SEASONS

At morning
The cock crew
Announcing a new day
Time to wake
Time to learn
Time to grow

In a twinkle of an eye
The afternoon came by
The sun shone brightly
Time to work
Time to earn
Time to put learning into practice

Tick tock went the clock
And the night showed up
Oh night!
A time to rest
And time to reap

What have I achieved?
I asked myself
The light of the sun, moon and stars
Are all gone dim before my eyes
What a seasonal change!

My once strong arms are trembling
My legs are now weak
My teeth are now few
Even the sounds i used to enjoy
I hear them no more

My hair has turned white
Like almond blossoms
Oh! i'm soon going to my final resting place

But rejoice thou young man
You are yet in your morning season
Be strong, learn and work
For the night cometh
When no man can work

You may be in a situation where people have looked at your life and termed you 'useless'. The good news is that even though you are a cultist, a thief, a fornicator, an adulterer or the likes, Jesus is ready to change your story. Onesimus was reintroduced to Philemon, his slave master urging him to take him back stating that ''Formerly he was useless to you but now he has become usef...

THINK OF THIS

How good is a house if its not a home How good is a tree if it bears no fruits How good is a garden if it has no flowers How good is a clock if it cant tell the time How good is are friends if they cant care and share How good are eyes if they cant be used for sight How good are ears if they cant be used for hearing How good is a nose that cant be used for breathing How good are legs if they cant be used for locomotion How good is a mirror that cant reflect images How good is a phone that cant be used for calls How good is a heart that cant pump blood How good is a book that cant be read How good is a youth without a dream and How good if your life if you are not living for Christ Remember a life without Christ is a life in crisis written by Alice Asuquo
