From the depth of sin He called you forth Cos like a sheep, you went astray But as a caring shepherd He brought you to the way Your sins he washed away And your debts He had to pay Crown of thorns He chosed to wear Your very sins He accepted to bear With His life, He paid the price That costly price you lacked to pay Therefore by right of redemption You are His possession You must show full appreciation And live unto God in TOTAL SUBMISSION Alice Asuquo

BEYOND THE SMILES On the face A smile is seen So radiant, colourful and beautiful It's such a lovely curve That can put things straight And change even the worst state But what about the inside? A look beyond the smiles Could reveal heaps of pain Hurts of the past Insecurities of the present And fears for tomorrow A load of smiles Yet worries piles For a long while Just like a million miles In different places We see different faces Different smiles In different styles But look beyond the smiles And save the troubled soul Covered with the mask called SMILE Alice Asuquo

By and by the journey began Little by little, he became a man It wasn't easy but the race he yet ran To himself, he said 'yes i can' His drive was the passion His life was the mission His wife was the vision Meticulously, he minds his action Knowing there's a mansion Prepared  by God in a divine fashion In the land of the living, God is his portion To every detail he pays attention Yet he cares for nothing, not even a mouse Wherever he goes, he needs not announce Self control, he takes from the house That's why those on skirts and blouse His emotions, they wont arouse Year by year he becomes better Equipped to accomplish the latter The reason for living, in his heart lies the matter He's a brother in need Young, yet a father in deed A master, he takes the lead In due season, he sows his seed Out of his belly, flows a river Living water that flows forever As the boys would say 'he's got the liver' Dine and wine he would...

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...

Ever wondered why many people have still decided not to go to church and probably give their lives to Christ? The answer might simply be........BECAUSE OF YOU '"I went to church as they invited me to, but i was surprised to see you dressed in your most holy attire and acting so seriously. Later i heard them say its testimony time and i saw you stepping out in a very happy mood and you behaved as the holiest of them all. I was confused and began to doubt within me if it was you or someone else. I finally decided to listen to you and i heard you give a testimony unto salvation. Immediately, i made a decision not to receive salvation if that was all about it.  I sat in bewilderment, but i still decided to stay. i was still surprised to see you and your clique singing the praise and worship songs with a very loud voice and i could not help but wonder. Is this what church is all about? I saw pretense and hypocrisy everywhere. I continued to think..... was it not you who clubbe...

A VIRTUOUS WOMAN Just like a pearl amongst stones She can be picked out among women So beautiful and precious She's faithful and priceless For her price is far above rubies Oh, what a virtuous woman! Strength and honour clothe her She's so creative Providing businesses that are lucrative She engages in business Thereby neglecting idleness Indeed, she's a joy to her family A pride to her husband A blessing to all And a gift to her world ...Prov 31  (Dedicated to all women who uphold the virtues of womanhood)                       Alice Asuquo

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 Alice Asuquo
