Poem of the week: THE LITTLE CHILD

By, Debbie Ink.

Child! The outcome of a couple
Child! The outcome of been a woman
Child! The Joy of Motherhood
Child! The backbone of his parents

A mother who sits around the child
Nursing and caring for it with endless love
Giving the child all it takes to be great in Life
Starving herself just for the child to eat and survive

The little child!
Easy to offend and please
Who finds pleasure in playing with his peers
And runs to his mother when the belly cries for food

Oh give Us the heart of a child
Whin no guile would be found
But Love, Fun and Truths
And a heart full of laughter & pleasure

The performance of a little child
Is as beautiful as nature
Funny, cunny, talentable and entertaining
Is the child that everybody wishes to have and being around with

POEM of the Week: TIME

By, Debbie’s Ink

Time is precious;it waits for no man
Time is humans enemy’s friend
Where hast thou been oh Time?
Why do people trample upon the streets
With coats, ties, trousers, shoes and dresses?
Greeting each other with a wave of hands

Why do insatiable creatures used you as an excuse?
Even with you been twenty-four hours in a day
You ain’t still enough for humans
Your roving hands wonts wait for no man
Moving swiftly and slowly
With a tick-tock sound
Time is money they do say
It is been spent unknowingly and wisely
Our ancestors are gone in past time
There is still no Time to revive them
To everything there is a season,
And a time to every purpose under the Heaven
A time to be born;and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to pluck up that which was planted;
A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to break down and a time to build up;
A time to wipe and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get and a time to lose;
A time to keep and a time to cast away;
A time to rend and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence and a time to speak;
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time of war and a time of peace
Time would permit human to enjoy his fruits of labor
But would be cheated with death
Time! Time!! Time!!!
Do us good by rendering yourself excessively to us
And we promise with all our hearts to keep faithful to you!

POEM: FEAR

By, Debbie’s Ink.

Fear! Fear!! Fear!!!
You are so distratrous and wicked
You walked about while shatteredly
Naked and ramshackedly

Fear and Death saddled both on same donkey
Travelling across the deserts
Looking for a comic-tragic hearts or souls
So as for you both to rest and dune for the night

You visited our lonely days
And makes it more shattered
You intrude into our plans and ambitions
And makes our future hopeless and fruitless

Why do people have you in their hearts?
Why do people think about you before thinking about their lives?
Why do people observe you in the societies?
Why do crowds have you in minds before dying?

Oh Fear! Please leave US
That we may live our lives whole-heartedly
That we may breath freely
That we may carry our burdens with the Lord help us

Thanks to our Creator
For putting our minds at rest
Thanks to You Almighty
For overcoming fear in our lives
