Always Centered on You


Your significance in every chapter of me goes beyond
the wonderful art of a creator or the expectations from a deity.
I feel your fatherly soft palms on my waiting back
like a child in need of a superior support.
Such favour you render is like a broad road
with multiple lanes without any pedestrian crossing.

From my existence as proteins to my current status
there’s no single room for me to boast.
I’ve tried to record the doings of my accord
then I realize, with high-heels, I’m just chasing a ghost.
My lips take extra jobs in supplications to you
but from your praises to your rewards, 
it’s an easy crossover of a thin coast.
My burdens are turned to appreciation through thanksgiving
then your hand of power reaches me faster than any post.

You essentially meet my needs in raw flesh
and still prepare them for my enjoyment through a sweet roast.
Despite my frequent unfaithfulness and disobedience
your grace and love on me are constantly making a toast.
How great is your compassion and how enduring your mercies;
your adoration and praises from now on, my soul will host.
