Mom, on this day I want to tell you thanks, I want to tell you thanks for everything ... . Everything you have done and are still doing. I don't think there is any amount of money in this world that can pay you for the love and support you have given me throughout the years.

Thanks for carrying me in your tummy for nine months, and for going through labour, so that I could be here. Thanks for being by my side through thick and thin. Thanks for correcting me when I'm wrong, and using the 'rod of correction', when necessary. Thanks for loving me and explaining all the good and bad that life has to offer.

Thanks for protecting me from this big, dangerous world, even though you know one day I will have to face it on my own. Thanks for teaching me what's right from wrong even when I don't want to learn.

For these and many more reasons, I tell you thanks. You make me happy when this world makes me sad. You make me smile even through bad situations; you have given me faith and pushed me forward even when I wanted to go back. You have showed me that when life takes you down you must get up, brush yourself off and keep going. Because the sky is the limit, so anything is possible.

You're a wonderful mother and an astonishing friend; you are more than I could ever ask for. You're the perfect mother and friend.

Thanks

God led me to a place; I've been yearning to go,

He saw my sorrows they were far greater than tomorrow.

God led me in my dreams, I stopped,

I hesitated I saw a new me in the clean blue stream

I lift my head to the heavens above.

Thanking God for showing me love.

Thank Him for the new change in me.

I've thrown away hate.

I've thrown away anger

I'm done with all that's bad

I have to be thankful, indeed I'm glad.

My heart is now pure

My soul is now cleansed

I've chosen God with no offence.

I feel free,

I feel healed

I must remember to go

Down on my knees

Thanking God for loosing the devil out of me.

Campaign Love

We met in unusual circumstances,

Election campaigns are just not for love,

Unsure what attracted you to me,

I was simply not looking for companionship.

My life was well complete the way it was,

But then I became mesmerised by your warmth and awesome personality,

Your touch was even better,

It's been such a long time since I felt this way about someone,

And even though you claimed otherwise,

It simply ended up being an election fling,

And all I am left with are memories

And a broken heart.
