To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour”— William Blake

  • Good Friday poem

    by

    ,

    Today we remember his death
    How he was buried in dirt
    How he went through pain
    For our justification and gain
    How he was whipped
    Afflicted and stripped
    Like a criminal was he treated
    So that death be defeated
    Shame and sorrow he bore for us
    Stripes and wounds he endured for us
    He descended into the depths of hell
    To save us from sin when Adam fell
    He chose to be cursed for our sake
    Eternal life he gave for us to take
    He conquered death and sin
    Gave us a chance to win
    He died for you and I
    He came to lift us high
    From sin and filth
    From dirt and silt
    Today we remember his death
    The death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  • SHE’S A WOMAN

    by

    ,

    Happy international women’s day 🥳. Women are amazing individuals achieving great feats in our world today. For long, women have been discriminated against in different areas especially in politics and government. This year’s theme #BreakTheBias is calling on women to take a stand and fight against discrimination and bias. Women are CAPABLE. In celebration of Women’s day, here’s a poem I wrote (as promised)

    SHE’S A WOMAN
    .
    She is beautiful, she is great
    She is wonderful, up to date
    She is courageous, she’s a hero
    She’s a warrior, not a zero
    She is ambitious, she is smart
    She is clever, she’s not daft
    She is confident, she is boss
    She is gold, and not just dross
    She is a gem, she is rare
    She’s unique, she’ll truly care
    She’s a star, she is sterling
    She’s a flower, she’s a darling
    She’s an empress, she’s a Queen
    She rules the world, she’s sure to win
    She is you, she is me
    She’s a Woman; so is she

  • LET’S SHOW LOVE

    LET’S SHOW LOVE
    .
    Let’s show love
    To the ones in need
    To those who are good
    And kind in deed

    Let’s show love
    To the little ones,
    Orphans and widows
    And he who mourns

    Let’s show love
    To our moms and dads,
    Neighbours and strangers,
    Lasses and lads

    Let’s show love
    To that broken heart,
    That distant friend,
    Who needs a pat

    Let’s show love
    To the little pets,
    The chirping birds
    In their tiny nests

    Let’s show love
    To the world around
    No matter the tribe
    We’re duty bound

  • OPEN YOUR EYES

    by

    ,

    Sunday motivation from Grace Damilola Poetry. Follow Grace Damilola Poetry on Facebook and Instagram @Gracedamilolapoetry for more poems🙂

    OPEN YOUR EYES
    .
    Everyday we pass by
    Numerous opportunities lay by
    But we fail to see them
    Our eyes are strict and firm

    Many resources lay around us
    All for each one of us
    But they lay a waste
    Of its use, our eyes don’t have a taste

    For how long will we refuse to see
    The resources and opportunities at sea
    They surface everyday batch by batch
    But we pass by everyday without a catch

    We are so unwilling to see new ways
    We remain so stuck to our old ways
    We complain of poverty and hunger in the land
    It’s all because we refuse to look at our hand

    Open your eyes and see
    Open them, let them be free
    To see and appreciate nature around us
    To have a chance to taste the waters around us

    The delicious sight of resources
    All from various sources
    The fragrant view of opportunities
    Such amazing abilities

    Let us open our eyes to see
    The resources and opportunities at sea.

  • TRUST IN THE LORD

    by

    , ,

    Trust! Trust! Trust!
    Who can I trust?
    I feel so lost
    The world is so unjust

    Brothers betray
    Sisters lead astray
    Kids have lost their way
    What more can I say?

    Man is at his worst
    His heart is filled with lust
    For money ill-sourced,
    He’s ready to be cursed

    In ambush they lay
    Every night and day
    Ready to slay
    To get a bloody pay

    Give no one total trust
    Man is vain and filled with lust
    Trust in God; He’ll make a way
    That is all I have to say

  • THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL YEAR

    by

    Good day from Grace Damilola Poetry. The new year is usually accompanied with new plans, goals, resolutions and so on but there is one cogent key we need to achieve our plans for the year. This short poem reveals the key to a successful year. Enjoy!

    THE KEY
    .
    The journey of an achieved goal
    Begins with a step
    Planning and preparation
    Would surely help

    Who begins a new journey
    Without preparing at all?
    When challenges come,
    Such will surely fall

    Plan and prepare
    That is the key
    To achieve your goals
    For the whole world to see.

    Happy New Year!

    2021 has been quite a year but all thanks be to God for sparing us to be alive in the new year. This is a piece from my heart to you in this new year.

    As the hours pass by,
    We anticipate a glorious end
    End of another
    Successful year
    Though it could have been tough
    Though it could have been rosy
    But what makes it successful
    Is the fact that we
    Survived

    A year is not a fleeting second
    But a lot of days and months
    If you could survive,
    You should be thankful
    To your maker

    Another year, we’re set to take
    May it be full of blessings,
    Joy, laughter and miracles
    May those we hold so dear
    Remain closer to us
    May our enemies
    Remain under our feet
    May we live to see
    The end of many more
    Successful years. ©️Grace Damilola Durosaro
