Focus

Focus on what's more important, 

In life don't lose your main focus,

Some things are just unimportant, 

If you've deviated it's time to refocus. 

Money will always come and go, 

There are more important things, 

Maybe it's time for you to grow, 

And spread those sacred wings. 

Never work for your money, 

Let's money work for you, 

Enjoy outside it is sunny, 

Enjoy whatever you do. 

Focus on what you're good at, 

Do it often enough and perfect it, 

Build rapport, go on, have a chat, 

Submit to your dreams, never quit.

Life

Life without borders is awesome. 

Gogo's Back

As I climbed on Gogo's back 

I found a place for me to sleep  

I have a long tradition to track 

And all these great gifts to keep 

As I wake up to have a snack 

I look for milk for me to seep 

I have lots of milk for mum to pack 

And all these bottles for me to sweep

As I want my milk for dad to unpack 

I really don't care if he's fast asleep

I even don't care if what I see isn't all black 

Let me stop this poem before I go too deep

Gogo's Back 

South African Soil

On Sunday we were on the plane, 

We moved from Melbourne to Durban, 

Once you've started travelling, your head is always towards the sky, 

A part of you coexist in different continents, countries and cities. 

There is something so unique about moving back to South Africa, 

As the foot touches South African soil the feeling you have is this is home, The atmosphere gives you a huge hug as you land in this motherland, 

You see smiles everywhere from people who most have next to nothing. 

Travelling with our baby was a great experience, 

She slept most of the trip and behaved excellently, 

We couldn't have asked for a better baby, 

She just smiles and play like a princess. 

We are now settling in Durban after this long journey, 

A lot has changed, infrastructure is constantly improving, 

Prices for almost everything are constantly shooting up,

I salute people who are living here with stagnant salaries. 

Nevertheless we are so excited to be here,

We feel it in our guts that this is a right place to be and the right thing to do, 

We are back and my family is so excited to see our baby, 

We are guided by faith throughout our lives.

She Sleeps

She sleeps on my lap after a song, 

She sleeps on my chest after a cuddle, 

She sleeps at night and all day long, 

When she wakes up lots of fun we double. 

Her life is like a poem, intensity intertwined with calmness, 

Her cheeks are like marshmallows I'm constantly protecting them,  

Her scrutinising eyes are covered with brightness, 

Her calmness and cuteness makes people around go 'hmm'. 

She moves her hands as she sleeps, 

She makes many faces as she sleeps, 

She, she smiles as she sleeps, 

She's so peaceful as she sleeps. 

I often wonder what she's dreaming about, 

I often ask myself in which language is she dreaming? 

I can't wait for her to wake up and hear her shout, 

It's a great experience and a sound redeemer. 

During the busyness of life she sleeps, 

Call me bias but she's the best baby I've ever seen,

She's growing as she's sleeping to hangout with my peeps, 

She's cuter than the babies you've seen in the magazine. 

She Sleeps 

Lion Queen

Go to the restaurant and get food,  

With your strong body carry it home, 

Hunt for your family in every mood,  

Your skill proves you'll never roam. 

Lion Queen 

A lot is said about the Lion King, 

But you do most of the hunting, 

Cub rearing you have a lot to bring,

Out in the wilderness you're grunting. 

Lion Queen  

After bringing food home you eat last, 

You are a very kind creature lioness, 

You go hunting when nobody asked, 

I'm overwhelmed by your awesomeness.

Wedding Things

Before my wife and I got married, 

We were told that we gonna model this marriage thing, 

We are going to help lots of couples love well,

We were told that our awesomeness will draw people together, 

That's an awesome prophecy and now that we've been married for almost three years, 

Our bridal party is also getting married, 

They were not just our bridal party,

They are our best friends and we love them so much. 

I'm overwhelmed with love for these people, 

I wish them all the very best for their future plans, 

I pray that we have smart answers every time they seek words of wisdom, 

Advise to carry them through like how to love well. 

Nobody is an expert when it comes to these things, 

But I'm pretty sure we can all learn from one another,

We can wisely advise each other, recommend books and movies to watch. 

I love it when people love each other. 

Love one another, it's a commandment not even a request, 

Not from me but from God Himself, Love one another as I have loved you! 

I love and like my wife and baby Nala freely, 

Two weeks in a row we've been enjoying...

