Grace Looks Good On You

Every December 24th, I celebrate my mom's birthday.
Happy Birthday, Mma. 🎉🎂🍰🎊
More grace to your age.

Mother,

I love you, forever.

Grace looks good on you

Grace was made for you

Like that fabric of lace on you

Beauty defines you

You're aging with grace

Radiance adorns your face

You are made of grace,

And molded to the Master's taste.

Grace looks good on you

It's like the Dew of Hermon

Is raining all over you.

Daughter of Zion

His banner over

You is everlasting love

Yours is a story of hallelujahs

His grace looks good on you

Cause you are living proof

That God is good,

Grace erased the stress

Of your years

You are indeed blessed

Not a scar nor a tear,

Grace looks good on you

Grace brought you thru

Grace kept you

And delivered you

Whole into a fresh 365,

Yours is a blessed life.

You were fashioned

To be a Divine light

And crowned with glory and honor

Therefore grace,

Like that blouse of lace

Looks real good on you.

Happy birthday to you,

Jesus bless you and keep you.

To The First Raindrops In 2021

Courtesy: @Novelicious (on Twitter)

As night must make way for the day

So also the sun retreat for the rain

Although the sun tapped out

A while before the waters trickled down.

Yesterday witnessed the first raindrops

Of the brand new year 2021

But it was sort of a shortfall

Cause I saw more of the windstorm

Than the announced rainstorm.

Aside, it kinda caught me on the job

And for me, that was the worst bit,

The only thing of note off the scene

Was the dammed huff n' puff

And there I was

Trapped like one of 'em fabled three

Piglets stuffed in a straw hut

Hanged out to dry in the absence of a sun.

Can't Nothing Touch Me

Can't nothing touch me

In  2021, I'm riding shotgun with Divinity.

Come take a walk with a god

I'ma show travails I work stuff

Cause ain't nothing goin' past me

I'ma find purpose in it and work it

Dreams three times

My size,

As God be on my side

I'ma visualize

Then reap my harvest

And ride

Expand my horizon like Jabez

This new 365

Is my season to thrive.
