AND HER LOOKS I STOLE

 An heroine she was
An epitome of beauty
Her skin as fair as the lilies
Her eyes glows like the sun
Her hair was black and beautiful


It was her in my father's heart
The first one he ever loved
It was her in our hearts
And her looks I stole

A woman of strength
A picture of virtue and fame
She soils her hands in seasons
Making the family one


My first best friend
Her pride I was
Her firstborn child
And her looks I stole

Get me something was our last
Mummy mummy I called
But there wasn't one to answer
I was furious at her


Where could she have gone I thought
Why isn't she here
She travelled I was told
I didn't know she was gone
It was her in our Heart


A vacuum has been created
We were told to put it behind
Years has passed
Our heroine, Our strength
And her looks I stole.

That's how life works.   Bringing this commercial down to our very lives, Do people have our names on their lips? What I mean is this- Have we been able to make impact on others? You may or maybe not agree with me that some persons live the I don't care kind of life but the truth is it doesn't help. We ought to learn living our lives with the mindset of impacting others positively so when we are no more or even now our footprint will be left in the sand of time. We are here to make impact to even the generation yet unborn not just to occupy space. In the words of Warren Buffet "Someone is sitting...
