And the hunted becomes the hunter

A forlorn gaze at the clear sky
Hosting birds sweetly flapping their wings
Not a care in the world for the wry
Happily occupied with his blings.

A second gaze at the birds
Reminds one never to despair
Alas, the rising dirges
Drowns every feelings of cheer.

The custodian unbeknown to him
Reclining upon his loyals' bossom
While Suffering no sight so dim
Only a detachment from the doom.

How long shall he dally
While his people needlessly fall?
Amidst the confusion up his alley
Clear proof of an unprepared call.

A little more sleep
A little more slumber
Until loud wailing the land sweep
And the hunted becomes the hunter

How long shall we pray
Amidst so much inaction?
Waiting for the big brothers to sway
And help #bringbackourgirls.

When shall the custodians be awaken
From their drowning slumbers?
Unto the realities of the stricken
And save the hunted from the hunters.

DIY: 15mins Easy Peasy Wrap Skirt

6 years ago when hubby-to-be and I decided to take that bold leap, I went hunting for the right material to make a nice outfit for our *introduction program and soon made me a nice skirt and blouse for the 'do'. Fast forwarded to 2013, my dress size understandably changed from 6 (yes I was a sz 6) to 10 and there was no other option than to give out my much loved outfit to someone who is slimmer. Only hitch being that the scarf went into hiding at the time I gave it away only to resurface last week from its hiding place deep within the closet.

Helping Kids Choose Career Paths

Source My 6yr old little man, D1 now wants to be a Doctor, a Chef and a Teacher. Together. D2 is now 4yrs and still wants to be a Doctor . You ever seen anyone with combined honors a la career before? Maybe it's going to start with my boy, D1. Don't. Dare. Laugh. Yet. Remember this post where he wanted to be a Doctor, an Engineer and a Pastor? Now the tides have apparently turned and the Pastor option has been eliminated in less than a year and the Chef option introduced into the equation.

From The Heart of A Toddler

  Source I go to bed every night with smiles playing on my lips and I personally don't think there can be anything cuter or more inspiring than a 'special' nighttime prayer, consistently from the innocent heart of a 4year old boy. You don't agree? Ok check this scenario out. In Jesus Name Nobody will die in Jesus name Fire will not burn our house in Jesus name Fire will not burn my school in Jesus name Fire will not burn my TV in Jesus name Fire will not burn my toy..*insert name one after the other*.. in Jesus name Mummy will not die in Jesus name Mummy's head will not ache in Jesus name Daddy will not die in Jesus name Daddy will not have accident in Jesus name D2....*randomly insert friends, uncles and aunties names one after the other*...will not die in Jesus name Eeeeeeeverybody will not die in Jesus name Allow us to have food in Jesus name Allow my friends to have food in Jesus name Don't allow me to wee wee on my bed in Jesus name ...