Wedding Things 

Hard Work

It's either you're working hard

Or you're hardly working

I've worked 12 hours straight

Just to look after my family 

I've stayed all night preparing 

Preparing for my family's future 

This life is not just about you 

It's about you and your family 

Release your strength like never before 

There will be great reward through

Hard Work 

As She Grows

I try to imagine how she will be like,  

Would she ask for something on her knees? 

I wonder if we will somehow be alike, 

Is she going to use key words like thank you, sorry and please. 

As She Grows

When I grew up I respected mum and dad so as a boy I became manlike, 

I was open minded as if I've travelled overseas, 

I hope that my baby girl as she grows up will do the same and be ladylike,

I hope that she will posses specific expertise. 

As She Grows 

I'll teach her what I know like how to ride a bike, 

I'll take her to the sea to enjoy sea breeze, 

I see myself in her, I hope she sees herself in me as we look alike, 

I'll teach her how to work hard and still approach life with ease. 

As She Grows 

I'll teach her how to dance and sing and how to perform holding a mic, 

I'll pay for all her expenses and her school fees, 

I'll teach her how to be a difference in this world by using her psych,

I'll tell her that respect for herself and others, hard work and education hold success' keys. 

 As She Grows 

Joy

Rooted deep within 

It is beyond happiness

I seriously love Joy

Last Piece

Who will take the last piece? 

That is how you'll see true character, 

From the plate, you can take.

Audience of One

It's a changing world 

People want different things

I only want one thing 

Audience of One  

(Senryu Poem)

Amazing Growth

It seems like you grow an inch every time I blink,  

Suddenly your eyes and mouth have a lot to say, 

It's not your fault, it's that milk you always drink, 

I always meet a new Nala each and everyday. 

I am here, to take a very good care of you, 

When we are in the mall people smile from every corner, 

You're Joy 'cause you bring joy in all you do. 

Your hugs are priceless, hold on a little bit longer. 

 Amazing Growth

Safety Sleep

As you go to bed, 

Just keep your face up and sleep 

Always dream bigger. 

Safety Sleep

(Senryu Poem)

Let it Rain

Take a centre stage in the pages of history, 

Let your life writes the lines the world wants to read, 

The lines the world wants to read and also don't want to read, 

Sometimes people don't want to hear the facts, 

They try to a amnesties the pain deep within, 

They just want to read and hear fairytales. 

They want to hear and make jokes all day until they are alone, 

Until they are alone to face the music, 

They then make unguided decisions, 

I've seen them, I knew them, who could have stopped them? 

When they did something stupid! 

They felt comfortable wearing the mask of joy while living in sorrow, 

You can pretend you're fine so long until reality strikes. 

Rain only matters to those who have seed on the ground. 

If you don't have seed on the ground rain is meaningless. 

You've been planting somethings, when the rain comes you can expect the harvest. 

Hold on just a little bit longer. 

The rain is coming to your house. 

The rain will wash all the dirt away, 

The rain will heal the pain deep within, 

The rain will strongly grow your kids, 

The rain will make you a brand new person, 

The world will raise the seed you've planted on the ground. 

Let it Rain 

Time After Time

Let me tell you about being free, 

Take a look and you'll find the key, 

We, will be where we need to be, 

I said, we will be where we need to be, 

Now relax, catch a breath and you will see. 

If you're lost you can look - and you will find me, 

Time after time, 

If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting, 

Time after time. 

To support you, I will work overtime, 

I will take you to the beach in summertime, 

I will cook you a meal and tell you it's dinnertime, 

After all spoiling you is not a crime, 

Yes, I love this poem because of its rhyme. 

If you're lost you can look - and you will find me, 

Time after time, 

If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting, 

Time after time. 

Time After Time

Her Eyes

She was born with beautiful eyes,

Half opened yet half closed,

No doubt she was born to be wise, 

Her beauty was unopposed. 

Eyes are the windows to the soul,

I knew her through her eyes, 

Fathering her is my every term goal, 

She surely was born to rise. 

It's like looking directly in the mirror, 

I surely see myself in her, 

I always want to hold her nearer, 

It's her I'll always prefer. 

Her big brown eyes take me miles, 

She's scrutinising things,

She stares at me as she smiles, 

It's joy Nala Joy Shozi brings. 

She brings hope to this world, 

She's not just my daughter, she's a friend, 

Wisdoms will come from every word, 

My love for her will never end. 

Her Eyes
