A Year Older But Decades Wiser!



From the cradle we felt your care
when we innocently crawled towards the fire
and no one was watching
you were there to keep us away from harm


when we took in injurious substance as a kid, you helped neutralise its effect beyond what my liver can detoxify, 
my infantile immunity cannot comprehend that.

I grew to become a teenager
With tendencies and passion crying for expression
you, God, showed me a better to explore them 
Without doing regretful things, 
you helped redirect them to my talents

I started understanding your Way, Will and Word
they were sweeter than honey in the honeycomb
how you Father me is amazing
the Love you showered on me was and is still overwhelming

My Love for you grew like a bride espoused to her Prince
yet my imperfections punctured what we shared. 
I erred and I thought I no longer deserve your generosity
oh, what pain, the pain of separation from my beloved

"Knock knock"... who is at the door?
on opening I met you at the door.
I couldn't comprehend it.
how can, the offended be the one come running for reconciliation?
This is the mystery of Love, True Love

Then I knew, your love for me was boundless 
Terms and conditions do not apply. It is unconditional.
nothing I'd ever do can change how you feel about me. 
I cannot be more deserving of you, 
neither can I be less worthy. 

It's hard to believe, because around here, you only get when you give. you have to earn it. 
But you? you opened me up to a greater dimension of love,
the transforming love. 
so, I decided to be like you. love like you.

I want to say "thank You" for the journey so far. It's been your grace,Jesus. and this is my testimony;

I am  here today because God kept me
I'm alive today only because of His grace He kept me. God kept me. He kept me so I wouldn't let go. 

Thanks for adding another year to my age.

Happy Birthday to my Twin and I.

We are a year older but decades wise.
