TO MY DEAREST MOM By: kosoko Damilola

I really mean it when I say I love you so much
Any pain and trouble that will make us apart,I'll never pray for such
I can spend eternity to share your caring tales with my children's children
I'm a mere inscription
My mom is the crayon

No one can ever be so perfect to be all favorable colour
But I'll always and forever need you mom to complete a loving picture
You truly know how to live life without growing old
Because you are always their for me to always lean on
You give of yourself;not just to family and friends,but to everyone
You always touch my heart without knowing it
You stood still to love me still,even when life gives a heat

I love the way you give your love
You truly understand what it means to really love
You show me love by giving it from your own unprotected heart
You've given me in many ways that can only be seen by the heart.

Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift. ©-Marvee
