Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour”— William Blake

  • Face Your Fears

    by

    , , , ,

    So many times, we give up on our hopes, dreams, aspirations because of fear. We let our fears overwhelm us and stop us from rising higher than where we are. Choose today to face your fears.

    FACE YOUR FEARS
    .
    For long have I being held back
    From doing the things I can
    Things I know that I’m best at
    It’s this fear that’s held me back

    It’s this fear of the unknown
    Fear of being judged or ignored
    Fear of failing and not rising
    So much ‘what-ifs’ in my head

    But that fear I shall ignore
    I’ll be confident and sure
    I’ll look fear right in the eye
    And say ‘You’re no match for me’
    ‘You are not holding me back
    From doing what I’m best at’

  • Lily Among Thorns

    LILY AMONG THORNS
    .
    Pretty, soft, pure and white
    Growing by the riverside
    Blooming, charming day and night
    Floating above waters high
    All around her beauty charms
    Are thorns with such prickly sight
    Ready to inflict some pain
    And choke out her blissful state
    Then must she tread carefully
    As a lily among thorns

    Inspired by Songs of Solomon 2:2

  • Rabbit and bear poem

    by

    , , ,

    Rabbit and bear were best of friends
    Rabbit and bear went out to play
    Rabbit and bear saw an apple
    Rabbit and bear want the apple
    Rabbit and bear don’t want to share
    Rabbit and bear begin to fight
    Rabbit and bear fight each other
    Rabbit and bear hurt each other
    Rabbit and bear hit the apple
    Rabbit and bear loose the apple
    Rabbit and bear feel sad and blue
    Rabbit and bear hug each other
    Rabbit and bear don’t fight again
    Rabbit and bear learns a lesson
    “It’s is good to share, don’t be stingy”

  • On a Sunday Morning

    by

    , , ,

    Here’s a poem to lighten up your Sunday…

    ON A SUNDAY MORNING
    .
    As I wake up from my sleep
    So does my heart start to leap
    Because it’s Sunday morning

    The air is warm and lovely
    The birds on the tree are singing
    On this beautiful Sunday morning

    The bells begin to chime
    This is the perfect time
    To go to the house of God
    And worship Jesus our Lord

    How I love Sunday morning
    The divinely created morning
    For us to sing praises
    To Him in our different languages

    Such wonderful Sunday morning
    Full of happiness
    And joyful gladness!

  • Bliss

    by

    , , ,

    A poem for nature lovers

    BLISS
    .
    Blue sky and orange clouds
    A blissful sunset at his peak
    Green grass and brown soil
    Provides all comfort that I seek
    Bird songs and splashing falls
    Spells away all worries far
    Light breeze and soft grass
    To pure joy there is no bar
    Right here and right now
    I rest my eyes and drift away

  • There’s a beautiful place…

    by

    THERE’S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE

    There’s a beautiful place
    Where the flowers grow bright
    And the wind plays round

    There’s a beautiful place
    Where the sun shines bright
    And the birds give a melodious sound

    There’s a beautiful place
    Where the stars in the night
    Shine with beauty all around

    There’s a beautiful place
    Where the streams flow right
    And waters Eastward-bound

    There’s a beautiful place
    Where all pain is gone
    And all dreams come true

    There’s a beautiful place
    Waiting for me…

  • Father’s Day

    by

    ,

    A father’s love is special and important in the life of every child. As we celebrate our earthly fathers, let’s not forget to show love to the fatherless and to the orphans. Let them know that we have an heavenly father who will always be with us.

  • On a Rainy Day

    ON A RAINY DAY
    .
    Pretty diamond crystals
    Running on my window
    Making pretty patterns
    I’m here to say hello

    Wetting all my flowers
    Just to make them grow
    Making all that music
    What a lovely show

    When the show is over
    Out I’ll go to play
    Splash in many puddles
    On this rainy day

  • Shining star

    by

    , , ,

    Welcome to the month of May! This season, may we shine bright like the stars we are. Follow Grace Damilola Poetry on Facebook and Instagram for more content:-)

    SHINING STAR

    A star is a shining light
    The shining star shines bright;
    Just as stars shine in the sky,
    So do humans rise up high

    All humans have a star
    Which is meant to shine far
    But some are veiled from sight
    While some do not shine bright

    A star’s glory is in its light
    A star without light is a shameful sight
    I want to be the shining star
    Rising high and shining brighter
    Trying to make the world better

    I want to be a wonder to the world
    And by nobles and great men called
    I want to be a shining star
    The one that will make and not mar.

  • Easter poem

    by

    , ,

    JESUS IS ALIVE FOREVER

    Ring the bell, ring it loud
    Make a glad and joyous sound

    Jesus rose from the grave
    He has come to heal and save

    Joy for all and hope for man
    Life and light is free for man

    He arose to paradise
    He made all the sacrifice

    Ring the bell, ring it loud
    Jesus is alive forever
