The Words Of An Obaahemaa

First Christmas Together Apart I remember the very moment we met, It’s a memory so priceless And can’t be shared with Simple words. I remember when you said The “words”, I laughed for no reason; They were not funny, But I just couldn’t help myself. I remember my reaction when You sat beside me for the first time, I discovered I had butterflies in my tummy. Our conservation was so freely flowing Like we had known each other from Adam. I wish the moments we shared never ended; The days were longer than 24 hours, There were no seas to put such A long distance between us. I dream of a season and time When our clothing is the only distance That stands between us. Ur journey has been lovely and beautiful With a few ugly bumps on the way. The Christmas season closes in so fast on us. I can’t wait for the day when We would shop for the perfect Christmas tree, And spend the whole nights decorating it. The night which would be filled with ...

Apology accepted Every day was new And will forever be new. The pain you caused was to me A great lesson and experience, It transformed me, It became an eye opener, It made me since it had no power to break me, It gave me the opportunity, To detect the real from the counterfeit, It did more good than harm, It made me extra careful With every step I took And every decision I made. One thing is for sure, Everybody who walks into your life Either adds to or drains from your life It's a wonder; a voice that once sent chills down my spine Now causes a tremor in my being; But My Lord says "Fear not" "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy Both soul and body in hell." I’m free! I’ve let go of all the pain And burden in my heart. I’m free! I have found great joy and love Which beats my imagination and soul’s delight, But there's a final step; Forgiveness! Forgivin...

I just know Today, I smile There are trillion of reasons to smile Or to laugh. The joy I feel inside can’t be expressed with words. A tiny little bird once whispered to me, “You will just know” And true to these words, I just know. Despite my all efforts in denying it for a long time, I just knew. I did ‘things’ due to this denial, All I got was cuts and bruises, Very deep and nasty ones. But just one day, All made sense, My denial made very conspicuous things Very blur before my eyes. Just then, It was very glorious, Like a colourful garden of pretty flowers in spring. I just didn’t want to sleep anymore Because my reality was sweeter than my dreams. Do you believe in “magic”? I never did till “that day”. I smile whenever I'm reminded of “that day”. I haven’t still found words To document this occurrence. Writing about love Is more of trying to explain Who God’s parents are. Or trying to describe An indescr...

The Internal Storm She kept wondering how She was able to heal fast From all the hurts and pain You caused her. All that fear that crept into her heart. She looks back at all those times She shed tears for you, Not just over your love and the pain it brought her But also over your life. She kept praying that just one day You would understand What it means to love. She looks back and Cannot believe how deep She had to compromise Just trying to save her ‘relationship.’ The boundaries she ignored, The attention she paid, She could say she become ‘attention-bankrupt’, The hours spent on knees interceding on your behalf, Pleading with God to take absolute control Of her ‘relationship’. She tells me with tears running down her cheeks, “I loved him but he just didn’t love me.” He told her everyday How much he loved her But they were just words, Mere words! Empty words with no action. Love is not just confessing with your lips,...

The Healing Process It has been easier than I thought It would be. The first days were just So emotional and tough. How unfair life could have been At such a crucial moment? My mind has decided to go blank On this issue. The people I thought hated me Actually had my well-being At heart. Never take anyone for a fool Sometimes a person decides To act naive and all innocent But this doesn’t make him A fool. I thought my situation was Sad and worse But yours is very pathetic. I am grieving with you. Appreciate everyone and anyone. Watch your every word and action. Those who care about you are getting Tired and fed up. Bear in mind! Hang in there. Don’t give up on yourself. I have got your back. Even if you give up on yourself We are here for you.

My Plea to You.  You made me smile  Yet my heart was with someone else. I hurt you  But you were still there for me. You showed me more  Care and concern than anyone else  But I still couldn't love you I kept asking myself, why?  Why you? Why couldn't I love the one guy Who's ready to go the extra mile for me?  Is there any problem with me? Is it that I'm blind to see? Or deaf to hear?  Or dead to feel?  I'm sorry I couldn't love you the way you wish I should. I'm sorry you couldn't call me Your own. It hurts me more  Than you can imagine  That I couldn't love you. I promise to be there for you Whenever you need me As long as God grants us life. This is from the deepest part of my heart to you. I love you- My dearest friend.  Dedicated to You.

