My Lifetime

Sailing through life

Thrilled with so many woes
It can get over my head, oh yes.
But not now!
Let me enjoy the blossoming nature small.
Although, it drains me farther
But I'm covered.
Bit by bit, I'm overwhelmed
As the surprising nature engulfs me with testimonies, so precious to behold!

The Reasons Why I Don’t Love Easily

My heart is soft.

A fragile heart, unwilling to endure another pain.
No wonder I keep it stiff, unmoved.
People wonder whether I would love again.
It hurts though, but I smile as if I heard nothing.
The fear of missing my Mr. Right, hunts me every single day.
But I know the click will come when I meet him.

Lukuduchopchop

This old man amazes me.

I wonder where he got the zeal from.
He works with extreme exuberance, like a springing youth.
Some youths can't be energetic as he is now.
Upon life's experiences gained.
He knows the true meaning of ups and downs.
Lukuduchochop is my kind of man.
He reminds me of my father who doesn't rest even on holidays.
He wakes up early and returns home at dusk.
He fetches sand, pours in cement and water, mixes it as stirring corn and cassava dough.
As brave as a lion, love your heart!
Keep up! Long live Lukuduchochop!
