Happy Birthday

Dawn is slowly breaking
Party’s almost ended – friends are on their way home
I’m still at the office trying to round up
I’m sorry for your birthday I couldn’t come

Your present is hanging by your window pane
As well as behind your picture hanging on your wall
I know not how to present my gift to you late
But just know tis the greatest gift of all

The fire that burns between us is fading
And the love we once shared is in despair
I stand out here to do my bid and best
To let precious memoirs fill our polluted air

Through your emotions I can clearly see
That one day the scales from your eye would fall
And knowing that you were once in love with me
Tis my greatest gift of all

And just before I say goodnight and go to sleep
I hear my mobile phone softly ring
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you my love”
Is the song it beautifully sings

And so I say a silent birthday wish
For you my love amid great and small
Long life and great prosperity all day long
Tis from me to you the greatest gift of all

YOU CAN TURN YOUR DREAMS TO REALITY

You have the power and the opportunity to change your life. You can make anything you want of it. It's not difficult, it just takes some effort. Have you ever thought of the cost to arrange a funeral? And comparing it with the cost of staying alive – I mean successful? The truth of the matter is many think they are alive but are either dead-broke or dead as in DEAD. But the good news is that dreams can come though the light and those dreams can for you reality.

See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Develop a Daily Action Plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have.

Your imagination will show you how to turn your possibilities into reality. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will begin to work toward making those mental pictures come true.If you picture yourself vividly as winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.
Knowing your destination is all you need to get there.

THE MIRACLES OF LOVE

It opens closed doors of the heart
And tears the mask of hatred apart
It put smiles on ominous faces
Has no dogma, creed or races

From the east to the west
It is welcomed as the best
From the north to the south
Relieves any in doubt

It inspires the parson to discourse
The ungodly bows and becomes righteous
It is the song that artiste write
That turns wrong doers to right

It makes strangers to hold hands
And exchange ideas easy to understand
It is that that makes faith visible
Elevates passionately the low and simple

It is strength to the ignored
And to givers, it is their reward
It sees beyond ones imperfection
Without ridicule, without condemnation

Fosters compassion in the valley of hate
Beckons to all that off their fate
The forgiver of the prodigal
Makes paradise out of sepulchre

It cost zilch but creates much
Based on correction and as such
Its icon is seldom grasp through the eyes
Never ending and barely dies

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE REALITY.

Courage is the power to face your difficulties. It comes from the reserves of your mind that are more powerful than any of your outside circumstances. It is said that you should never allow someone else’s opinion form your reality – because many people would define you before saying a word to them.

When you recognize that you are bigger than your problems, you gain the courage necessary to overcome everything – and when I mean everything I mean everything.

Your obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small. Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined. It gives you the ability to rise above reality.

You are more important than any of your problems – because before your problem was you were. You did it back then and you can do it again. Let that stay with you through this winter season.

Special Friend Poems - "Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.

I can't change your past with all its heartache and pain, or the future with its untold stories. But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine; yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, or to judge; I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you, But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.

YOU CAN BE A WINNER IF YOU PLAN AHEAD

You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: TIME. You can do things before they need to be done – you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place.

Think ahead of any approaching action. Make a plan and you will always have the advantage. Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

THE HIGHEST OF DISTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS

The truly successful person doesn't use others; other people use the successful person. If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve.

Service to others is the essence of success. No one achieves success without being of service. All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.

(a story from a prophet) A woman, a few days after that He was passing through a crowd going to heal a little sick girl, and a woman touched His garment. She said in herself, "If I can touch Him, I'll be well. He's a holy Man, and I believe Him to be just what He says He is." She touched His garment, and--and she ran back and hid herself in the crowd.
Jesus said, "Who touched Me? Who touched Me?"
And EVERYBODY... She and all of them... NOBODY... "No, I never touched You."
And Peter, always, you know, with his boldness he stood out and said, "Lord, how could ANYBODY tell? EVERYBODY'S touching You and why saith Thou, 'Who touched Me?' Why stop the--the procession as we're going on, standing here saying, 'Who touched Me, who touched Me?' when everybody's just a loving around You and everything."
He said, "Yes, but I got weak. SOMEBODY touched Me with faith."

