POEM: MY FRIENDS ARE MY ESTATES

My friends are my estates even in my lonely states

They are my advisers when I’m confused and desperate

And are always beside me even in my moody days

To me they are veritable values that can never be measured

So much pleasure I derive from them that I will always Treasure

They are my comfort and discomfort

Giving all to me in equal proportion

Likened to precious stones is their friendship to me

Can’t joke with them cuz they mean the world to me

Always looking up to the sky and Say God I thank You

For giving me the kind of friends in whose hearts I can seek refuge

We argue we fight and we quarrel a lot but we are always together

So obviously because we have fought so many battles together

Despite all odds, separation and distances, we are always getting closer

And often times I can’t stop but wonder what has kept our love stronger

They are mine; I am theirs, this is a bond shared among us forever

Because that undying spirit of true friendship is always keeping us together

Hey, don’t try, don’t even dare, cuz nothing can separate and put us asunder

This bond that we share is too special that it will only get you wondering why

But don’t because you might never understand.

Dedicated to all my friends out there...Love you guys much..

2016 Review: Voke Ogedegbe: 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far

2016 would forever become a memory in a matter of hours. Before it rolls away, I want to talk about my year 2016. I entered 2016 oblivious of the fact it was a new year, this, was, consequence of a terrible breakup I had in the October of the previous year. The tears and pain that came with my broken relationship saw me through the first two months of the year and one morning in the month of March, I woke up, looked into the mirror, told myself I was beautiful and I deserved more! I really think, the old witch in my village had dropped my picture to use another she fancied more than mine to fan her bosom and that's the only reasonable explanation as to how I received sense that morning. For the first few months of 2016, I laughed, sometimes, too hard. This was an attempt to mask my pain, I put up a nice show - I should be an actress, I even deserve an Oscar. I didn't want the world to know my pain, I didn't want them ...

A STORY...(TOUCHING): NEVER HOLD ON TO OFFENCES

Just two years after our marriage, my husband brought up the idea of asking his Mother to move from the rural hometown and spend her remaining years with us. His father passed away while he was still very young. His mum endured much hardship and struggled all on her own to provide for him, see him through to the university. You could say that she suffered a great deal and did everything you could expect or imagine of a woman to bring hubby to where he is today. I immediately agreed and started preparing the spare room, which has a balcony facing the South to let her enjoy the sunshine and plant greenery. Hubby stood in the bright room, and suddenly, he lifted me up and started spinning round and round. As I begged him to put me down, he said: “Lets go fetch mother”. Hubby is tall and big sized and I love to rest my head on his chest and enjoy the feeling that he could pick me up at any moment, put me as smallish as I am into his pocket. Whenever we have an argument and one of us ref...

Inspirational: One Day

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.' I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks.’ They really should get lives. 'He looked at me and said, 'Hey th...
