Eagles Wings

My inspiration and impression for this poem was awe-some!. Wrote it as swiftly as it came to me.

Chorus:

Be the umbrella of my worship (repeat)

Shelter me with your presence

Then consume me with your grace

Fall… in this place

Meet… in your grace (your grace, your grace, your grace)

Faith has brought us through the tide

The tide that overlaps into every season

And in every season we were covered

And in every season we were transformed

In every season we were pregnant of purpose

But in every season did we deliver?

There must have been someone that kept us

There must have been someone that propelled us

Out, beyond and above every situation

And weren’t we overwhelmed?

Weren’t we strengthened?

Weren’t we mounted on new wings?

Weren’t there testimonies?

Listen to the voice within

the voice of instruction and introspection

For greater heights,

For greater purpose,

For greater battles

For greater worship

For greater triumphs

(Repeat the chorus)

You’re the captain of my worship

You’re the captain of my praise...

We have the inheritance of favour

From the king: Jesus

No time to quiver, no time to waver, or blaspheme

We are redeemed by his precious blood

And for all sicknesses or strongholds it is the cure

(Chorus)

For this reason we are created

Even at the fore of broken thredders, at the plank of drenched dreams,

at the grave of sacrifices

God has a much higher calling for us

To rise up in him to make the difference

If only we realize the potential within

to activate the faith and spread our wings

Chorus

Be the umbrella of my worship (repeat)

Shelter me with your presence

Consume me with your grace

Fall… in this place

Meet... in your grace (your grace, your grace, your grace)

Motherhood

                                                    

To all mothers far and near

aspiring and….. in care

I hope you lend a listening ear

To…these words, these adjectives… this emotive flare

which cannot begin to express your love… unconditional

Even as I’m here I ask your permission to share

my immature understanding of your love and devotion

Your love is like: the breeze, untainted….. abundant, and all encompassing

Like a stream: ever flowing and soothing to every organism on earth

you birth a testimony

From the orphan to the handicap

From the abandoned to the homeless

From the hopeless to the fearless

It matters when you speak a word to calm our fears

It matters when you hold our hands and dry our tears

Even matters when you clean our room and box our ears

But even as a child my immaturity didn’t lend the reason you defend my childhood,

my womanhood……and yes, my motherhood

And for those men: manhood and fatherhood

You are a Queen…and from your wisdom we can face the struggles, we can the fight the fight, we can embrace the victory!

You give your all still when we fall

With those words you scold “you mould your destiny!”

To those women who lost

For it was Mary who cried and led the days in misery

As her son JESUS CHRIST paid the cost at Calvary…

your strength remains a mystery

because even after death

She cured…his body

To those women who heal because of healing

You pave the path for strong women in history…

Esther, Mary Magdalene and Niomi

Apostles, Pastors and Ministers

Just know that we need you

From a word to a hug

We bless you

And your words when spoken

Mends…. the broken hearted

and so this is

To…..Those mothers who sacrifice their worth

Fetching the burden of pass regrets and present hurts

We love you!….and if you mess up, God loves you!…. it’s not too late!

To clean up and make up

Dress up and wake up to a life renewed

But so often you are judged and your loved ones don’t care

But God removes the smear…. Of poverty, pride, vanity, calamity,

all strongholds and your future he holds, dearly

To the pinnacle because he knows that you are miracle

To all women with or without

To all women abused and delinquent

To all siblings who are mothers

To those fathers who are mothers

To those mothers who are fathers

i pray that these words

Swell your happiness

And Feed your strength

To keep on!..Keeping on
