BARE-FEET TO HIGH HEELS

With speed like that of a thunder clap
The din of soft little bare-feet
Veered into sounds of sharp high heels
hmmm, she's growing into a woman

With tempo likened to that of a lightening bolt
She's now grown from pampers
Into puberty, now with sanitary pads
Yeah! she's welcome to the world of womanhood

With speed like that of light
She's dispatched from the train of childhood
Now struggling with self-discovery in adulthood
Indeed these are grand steps into womanhood

From a wild, mischievous and shabby look
Into a face adorned with cosmetics and youthful radiance
The outside beauty is sure but the inside

Why am i who i am? she ponders
Why do i feel vulnerable and incomplete, she ponders
Or am i just a beautiful container made by my maker?
Maybe  i was coupled with a purpose and and qualities altogether

A woman like Rebecca i can be
Cos though pretty yet lived a life of purity
Not like our beautiful Racheal
Oh! very attractive but yet futive

A woman like Esther i should be
Prayerful yet adorned with wisdom and humility
Not acting like beautiful Vashti
Whose disobedience and pride came before her fall

A total woman is one who fears the Lord
With qualities like our lady in proverbs 31
Hey! are you just a container with feminine attributes?
If yes, make a change today and take a step into total womanhood

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

A mother's love

Its a love so divine and true A mother's love cannot be compared to another It is as sweet as honey... A taste that remains palatable Throughout a lifetime Her love is as warm as wool She goes through the hustle and bustle To ensure that life for her child is pretty cool As steady as a rock Mother's love remains unchanged Amidst faults and wrongs of her child She forgives A mother's love is as gentle as a dove She's always there with a dose of love Mother remains patient as Job Through the thick  and thin Even the highs and lows Quietly  teaching  and  correcting  in love For the hope she has ...

SLAVERY AND ETERNITY

Kidnapped and stolen from homeland Their capture was brutal and inhuman For a terrible voyage each was branded Hot coals to the skin was much dreaded Packed into hot and dark holds of slave ships Everything were they given accompanied by whips Surviving a loathsome and terrible voyage Death was an only way out of bondage Years have passed since slave trade ended Still many live in fear and some in hatred Some willfully go into worst slavery Thinking not of freedom because they move freely Unfortunately everyone is born a slave But can choose to whom he/she is enslaved Fearfully many go for evil And become slaves to the devil When oft with luxury they are blindfolded Many forget life after they are dead But unto God we are not slaves but sons Wearing crowns as bright as the sun On the day of that great morning When in beauty it shall be dawning Which gate unto you shall be open That to peace or to an oven Written by Precious Eze For Favour Bulletin
