The depth of your love is unfathomable. Its burning fire is unquenchable. When I was drowning down the sea, You're the savior I see. When water welled up my face, You wiped off my tears and have my past erased. I was careless about you, yet you cared more for me. My life was shattered, yet for whom I was you love me. You are my warming heat in the cold season. You're timely for me in all season. When erred, you became the punishment for my wrong. Your love for me is too strong. Too strong, that I can never recover from it. My soul you rescued from death and hell. A new life you will to me, Tell to the world, it's good news, your command to me. All my life, this I will live to proclaim and tell. I may not know many things But I'm sure I know your love I know all I possess here are temporal But your love is eternal This love ain't performance base For nothing I'd ever done qualify me To earn this love Loving father you are, and y...

The summary of our discussion last week is that confidence is doing. That reminds of one of my secondary school friends. He's tall, light and handsome. But he didnt' have the courage to ask ladies out. He admired them at a distant but to let cat out of the bag he could not. There was a day he sent one of us to a certain girl he admired. The person he sent knew his challenge of not being able to talk to ladies. All he hoped was that the guy would do everything on his behalf. But he did otherwise, he just called the lady for him without telling her anything.  He just did a little introduction and left the two of them on the scene.  My coward friend was there at a spot dancing and muttering same thing again and again. Such that it was obvious to the girl that he was afraid to talk to her. But later voiced out though. That single encounter instilled confidence in him. However, the girl laughed. Confidence is not about being right always, it is about doing it without the...

I have been trained to be focused and make my eye single. I was trained to be bold and to a great extent I am. However the world view me as a coward. Not long after I graduated from the university many folks asked if I was in any platonic relationship with any ladies and the answered was and still no. they all jumped into conclusion that I was afraid to approach ladies. Perhaps I was! In one of my random thoughts I asked myself sincerely if I could express myself in front of any damsel! I knew I could it but in order to clear any element of doubts deep down the recess of my heart I made up my mind to start asking ladies out just for the fun of it. Lol  One day while coming from the school where I used to do part-time teaching, was fortunate to sit beside a melanin adorned damsel. Since I wanted to test my confidence level, I approached her not minding other passengers in the bus. After series of persuasion I got her mobile phone number.  If Im not mistaken, never ca...

This love story is too complex to be told But know this, I can't trade you for gold Though you whisked me to friend zone I never cease to think you're my own I feel like holding you now But this seems like swimming through the Atlantic Yet,  I'm holding you tight where you can't escape You hid yourself away from me Yet,  I behold your face daily Where you can't hide Know this, you're always in my heart Where I hold and daily behold you You kept mute, because of me Yet, I chat your heart every moment am awake Thought of you quakes my heart Never mind my many misdeeds Just love me because I love you Let me hang my pen,  till next time we meet I remain...

Believe of some is that the world is that of men, but in the real sense it is not. They believe men are these and that. But some of these things that society think are in their favor are really against them.  So many things have been written against them in the volume of books. Many believe that there is no such thing as devil but the real devil is man. I know some are conversant with these words, men are green snake under the green grass. That idiom simply means men are evil that cannot be easily identified. That is how society mirror men. If theres misunderstanding in marriage that graduate to divorce the blame is on man. Even in a broken relationship men are mostly condemning for whatever might have led to the break up. Men are their own friends and as well enemies. Even fellow men have written many things against their own kind. I met a man on a bike one day who told me the story of a man who suffered over his children but at a point when the man supposed to be reaping...
