~WISHES TO MY SAIL WHEN AT SEA~

I sit to watch his demeanor

One that resembles that of a minor

Even though so much waxed in age

You could hardly tell from his playful nature

When amidst children.

He is slow to anger

Quiet when at hunger

His laughter beams brighter

Always on point even when on humour

He is a writer

An inspirer

A good singer

My very first piano teacher

My adviser

He will direct you like a compass

And often trap you in his vocabs

Like a hunter.

His smiles are so infectious and contagious

So hard to be cured like Ebola,

Never willing to miss a thing

So his lips he never rests

Till his doubts are settled

And questions digested.

He is my sail when at sea

My dreams he helps me see

So his advises in troubled times I seek

He is a brother, and a friend

He is Joseph T. Elisha

And as I say happy birthday

And all I meant to say is

May God bless you now and always.

WHERE YOU STAND

The weight is too much

I cannot lift it all alone

But it seems I am the only one

Lifting at my end,

And your end.

I cannot do this alone

I cannot love you alone

Without you loving me back.

This weight of love is heavy

And I cannot lift it all alone.

So do not just stand in it looking-

Get involved!

Do not sit in it

For it will work together well-

I know!

If you lift where you stand.
