Dear Woman

*Dear Woman*

Dear Woman
Do not be ashamed of who you are
For you are the pillar of strength and power
For ages you have been our world's caregiver
Nature's true mother
And God's own ambassador
The world is formed from you and you complete it
You are the diamond that glitters in bright light in this dark world today
You are a symbol of love, tenderness and care
If only you knew how precious you are
Oh dear woman

Dear Woman
Did you ever know that you are a man's joy and happiness
His wise counsel and oracle of wisdom
Yet your value is not much appreciated in a man's world
You suffer silently and quietly out of love for everybody's sake
You rise early morning to attend to your family
You ensure everyone is cared for
But who cares for you?
Yet you put on a brave face and a smile and stand beside the man who takes all your glory
If only I could take your pain and sorrow away
And replace with endless joy
Just for you to shout and leap for joy
Oh dear woman


Dear Woman
Now your time has come to take your rightful place
With confidence in yourself and boldness
Your new world is set before you
Take hold of it and claim your freedom
No more tears  no more sorrows
No more playing second best
No more feeling unworthy
No more feeling sorry for yourself
It is your time to shine
And that time is now
You are a queen
Get ready to put your crown of glory back on
And reign reign and reign
I honour you today and forever
Oh dear woman.

*Kwame Sarpong*

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...

Be a Generational Thinker

One of the greatest books I have ever read is Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela. In his book he talks about the importance of leadership through sacrifice and having a sense of responsibility to develop others as much as yourself. He is seen as an icon, a leader and a symbol of peace and inspiration, not just to his dear nation of South Africa but to the whole world. But let's ask ourselves here, what really made  Nelson Mandela such a celebrated person around the world???  Sacrifice !!!! His selfless sacrifice and desire to see white and black south Africans live in harmony together in the era of Apartheid took him to prison for 27 years. Even after his release from prison in 1990, he worked together with his haters and political opponents in the spirit of unity so that a nation which was once  divided and segregated white, black people, rich and poor people, educated and uneducated can live together as one people for the sake of his generation and generations y...

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...
