My mother is a busi woman

-


"Hi Mother!

It's been a while

How are you doing?"


In reality, it's been a while

She saw me

Busy with work

I doubt she knows my face 

But, her eyes beamed

Her lips almost a smile 

But her face motionless


"How can I help you "

My head spun

Shock! Must be an understatement

She's suppose to be my mother


I'm no client

Neither have I any business proposal

"Mother! Is that how you welcome your daughter?

I thought to greet you mother"


"Do you have Financial issues?"

She asked 

"No mother," I replied 

"Then why are you here?"

"To see and greet you ma,"

"You've seen me,

You can leave."

"Mother!

"If I leave, you may never see me again"

I said with teary eyes


She stood up,

Got a glass,

Poured herself a drink,

Raised it up and drank.

In essence, she doesn't care

Yet... she's my mother

Faith over Fear

 Faith Over Fear (2 Timothy 1:7) Before I rise from my bed, She’s standing right beside me. I open my eyes to her stare— She’s Fear. I jolt quickly. She smiles. “What will happen today? What if it doesn’t go as planned? What will you do?”  She asks them all at once. “I don’t know,” I reply weakly. She smiles brightly. “Why trouble Her?” Faith says. She hasn’t even said "good morning" to her Maker. Faith taps Fear. “I’ll take over from here,” Faith tells Fear, Then sits beside me. “Why not say ‘hi’ to the Master And tell Him the report you received from Fear, Seeing you have no answer of your own? For He said, "Worry not about anything, because He cares for you." He’ll take care of it. Let’s go about your day. I’m with you.” — Faith Over Fear ©EBUBE

KING'S DAUGHTER

Daughter's POV: " Am I the king's daughter? Or perhaps just part of the community Who believes because the king is lord He's both our father and king." " Am I the King's Daughter? After much struggle To gain entrance To his throne room I enter and voice my complaints He sits, watching me, and "All done" is all he says." "Maybe I complain a lot After all, that's what I'm good at Complaining and blaming everyone but me." King's POV: "Am I her father and king Or just a king?" "She comes in Once in a blue moon And of course, I'm glad to see her... But With a loud voice, she complains And makes atonement for offenses  Which of course, she will do again." "Should I tighten the entrance? Then she will have new complaints Of how hard it is To come see me, But I love to see her And watch her even as she rants and asks for things Which of course I don't refute" Daughter: "I know you don...

Life is a movie

 I sat to see a movie with Him— a very long movie. “Let's move to the interesting part,” I said. No comment, but it was fast-forwarded. “What happened here?” I asked. “It was explained in a previous scene,” He told me. And we went back and saw: through quiet days, long silences, ordinary mornings with no music. Back to the scenes I called boring— the waiting, the learning, the becoming. And I understood— the sweet scenes don’t stand alone. They are built on hours no one claps for. Most times you want the miracle but skip the process. Yet the parts you rush through are the very ones teaching you how to stand when the spotlight comes. Every scene matters, and the movie only makes sense when you watch it all the way through. ©Ebube
