I'LL SHINE

 Seems like I've been underrated all my life

I wonder the kind of man I'll be if I had a wife

I wonder if I miss out on many blessings

Cause I rather avoid the pearls of many lessons

Like I'm way above what you teach


I know it, even if it's not within my reach

Does my nature deceive you?

Think I'm Lake Placid behind my eyes?

There's a fire raging in my heart—

It's in my mind, the power of Living Water!


Perhaps I tend towards things softer

Doesn't mean I'll take whatever's on offer

I'm gentle because I've seen rougher

And God's my shield, my very buffer


But life's a lesson, everything's an usher

To let us into high places like a butler

Don't look down on me, partner

But incase you do, I shined my shoe

My shirt may not be starched (yet!)

But just incase you do, I shined my shoe..


And if you do, you'll look at you

And I'll look at you, looking at you

My head up high, I'll touch the sky

Flying high, like a star, I'll shine.


I'll shine.

But maybe again I do

Like I over-do sometimes

Overthink things

I apologize

But like I said, I'll shine..

ICE BREAKER

I'm thinking of our talks with a smile, Although sometimes I'm scared that I cross the line, But you always reassure me that it's fine, Like a fish, I'm always testing the line, Pushing boundaries because you allow, Humorous are you, and mighty kind Talking with you through tough times, I'm sure this relation is God's hand. You've been of help to me, I said I know you'll want to protest— But I'm smiling at a word you said, Far long after it had been said. I cherish the lovely moments we talk; Always waiting to hear from you, Sometimes I'm scared I bother you, But I can't seem to help myself. I wanted to write something happy, But happiness is serious business, And from everyone else You are a little different. But keep the love, keep the purity, When we vibe, there's no insecurity Like one mind, at ease in unity, You're greatly blessed, until infinity! This was supposed to be light, but it's so serious! Shine brightly, dearest Sir...
