My Mother

Who fed me from her gentle breast,
And hushed me in her arms to rest,

And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?
My Mother.

When pain and sickness made me cry,
Who gazed upon my heavy eye,
And wept, for fear that I should die?
My Mother.

Who dressed my doll in clothes so gay,
And fondly taught me how to play,
And minded all I had to say?
My Mother.

Who ran to help me when I fell,

And would some pretty story tell,

Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.

And can I ever cease to be
Affectionate and kind to thee,

Who was so very kind to me?
My Mother.

Mother o’ Mine

If I were hanged on the highest hill,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine

I know whose love would follow me still,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine
I know whose tears would come down to me,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were damned of body and soul,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine

I know whose prayers would make me whole,

Mother o’ mine, 0 mother o’ mine!

MOTHER'S ARE THE SWEETEST.

Our mother is the sweetest and

Most delicate of all.S

he knows more of paradise

Than angels can recall.

She's not only beautiful

But passionately young,

Playful as a kid, yet wise

As one who has lived long.

Her love is like the rush of life,

A bubbling, laughing spring

That runs through all like liquid light

And makes the mountains sing.

And makes the meadows turn to flower

And trees to choicest fruit.

She is at once the field and bower

In which our hearts take root.

She is at once the sea and shore,

Our freedom and our past.

With her we launch our daring ships

Yet keep the things that last.

A WONDERFUL MOTHER

GOD made a wonderful mother,

A mother who never grows old;

He made her smile of the sunshine,

And He molded her heart of pure gold;

In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,

In her cheeks, fair roses you see;

God made a wonderful mother,

And He gave that dear mother to me.

Show Love Always!

Good Morning All,


A friend of mine sent me this mail this morning and i decided to share it with you. Always try to show love because you never can tell whom your next ladder up would be.


"He almost didn't see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out.


His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.


He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.


He said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson ."


Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.


Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happenedhad he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid.



This wasnot a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole lifethat way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.


He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, "And think of me."


He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The Waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan .


After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.


There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: "You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, theway I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you." Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day.


That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, "Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson".

Young Girls

I promised we were going to talk about young girls and why they are jumpy when they get to the teenage age but it was delayed due to the Easter celebration and then the Election but by the grace of God we will start now.

From research i found that at teenage level which is between the ages of 13 - 19 years, a young girl experiences growth and developments in almost everything about her. she is changed Physically, mentally, spiritually, morally, behaviour etc. She suddenly begins to realise that she is growing into a woman and is cautious of what she does.

She begins to feel she now has the right to make decisions for herself, by herself. She is upset when her parents ask questions on her whereabout, she wants to be independent atleast to a certain level. She wants to frequent parties alone without her guardian, she wants to go to the pool, beach, etc. alone, she wants to be able to interact with other young girls like her or should i say young women and also the opposite sex.

She begins to notice the opposite sex. She feels beautiful, and when admired by the opposite sex she smiles sheepishly! she is conscious of her body, her size, her dressing, her talking, her everything because she is beginning to understand and know herself.

Here the problem comes in! some parents start giving curfews and laying embagos in the house, but we all know that if a lot of pressure is mounted they can become naughty. There is always a way of making up excuses in order to leave the house, so please parents and guardians we have to be careful in how we handle our young women/teens at this stage. you have to help us/them understand that you love us and that whatever you do is because you care so much and can't afford to see us get hurt.

Young women are supposed to be encouraged to concentrate on their education or whichever career she has chosen. They are supposed to be thought how to manage their career and social lives. The parents/guardians should be able to discuss intimate things such as dating, sex, diseases, pregnancies, career, etc. with them at this stage inorder to help walk the right path.

In some part of Africa, Teenage pregnancy is high because of lack of information. Some young women get carried away and fall victim of teen-pregnancy. Some have to leave school and resort to taking care of their baby, some are sent away from home and taking to far away villages because their parents/guardians are disappointed.

Thank God these days awareness programmes, seminars and conferences are organised to enable young people have detailed information on all there is to know while growing. Growing process of a Young woman is not really easy but most of them over come the temptations and become great in life.

Great Women!

Lets mention few of the great women we have both within and outside and say very few things about them.

To mention but a few!!

Do have a great weekend all you great women out there!

Be Happy!!

Long Time!!!

Hi People!!!

Long time!!! Am really so sorry for the the pause. I have been busy for some time now and also we have been ill in my house for the past 2 weeks, first my mum, them my siblings. we thank God for the quick recovery.

How is everyone of you doing, Hope all is well. Finally, the shouts, tension and worry of the election has come and gone. so we can now move on with our daily activities and normal lives hoping that all goes well in our lives and this Country.

we will continue with our posts in a while.

Just be happy!!!

Finally Over!!

The most important parts of the Elections are finally over!!

A lot of things has happened these past two weeks! Some people are complaining that the election was not free and fair, some say the rigging is beyond imagination, some say its a bit okay, some are happy, some are sad, i will say Thank God there was no much violence, atleast not so much live was lost compared to the time of MKO Abiola (may his soul rest in perfect peace).

The truth is that we cannot keep crying over spilled milk, most of us are upset with the way the vote went because our candidates did not win, INEC would not even make things easy, lots of flunctuations and irregularities but the truth is that results are out and whether the result tilts in our favour or not winners has been announced, and would likely be sworn in by May 2007.

All we need do now is to Pray that God direct thier parts, grant them conscience and lead them into ruling this Country called Nigeria well. They have promised a lot of things these past months, i hope they work towards it. it is easy for them to come and say they will give us; light, food, good roads, housing, hospitals etc. I think the time has come for them to start actualising their plans and prove themselves, Yes! even before they are sworn in.

We pray and hope that things work out well in this country, so many things are yet to be done. i can't wait for the day this Country will be transformed. I hope it comes soon and very soon.

In whatever you do today just be Happy and Keep praying for the good of this country!!!

Cheers!!!!

One Love!!!

Hi People!!!

How are you all doing? How was the election break/weekend? Hope you did enjoy it?

It was sure a mixed feelings break because of the election, some people were happy the vote result tilted their way while some aren't. Some feel the election was rigged while some feel it was free and fair to some extent. Some are cursing right now and wishing while some are praising and happy. Whatever and however we all feel this week, just let your love for each other remain the same, the ultimate is that we are hale and hearty today.

We should all pray that all declared candidates for each position should have enough conscience to do what they have promised and that God guide them and direct them into remembering that we are one and should be treated with one Love!

As we prepare for the presidential election, we should all remember to abstain from any form of violence whether consciously or unconsciously while still praying that God remembers this country and come to our aid via our leaders by changing their hearts into good.

I strongly believe that not all are corrupt, they probably have good intentions but somehow can't or don't seem to get things done the right way, so, thats why i say we should keep praying that God come to our aid to deliver and save this country from all the problems its being going through!!

I know most of us will be busy right now so do have a wonderful day and be happy!!!

ONE LOVE!!!
