Fail to mention. . .

Sir there is a girl in this town
I thought I could live without her round
But I can't go on till I make her mine
But I may need your help before I'm out of time
See you feel the earth move whenever she smiles
She loves like a woman but laughs like a child

When was the last time someone expressed how much they couldn't live life without you?  You might be the target of someone's affection but have no idea. How are you supposed to know how to read the signs then?  Either you rely on them blurting out exactly how they're feeling or you have to ask to make sure.  Do people make observations about you and then tell you what they are observing?  It feels like you're the subject of a "personality audit" and they're examining character traits or mannerisms that you have.  They call you out on it and ask you whether you wanted to know so that you can adjust yourself accordingly or just be made aware of what you do.  Is this what you need help with before you run out of time? Isn't a woman allowed to laugh like a child when she feels like it?

And did I fail to mention that she is so beautiful
Hair like a waterfall sent from above 
And did I bring attention to how she's so wonderful
She could make anyone fall so in love

How are you with taking compliments?  You might not think much of anyone paying you compliments on how you look.  You might think that it's important to hear what someone thinks of you.  What compliments do you actually got though?  Women usually get compliments on their hair, clothes, overall physical appearance. Men notice women's hair.  It's a funny statement to make, but it's something I know to be true. Whether to keep your hair perfectly coiffed or flying free as you please, is completely up to you.  Women need to remember what makes them wonderful and how they can make anyone fall in love.  Who is falling in love with you today?


And I don't know her name or where she lives
Won't somebody take me to where she is
I can't take another second another minute
If not for her face I'd be losing my faith
See she makes the sun shine on the cloudiest day
You feel like you're floating when she looks your way

There might be moments where you see someone familiar when you are out and about but you never have the chance to truly make the connection.  You recognise that the moment is important but it is fleeting and if anything, it teaches you about how temporary time really is when you don't pay attention.  Has someone come looking for you when you least expect?  What does he see in your face?  He thinks often about having the need to see your face so that he can see what exactly what thoughts fill your head, because the emotions must show there, especially in your eyes, how you move your lips and forehead.  What meanings can he draw from your facial expressions?  Can you see him floating away?

Hair like a waterfall sent from above
And did I bring attention to how she's so wonderful
She could make anyone fall so in love

What point is there telling us how beautiful she is when you have not told her to her face?  Will she ever know what compliments you have in store for her, when she will never hear them escape your lips?  Whether we want to pursue our love interests or not, it all starts with a glimmer of recognition.  It starts with an awareness that your interest is piqued.  You start to consider the list of character traits in your head as if it's a list of likes and dislikes.  Will you listen to constructive criticism and change yourself accordingly?  Maybe you noticed that you were being watched and decided to slip away instead.  If you decided to leave unnoticed, slipping away quietly into the darkness, he wouldn't realise till much later that you had gone.  That's something he probably would fail to mention. . .

Closer. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...

Have you ever seen the rain? . . .

Comin' down on a sunny day. . .  Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know it's been comin for some time When it's over so they say It'll rain a sunny day I know shinin' down like water Learning to be prepared for any given event is something that you should be able to do. I've recently discovered this amazing artist named Josh Tatofi.  I think the reason why I love his voice so much is because he sounds like my late husband.  The same smooth vocal line, the effortless way in which he dances along the melody line and does his own background harmonies reminds me so much of Loma's insistence on perfection when it came to singing, as much as he joked around about just singing for fun.  I love the arrangement of the song - it's fresh, easy going and laidback and it's something you can easily bob your head along to in the car or wherever you seem to be travelling to or from. I want to know Have you ever seen the rai...

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . .  God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life.  It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things.  What people think of us.  How we act towards said people.  We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold.  We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about.  When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else.  How many times have you been rescued?  Did you ask to be rescued?  Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you?  Maybe yes.  Maybe no.  But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...
