Heed the song from Africa!
Echoes from Sahara to The Atlantic.
Land of towering and valiant ancestry,
enduring hearts, persevering spirits.
Propaganda, the devourers surfaced.
Breeding strife with great gusto.
Ravaging wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Subtle sophistry, their ultimate weapon.
Alas! the twilight’s clarion call.
Retributive justice tailing its harbinger.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Inevitable destiny, apparently forgotten.
Wail oh land! Groan in profound anguish.
Cradle of beauteously diverse heritage.
Pride of the golden age.
Dancing in utter desolation.
Like the seemingly purposive moth,
roasting and stewing in their own juice.
In vain, their toil and labour.
To the land, will there be succour.

WITH THIS WOMAN…!
The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you will see… Winston Churchill.
Yeah! She was cool and cute in a way I really can’t find the right words to describe. It was actually at a period when I was fast developing a carefree attitude towards me. I had an idea of what the big picture is like but the pieces are not just coming together and so I start to make some certain flawed assumptions about the reality of my situation. Maybe it was an issue of unrealistic expectations or I was just being plain stupid to be thinking I’ll be discerning enough to be able to tell when she comes along. I have always been a firm believer in you taking charge of your life but experience has also taught me that you really can’t be too careful about some things in life, and when you make some certain decisions or take some certain steps that seems to produce wonderful results, it really does not mean you are smart or you had it all figured out but it could actually be because nature (I think it’s God) has decided to put the odds in your favour. Anyway that’s sort of a story for another day but this was indeed why I did felt I should cast my cares on Him and watch Him make it happen.
We were first introduced to each other by a friend but it wasn’t until two years later that we really did became friends. She had to prove a point by coming to visit me (something she rarely does) and we just kind of bonded from then. Our friendship blossomed and we sort of grew into each other. Without realizing how lucky I had been, she fitted perfectly into the big picture and became my inspiration. Inspite of being my dream come true, it actually took another two years to get her convinced (thanks to God, anyway) that we’re made for each other. It was a fresh start for us. The friendship became deeper and we became inseparable. She became a big blessing… beauty, brain, virtue rolled into one and I can confidently tell you, it’s been loving, caring, sharing and building each other ever since. My attitude has changed for the better and I have come to believe, He’s working all things together for our good. We’re just soaring higher.
There comes a time in life when, God help you, you find that special one that makes you complete, inspires you and cause you to look forward to a blissful future. I have searched and toiled and lucky me, I have found true love. With this woman (I call her My Sunshine!) I want to grow old and fulfill purpose. What more could a man ask for? My Valentine!
