She was the epitome of Grace,
The expression of beauty,
A paradise in one body,
Giving Joy as free as breath,
Eyes sharp as steel,
Words like heavens’ melody,
Pure as the mind of a newborn,
Character like the queen Esther.
But;
In one moment, a seed put to soil ,
In the next, a tree of discontent,
Just one moment to lay her back, and her walls came falling with such loud silence.
Just one glimpse at the world behind, she turned back to see herself naked in the wind.
Now her shine is going out,
buried under everything she tried to keep out.
Deep from the dark she calls for Light, who will save her?
wrapped in the wings she once soar on.
Sitting right beneath all her fears and mistakes.
Joy has become a myth and a legend.
Who will restore her?
And you ask…Who is she?
She is the fallen Angel
She who forgot how to fly
And her way home is a strange road
She calls out for Light….Father show her your light.
Love; Shepher
She is a boss lady
Brought up to face her fears head-on
The world is a man’s world, daddy says;
Her society makes success feel like passing through a wall, but guess what? She did.
Daddy said, ‘stand tall, you cannot be wrong, you cannot be tired, keep pushing,
Show them more than what you think you are,
Compete, push, win, never stagger…. just win’.
Now she is at crossroads and she must lose her all to be happy.
All the things she held on to; her pride, her perfection, everything.
She must lose all and allow herself be molded anew,
She must learn to share her shine,
She must know that there is so much more than self,
She must learn to let it go.
How can she live?
Can she face this final wall?
Can she work through this castle she built for herself to hide her faults and weaknesses?
Can she let herself loose?
Can she let go?
But she knows that He knows her from birth till date,
she knows that He never will forsake her (Deut 31:6),
She knows that He knows her better than she knows herself (Jer 1:5)
She decided to hold His right hand, one step after the other (Isaiah 41:13)
The dictionary describes it as “to make (something) completely free from faults or defects; make as good as possible.”
Synonyms include;
Improve, better, polish (up), burnish, hone, refine, consummate, put the finishing/final touches to, ameliorate, brush up, fine-tune.
Our society says it is living according to a set of rules.
But how can it be, how could perfection be reduced to nothing but a box?
Perfection is personal.
It is exploring beyond your best self.
It is going beyond the person you are today.
Perfection is everything put together;
It is the scars that form your battle marks.
It is the pain that keeps you on your feet.
It is the loss that defines mortality.
It is the gain that rewards hard work.
It is the memories that give you 50years in a flash.
It is the people in your life.
It is the love that shapes you anew.
It is those moments you look in the mirror and talk right back.
It is the moments that remind you that God is real.
It is the tears that tell the most important tales.
It is the smile that gives unspeakable strength.
It is the moments of laughter that you share with the people you love.
It is the joy that you are still standing today.
Ultimately; it is the PEACE that fights everyday before you, piercing through the fog.
It is looking back and having that sense of accomplishment.
PERFECT is the mind of God each day for you (Jeremiah 29:11)
God bless you

A Queen lives beneath the thorns,
She blossoms all year but she can’t see the shine through her scars,
Her scent, unbelievably sweet…how would she know?
Her colors are glorious, but she is all buried in dirt,
She never withers, why does she feel naked?
Who will give her a helping hand?
Who will help her out of her shell?
In the shadow of color and light,
From the depth of beauty and grace,
A girl with the heart of gold,
But a heart so insecure, who could she trust?
Her mind in search of courage,
She searches deep within to find herself,
She prays each day for a savior,someone to rescue her from herself,
Save me, hold me ….. she calls out.
She calls out for LOVE
She is completely exhausted….. tired of all the lust, tired of this world
She calls out to the world above,
She calls out to the one most supreme
She calls out for MERCY and GRACE,
She is hanging by a thread here… anyone please help me!!!
And HE comes….
As a friend, father, brother, lover, healer, wisdom, guide…
He shows up as anything she wants Him to be,
He took away the shell and held her up to her feet,
Dusted the dirt all out and let her glory out,
She now can see the perfection in her scars,
She can now feel LOVE, know LOVE, and she will always hold on to LOVE
JESUS LOVES YOU!!!
God bless you