You Can See Your Future With A Vision.

Study your present situation thoroughly. Go over in your imagination the various courses of action possible to you. Visualize the consequences which can follow from each course. Pick out the course which gives you the most promise and go ahead.

Many successful people use this skill of mental visualization. They mentally run through important events before they happen.

Picture yourself in your mind’s eye as already having achieved your goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you've reached your goal. You can put your subconscious to work toward making your mental pictures come true. Go over your day in your imagination before you begin it. You can begin acting successfully at any moment.

See the things you want as already yours. Think of them as yours, as already in your possession. You can see your future with a vision and live your dreams.

IT’S OKAY TO CRY

I saw her after a long time
She never really changed from her prime
She bleached her hair to hide her intentions
Her pretty face had lost all its expressions

She needed to talk
So we took a long walk
I thought about my friend I’d left in a rush
She thought about her first crush

She then spoke about her love affair
I saw a tender heart bound with fear
She told me these over and over again
I saw friendship worthy of great gain

She spoke about her goals in life
I saw the etiquette of a virtuous wife
She told me of her quest for a friend
I gave her a promise that she could depend

She was missing her entire family
I was missing her badly
She thought her life was just a waste
I told her never to judge in haste

She told me about her worst state
I took her hands and gave her faith
I said few words to show I was indeed candid
“I was there, it’s okay to cry” – so she did

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF YOU.

You're the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. While your character is formed by circumstances, your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances. Thus, you have the power over the formation of your own character.

Nature is always at work around you. Your character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. You have the power to choose which impulse you will follow.

You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life. No one can ever take that away from you. The greatest power you possess is the power to choose. You're the master of your joys and your sorrows.

Birthday Wife

I saw him in a drug store, he was big, an awkward-looking guy
With work-worn hands, he looked as one down with strife
He was fumbling through the card sections
The section marked “Birthday Wife”.

I watched him out from the corner of my eye
As he took out a card and read it, put it back
I could tell by the look on his face it wasn’t what he wanted
As he repeated his action without a setback

Finally, he picked up an attractive one
One of those kinds of curvy-looking cards
With flowers on the front, still wasn’t convinced
Guess something was missing – maybe birds

Or maybe it probably said something like
“Roses are red, violets and blue” you know!
But he sighed and took it to the check-out canter
Where he paid and packaged so that its content won’t show

On his way home he had stopped for a moment
I supposed he scrawled something simple on the base
Something like “love Pete” and continued his walk home
He gave it to her but it didn’t say what he wanted to say

The things we wish to say are not that easy
But she probably had a clue or rather knew
By the way he grinned at her – poked her by the elbow
Because his words were not always few

What goes on inside our heart of hearts
Are the hard things we want to say – both great and small
Of course one should not bother trying to say them
They would always know because LOVE says it all

It is not easy to say the things that really matters, is it?
It’s not always easy to say “I really love you”
Sometimes it’s hard to say “I’m sorry, I was wrong”
Or “I acted like a fool yesterday, please forgive me”

A GOAL CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE.

A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder. Goals are dreams that are written down go a long way in knowing WHY, WHEN, and HOW they are achieved. The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention. Your mind will reach toward achievement only when it has a goal.

There is no achievement without goals. Establish a goal worth working for. Your goal will keep you going in tough times. Always have something ahead of you. Continuously visualize your next step. Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another. Momentum is maintained by always having something to look forward to. Constantly give yourself something to work for.

Do what you can do well, and do well whatever you can do and you'll achieve any goal that you set for yourself. You can plant your dream with a goal.

APOLOGY

Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Is my heart made of ice?
Or does my blood flow like the raging sea

Let me take you down to my core
Where lately I've become so numb
In search of fun I closed your door
All is lost and now I'm sucking me thumb

My soul sleeps somewhere cold
Waiting to be found, and taking home
Now I know what I'm left without
I'll make it back if only you kiss away my doubt

I'm frozen inside without your touch
In darkness I wander without a torch
Thinking you would come and set free
You only sigh and snubbed me.

What would I do to reconcile the fate?
Should sex be always used as bait?
Every night on my kneel I pray
That you come and renew my day

See the world in my own point of view
Sing with me while I play the tune
In my arms, you would never be lonely
In my heart you remain the one and only

EMBRACE CHANGE WITH PASSION.

