Life is a gift

Today
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't
speak.
Before
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone
who has nothing to eat.
Before
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who died
too early on this earth.
Before
you complain about your children - Think of someone who
desires children but they're barren.
Before
you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or
sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before
whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.
And when
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
job.
But
before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.
And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your face and think: you're alive and still
around.

I AM STILL HERE

I am me, I am him
He who started that time
He who said the Words
The words that changed you
Ndim ndiselapha ke ngoko

I am me, I am the man
The man who told you in time
In time to change your destiny
When I told you I Love You
Ndim ndisakuthanda ke nangoku

It is me who changed your plans
They didn't include me
For you didn't know me
And I made you mine for us
Ndim lo ndisenenjongo ke kaloku

It is me that you changed
For my destiny was empty
Without you i wasn't happy
Then you came, now i'm happy
Ndim kanye lo uphuhlisiweyo ngoku

It is you, the you that i love
For you showed me how to love
When empty, you filled me with love
Gave me a son to love
Ndim lo umnike ubomi nosapho
