IYANUOLUWA (A Miracle to Mankind) by Dasho Elizabeth

A loyal friend

A man who pays attention

Don't have many friends

But many call him friend

His smiles brightens your day

And his attitudes keeps you out of worries

Charismatic and respectful

He knows honour

He's a gift amongst men

Good with skills

Best when teaching the skills

A man made me cherish Tennis

Cause he never gets tired of teaching me

when the course seems difficult

He made tennis fun

Even when I didn't understand it

He guided me through

Motivations and encouragement

Had no choice but to learn it

I call him my coach

indeed he his

incredible, loving and great

The sport field has always been fun

Yes fun with IYANUOLUWA

You are a miracle to mankind

You are to me

Thanks for making sport fun

Thanks for cheering me up

Thanks for looking out for me

I'm grateful

I'm glad I'm your friend

Happy belated birthday

IYANUOLUWA.

She's a dear friend and sister, and her words are kindly tailored and fit to a tee. She truly took out time to measure me. I'm perhaps not as patient sometimes (lol!) But this means a lot to me. Thank you kindly Dasho, I am amazed.

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings I went deep down the ocean depths The primordial power of the earth I felt Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze In high spirits, but my energy spent Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent These answers are worth more per every cent Yet on my strength I can't depend To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response In the thunder, there was no reply But in the g...

A PLACE

We all need a place, where we can be less perfect Bottle our insecurities, and let it out in private Dine with our doubts and pick bones with faith It can be a person, it can be a place It can be something we'll never do again. It could be healing, it could be coping It could be something to help you keep moving Life is a lesson, and people are blankets Life is transient, and memories are strength Life is transient, and memories are strength. Like a plastic bag I kept some messy things On the outside, it was fine But inside was less pleasant Messy, not dirty, but serving a purpose To keep my environment clean And help arrange my thoughts as I cleaned: Resented the baggage, but it grew on me And I came to realize its usefulness We all need a place we can be less perfect To figure out our weaknesses or find our strengths— It's okay if we're lonely along the way Or weak by ourselves when we can't find help Life is a l...
