Am i true to myself (poem)

am i true to myself

i want to live with myself and so
i want to be fit for myself to know
i want to be able as the days go by always to look myself straight in the eyes
i don't want to stall with the setting sun
and hate myself for the things i have done-
i don't want to keep on a closet shelf- and cozen myself as i come and go
into thinking that no one else know- the kind of man i really am
i don't want to dress up myself in ignominy
i don't want to deserve all men's admiration
but here's the struggle for fame and puff
i want to be able to like myself
i don't want to look at myself and know
that I'm bluster and bluff and empty show
i can never hide myself from me
i see what others may never see
i know what others may never know
i can never fool myself and say
whatever happens i want to be
self respecting and conscience free.

Purpose driven life day 2

You Are Not an Accident I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born. Isaiah 44:2a (CEV) God doesn’t play dice. ----Albert Einstein You are not an accident. Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it. Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. He thought of you first. It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you! The Bible says, “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me.” *God prescribed every single detail of your body.*He deliberately chose your race, the color of your skin,your hair*and *every other feature. He custom-made your body just the way He wanted it. He also determined the natural talents you would possess and the uniqueness of your pe...

TO SEE THY FACE AGAIN by Osunkoya O'niyi

TO SEE THY FACE AGAIN I'll do anything to see thy face again For t'is lovely and joy to behold For it restored grace and beauty to my fading stance And a lightning struck across my wandering soul. I'll go far across the hills in sought of thy face Everest; I’ll climb with joy to behold its radiant beauty Hurdles will do nothing to my thirstiness for it And i'll faint not for the heights it requires. I'll cross Atlantic and ride past deep blue Pacific won't scare a bit for i seek thy face Pains; my want for you it helps seek height The worst is as the raising of Moses’ right arm. My heart melts to perceive your aura once more My flesh is rust from your prolonged absence Again, in want to feel alive and breathing And i'll do anything to see thy face again. 3:39, Aug. 03, 2016
