In Between Time

-
Between then and now,
Between morning and evening,
Between sunrise and sunset,
Are sequential spaces for our activities.

Between our infancy and adulthood,
Between our adulthood and our old age,
Between that experience and the next one
Between our birthdays and our death days,
Are special periods for our existence.

Between history and events of this hour,
Between the older generation and our generation,
Between our ancestors' whispers and our people's loud whistles,
Between values of yesterday and the hybrid values of our time,
Are subtle variations of what we cherish.

But in between the moments and time,
Can we say our value system can sustain,
Maintain and contain our excesses?
Can we say our children's children can withstand the tides of attacks on our dignity?

In between our little talks and thoughts,
Can we honestly say we are utilising the sequential spaces and special periods of our existence?
Is there something we can do better in between these intricate moments?
Is it possible we can rethink our value system?
Greetings

Don't Rush

Don't rush the process, Because growth is gradual and incremental. Don't rush the procedure, Because there is a reason why the seasons are so. Don't rush the strategy, Because every circumstance is meant to prepare you. Don't rush the methods, Because you need to learn the nuances of life. Don't rush the cycle of this day, Without smiling or learning something new. Perhaps while going through the day, we ought to PAY ATTENTION.  Sending you my best wishes for the new week. Kindly Take care and be good. Greetings. ©KYB ✍🏿28/08/23

A Valuable Duty

-
Image
In our quest to satisfy our daily needs of what to eat and wear, we very often forget or give less attention to the very things that equally needs our care.  Sometimes our busy schedules in search of money or comfort are making us take little care of some pertinent things in our lives that we ought to care about.  Oftentimes, we also become too petty, bemoan and complain too much of our challenges of what's not done or what's still needed to do. Today, in seeking a balance, may we always value the little things like our faith, integrity, concern for the human family. May we ever desire to respect human dignity and be prepared to summon the energies we are blessed with, to make the positive impact we intend to make. May we always be mindful of our duty to CARE, everywhere we find ourselves today. It is an honour to reach you again, this hour. Do have a wonderful day.  Take Care. God bless you.✨ Greetings  ©KYB ✍🏿13/10/2020