Precious You You have journeyed through life For all these years. Through the hardships and joyous times. You've been treated well by many, But others did otherwise. There have been those moments In your journey of life. Those moments known and experienced by You. You are blessing to every life in contact with you And lives you step into. Blessed mightily by the only Creator- God. Every minute and every second, Every micro-second and every nanosecond Of your life is very special, It shows not only the precious gem That you are, But your ultimate uniqueness. Also, how much of a treasure You are in the hands of the Lord God. Exactly some twenty-something years this day Family smiled. Life offers a lot Making the right choice is dependent on You. A lot of presents to choose from But I am not sure of which was the best And if I made a perfect choice for this occasion. Happy Birthday.

The Smiles Of The Hurt I may have lost a lot For being in this 'relationship' But seriously, I rather gained a lot more by Walking out. I gained memories that will Never match up To the memories yet to come. Experiences that made me better Not bitter. They teach me everyday How to be more and very prepared for the Better yet to come. Guess what! All I lost was the money I spent. Even with that, I know I will recover every pesewas And even in more than a double portion. Without any coming from you. Because I gave out willing and with a Cheerful heart. Giving is one of the gifts God blessed me with. I enriched and boosted my pride By standing my grounds And making the best choice- The choice of walking out Without looking back. I gained a valuable lesson. It pays to be patient And God's time is the Very best. My gains over-weigh my losses All glory to God.  Dedicated to YOU.

The Reason for the Season…. This is a season of love. A season in which I have to smile And not frown To laugh Not to cry A season which I have to share Much more than I've received. A season in where the family is one Where the love shared binds Tightly than ever And clears all pain that Have existed for many decades. It is yet another time To review the resolutions made. It's much more satisfying If much has been achieved. Anything else can't Change the real reason for This season. And what is the reason For the season?

About me Suddenly, the lights went off And it got me thinking. It felt as though that's The way my life had become One moment there's light Then in less than a second It's gone. It felt like I had lost everything, And all hope was lost. You seem to be missing When I needed you the most. The times when my heart hurts The times when the pain is unbearable The times when life burns and taste So bitter. There's so much anger in me And I've no idea on how to let it out, But I need to. I need to, in order to move on And live. I know it's the fault of no one. I'm really hurt and bleeding. I may seem so tough But as human as I am I've got a soft spot. I won’t call it a weakness. Forgiveness is an easy task But forgetting is something else. What is forgiveness without Forgetting? Forgiving you was so divine And not for any other reason. Sometimes I wonder Who am I? And what happened to the ot...

Just a Thin Layer of Coating.        We never wake up one morning With an expectancy of the Occurrence of  certain events. Some of these  leave us with A smile on our faces, Others with tears running down our cheeks. Sadness, a stranger whenever It arrives in our lives, Is a feeling Not so new to us. There's so much pain in our hearts But we know the pain won’t Last so long, For joy come with our morning. And our morning is just A second away from our night. We receive healing of All our hurts and pain From the Most High God ---Our Almighty Father Who sees and watches Over us always. Sadness is just a thin layer Of coating Over our happiness. And our happiness is just A disguise over our joy. Our real joy is that everlasting Feeling , from God,that mere Utterance of words Can't explain.         ...

One day at a time , The one day a year is here. A special day in everyone's lives But differs from a person  To the other. A day filled with joy And of memories that are longed To be lived again- For some people. A day that brings back All the hurts and pain Reminding a person of The past that is wished to be forgotten- To others. In order to enjoy life To the fullest, It's best to live it One day at a time As though it was your last day On earth, And the transition step To the beginning of your life In eternity.

