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.

TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz Prizes

The buzzer ignited the excitement in my veins for many years. I grew up watching TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz and I saw it as a means of once again unifying the nation through friendly rivalry. As the years rolled by things started to change and the blatant favouritism could be seen coming from our television screens. The power of some of the more prominent high schools would allow them to end up in the winning circle. Apart from the fun element turning into some what of a war each year, what has changed drastically is the awarding of the various prizes at the end. Throughout the years we could expect to see students from some of the participating schools coming forward to collect their various prizes at the end of the competition. We looked forward to hearing what the students would be awarded for their hard workout throughout the season. Apparently, this was deemed to be too much of a problem to broadcast so it was eliminated completely. All we see now is the winner collecti

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
