We walked and climbed up the stairs away from the car park
With his wife slowly but closely following
She is coming here to create the first of her kind (human). It was the right time.
Her needed toiletries were all in place
He helped her into her nightgown and head-tie
Down the small metal bed, she was placed
Place there to rest before things get started.
At any time from now, it could happen
We looked at her beautiful face. It registered love for him but she was in pain and feels betrayed by him at this hour. He gave way to floods of tears
His wife was trying to hide her labour pains her lovely smiling face.
“Its time to leave gentlemen” said the doctor and his team
We took a last look at her and everything around her and said ”It is good”
It was already dawn; into the car we went to help ourselves to the mouth-watering breakfast.
We love her but left her to undergo the pain alone
That’s how it should be
For nature said so.
Over the hill and trees, was the smiling sunshine coming our way
We lovingly welcome it
For we know it was bring a new day, and a new life into this world
Its rays added to our happiness and joy to having a new baby.

My Hero & Role Model! ... Is the Greatest Man who ever lived
He lived on this earth and did most of the things you and I do on the daily basis.
He spends himself out entirely for the common good of his fellow man. Pushed beyond the boundaries of the comforts this world has to offer, he was still not distracted from his course in life and his mission.
He is known everywhere, respected by hundreds of thousands, loved by uncountable millions, followed by masses, and even worshipped by others.
Who could he be? And why is he my Hero and that of many other?
We may know of greater men, in fields of politics and power, medicine, technology, music and so goes the list. But one thing we should never forget is that, there was one who surpasses them all. He was and still remains to be no other than the man…JESUS CHRIST.
You may now want to know why I and others viewed this man who lived centuries ago as our hero.
Because, you want to know, here are just few of my reasons:
· He was able to do lots of things that you and I would never even think of doing.
· If only followed and practice, his wise saying would have just the correct recipe to making this world a better place for all
· As a carpenter, he lived and worked hard with honesty
· As a preacher man, he carried out his work to the full and till the end of his life, he preached.
. As a teacher, he presented matters of great weight and depth with simplicity, brevity and clearity (Making him the greatest Teacher to ever lived)
· He had genuine love for humans and the world as a whole to the point that, He offers his own life for us…
Do you see why Jesus Christ is my hero?
It wouldn’t be as easy for you to accept this fact from me because; we have different thinking and maybe personalities, views and more about JESUS.
Now listen to what others have to say about Jesus Christ My Hero…
Napoleon Bonaparte was moved to say this about Jesus Christ…”
-“Jesus Christ has influenced and commanded his subjects without his bodily presence”
What sort of person has ever matched that record?
A man’s greatness/heroism can be measured by ‘what he leaves to grow, and whether he started others to think along fresh lines with a vigor that persisted after him. By this test Jesus Christ stands first.
Beyond any doubt, I would raise my voice and hands up to say Jesus Christ is My HERO because; by his dynamic teachings and by the way he lived in harmony with them, he has powerfully affected the lives of people for nearly two thousand years. One writer aptly put it this way: “All the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, all the kings that ever reigned, put together have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as did Jesus.”
He lived as a human like you and I and yet, he was able to maintain his integrity and what he preached to the last. In fact, his surpassing example of love in particular, is what made him the greatest man who ever lived and my personal HERO and Role model in life. His love has touched my hearts and that of millions through the centuries and has influenced their lives for the good.
Jesus Christ is simply my hero because of what he did and would continue to do for mankind. “If all humans were to live and fully observe and practice what Jesus taught, says, and practiced, I believe, there would not have been any problem whatsoever on this planet”
In conclusion, the well respected Hindu leader Mahatma Gandhi once said” I know of no one who has done more for humanity than Jesus”
If Gandhi, Napoleon, and many more who once lived and some still alive including you and I today, could say something about Jesus, then; without any hesitation, I would once more say my HERO is simply the Greatest man (JESUS CHRIST)who ever live, taught, and walked this beautiful earth…

