A PART OF ME

I see her, I adore her, I think I like her;
I'm not sure if it is love I feel for her,
And I'm not sure if she likes me back,
I send endearing words, but she never sends any back,
But I know this is not lust, 
Besides, I'm saved not lost,
So, I tell her I want to be friends,
But then I feel a part of me feels otherwise,
A part of me wants to be just friends,
But then a part of me feels otherwise,

Sometimes I wonder what her world feels like,
What kind of person she really is, what she is like,
I'm not sure if what I feel is love, but I know it's certainly likeness,
So I pray to God, and ask Him for direction, so I don't end up in sadness,
For I know that He holds the keys to my life, so He knows what's best for me,
Marriage is an institution ordained by God, so He knows if she is right for me,
So while I sometimes think of her, I know not to rush things,
Hence, I decide I would be just friends with her, not rushing things,
Taking it slowly, one step at a time,
But somehow I feel this feeling is reaching it's prime,
So I try to stifle it, I feel I need to be focused on my future,
Instead of focusing on this girl's posture, in my mental picture,
But after all is said and done, I know that I certainly feel something within,
But while a part of me feels mere likeness,
Another part of me feels love and togetherness,
So, what to do, what to do?
I just sit back and let God have his way,
Let Him lead me; I'll do what He says, just His way,

For I've come to realize that if it is meant to be, it will be,
She would come around, if she is the right one for  me,
Desperation leads to worry, anxiety and even frustration,
So may be you feel the same way right now about love,
About someone you think is sent you from above,
But you're not sure what do to; well, I say let God have His way,
That's if you believe in God, which you should, there's no other way,
Love takes its time, it is never hasty,
But love is also never late, it is not lazy,
So wait for the right time, for if that love is meant to be, it will be. Peace.

AMERICA: STILL STANDING

From the shackles of an oppressive colony have we emerged,
From the bonds of "taxation without representation" have we come,
A nation driven by unity in diversity, and equality for all,
A nation free from dependence, standing tall,
So thus far have we come, in spite of the struggles,
Thus far have we come in spite of the battles,
And after more than two centuries later,
The Star-Spangled banner still waves,
Over the land of the free and the home of the brave,
And through the progression of time,
And the passage of seasons, we continue to strive on to our prime,
As we remain, America: Still Standing.

The past years have been very challenging,
We've had to deal with issues, so challenging,
We've been tossed to and fro by turbulent tides,
Yet in the midst of it all, we still maintain our prides,
Attacked severally by our enemies,
Lambasted occasionally by those who desire our death,
Hated by those who wish to stifle our breathe,
But through it all, we remain, America: Still Standing,

So as we celebrate our 235th birthday,
On this very historical day,
Let us not forget the almighty,
The one who's been our help in ages past,
Let us remember that we still are "one nation under God",
Therefore let us acknowledge Him in all we do,
Let us return to the foundation of His word,
For if we have come this far by God,
I think we will even go farther by God,
As we make laws and approve legislation,
Let us stop giving room to abomination,
For regardless of what happens, if we hold on to God,
We will always remain, America: Still Standing,

Let us stop the prejudice and the discrimination,
Let us stop hatred and an acrimonious disposition,
Let us stay together and love one another,
Be a helping hand to your next door neighbor,
For though we have varying religious views and belief systems,
Love, respect, equality, unity in diversity, are very important items,
Which we must apply and uphold,
I may not accept your way to God,
But that doesn't mean I should hate you,
So I guess all I'm saying is, Love all, Fear God, even as a nation,
As we continue to remain America: Still Standing.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

LOVE HIM REGARDLESS

Sometimes you wonder if he is still the same man you married,
You even ponder over whether to leave him or remain with him,
'Cause perhaps, he doesn't love you anymore,
Or doesn't treat you well as before,
But before you leave him and walk out the door,
Please remember your marriage vow-"for better for worse",
For no matter what happens, he is still your husband,
And if you stay with him, he will remain your "house-band"
So please in spite of his current attitude,
Stick with him and love him regardless,

He doesn't put the toilet seat down,
He is very unorganized; he litters his socks and clothes,
Love him regardless,
He sometimes forgets to help with the kids, or the dishes,
And sometimes you wish he could assist you some more,
I understand, but please still love him regardless,
May be he has cheated on you before,
And you feel like he doesn't love you as before,
No matter what has happened, pray for him,
And believe God for a change, while you keep loving him regardless,
You just never know; you constant love and fidelity might bring him back to his senses,
So please remember he is still you husband,
You vowed to love him for better for worse,
So in spite of his current attitude,
Just love him regardless,
For true love is unconditional and endless.

LOVE HER REGARDLESS

She seemed to have changed,
Not the same woman you married,
And sometimes you wonder what happened,
If you could turn back the hands of time, you would,
But regardless of what may have happened,
Remember your marriage vow-"for better for worse",
So please, no matter what happened,
Remember that she is still bones of your bones,
The one to whom you are joined in nuptial unity,
So stick with her and love her regardless,

Sometimes she excites you,
And at other times she upsets you,
No matter what happens,
Remember she is still an inseparable part of you,
So love her regardless,
For true love is unconditional,
It is endless, it is eternal,
Remember that she is still bone of your bones,
The one to whom you are joined in nuptial unity,
So please stick with her and love her regardless.

Through her imperfections,
In the midst of her whimsical dispositions,
Love her regardless,
Through the good and the bad,
In the midst of the happy and sad,
moments in your marriage, please love her regardless,
For she is still bone of your bones,
The one to whom you are joined in nuptial unity,
So please stick with her and love her regardless.

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?
