LOVE DON'T COST A THING
Vanity upon vanity clears the truth about eternity,
The just shall live by faith die with the Lord, bury in the dust
Where they were formed but not where they came from,
We were not clear, we were so dejected,
The tip of my curiosity forgave not my ancestors,
I was doubting if I underwent the normal childbearing,
I experienced the fury of been nurtured by those that don’t know the origin of my growth,
I have been fed by the word that came from the so-called Bible,
Brother David was bad on the bed, Brother Solomon was a story on its own,
We started with the book of my bible story before the Bible became a storybook,
I found love in different phases, in phrases and the ones well cooked,
I pondered over matters, soliloquizing on what love really meant,
If the Bible told me to do everything in Love, what made me an orphan?
Did my parent really do it in love leaving me inside the bush? That was the story that was told of how I was found,
I glitter in sorrow, wishing I could know why I exist,
Our old nanny told us the story of how the sun respected the moon at night,
We were oozing with happiness even with a sound mind.
Four letter words that perform extraordinarily,
A prerequisite for saying please, will you marry me,
Boundless resuscitation of a hopeless soul, that affects the blood flow from head to toe,
The most respected letter chain just like the acknowledgment of a pregnant woman on a long queue,
Priceless but free, colourless but blinks,
The fragrance that drives out fear, a living monument that conquers depression,
Love is sacrificial, a game for everyone with an individual throne,
An essential consensus neglecting every versus,
The only map that guides you through the road to Damascus,
He gave His only begotten son to the world he loves to the core,
He rains to the good, the bad and the dead,
He collected the key from death and victory from Hades,
What then shall we say than to look up to the rock of ages,
Follow His daily pages to avoiding the sin’s wages,
He said it is finished for different races, making His blood the greatest atonement,
When you love God with everything you will be committed to loving yourself, that is all,
With that, Love don’t really cost a thing.