On My Own!
I have being waiting all these 20
years for this time to come
I have waited for it too long
And now its here today
A day I have always wanted in my life.
This was because I am tired of being told
what to do and when to do it
tired of being blamed for the faults
and wrong doings of others
Now that I am a grown up man today,
I am going to do things my way
All on my own
I wouldn't have to be playing hide and seek
like I used to when I was yet a boy
But I would try to do all the best in everything
because my life is in my own hands.
Today, I am the captain of my ship
the sole ruler of my kingdom.
I am now a grown up man today
I would do things as one.
On my own in this world so big,
so tough,
and so full of obstacles
I am on my own to face life and to maintain it.
I have learnt a lot to believe in myself every now and then.
I have also leant what its means to live all On my Own.
I will always be grateful to you who have help me
to this stage of this journey of my life.
Every bit of your support was and would always be appreciated
now half way into that journey, to face the rest.
With my Creator by my side,
I am sure to face the future with pride,
with hope and determination to do the best as I can.
All of which would be done by me.
On My Own!
I am the boss of my own
the builder of my very future.
A future that is built on strong foundation...
Others have done it,
you have done it too
likewise, I too would do it!
On My Own!

MY IDENTITY!!!
Who do you think I am?
Tell me if you know.
Ask my parents. They knew who I am …
I am their most precious gift (child)
For the ordinary man and woman, am nothing but a
Human like themselves
My colleagues around me, I am a young adult,
and a great friend to them and to you
A useful asset to my family, relatives and a timely
gift to the communities I finds myself.
to my teachers, a well behaved, matured, sensible
hardworking, helpful, honest and a respectful pupil
to God my creator, I am one of his most wonderful piece of creation.
His image.
Am your friend. A lover of peace and unity.
An enemy of nobody but, myself.
You still don’t know me.
Do you?
I am simply a Black and Humble Individual.
A lad who dare not trouble no one.

PAINS OF LOVE!
Never! Never again for history to repeat itself
It’s painful, unbearable pain in my heart and life
It’s inside of me
Am surrounded by it
Am lost inside the emptiness of it and crying out
to myself
There's NO one to listen to my cry.
I dream and hope of sharing…being part of someone
Someone like you.
On that hope I lean and wait; for the waiting time to end
But nothing happend
In space I am left to hang. Lost inside the emptiness of the
Immeasurable emotions, and by the tears that never wet the eye
My eyes
I dream of touching… and receiving love from someone
And hoping for someone like you to stuff my heart’s vacuum with love.
On that joy, I dwells
And waits to see the end of my pains
Pains that you promised to cure
PAINS OF LOVE
I feel like searching and touching someone close to my heart
In that search, touching, reaching and waiting,
I cried in silence to myself
But unable to handle my emotions
At that moment, I learnt what love is,
why to love and how to fall in LOVE
I learnt the secret of love; what it takes to love
and the secret to maintain it
Maintaining the love of someone like you my darling
As I look into your lovely face,I smiled love
much LOVE that is priceless
Now that I look into your loving and comforting face,
I wouldn't waste any time but to bid the endless, painful
and waiting time...
GOOD BYE!!!

Man!
What a brilliant creature is he when you look at him from all angles!
He is the reflection of his creator. God his maker
the cleverest of all living things roaming the surface of mother earth
very generous is he to those he loved most and selfish to those he doesn’t
Unlike other living things, man’s behaviour is very unpredictable.
He is happy for seconds and in minutes sad. Why?
Man is advanced in all aspects.
With his superb brain
he can make and destroy his own world in minutes
He hates correction and hardly admits mistakes
unless force to do so
Man is master of himself and a king of his little
Kingdom. His home
he says and does whatever he chooses to.
He is loved and honoured, feared and dislike
Because of what he is (Man)
Ambitious is he.
If allowed, he would want to rule this world alone
So he can dominate his follow man to his ability.
He is in an endless pursuit of fame, materialism, riches and power
but never would he satisfy his quest
with all his ability and might, man got his limit
he is not as might as the lion, natural elements, sickness, emotions and death
he has failed to even stop his world from rapidly deteriorating around him
and yet, his is what he claims to be
Man!!!
He promotes the ideas of me and mine leaving little options for his follow man
he throws away the best opportunities that comes his way
only to blame others around him
he takes pride in his achievements
and very good in destroying…, but very poor in making.
He enjoys respect and praise but loved criticizing.
When in need…, he humbles himself as a child.
Once again learning obedience
proud and arrogant is he thereafter
In a tinkle of an eye, man passes away in death
he is forever gone and forgotten.
“Man returns back to the ground from which he was taken”
What a big blow!!!
He is like a hiss of the wind. Here now and in a second gone
Oh! How nothing is he but like a piece of biscuit
Man is noting more than the beauty of the world
An embodiment of dust!
