Happy Mother's Day



Close your eyes and imagine a world without the love of a mother
When things are hard and we can't seem to  find the answers 
Just whisper the problems to mama and she would always provide the answers
Whenever we fell down she was the one to lift us high and tell us "Hush nuh mind mi chile"
Learning was always a must no matter if the cost of the books were sky high
" Work with what you have my child, better will come in a little while"
When food was short she never allowed our bellies to rumble 
Out of the smallest of flour she made big dumplings for the community to devour
Is there anything greater than a mothers love for a child?

Even the beatings we got we can smile about now
The beatings taught us discipline and respect
We had to say good day or good night to whoever we met
Mother's arms were so comforting it took all the burden away
Mother's smile was so reassuring that she was the best remedy for my pain
Mother's voice was so powerful that she took all my doubts away
Mother's dress was so dignified she made me know how much I was worth
Mothers messages were so heart warming I became an inspiration to others
Mother's prayers were so heart-provoking I knew the lord was always watching over me
Mother was so friendly I never felt alone 
Mother was so knowledgable millions of books could never provide the wealth of knowledge she bestowed 
A mothers love is always with us no matter how much wrong we have done 
A mothers love is always understanding no matter how unappreciative we have become
A mothers love stretches further than the love of her sons and close loved ones 
A mothers love warms the heart of those who never had their very own mother to love and learn from
A mother leads the future with just the powerful words from her tongue
A mother made us the strong men and women we have now become
So with all of my heart I say thanks to  the mothers who have loved us all
I pray for those who bow their heads low because they gave no love to their child
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers who lift their heads high 
This is my poem of appreciation to all the mothers far and wide.

Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no  conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be. The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemb...

Be more thankful

It's so easy for us to complain it's like we do it everyday. Are we more thankful for the blessings we have no matter how small they seem? It seems to me that more than ever people are more ungrateful than they are grateful. No matter how bad things are always remember that they could be much worse. Our house isn't big so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a house. Our pay cheque is small so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a job. Our skin isn't flawless so we complain instead of be thankful that we still have our skin to protect our bodies. Our body isn't sculpted perfectly so we complain instead of being thankful that all our body parts are still functioning. Our world is very ungrateful and we can never seem to be satisfied no matter how many blessings we have. This week I ask of you to be thankful for something everyday no matter how small it may seem.

This World

  A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look...
