life

Life's not about expecting, hoping and wishing, it's about doing, being and becoming.

It's about the choices you've just made, and the ones you're about to make, it's about the things you choose to say - today.

It's about what you're gonna do after you finish reading this..........

Happiness

happiness lies for those who cry
those who hurt
those who have searched
and those who have tried,
for only they can appreciate the importance
of people who have touched their lives.

Our Father

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow,
the same loving Father who care for you tomorrow and everyday
either He will shield you from suffering or
He will give you unfalling strength to bear it.
Be at peace then and put aside all anxious
thoughts and imaginations.

relations

don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life.....

relations work best when they are balanced.

Religion

I never told my own religion or
scrutinized that a another, I never
attempted to make a convert, nor wished to
change another's creed. I am satisfied
that yours must be an excellent religion
to have produced a life of such
exemplary virtue & correctness
For it is in our lives, not from our words
that our religion
must be judged!

Mothers Odyssey

In lifes lessons rests a gift for me
given the wise and weary mother of my dear and
brilliant mother
A clean bag, fully packed, white and spotless
driven with the care befitting wisdom
that comes only with a long and prudent life.
But, agonized and wild to crazy longing
I am amazed at all possibility,
a journey thru' the land of Selah Atieno,
through the ocean deep with ghosts of a man loved,
whose loved hands would stray the African Heart
to thrill the soul of those listening, carefully,
how their voices told the story of her sadness,
so human with the mix of joy & pain,
that was the common nature of his kind.
Now i wish to don that heavy garment & take
with me my dead mother's piano,
and the memory of my brother's deep torment,
his music now at play among the many.
How i long to go alone on a white odyssey
in this white bag, full parked to survive!.

beautiful face

The most beautiful face i have ever known belongs to my 80 year old grandmother. Each time i see her, I am stuck anew by the depth of her loveliness. The joy in her journey, her struggles with sorrow, the threads of wisdom shes bent down and picked up along the way, are present in each line of time upon her face.