The Love of my Life I'm far more precious than the way I'm treated My father kept reminding me of How unique I was How there was no one like me I never believed that I was stuck with the lies I told myself Life, I thought, was so unfair to me I stayed up all night Thinking to myself I had had enough of this life And it was time to do something About it What I never knew till this moment Was how everything I went or was going through Was just a path leading to my destination How I was been drawn nearer to my time To my victory To my breakthrough To my power To my success To the harvest time of God's promise In my life For all these years I've been my own enemy I kept dragging myself deeper into the muddy stream But this day, My Lord,My God Has opened my eyes to see The real stuff I was made of I am more than a conqueror! I am God's favorite child! I am a royal! I am blessed and highly favoured! ...

The Distance I thought I had you I always knew you were by my side I never realized how distant You had become from me How the foundation of our friendship Had weakened How did it all happen? What's the cause? Did I move first or You did? I've always leaned on you You're filled with Great Wisdom You gave a different  definition  to my life Transforming me wholly You made me Me You granted me the highest Protection  from my foes And fought all my battles You've shown me the love I'll never ever get from anyone Even during our temporary separation I shared my hurts and pain With you You listened You said I never bothered you With my numerous problems So Now Why the distance? Who moved first? You or I ? I think I did! Please take me back Hold nothing against me Forgive me I'm back for real Never will I depart from you But I need your help To stay- Forever.

Stand-by "Honey, I need this", "Sweetie, can you get me that?",  "Darling, could you please accompany me here?" "Sugar, you are so wonderful" Every minute, every second, Honey this! Darling, that! Ooh, oh, so when do I get to be the 'friend', I'm always standing in for someone, I'm always a stand-by. When the 'friend' hurts or betrays her, That's when I become of some importance, That's when I'm seen as a 'friend', A 'friend' for a second. Once the problem is solved, Our friendship goes back as old, And I go back to being the stand-by. I'm always cleaning up another's mess, Nursing the wounds inflicted by another. I'm almost hurt But thanks to God For being the best friend I could ever have, For giving me friends  To erase all this hurt, Friends to treat me as 'friend'. I'll always be a comforter To a soul that needs...

They Think They are always correct in their judgment They think! They always keep permanent perception of you, Spreading that perception to the world, Creating either lovers or haters for you. They have the ability to attract the majority Or the minority for or against you. They can sometime be destiny killers or destiny boosters. They can bring family and friends closer Or can even turn them away. People like this come our way during our journey through life To keep us on track, So never be scared or get frightened, When they come around. Always portray to those around you The true you, the perfect image of God. How you fall does not matter But how you gather the efforts to pick yourself And move on Is what matters. Never be overexcited or discouraged When A perception is created Because A perception can be deceptive Either A good or a bad one © Annie Ann's Series

As humans, we don't know where we'll need the help of someone. It's our obligation as individuals existing in a society to treat other individuals as 'humans' and not as 'things'. We got to know everyone has blood running through their veins and are full of senses. Even if they may lack any of their five senses, they are still sensitive to emotions. There are different people found everywhere on the surface of this earth. Every individual is unique in his own way. You can't judge anyone with your own ideas or views, before you can a step forward to talk about someone, take 'steps' backwards then check your life to see if you are 'fit' to talk about this individual. Check to see if your life is worth more this individual you want to talk about. And don't forget you can't value someone based on your standards but by God's standards.

The Greatest Love I told myself, 'finally I've found What I was looking for' But then I was wrong I was searching for the right thing In the wrong places My heart bleeds My body responds to this bleeding I woke up this day with so much belief In myself In my ability to change things Around me But I failed I turned to a place I knew I could find what I was looking for But there was nothing there I felt a touch in my life A warm touch that suddenly Change everything in my life There was light in my life My path was clear and straight My heart stopped bleeding I was full was of joy and peace That words cant describe Then the sweetest voice in the world A voice that was familiar but was the first time I was hearing it said to me 'My dearest always know I LOVE YOU I'll offer you what the world can never give you All I need you to do is to Invite me into your life And give me your whole being The love shown...

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.
