Daddy are you going to work? That's the question I got from my daughter as I took my car keys. The fact is I was just getting something from the car but because she always see me going to work that's what she thought.
This society has created a system where parents spend as less time as possible from their kids. The question then is who is raising our kids?
At this stage they don't mind how they wear their shoes,
They come home from daycare and give you all the news,
At dinner time you provide food and let them choose,
When they have to go to sleep, they'll resist with every excuse.
Terrific Twos
They have more than 50 words to say,
They'll pull you out the door to play,
They want you in the park during the day,
They want to reaffirm they still have their way.
Terrific Twos
Little people with big hearts,
They like to try different arts,
They like to learn their body parts,
And analyse each and every chart.
Terrific Twos
They like to laugh and to sing with you,
When in the loo, they tell you what to do,
They like attention, especially when they have flu,
They like to always chew and to have big cuddles too.
Terrific Twos
This is a moment for creative release,
This is the time to share our inner peace,
To break new grounds with each and every creative piece,
Our Master, mastered each and every masterpiece.
Wonder
We are reawakening our hearts to wonder,
Art that strikes like lightning and thunder,
We are all called for the most important agenda,
To share the love, share the art and to let our minds surrender.
Wonder
This is the moment for our Creator's imagination,
This is the time for complete transformation,
To let our communities become one creative nation,
To share the art that will live from generation to generation.
Wonder
It's time to open our inner ears and inner eyes,
It's time to creatively represent Him who paid the biggest prize,
Who is strong and mighty and surely wise,
It's time for the architects of hope to scalp the earth and rise.
Wonder
The truth is you'll never know if you can do something or not if you never try. Fail hard. You don't have to fail but if you do, do it hard. That way you'll rise again with even greater strength. That is the only way you will win greatly.
Just Try
Writing inspiring books and songs for me has never been a job or a chore.
I've been blessed enough with other work like managing different companies etc.
I love to create as a hobby because I don't feel the pressure and I put no pressure on people supporting my work.
I know that to some artists this is not the case and I've seen the outcome. This is just my version of the story as an artist, it has nothing to do with anybody else.
I still pour out my whole heart when I'm creating new stories, poems and songs though.
I've professionally recorded lots of songs in the past.
Obviously I take my gifts seriously. I want the best studio equipment, the best book covers, the best printing companies and topics that will be relevant to most people.
Writing is my way of relaxing, I don't create under pressure and I think that's why people can hear my heart when they get their hands on my craft.
You supporting my work is a bonus and I highly appreciate it because it helps to cover all the art related overhead expenses.
But what I'm really after here is your heart, for you to be the best version of yourself and for you to have a greater life. 😊

Everything that I am, the credit goes to my dad,
The best dad this world ever had,
Now that I think about it, he was never really sad,
He was always smiling that's why I lived each day to make him glad.
I read my wife's blog this morning and I found a Father's Day love letter,
We stop the storms and break new ground together,
Nobody is perfect but for her, I live each day to become better,
I'm passionate about lots of things, but my family is the top on the list of things that really matter.
Even though life is not always easy,
Things get crazy and we get really busy,
We take time to say I love you, smell the rose and let it be breezy,
Always know, mother of my children, my better half, I love you deeply.
I think it's inevitable that a man shall love his family,
In both our beautiful kids, I can see my personality,
Taking care of you three is a privilege not a responsibility,
In this crazy world all I want our kids to always have is humanity.
After 9 years, after everything, my eyes are still filled with tears when I think of how much I love you,
You are the pillar of my strength, you inspire everything I do,
My better half, the mother of my children, I always have you to come home to,
Sometimes I feel like you love me more than I love myself and for that here is my eternal thank you.
This Father's Day
Why should I spend thousands of dollars on Facebook Ads and give it to American multibillionaires? Wouldn't that money be much better use supporting vulnerable people in Africa? I'm not a multi anything but I've made huge amounts of money anonymously in Africa. I didn't want to be on the newspapers, radios and TVs for it. I do it out of pure love. I know how it's like to have nothing. I work full time to support my family here in Australia and in South Africa. I do projects like writing books, recording albums ect. on the side to support those who are in need. The sad reality is that people these days would rather support nasty posts, music where people are swearing and music videos where girls are wearing next to nothing instead of clean, meaningful and life changing projects. Do with this post what you may but I'm not going to subscribe to the ills of this world. Go and like my Facebook page and support my projects, I've already told you why. It's free! It's for the good course and even if you don't, I'm still gonna rise like the wings of an eagle. https://m.facebook.com/PercysPoems/ ✌🏾
