Comfortable Hands

Welcome home Zara
It's time to join your sister Nala
I'm a complete man
I'm content 
I'm grateful
I'm blessed
This was always part of God's plan

After my parents only had boys
It was time for us to buy new toys
Different outfits
Different interactions
Emotion's expressions
Legacy
Diverse generations
A plan that just fits 

We are living in the day and time
Where my girls will raise their voices anytime
Speak their minds
Have equal rights
Name their choices 
Highly appreciated
Agape loved
Take routes of all kinds

Me and your mama love you a lot 
And I 
I'll give you a kiss before I put you in your cot 
Hug you as I'm saying goodnight
Read you a book 
Sing you a song 
Pray for you 
Shield you with love 
Assure you that you'll wake up alright 

Our hearts will always be your safest heaven
Our doors will always be open 24/7
We'll hear you out
Share our wisdom
Encourage you 
Hug you with hope 
Pray to increase your faith 
If you need anything 
I mean anything 
Just give us a shout 

In us you'll always find 

Comfortable Hands

Straight From The Heart

One of the best things I love about writing,
Is writing straight from the heart,
This way I don't have to think much about what I'm saying,
Writing is more than just a piece of art. 

I write to connect, help and invite people in my world, 
I have my own way that I love to tell a story, 
Words mean a lot, you can make or break people through every word, 
Writing can be a remedy for hurtful ancient history. 

My aim is not to write for the whole world to read, 
But to write to that little boy who needed to hear these words from my lips, 
Be the tool that will fix every broken part and the breath of fresh air that people need, 
Be genuine and unapologetic for telling the truth every troubled and conditioned mind intentionally skips. 

My ancestors used to tell stories straight from the heart, 
They set down around fire, singing, dancing and laughing, 
Telling stories that corresponded with every art, 
As descendants they showed us how to be professionals without any degrees for music, dancing or acting. 

We've complicated things, art is meant to come straight from the heart, 
Doing it with no other hidden agenda but pure love, 
The great start in redoing all this will be, every artist playing their part, 
Hold each other's hand and seeking words of wisdom from above. 

Straight From The Heart

Why We Are Really Here

Sometimes we get caught up in this world's politics, religions, myths and stereotypes to an extent that we forget why we are really here.

Gifts

The gifts you were given before birth are the very same gifts you should be giving to the world.

Selection of Images

Memory is a selection of images, some elusive, others imprinted indelibly on the brain, 
We choose which ones to visit from time to time, 
We select good memories, good times just so that we can avoid the ones dressed in pain, 
We want to be free from slavery of our own thoughts, just like how some of us avoid crime. 

We choose the type of people we hangout with,
We, the people with conscience daily seek to do good deeds, 
We choose our own happiness and beliefs just so that we don't choose the myth,
We want to make sound decisions in life so we listen attentively as one reads. 

The images I select are the good ones I call happy memories,
The ones I don't are when life was not very nice to me, not the things I did, 
What gets me really excited is that I have more happy memories and stories, 
I don't wanna brag but I started helping people anonymously since I was a kid. 

I don't like recognition for doing good things, 
I feel like it erases the point why I'm doing it in the first place, 
It is knowing that I'm here in this world for a greater purpose that gives me eagle's wings, 
I leave enough time and room in my mind for creative space. 

I stay in a happy mood so that I can freely create, 
I create happy stories, songs and things that will last for generations to come, 
I moved to Australia just so that I can find that real mate, 
I'm proud of my choices, I'm proud of where I'm going and I'm proud of where I'm from.

Family of Four

After we arrived at the hospital 
A safe, fast and natural birth brought us someone little
She was born with a sack on her face 
My wife just won a very important race 

We are all really excited about this
This is a moment I wouldn't wanna miss 
A miracle on a Sunday morning 
A quick labour that hardly had any warning 

Big sister Nala came to see her little sister Zara 
They had a play and lots of words to say 
Life is way better than ever before 
Now that we are a family of four 😃

Happy Fourth Wedding Anniversary

I proposed in Singapore, had holidays there and in Malaysia, ate great food, went paragliding and had lots of fun. 

We got married the following year at Poets Lane in the Dandenongs (Melbourne) on the 1st of April 2013. 

1st wedding anniversary we went back to Poets Lane to the same luxurious room we had on our wedding day. 
2nd wedding anniversary we went to Durban at Umhlanga (South Africa) with a pregnant wife that I surprised with another luxurious room near a swimming pool. 
3rd wedding anniversary we were in Hillcrest, with a date box and lots of games to play. 
4th wedding anniversary we went to a beautiful Warrandyte's (Melbourne) restaurant. The fountain and the river perfecting the moment as we enjoyed our meals. 
I brought our traditional and western wedding's albums. We reflected in all the good times we shared over the years. Great memories and stories. 
My wife pregnant with our second baby. We wrote our favourite childhood memories. We also went by the river where I declared encouraging words to our beautiful daughter on the way. Katie and I both wrote her letters. What a great day it was and what a great life I've shared with this gorgeous wife of mine. I'm looking forward to more years to come. 

On this fourth year of marriage, I'm a happiest man than I've ever been. There will be four of us soon. The words are just not enough to describe the joy in my heart.  

Happy Fourth Wedding Anniversary