Accept that change will take place. It is inevitable. Be secure in the knowledge that you can deal with whatever happens. To feel secure you must bend your insecurities, and avoid breaking when things don't go your way. You'll always be secure to the degree that you can accept change. You actually become secure, not by standing still, but by growing, moving and being energized. Your ultimate security is your understanding of this reality.

There is no permanent security on this earth: there is only opportunity. Have the courage to bet on your new ideas, to take calculated risks, and to act on your opportunities. There is nothing to stop you on the road to success but yourself.


Change is good. Some people are afraid of change, but change is the invitation of experiencing something new that may affect your life in a positive way. Change is inevitable and will happen in all of our lives. In most cases, change is the way to move forward to success. Dealing with change is what will determine your success.

If we learn to embrace change and accept it as part of life, it becomes easier to handle every situation that presents itself. When you resist change, you can set yourself up for failure. We are all in constant motion and not everything will go according to plan. If we grow from the changes that take place, then we will be able to become more equipped to deal with life’s challenges.

You can either choose to grow with change or not to grow. Growth means embracing the change in our situation and looking for the things that help to learn from it.

Embracing change creates a flow that if followed may produce results that may just surprise us. Experience is life’s lesson to teach us how to accept change and make it work for us.

Change gets you out of your comfort zone and releases your full potential, even if it is risky, to pursue your purpose. Don’t stay in the box. There will be no change possible in that little box. Change helps you to meet new people, start new ventures, have new ideas, and experience new things. It gives you a sense of purpose and an opportunity to dream big, if you allow that to happen.

You have to make the decision to realize that people change; life changes, and situations will change because life is a process. Make a decision because you do have a choice, life will change, people change, situations change and so can you!

Some people view change as something difficult to handle, but if change is embraced, it can give you more choices to realize and accomplish more in your life. Fear is sometimes the cause of refusing to embrace change. Fear of the unknown does not necessarily mean that the unknown is bad. It would just be your concept of the unknown that limits you and prevent you from accepting change.

Facing the reality of change and increasing your confidence in your abilities will enable you to accept and embrace change as something good and not bad.

You should take a look at who you are now and what you want for our future. With that in mind, when change comes, it will be easy for you to evaluate yourself at that time, to see the effect of what that change can do to your present and future situation.

When there is an inner awareness and clarity in whatever you do, there will be a new outlook on change and will help us not to place blame on anyone, but to let the change affect you in a positive way.

Stop indulging in habitual things that don’t allow you to advance. Make and embrace changes on your own to get closer to your purpose. Successful people view change as a challenge and the ideal pursuit of better things to come and so should you.

YOU DETERMINE YOUR ATTITUDE.

Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances. You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.

It's how you react to events, not the events themselves that determines your attitude. Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. It's not your position but your disposition that counts. For man proposes and GOD disposes.

If she'd taken the wrong attitude, the miracle would've never happened. It's your--it's your attitude towards the Divine gift of God which determines what's going to happen, always, always.

See, there's no individual person can heal. And there's no--no person that can save you against your will or heal you against your will. It has to be your attitude towards Jesus Christ, what determines your healing. Now, God has sent ministers to preach the Gospel. He put His Word out here, but He put ministers to preach it. He put the different things. But His church... But He has got members in this church or people in this church that... God has set the church in order. And if the people would just get in the place where God put them, and then the church would be in order.

Now, it's your attitude what that is what determines what you get. See? They put rag on His head and hit Him and said, "Tell us something." See? But He doesn't do that. It's your attitude towards Him.

Now, Daniel said, "I'm going to purpose in my heart. No matter how much pressure they put on me, how much they laugh and say I'm a holy-roller, that won't bother me a bit. That won't faze me one bit. I'm going to stay true to God no matter what comes through bad." That's the way. Then you're going to get somewhere when you start with that attitude.

