The fact that I love her...

The fact that I love her

Means I am human enough to feel

The fact that I love her

Is the true definition of growth to me

The fact that I love her

Reminds me how sensitive I have become

The fact that I love her

I have grown to love her more

The fact that I love her

Makes me vulnerable

The fact that I love her

Means a lot to me

Remind me why I still love you

Remind me why I cannot live without you

Remind me why I choose you

Remind me why I, Just remind me why :)

The fact that I love her

Tells you I love her

If I ever

My love, if I ever need you

Please be there for me

If I ever get bored, it doesn’t mean well

Please make time for me

If I ever doubt you,

I might be wrong but my heart is in the right place

Please understand me

If I go off course, human is to err

I love you and would not mean to hurt you

Please don’t hold it against me

If you see me, down casted,

Looking frail,

Pissed and angry

Please remind me I have you

If I get paranoid

And end up looking at you suspiciously

Please, do not use it against me

Because, I will hate you

I will think worse about you

I will make innocent gestures look guilty about you

And we will no longer be US… it will tear U

Please fight for us

Life Nuggets

Learn to appreciate your efforts too, you played your part
Learn to live in the moment, that is why you are there
Learn to love yourself, God didn't waste His precious Son for a nobody
Learn to embrace your small gift, you deserve it
Learn to appreciate, I didn't say kill yourself to prove it
Learn to let go, unless you wanna be in the same place you are forever
Learn to agree, but be selfish here and there if it involves you.

The man...

And so I traversed the world in search of a definition of a man 

And the world, surely answered in its own way 

The other said,  a man ought to know hunting 

A group said a man ought to have been circumcised 

A woman said a man ought to be awesome in bed 

My peers said a man ought to conquer as many women than his age

And an old man said to me, sit down and listen, 

A man; 

Ought to be humble 

Ought to show love 

Ought to be a mentor 

Ought to be an example 

Ought to be wise 

Ought to listen 

Ought to be there when need be 

And the old woman sited besides him added 

A man ought to have character, which can only be attained through being in touch with his God 

And so I stopped there,  came back and reflect one these words 

Came to terms with the fact that a man can only be when;

As an infant, he’s spoken to, 

As a child, he is taught, 

And as a young man, he is pushed to practice the teachings, 

And the generations to come can only be stronger and stronger. 

What do you think a man ought to do to prove he is a man?
