, given to misconception,

For except we invest in the future of the next generation,
We may find ourselves, years from now, asking about our beloved nation,
What has happened to us?

WHAT HAPPENED TO US? II

....Since when did it become cool to publicize immorality on national T.V?
The crowd cheers, we praise and celebrate an open display of moral decadence, really?
And yet you tell me my definition of wrong, may not be your definition of wrong,
When we all know that there is a clear, thick line between right and wrong,
Our children no longer have a sense of a clear moral direction,
We have lost our moral compass, lost the direction,

The good is fast becoming bad, and the bad is fast becoming good,
These days that which is bad is often celebrated, than that which is good,
Sometimes I am moved to tears when I think about the future generation,
Sometimes I am moved to tears when I think about the future of our nation,
How long shall we continue on a downward path of destruction,
Our moral and family values slipping away from our hands into the waters of oblivion,
Oh can someone please tell me what happened to us?
'Cause I really want to know...

TO BE CONTINUED...

WHAT HAPPENED TO US?

Morality varnished,
Godliness vanquished,
We chose to be a secular nation,
Separate the church and the state, was the notion,
Family values rejected,
Anarchy is becoming the accepted,
What happened to us?

When did we become a people with no moral values,
Since when did it become cool to openly disregard God and His values,
Our kids are becoming increasingly insolent and wild,
Our family and moral values are fast disappearing, we are losing our guide,
Even the sanctity of the marriage institution,
An institution ordained by God with a fixed vision;
A man shall cleave unto His wife was the description,
But now we throw the sanctity of the institution,
To the provision of constitution,
Well, do not crucify me, do not criticize me,
For when it comes to certain things, no man or nation is the standard,
Only God's word and principles is the standard,
So it's not about me or anybody or any written document, it's about Him, not me,
So I ask, what happened to us?