Remember, it's the motive that you have towards anything that determines what you're going to get out of it. It's your motives. If your motive is right, you'll be all right. But always make your motives right. Serve the Lord for one purpose, because you love Him, not because you're afraid of hell, not because you're afraid of dying, but because you love Him, Who loved you when you were unlovable. That's it. "Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious Blood shall never lose its power till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more." That's right. "Ever since by faith I saw that stream, Thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die." What a marvelous quotation of the poet. And that's right. Take all of everything else, but give me love.

Now, Christ meets with man in different councils. Sometimes He meets with man in great numbers. Sometimes He meets with men in small numbers. The numbers doesn't mean whether Christ is there or not; it's the attitude of the people that's in the number what determines it.

Blind Son of Timaeus

Darkness once filled my world
Believing only what I smell and hear
Many are aware of my distresses
Yet many could barely bear

Left my juvenile court
To embrace the youthful arms I didn't see
In the open I sat daily
Waiting for the dime meant for me

In rags I am clothed
With crumbs I am fed
My bride hardly believes her sight
Wishing I was dead

Yet my little turtle dove
I sacrificed for her health
Forfeited my lamb for my daughter
Who sings my heart to melt

Though I haven't seen her
Her voice lingers in my head
I tried all to do for her
Yet couldn't make her cradle bed

Suicidal became my dearest friend
As fulfilment days drew near
Having achieving nothing big
Torrential judgment became my fear

As I walked down to my usual spot
I felt like any other day
Ambivalence clouds my mind
Wondering what next to say

Voices were noised abroad
Heralding an uncertain rain
What could this be I questioned
A familiar name heads my way

My adrenalin shot at desperation
My voice He heard finally
He sent for me and demanded
My request was granted gradually

Momma's Hand

I saw you hide your wrinkled hands
Behind your timid self called fear
I easily noticed the veins from those hands
Because they have always gave me care

I say it’s no disgrace
To have working hands like you
I wish I did all you did for me
I’d have hands like you too

The hands that has hauled down trees
And worked severely in God’s great earth
They’ve felt the bitterness in the cold
And warmed up those with cold hearth

They’ve touched the young in heart
And caressed the fevered head
With hands you’ve neatly carved
My cherished little cradle bed

They’ve scrubbed the kitchen floor
And done lots of dishes each day
They’ve guided orphans and prodigals
Who somehow had lost their way

Every year they’ve made Christmas gift
Accepted by friends with both hands
They don’t only care and guide
But has directed many to the promise land

They’ve worn bruises and blisters
And have many calluses to show
For all they’ve done for me and others
The tale speaks and everyone knows

So you see my dearest mother
Yours are the hands of love
And I bet the lord will easily notice
When he greets you up above

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK

It's a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish you must first impress upon your subconscious mind. Like they say “whatever the mind can conceive the heart can achieve”. Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.

What you impress upon your mind, you'll inevitably become. Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image. You'll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition. Constant repetition carries conviction.

When you change your values you'll change your behaviour. Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself.

You can become whatever you want to be. When you believe you can, then and only then you can.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ALL THE TIME

The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, for time and chance happen to everyone. Take a second look at what appears to be someone's "good luck." You'll find not luck but preparation, planning and success-producing thinking.

Opportunity is around you all the time, but you have to be ready for it. A Motivational speaker once said “I’ll rather be prepared for an opportunity and don’t get one than get one and not be prepared”. When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.

When you're prepared for opportunity, your chance for success is sure to come; for opportunity seldom come labelled. The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success. Success and failure are alike – they are both product of consistent effort. The tide of opportunity comes to everyone.
Even to you.

Success Is A Choice

There are no age limits on when you can transform your life. Change is possible at any time. It is essential if you want to grow. You have control over your life. Success or failure is up to you. “Many live their life likea candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset but When the rain sets in…”. The truth is do you wish to live your life that way or change it with a positive ideology – “no matter what comes my way, I’m going all the way?” It’s a matter of choice – a product of your decision.

You control how lucky you are. You create your wealth with your effort. The doubts you'll experience along the way are part of life. Make a plan to attain your success and stick to it. Your life is a marathon, not a short sprint.

Accept total responsibility for your actions and remove "QUIT" from your vocabulary. Decide you want success and it can be yours. Success is always your choice.

