I thought I was free from the struggle I thought you've loosened the tangle Little did I know I am in a jungle The knots have become tighter How did I get here? Held tied and bound by your knots How do I break free? A choking hold you have on me A prisoner in my own home The walls of our love are now bars I long for your touch so tender But painful is your new tender You soothe me with your kiss Then bite me hard with the kiss With whom did I tie the nuptial knot?

Happy new year! Thanks for visiting. Please enjoy, learn and share. There is always so much excitement among Christians on the first Sunday of every month. Those Sundays are popularly called ‘Thanksgiving Sunday' or 'Thanksgiving Service’. I have wondered for a while though why it is termed Thanksgiving Sunday and separated as a special day to 'give thanks' or 'special thanks'.

Dear God, how's my mum doing? Let me guess, excellent! I miss her. I miss her so much the word 'miss' isn't even good enough to describe. She has created a void no one can fill.

Worst day ever! How did one year even pass so fast? It feels like yesterday. Dad was just telling you how beautiful you were when you passed on in his arms. The memories of that day are so fresh. I still can't believe you're gone. It has not been the same without you, mum, it can never be. I can't even type further. I thought I would do an epistle, not working right now. I love and miss you, iya mi owon. January 2, 2016 my whole life changed.
