To the cross roads
My road
I have tread
Long and winding

Hard and steep
Ups and downs
Struggled all the way
Where my road has gone

Lonley it has been
Company would be good
To take the bordem away
A soul mate to find

A loving hearted soul
To offer me her heart
To smoother me in kisses
To bring joy to my life


My road has been long to the cross road i am
go left or do I go right
Do I go on with nothing in sight
I question ?
Where my lifes goig
Should I ponder a while

I stop and think
And ponder my life

Beware my friend, beware
In the backstreets, byways and alleys
Beneath light of the pale moon
There in the shadows they lurk

Should you be foolish, pass too near
No mercy you’ll be given
Your life is forfeit, there is no hope
And death is slowly coming

You pray for death to take you quick
Yet on and on you linger
In agony your screams burst forth
But not a sound breaks the silence

All around you world moves on
Not aware of your existence
And as your light slowly fades
No questions are answered

In these hands
He holds the whole world
With love and understanding

In these hands
I feel so safe
My Lord and Saviour

In these hands
He’ll take me home
When my time on earth is finished

Too much I cannot cope
Words just keep on floating
Clavicle, femur, cranium and more
The teacher sits there gloating

Sternum, scapula, mandible, patella
I think I lost their meaning
If I don’t pass this test
It will be ever so demeaning

Who am I to preach ?
A Sinner among sinners,
Who sleeps with adulteress,
Do not be mistaken by my flair.

I am neither a converted Christian,
Nor a converted Catholic,
I never read the bible nor pray,
Went to sunday services nor take communion.

I never sing hymns nor fasted,
Pastors,fathers,preachers,I never trusted,
Never bothered to read psalms nor shout praises.

Instead , I swear, stole, lied,
Cheated,slept with married women ,
Watched porn,and shoved my mother in anger,
I'm the last person to preach nor share my poems!

But I'm neither the devil's favourite,
Never been a warlock, witch doctor nor his servant,
Never practiced magic, rituals , summons nor worships.

You can take me in your houses,
Make covenant with me in the middle,
Call your father and break my body of bones,
But my soul and faith can never be broken!

Pissed and possessed,
Lust and tormented,
Pain and in sickness,
In the hands of Jesus I am saved!

I am his vessel that you have stolen,
Abused and made to die slowly rotten,
Played havoc and almost got killed,
Many times I face death to live and tell !!!

And now the time has come,
You tremble knowing the time is now,
Stop me at any cost or distract my concentration,
Its now not in my hands to prevent it !

As long as I cry for Jesus,
And try to be soft and humble,
I'll stand and watch over,
The fight HE does for me !

Can I face the demons?
Counting in their millions,
Powers beyond humans,
JESUS is and will always be my Saviour !
Amen

The truth. He will face it now.
Yes, finally he sees it!
The sting of disappointment,
The pain of rejection,
His unfulfilled hopes and dreams
and utter dissatisfaction with his life
have brought him to this late but
undeniable truth, that he can no longer just
do as he feels or wants, for that there is a price.
Henceforth he will do as he must!

I had a very strange day the other day,
I was lying on the beach watching the world go by, when I saw a little child trip and fall whilst running and immediately burst into tears,
The parent rushed to its aid and began weeping as well as the child’s nose was all bloodied from the fall,
And I looked up and saw G_d crying too…

Later that day, I witnessed a couple arguing,
Suddenly the male got up and stormed off,
The female started sobbing softly as her body shook from anguish,
And I looked up and saw G_d crying too…

Later that day, I was visiting a friend in a large corporation’s offices when a man approached her desk, fighting back tears,
My friend asked what’s wrong, he had just been let go,
And I looked up and saw G_d crying too…

Later that day, I was having coffee with a friend when his mobile rang,
He answered, listened for a couple of seconds, then his face transformed into one of great sorrow and tears inundated his face,
He mumbled a thanks and closed the phone,
What’s wrong I asked alarmed,
His ailing mother who was on another continent had just passed away,
And I looked up and saw G_d crying too…

Later that day, as I was walking alone deep in thought, I noticed a stranger walking alongside me,
Hi, I said, do I know you?
Oh yes, the stranger replied, I am G_d,
Shocked, I gasped,
Wha, wha what are you doing here I asked,
I am here to answer your question,
My burning question was, of course, why did G_d cry at all the mishaps throughout the day instead of helping or better still putting an end to all the misery I had witnessed?
Simple, was G-d’s answer,
All those of my children who burst into tears today forgot who they are,
And that, was what made me cry…

I am smart.
I am beautiful.
I am creative.
I am loyal.
I am stable.
I am caring .
I am loving.
I am kind.
I am honest.
I am everything he's ever wanted
Yet
I'm beautifully invisible
If only he saw me...
