Who ever said they’d take you back?
Who ever said you were that-missed?
Who taught you that you would be happy
Who ever said life’s meant to be lucky?
Suitcase and passports are not keys
To open doors quietly closed
by absence, distance, achievement and silence.
They are just things inevitable
for movement life demands with reasons.
Your role is just to carry them smartly
Then to Release them once you cross security
People will flinch as if you hit
Because the you is not the same
Your welcome is more like goodbye
Your stay is not like you belong
Nationality or not, you are a stranger
Cuz you went on and stayed a – longer
Now you are just a plain ole stranger
In your own land, you’re just no longer.

Personally, I strive to be like an eagle soaring above the smallness of the life I once knew. I believe that hard work and determination always produces greatness. Lately, I seek to live by Colossians 1:16, since truthfully this life is not about me at all, but the purpose for which God Himself created me. "Everything starts in Him and finds itself in Him"
As a Youth Development Professional for more than 20 years, my expertise in the field has allowed me to impact many a life throughout that time. This impact goes beyond the young; since, over time various duties of my job demanded that I worked with adults, working professionals in Leadership Development, Conflict Management, Team Dynamics and the likes.
Music is very much part of my journey, so I have also been a Praise and Worship Minister, and a Youth Choir Director for more than eight years, a traditional drummer of the (Tabou Bele), and have written a number of gospel songs over the years. During my tenure as Youth Choir Director, we produced a Gospel Musical Album, which I think in today's standards could have been much better. Who knows, maybe better will come by soon enough. My desire is to build self first, and then others, for I believe no one can give that which he or she lacks.
My love for the sociological aspect of life has earned me a BA in Sociology with a minor concentration in Psychology at the Midwestern State University Texas.
