A roller-coaster on a velocity that is totally uncontrollable
A fire that ignites, goes out of bounds and wipes the greens away
Usually very brief yet highly intense
Like a downpour of rain which should bring blessings
But, ironically destroys all the lovely, attractive and historic structures
That took one almost a lifetime to build
Very easy to wreck; its destruction almost impossible to re-build such fondness
What could have been averted just within a split second
Alas!
It stings so deep that such wounds are nursed almost for a lifetime
When we already spoilt a supposed pleasant supper
Realization comes in
What often times could have been avoided
We allow ourselves to wallow in such myopic feelings of the moment
And allow it to bring out the foolishness in us.

SHOW ME A FAITHFUL STEWARD By Esther Esuga
Diligent in his responsibilities
Takes great delight in life's little gifts
Remembers the days of humble beginnings and never haughty in spirit
Handles his only talent with great enthusiasm
Does not feel that bravery lies in the act of insults
A faithful steward
Has respect for people placed in the position of power and authority
One who is meek and open to corrections
Hungry for wise counsel
Never ungrateful because of his understanding of the circle of life
He knows, PEOPLE ALWAYS NEED PEOPLE.