Dear Motherland, my Nigeria.
I wish you knew how much you had in you,
I wish you understood your worth,
I wish you can see through the riches… you would see the wealth,
I wish you would remember the labour of your heroes past,
They fought with everything they had to make today better,
They gave their lives so that you don’t have to give yours’,
The held onto a cause, “a noble cause”…. what do u hold on to now?
They freed you from the chains that bound you outside,
How can you now bind yourselves from your inside?
“One nation bound in freedom” they thought,
Yet you bind yourselves with chains of corruption and greed.
They hoped that the young will grow to work and explore their potentials;
And the old will teach them, give the wisdom of experience.
Today…. Nigeria;
what have you become?
what have you made yourselves?
Why have you not grown?
Why do people still give up their lives?
Why do your children still die of hunger?
Why are the young still idle and unmotivated?
Why do the old still work so hard?
Why are you known for so much war?
Why is the labour of your past fathers buried and forgotten?
“ARISE OH NIGERIA, NIGERIA’S CALL OBEY”

My mother
I wish I could know you more
I wish I could see you more
I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could tell you how I feel
I wish you could teach me more
I wish I could touch you
I wish I could laugh with you again
I wish I could be angry at you again
it’s been a long time;16 whole years.
And it still feels like yesterday
I may not be able to remember your face so well anymore…..
But I feel your heart,
I feel the impact you had on me.
I feel all the work you did on me .
I see the answers to your prayers.
I manifest all the wisdom you gave to me.
I grow each day and I see you in me.
I wake up everyday with the courage you showed me I had within.
I see the world through the love you taught me
I look in the mirror and I see you smile at your child.
I don’t cry anymore because I know where you are right now.
I don’t blame God anymore, because He has never let me lack the love you would have given me.
I love you mom…..16yrs ago, now and always.
There are those nights that you cried so hard, your chest actually starts to hurt.
Those nights when you hugged your pillow so hard you thought it would melt.
You thought so deep that you had a migraine.
You hurt so much, you just wish someone could take the pain away…. you just want a break from all the pain.
Mornings that you just want to keep sleeping because your dreams are better than what you’re waking up to.
Those days you were so close to screaming out so loud that you had to cover your mouth to stop yourself.
Those days you went out with all the confidence, you put it all out there and you got noting back.
Those days that you thought “nothing could go wrong anymore…. I’ve got it all under control” and it all just burst….. it just falls like a mighty work of clay.
Those times when prayer isn’t just what you feel like doing.
Those days that you just ask yourself….. What in the name of God am I doing?
Those days that all you have is this …. “ As long as there is life there is hope”
We all have those moments…. those days…. when you just wanna cry to let some pressure out
But I always try to remember;
(Deuteronomy 31:8) He will never leave/fail or forsake me.
And never forget;
(Jeremiah 1:5) He has my future set and perfect.
Because all I know is,
He holds me.
He never leaves me
He is taking me
I cannot be alone
I cannot be abandoned
I cannot get lost
And even if I do, I will surely be found.
With love,
Shepher
I may be bruised and broken,
I’m glad you know I’m still in there.
I may seem far from your reach,
I know you will keep reaching out for me.
I may not see my full potential,
I know you will always believe in me.
I cannot know the extent of your love for me,
I know you will never give up on me.
I may even give up on myself,
I remember the breath that gave me life will never give up.
I may never be content with the plenty I have,
Teach me to understand that you are ALL I need.
I may refuse to let go of my past,
I receive grace to know the future is perfect.
I may have so much to re-learn about trust,
Teach me to know you will never fail me.
The uncertainties of my world may always be a burden,
But help me to find peace in your promises to me.
The world around me may continue to darken
I receive grace to be light up on a hill
I may always be uncertain about this world I find myself,
Help me to remain sure of the God that I believe in.
With love,
Shepher.