The Real Me

I am an introvert artist
That carries his brush wherever he goes
Should there be a need to cover up
So the real me never shows

I’m always afraid to let it show
Because I’m scared what you might do
Friends had derided and said mean things
I’m afraid I might loose new friends and also you

I will for once paint a true picture
To show you alone the real true me
But I want you to try and understand
I need you to accept everything you see

So if you’ll be patient and close your eyes
I’ll take my time to paint it steady and slow
Please understand how much it hurts
For me to let the real me show

Now that I have painted myself uncovered
I feel naked, bare and cold
And if you still love me with all that you’ve seen
Then you are my friend pure as gold

I shall treasure this little picture of mine
Though, I hold it daily in my hand
I want to keep it firm and handy
In case I meet many that would understand

So please protect the image you’ve seen
And thanks for telling me true
But please let me keep this image
Until I am able to love myself too

Freedom! Freedom!! Freedom!!!

Many years has passed us by
Yet no sign of a coming liberation
Our burden increase daily
At dusk we dine with affliction

Our fathers’ toiled day in day out
To satisfy the obnoxious task masters
Our mothers kept the chaste line strong
Despite all the promiscuous dangers

Our young and gorgeous daughters
Are used for pleasure and satisfaction
While our young and mighty men of valour
Were mainly used to stop opposition

Babies are abundantly born
In bondage they age and fade away
The strong being made susceptible to the weak
Hopes and dreams die each passing day

Every night with prayers of faith
Wondering when this madness would end
But all we see is Judas among us
Trying daily to be our comfort and friend

Who will remember us
Who will hear our humble cry
In disguise we are benevolence
Sitting idle gazing to the empty sky

WHAT’S THE SIZE OF YOUR HEART?

It isn’t the size of your house
That matters so much at all
It’s the gentle and loving touch
That makes you great or small

Friends old or new come and go
From thy bond would always depart
Would judge it not by the style you show
But rather by the size of your heart

It isn’t the size of your intelligent
It isn’t the wealth you found
That will make you happy at the end
But how well you touched the lives around

For making money is not a hard task
And to live LIFE well is nothing but an art
But how people love you and regard you
Only depends on the size of your heart.

YOUR TRIALS AND SORROWS DEVELOP YOU

Trouble is the common denominator of living. It's the great equalizer of life. Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change – “Personal growth equates income.” All growth means change and change always involves risks, stepping from the known to the unknown. All of your growth depends on activity. It only comes from continuous effort and struggle.

Life chips and pounds you to bring out your possibilities. She will strip you of wealth, humble your pride, humiliate your ambition, let you down from the ladder of fame, and discipline you in a thousand different ways, if she can develop a little character - everything gives way to that. Remember this “impression management rules the world.”

Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, and fame is nothing. Who you become inside is everything. What happens to you is not as important as how you react to what happens.

IN THE MIDDLE OF DIFFICULTY LIES OPPORTUNITY‏

You cannot have success without dealing with problems. Look for your opportunity in every difficulty instead of being paralyzed at the thought of difficulty in every opportunity. Each new experience brings with it the seed of your success. Even your current difficulties have within them opportunity. Like the Bible tells us that “…even the darkness shall be light to thee”

Welcome your problems as opportunities. Each moment is your greatest challenge and the best thing that ever happened to you; for opportunity seldom comes labeled.

The more difficult your problem, the greater the challenge in working it out. When it's dark enough, you can see the stars.

A FRIEND TO ME

Thank God for you – good friend of my
Seldom is our friendship as that of time
How very much I often wish to be
As helpful as you’ve been to me

When I recall from time to time
How you’ve inspired this heart of mine
I find myself inclined to kneel and pray
That the good Lord should guide you all the way

So often at His throne of grace I stand
Your face I see at his right hand
And then instructively I bow to pray
“God bless my dearest friend today”

Someday, I hope with you I’ll stand
Before His throne – at his right hand
And say to you as my journey comes to end
“Praise God, You’ve been to me a dear friend”

EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE

No one has a corner on success. Success is for everyone – anyone; whosoever that can pay the price for it, success is yours.

There is no easy road to success. You’ve got to work a great deal harder than most people to get it. Like many successful people would say – “do the things today others won’t do in order to have the things tomorrow others won’t have.” Nothing worthwhile will come easily to you. Hard work will accomplish results that last.

