MY WEDDING DAY

On my Wedding Day👰

I heard ladies are relatively more excited about weddings
Than guys,
Well,
That may be ‘not applicable’ in my case
I think I am more tensed than excited
Because I will have a lot to do.

I will like to sit by the window of the car painted lavender and navy blue
Looking into the snow, like I wasn’t born in America😝
Because I will like to envision the colour of the Accra ‘tro-tro’
To paint the sunflower I received the day I said ‘Yes’, I’ll try

Nothing exotic really,
Just a group of fine people who will need to enjoy local, classic and dance Waltz
“Hosanna” by Koda, Ewe Medley by Joe Mettle, ''Joyful Noise'' by Eben.
'It all comes down to love by Bebe Winnans, The prayer by Donnie McClurkin and Yolanda Adams
The playlist goes better with my special dedication to Mum,
Dolly Paton’s ''Coat of Many Collars''
Don’t ask me how it fits.😂

I will be very busy
Because I have to do a duet, sing a solo
And chew a cake
And drink the wine.
I need to be dressed for tennis, right afterwards🏃
Visit the library, right afterwards
Go the cinema, right afterwards,
Right before, I’ll run into the street
Grab a pen and a paper,
To write my last poem before I take a new name.
Because this wedding is a continuous word, ending with ‘ing’
It continues beyond 24hours.

I’ll be very busy,
Because I’ll have an average of about 29,200 wedding days.
Yes!
For over 80 years,
I’ll be marrying the same person every day.💝

White is the norm,
Well, white it shall be only with little touches of gold.
Dress is the norm,
Well, how about a white suit?😵
Don’t go crazy on me yet!

I will like to make it open to the less privileged homes
Order that the lunch be distributed across the streets.
So that, I may celebrate my wedding with people who neither know me nor probably have heard of me.
There is something about the unidentified angels in our lives,
Like Abraham, I’ll serve them.😊
They, on the streets, gave me 1000 reasons I must study and be all I can be.

The Wedding doesn’t need a bridal train
Goodness and mercy shall follow me.💃
But I’ll need a little bit of makeover💇
A pomade of anointing oil, the fragrance of the cinnamon,
Syzygium aromaticum
I’ll sure look stunningly👰 beautiful.
And smelling indelibly amazing!


Finally, I will like to do the most outrageous thing.
Go to the MOON👭
Sorry, you are not invited there😆

THE PROVERBS 31 MAN

Image
Love Is Waiting Series. Ep. 3 It is so easily we ask for a woman with a ‘ Proverbs 31 Status’ . I mean it is only natural we all desire good things. So when I often hear men pray for a proverbs 31 woman, I am not surprised. This only made me curious to find this woman. Is she in me? How can I bring her in? She is not a woman, she is a personality and everyone can be her. Very often we place our 100% focus on the proverbs 31 woman. Yes, she deserves it. ‘A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised (Prov. 31:30 ). It took a wise King 31 chapters to find this woman. She didn’t even come in the early half of the last chapter of Proverbs, she comes at the last. This woman must be great, virtuous, adorned with jewels beyond that in this world. She must be a gift of God woven in human flesh. She must be a woman with a difference. It says all have done well but this woman surpasses them all. Wow! If excellence means going beyond the mark, like when your green Khaki shorts goes bey

IF VALENTINE REFUSES TO COME (A good relationship deserves the opportunity to work)

Image
Final Episode, Love-Is-Waiting Series. Valentine in this piece of art is indicative of perfection. Hence the title can also translated as ‘If Perfection Refuses to Come’ (Let’s give our relationships the opportunity to work💝) Scene One (Standing words) Liz👩: The first day I thought of you, I was in a mess. God sent you as a message to fix me, I guess. You are a Rubik’s cube solved right. Victor👨 : The first day I set my eyes on you was the day I said my goodbyes to my mind’s personal space. You invaded my thoughts and even if I were to be Scofield, I wouldn't have been able to break free from the prison you placed my heart in with your body's movement and your vocal discipline. Liz👩: If words have the power to heal, then you are my doctor😎. Victor👨: You see, when you spoke, I knew God had listened to my prayers. You were everything I dreamt of,  And your specifications were perfect enough to match my missing rib. Liz👩: The first day I to

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE (YOLO)

YOLO! (You Only Live Once)😋😋😋 Specially dedicated to the ever-buzzing Millennials. ‘ Once in a lifetime means there is no second chance’ Troy Bolton’s starting line in High School Musical 2. How much of the things which we only have once have we cherished? A perfect example is your mother and father, you can only have one (biological). I want to touch the surface of the most clear of all, life. You only have one life to live as a human being. I don’t know how this makes you feel. But whenever I realize this I reckon I must get everything right as much and as fast as I can. I must make a pathway to live after I am gone and that can only be by passing on something of a legacy to the next generation. Welcome to YOLO where you only live once. If your lifetime is not enough for you then you are the laziest man in the world. Howbeit that we find difficulty in feeding others with the only things money can’t buy, such as charity, patience, joy. We are selectively greedy

LIFE IS LIKE READING A BOOK (Personal development is not an option, it is necessity)

Image
Similes & Metaphors Episode 2 I have met people who misuse the phrase ‘ accept me for who I am’ or ‘ No one is perfect’ . Well, you won’t think twice😏 to return your mathematics textbook if everything is in disorder grammatically and pictorially (even though it is not supposed to be an English or Visual art textbook). People accepting you for who you are is not an excuse to fail to develop yourself. In this age personal development is as essential as the air we breathe. Many relationships that started well ended abruptly because someone kept it in mind he was a liar before they met, she knew it and still loved him, therefore he should continue to be one.  A book is not all about the story. In fact it is 30% the story and 70% how the writer explains the story. An author must review and edit the book over and over again to make it perfect. If you ever read a book full of errors you will know how annoying it is. It is like pouring water into a basket because you struggl

The WHOSOEVERS

                  The WHOSOEVERs A poem written by Elizabeth Ewudiwa. Based John 3:16 (...whosoever believeth) Possi.. possibly your people can be saved but not by me I, I am Moses a stammerer No one sends a person like me to evangelize I am Abigail, just a girl Ordinary and unable to catch the attention of the even the smallest crowd of men. I am Pinky, Brain is who I call my elder brother The least in my family, too young to lead the people You say I should be Mickey Mouse, saving the world But I am Gideon, the one who’s locked up in the valley Of self-pity With hands trying to escape but tied to the vein of my bones. Maybe I can rise to speak, but to lead? Not I Think again, you probably mistook me for another, the dice over rolled this time Lord Or I wrongly showed up at the wrong place EXCUSES WE GIVE TO BE EXCUSED FROM THE MISSION WE ARE ALREADY INCLUDED EXCLUSIVE MISTAKES WE MAKE GIVING REASONS TO ESCAPE THE SEVERE JUDGMENT OF NOT WINN
