Flicker of Hope

FLICKER_OF_HOPE

Everyone is looking at me

Because I'm hopelessness,

No one is responsible to

Raise me up, where I'm doing

My things by myself.

I'm devote that when their is life their is hope.

I keep doing my things without

Need anyone help because they are useless being.

Light a candles on what

I'm jumble on it, since I keep

Struggle and hustle for my hope to comes pass.

My friends and relative are 

Flabbagasting on  my Ambition because I devoted my hope wouldn't fail.

I always failed in my examinations, but their is an

Hope to pass one day.

I keep struggled and hustle

Without look for their jest

Since their Is a passion for my success.

Hope will never die when

You keep facing the battle

For the purpose of you to

Conquer....

MY MOTHER, MY PARADISE

Poems

The great teacher in my life,

Who paved the path for me to life,

And beaconed me the straight path,

Was my hope in the abyss of oceans,

When the waves drowned my soul.

Her veritable love for me,

makes her pace through darkness and gloom.

The only cloud in my sky,

Oasis in life's desert.

How will I reciprocate your love?

A roll of the sky gold will not be enough,

Nor a continent of gems,

To pay your gesture.

I hope Grimm will ferry other souls

till I fully pay your labors.

You the bloomer of my bud,

And the rain for my garden.

I hope I stay here

to show you the love you showed me.

Filling your soul with static happiness

that will stay for ever.

I shall live to reciprocate you,

For your love in my life is tantamount to true love,

Because you talk to me without condition,

And you care for me unexpectedly.

I shall live to make you roam around with happiness,

For the sacrifice of life you made for me,

And those times my cry seems to be out of hand,

Which makes you not to feel at ease.

I shall live to be a good son to you,

For all your efforts in my life won't went in vain,

For I am ready to take good care of you,

Because it is a blessing to have you as a mother.

Pray for me Maamii;

to be the fruitful tree in your forest.

Providing you shelter, quenching the fire of hunger in you,

For my paradise lies in you.

Rejoice (Poem): Gladys Casely Hayford

 Rejoice and shout with laughter

Throw all your burdens down

If God has been so gracious

As to make you black or brown,

For you are a great nation,

A people of great birth 

For where would spring the flowers

If God took away the earth?

Rejoice and shout with laughter

Throw all your burdens down

Yours is a glorious heritage

If you are black, or brown.