No matter what you want from life, you've got to give up something to get it. There is no success at bargain basement prices. You'll find that the highway to success is a toll road. Some say that OPPORTUNITY seldom comes labelled. Its true!

SUCCESS IS A DETERMINED ACTION AWAY

Foolish people with all their other thoughts, have this one too. They are always getting ready to live, but never living. Your success will start when you begin to pursue it. To reach your goal or to attain success, you don't need to know all the answers in advance.
You just need to have a clear idea of what your goal is.

Don't procrastinate when faced with difficult problems. Break your problems into parts, and handle one part at a time – “one day at a time”.

Develop tendencies toward taking action. You can make something happen right now. Divide your big plan into small steps and take that first step right away, everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were. Your big opportunity is where you are right now.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Take it.

Things We Miss

You ran through your entire years
Not stopping to enjoy each passing day
And you took every guy you met for granted
As you traveled your primitive way

As you faced pain and ardent sorrow
Something inside pulled you through
That something was private and special
Sent from heaven for such a one as you

You never stopped to measure
The good tidings you carelessly miss
And since the world never did slowed down
You always miss the good night kiss

And now your tender heart seems heavy
Filled with regrets and a great deal of pain
No one dares to console you
But I say – remember this once again

Remember those you took for granted
Because they were too young to be called thine
And the precious moments you never started
Were the tender and lovely kisses of mine,

OPPORTUNITY APPEARS WHEN YOU ARE READY

Chance is turned into good fortune by successful people. You are surrounded by all kinds of opportunity. Luck is being at the right place at the right time. Taking advantage of an opportunity is always under your control. When you are mentally prepared the right opportunity will present itself.

Talent alone won't make you successful. Neither will being at the right place at the right time unless you are ready. When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

Goodbye – Good night

She never said goodbye
And I really can’t phantom why
This is not her first time
Does it mean she isn’t mine?

They say she found someone new
A young dude from the Big Boys crew
But to me it doesn’t seem to matter
She is for me – I won’t look for another

Her memory can’t fade – I love her that much
I would still love her if only we keep in touch
But where she’s headed I don’t know
Guess I’m left to wonder on my own

The past I can’t seem too much to forget
The present is too much to neglect
Anytime I remember – I break down and cry
Because she left without saying GOODBYE

Vision Your Goals

See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will go to work toward making your mental pictures come true. You have been given the capacity and the power to create desirable pictures inside your mind and to find them automatically printed in the outer world of your environment.

Picture yourself as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success. What you see in your mind you can really have.

THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT HARDSHIP

The world is so constructed that if you wish to enjoy its pleasures, you must also endure its pains. Like it or not, you cannot have one without the other. Success is not measured by what you accomplish. It's measured by the opposition you encounter, and the courage with which you maintain your struggle against the odds.

You'll find all things are difficult before they are easy. The greater your obstacles, the more glory in overcoming them. So, make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.

No pain, no gain;
No thorns, no throne;
No cross, no crown.

My Special Friend

When I have no one to turn to

And I feel kind of low,

When there is no one to talk to

And nowhere pleasing enough to go

I search deep within myself

It is the love inside my heart

That lets me know you are there

Even though we are miles apart

A smile then appears upon my face

Then the sun begins to shine

I hear a voice, so soft and sweet

Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'

It may seem that I am alone

But I am never by myself at all.

Whenever I need you near

All I have to do is call

Your Friendship is really true

On that I can depend

I will always stand beside you

And will always be your friend

Through darkest hours and brighter days

You have always seen me through

You are my one and only

Perhaps I am one for you.

YOU CAN OPEN ANY DOOR WITH CONCENTRATION

The first law of SUCCESS is concentration. Bend all of your energies to one point, and go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left. Just like those guys that meditate and within seconds a candle can go off or on. Concentration is the magic key that opens the door to accomplishment. In time, you can become what you earnestly desire to be, if you set your face in the direction of the things you want and bring all your powers to bear towards its attainment.

When your physical and mental resources are focused, your power to solve problems multiplies tremendously. To do two things at once is to do neither. Success is the result of well directed energy. Just like a sniper who points its gun at a set target and waits patiently till it locks, where he pulls the trigger and down goes the target. Focus is the key to concentration whereas concentration leads to success.

