The Words Of An Obaahemaa

What I wanted I’ve realized I can’t always have What I wanted, But always had what I needed. I always wanted friends But I always had the friends I needed. They’re always there to comfort me, They get to study and know me As they have to. They understand my actions And correct me when I’m wrong. There are times where; There’s shedding of tears, There’s holding of hands Assuring ourselves we’re always There for each other; There’s great laughter and joy. They know we’re are not perfect But have the ability Of becoming so. We understand each other Whether in pain or sadness And joy or happiness. We’ve always got each other’s Back covered. We stand in the gap for each other And remember to always Say a word of prayer. I’m happy to always have What I needed. Even though I never get what I wanted.

No ‘Friend’ Always thought I had a friend, But I just realized it’s always Been just a dream. I’ve been dreaming all this while! I thought this one was going to be real, Was going to be different Was going to be understanding Was going to be … oh my God! I’ve been fooled, I fooled myself into Believing I was finally going to be happy. Now I’m all alone;friendless. It’s heartbreaking It’s kills to know a friend Cant be called a friend no more. So this how Christ feels Whenever he reaches out to us But we respond with our backs turned at him. You only understand this hurt and pain When you go through this experience Not only experiencing it. But He keeps loving us Never giving up No matter the circumstance. I’d still love ‘friend’ I’ve always dreamt of.

Facts of Nature I don’t know that but It’s not breaking up, It’s juust staying away From you. I llove you The way I always do. My love for you has not change And I don’t think it’ll ever change. It’s a matter of the period of time In which we are now. It’s not understandable Neither is explainable. Our friendship holds But no more as before. The fire is partially quenched And can’t be rekindled. Even if it is, not as it used to be Before- Anymore. It’s now time we find our ways, Find the places we belong, We don’t belong together And can’t force to be Because it’s a fact of nature. It hurts it has to be This way but Who know the future, Maybe we’ll meet again But always knows I still love you and Will never stop loving you.

My love became my hate I woke this day only to be in the face How much of a fool I’ve been all this while Trusting a ‘man’. Is any ‘man’ worth my love? Love can only hurt when Material things is what is desired And it’s shown on the wrong person. True love never hurts. No matter the trouble, No matter the circumstance. Love is perfect. I allowed myself to be fooled By the tongue of a ‘man’. He appeared as an angel Only to be revealed as the devil himself- In human form. He found a place in my heart, Made me almost lose my stand. He’s a perfect definition for ‘opportunist’. This is pure wickedness To let a heart love you Only for you to drop and crush it. All hope not lost With God ever present, Love will never runs out. He mends and repairs The broken spirit and crushed heart; And returns the smile to the face Of this pitiful soul. This will be my forever reminder To learn to love a ‘man’ The way he deserves only- Ne...

My Father Before I can into existence God had everything planned out He decided to give me a Father An earthly Father The one who was going to be Physically part of my life Availing himself to be used as a vessel By God, My Heavenly Father To teach me To lead To correct me To pick me up when I am down To care for me To share with me in my times of joy and need To love Love which is a foundation of the world God is love When I was a little child He taught me How to communicate with My Heavenly Father He stood by my side when I opened My mouth to say a prayer He said, " begin by saying, My Heavenly Father" He helped me to understand that The most important man in my life is God He didn't take the praises for himself When he could Today  God knowing how great the responsibilities He gave my father Has granted me an opportunity By allowing me and also my father see this day To appreciate him To give him a...
