WHEN THE MUSIC FADES

When the music fades
And the beautiful rhythm dies out
When we finally realized
That we are gradually reaching the end
The once anticipated journey
Is gradually reaching its finals

When it dawned on us
That the dawn is long gone
And we are closer to dusk
Dawn –Dusk; what a short time
And the events from the morn
Systematically flashes back on us
Causing our heart to “quake”
And our knees to wobble

What we eagerly anticipated earlier
Is fast turning to our worst nightmare
What we thought was not IT
Is fast becoming IT
What we thought were shadows
Now happened to be more real
Our ever trusted sense of judgment
Now becomes elusive and evasive

Ironic, how the most admired rose
Now shrieks in the pit of despair
How the once vigorous grass blade
Now twist itself in the oblivion of shame
The best of the best method
Incapable of restoring their glory
Some survive till its night
Some were plucked before blossoming
Others mysteriously met their waterloo
But one thing was common to all
They all met their their END

Some of us are in our dawn, others are past dawn, some in the noon, and others are coasting home. What becomes of us at the end would be the result of how we spent the day, what we gave ourselves to, how we spent our lives. When we eventually realized that what we gallivanted and bask about was supposed to be our SOLE RESPONSIBILITY. Let’s sum it up with these beautiful lyrics.

When it’s all been said and done
There is just one thing that matters
Did I do my best to live for truth?
Did I live my life for you?

When it’s all been said and done
All my treasures would mean nothing
Only what I have done for lord’s reward
Would stand the test of time
.
.
When it’s all been said and done
You are my life when life is gone
.
.
ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL.

Man is like the grass that dies away and all his beauty fades like dying flowers. The grass withers and the flowers fade but the word of our God shall stand forever. Isaiah 40:6-8

For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. James 4:14

Don't you care?

I came across this piece some years back, did some modifications; I just hope the message remains intact. Enjoy!!! You are driving home after a tiresome and energy-sapping day at work, you decided to tune your radio to hear the local news, you heard the breaking news that a small town in India has been struck with a strange disease, leaving about four people dead already, you don't give it much of a thinking at first- at least people die every day. You got home into the warm embrace of your wife and only son, after your meal, you settled to listen to the evening news and you heard that there is more to the news  its not only a town but three hundred towns with lots of people dead and still counting, but still it never got your attention because Chelsea is playing Barcelona in the champions league semi final that same night. You woke up the next morning and the headline news was that, the symptoms of this disease is now in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Qatar, Kuwait and  infact the whole

The real cost

Thanking  @ jossef69 for his help in tweaking (as he choose to call it) this piece. Check him out here . One of the greatest expenses you will ever have in your life is opportunity cost- Warren Buffet. Chief Peter had an accident and lost his car; a GMC 2014 limited edition. He was en route to present the classy wheels to his daughter on her 21st birthday. Mister Paul also had an accident with his 1996 model Beetle that managed to double as a private vehicle and a taxi. It happened on one of his incessant visits to the doctor…. oh, mechanic. Here are the questions before us: What is the common factor? Both of them lost their cars in an accident. How are they different? One has fleet of cars; the other has fleet of cares. What is the cost of the accident? The former loses a little portion of his salary’s worth while the latter have creditors breathing down his neck. What is the opportunity cost? For Chief, it is the daughter’s goodwill he would have enjoyed as a result of surp

Your Future

                YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS        A brilliant and godly young man I know was asked a question during his sending off ceremony in an organization, the question was that “what would he have corrected if he is able to roll back the hands of time” and the answer he gave was that he would have chosen to have another father…wow…so shocking and thought provoking. So you mean of all the mistakes, erroneous guesses, choices and the “what if’s” he had committed in his two dozen plus years he has lived. T’was the “error” of having a “bad” father he would have loved to correct. But come to think of it, was it his undoing that made him had a bad father? Whose fault? That is one of the most bitter pill or better still bitter-sweet pill to swallow in our world. Some things are just of our control.      Okay now, let’s take for example, if the almighty gave me a choice prior to my birth, I would have chosen to be born probably in the united states or one of the developed count