Nothing can add more power to your life as much as concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Commitment

You are never given a wish without also being given the POWER to make it come true. And speaking of power, we find out one truth that by believing and receiving Jesus Christ we have received power to become the son of GOD. Son of GOD here is a son who’s Father “owns a Carmel on a thousand hills”, a son who’s Father owns everything and would withhold nothing good from him. So what are we complaining about or what do we want that we can’t get? All we need to do is to Dream.

The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you COMMIT yourself to it. If you have the desire, you have the power to attain it. An uncommitted life is not worth living, therefore we must be committed – whatever it takes, ignore the consequence, there is always light at the other end of the tunnel.

You can have ANYTHING you want in life if you will sacrifice EVERYTHING else for it. You must learn to work SMART other than HARD as many are doing. So, are you willing to sacrifice everything in order to gain everything?

Your dreams can come true if you pursue them with commitment. Focus on your goal long enough would give you the big picture clear than ever before. Like the BMW philosopher would say “Where there's a will, there's a way.”

Dream On!

If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and yourself. Hold the image of yourself as you long to be, the image of what you long to attain, the image of health, efficiency and success. Reason? There are three things that are of great importance to all men and they include TIME – MONEY – HEALTH. If man can have these three things in a good proportion the poor would die less and the rich would struggle less.

You can lift yourself by your thoughts. Your vision will help you surmount the highest obstacles. High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation. What you see is what you get.

You'll become as small as your controlling desire, or as great as your dominant aspiration. The courage to follow your dreams is your first step toward destiny.You can live your dreams.

Same O'Gee

I’ve never being big in Lekki

Although I’ve been there a time or two

Playing locals was a great big deal

Now I’m on pro-league with the Adenuga’s and crew

Life indeed has a billion memories

My lips has a lot of good stories to tell

I’m just here doing my thing – hope you feel me

With my poems and lyrics – ones you love so well

From Victoria Island to A.J. Kingdom

All the way down Allen Avenue

Go tell the singles – married still searching

That the one and only OBIANO is coming through

Pass this message to friends and families

To turn all their mobile phones on

Then sit tight, relax and enjoy the attack

While I bring you great stuff and lots of fun

Don't Stop Dreaming

You don't have to buy from anyone.You don't have to work at any particular (white collar)job. Someone once gave the acronym of JOB to be Journey Of the Broke! You don't have to participate in any relationship. You can only chose. Life is a choice as well as decision. Decide within yourself to do the things today others are not willing to do in order to have tomorrow things others won't have. Choice!

You steer the course you chose in the direction of where you want to be today, tomorrow, or in any distant time to come. You hold the tiller. With a positive mindset of being your own boss you are in control of your own LIFE, HEALTH and TIME which is the three most essential commodities to life.

You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time. No one can ever take that away from you. You can decide what you want and go after it. It's always your next move that counts and not the first.

Start - And Move on!

The only way to start to improve your life is to START. Once you're sure you're on the right road there is no need to plan your journey too far ahead. Don't burden yourself with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar your progress.You can only take one step at a time.

You don't need to know all the answers in advance. Just maintain a clear idea of the goal you want to reach and the answers will come in their own time. If you can get up the courage to begin, you'll have the courage to succeed.

It's the job you never start that takes the longest to finish. Go after what you want and you'll get it. Eighty percent of success is showing up.

A Psalm of Life

TELL me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!—

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;

Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,

Is our destined end or way;

But to act, that each to-morrow

Find us farther than today.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,

And our hearts, though stout and brave,

Still, like muffled drums, are beating

Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world’s broad field of battle,

In the bivouac of Life,

Be not like dumb, driven cattle!

Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!

Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Act,—act in the living Present!

Heart within, and God o’erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime,

And, departing, leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,

Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,

A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,

Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us then, be up and doing,

With a heart for any fate;

Still achieving, still pursuing,

Learn to labor and to wait.

Happy Birthday

Dawn is slowly breaking
Party’s almost ended – friends are on their way home
I’m still at the office trying to round up
I’m sorry for your birthday I couldn’t come

Your present is hanging by your window pane
As well as behind your picture hanging on your wall
I know not how to present my gift to you late
But just know tis the greatest gift of all

The fire that burns between us is fading
And the love we once shared is in despair
I stand out here to do my bid and best
To let precious memoirs fill our polluted air

Through your emotions I can clearly see
That one day the scales from your eye would fall
And knowing that you were once in love with me
Tis my greatest gift of all

And just before I say goodnight and go to sleep
I hear my mobile phone softly ring
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you my love”
Is the song it beautifully sings

And so I say a silent birthday wish
For you my love amid great and small
Long life and great prosperity all day long
Tis from me to you the greatest gift of all

God Bless You

If tomorrow should come with its sorrows and pain

And I lost all I’ve worked for all my life

And I had to start life all over again

With my unborn child and no wife

I’ll first thank my God above

To be living my life out today

Because his blood stills stands for salvation

And nobody can take that from me away

I’m proud to be a Christian

For to me salvation was given free

And I won’t forget the deeds on Calvary

Where He handed that exclusive right to me

And I’ll stand next to Bride Believers

And keep contending for the faith till today

For there ain’t no doubt – I love God’s people

“God’s Bless You” is all I have to say.

Thank You

While the world disregarded me

As I struggled through life alone

Friends confirmed that I am nothing

And have nothing to call my own

I am neither popular nor well known

And my clothes are barely new

I barely have a three figure steady income

But I always thank God that I have you

In my heart I always rejoice

On my lips there is a song

Thank you for showing me love

To prove these testimonies wrong

Having you is all that matters

Though this little world would never see

Thank you for every thing

Especially for your love towards me

I’m glad to have a roof up above me

And a comfy place to sleep and breath

There is now delicacies on my table

I got sandshoes to put on my feet

I now know what it means to love

And for once a happy family

I want to say thank you

For your love towards me

YOU’LL ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH TIME IF YOU USED IT WISELY

Your dilemma goes deeper than having a shortage of time, it's basically a problem of priorities. Most people leave undone those things that should be done, while they do things that they shouldn't be doing. Consider this little illustration and see how much we spend on trivial things and less to lucrative prospect.

It is said that all man though born unequal share one equal phenomenon and that is TIME – the 24 hours of the clock. The rich, the poor, the lame, blind, hurt, the president of united states of America and the poorest lad in Africa all share this same phenomenon and equal in space. But the difference lies in “how” they utilize it. While the president thinks how to better himself as well as the lives of his subjects the lad thinks of himself alone.

If all men has equal right to this 24hours then how do we spend it is a question we all should Selah about. Let’s divide twenty-four hours by three i.e. (24 ÷ 3) = 8, we would get an equal answer of eight a piece.
So lets philosophize how well we have been spending these eight hours in terms of lucratively or just prodigally.
Eight Hours for SLEEP – and no one messes with that
Eight Hours for WORK – that could also include anything we do for a living i.e. school, is included.
Seeing that work and sleep is covered what do we use our remaining eight hours for? Many get caught in traffics, watch movies to while the time, do some things that barely put money into our pocket and at the end of the day complain for not having enough time.

Set priorities for your goals. A major part of successful living lies in your ability to put first things first. Most major goals are not achieved because people put second things first.
Is what your doing getting you closer to your objectives? Anything that is wasted effort represents wasted time.
Don't serve time, make time serve you.

BEAUTY AND THE STRANGER

Young as a circus parade
Pretty as a glass of pink lemonade
Dressed in a Gucci spaghetti gown
On the head a golden crown

Oil of Olay for the skin to supple
Lips naturally coloured in reddish purple
With dimples to edify the face
Queen of the night boost grace

With rhythmic steps that rhymes a tune
Bangles dangle in rhythm that is new
With a diamond wedding ring in the hand
I wondered who would be her husband

The lovely lips that has not been bussed
The hips that has not been touched
The blue eye that has never seen evil
The tender voice that has never wimple

The bust that stands like the Twin Tower
The sweet smell that ooze like a hibiscus flower
The lethal smile that determines fate
The lovely face that gives faith

Who is this creature without a name?
Who is this being that placates pain?
She changed the tune of my life
I don’t mind calling her My Wife!
