Dream Your Thought



As tiny as it is, the ant possess only big thoughts. It could sleep and find food each time it feels hungry. At least a small particle of smoked salmon from the kitchen is big enough to satisfy the colony. However, the ant has big thought. It thinks big into the future such that it does not cease working. 
I love the lyrics of this song by Ryan Shupe very much:

When you cry be sure, dry your eyes
For better days will surely come
When you smile be sure, smile wide
Don’t let them know that they have won
When you walk, walk with pride
Don’t show the hurt inside
Because the pain will soon be gone
When you see, see the beauty
All around and in yourself
It will help you feel okay
When you pray, pray for strength to help you carry on
When troubles come your way
When you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
When you dream it might come true
When you dream, dream big

Sometimes we dream out of our thoughts. As literal as this may seem, if you think big, you will dream big.  It is god to think positive because you are what you think. In His book, Dr Ben Carson shows how we can think big.
T – Talents and Time must be recognized as gifts
H – Hope for good things and be Honest
I – Insight from people and good books is necessary
N – Niceness is good. Be nice to all people.
K – Knowledge, they say is power_ recognize it as key to living (the heart of the prudent getteth knowledge and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge (Prov. 18:15 KJV).
B – Books must be actively read.
I – In-depth learning skills must be developed.
G – God must be part of our lives.
Therefore, to completely bring out the ANT in you, it necessitates big thinking.
Every child has an aspiration but these aims change as one grows up. As a kid I had one but it has changed only a bit now. I know you had one too but I wish to share mine with you. This I wrote down even as I was growing. I noticed that in the cry of any baby were series of hopes and pain which he or she could not speak out.

 I call it KIDS’ CRY.

When I Grow Up
Now I don’t know what to think, but some day it will all be in ink.
I look without seeing, am I even a human being.
To me, everything exists without meaning.
My language is a cry, but I only calm myself with a smile.
Today I take milk, but tomorrow I will break bones.
Now am wrapped in silk, but soon I will wear clothes.
Hmm! They leave me in pampers, am now among toddlers.
Both the young and old handle me. Love and admiration are all I can see.
Sometimes how hurtful it can be, especially when bathed by the geriatric.
I have no option than to accept their plea. In fact a little smile does the trick.
I am now a boy but frankly, am coy.
I can’t even cook but I can eat yolk.
Where is all the tenderness, where is all the care?
How come all this harshness, why all these snare?
My ideas are not significant, as tiny as an ant.
All my vocals create fun, commonly ignored with laughter.
I hate this pan; maybe, I should sound louder.
But my cry is an unnoticed plea
When shall I be free, I wish I could flee.
Will I ever be like Dad, so big and tall?
He calls my mum ‘baby’ even though she isn’t small.
I wish to become a bank manger
To put my family’s poverty in danger
Even if I don’t, I will do something better.
I could be a poet or even a trader
May I become a pastor, and save sinners from hell.
I want to be a billionaire and marry a beautiful damsel.
When I will grow up, I really cannot tell

UnWILLING to Wail

To them all who fail to fall, The frail who don’t wail, Who smile to sad e-mails, Just because they’re males. I know a man who loves One that eats with gloves Starving just to feed his own Yes, everyone at home he owes. I know a strong man! Not for his muscles and biceps But for always saying “I can” Without knowing the precepts. Everyone looks up to him But when he looks up Even the lights onto him dim And doors begin to shut. I know this boy now old; Doing just as he was told “Men don’t cry so be bold” He swallowed his pains And bound all emotions chains. He must in sadness give out bliss? In darkness must he illuminate In drought he was the waterfall  When the rains came, he was last to drink. He sleeps at dawn and awakens same Goes insane to make his family sane He must be frugal and yet extravagant  In all, he dares not say I can’t.  No body cares he gets the courage. Yet if death defeats him in marriage, They awake early in the morning  Not for lack of sleep du...

YOUR own PEN

Something mostly divine, Sometimes, it's ours to define. Unlike the plant called Vine, Destiny seldom has pine. And it is our duty to prune and refine. From the feet till we see the spine. It may be a good omen, To which we shout Amen. It might have a fault to mend or dirt to filter, Which might make us think that God did falter. But we can write our own destiny. Yes, we always do. Remember that road you used to the mill, The particular person you talked to, Has it not been your own will? When you wanted to learn, Even when in prayer you did yearn, You took that training seriously, And you passed out successfully, That was your own destiny. That was your pen on paper. When you write, no one can alter. I am the secretary of the God you don't know. Now wait while I print yours out to show. Written down by you as white as snow.

DREAMSCAPE

An experience of a walking life; Or thoughts of the day in motion at night, Flowing peacefully in spirit like a kite. Awaiting an Estimated Time of Arrival, In your heart’s own built terminal. You woke up from the thunderous snore, Just to realize you were in a slumber. But you vividly remember; The realities you did encounter, And how beautiful it was that you saw. So you shared your story in the morning, While you were still yawning. Yes you shared; With people of like-mindedness. And boom! you are a hit; A one time wander, Now a lifetime wonder, With whom everyone wants to sit, But your dreams, don’t let them plunder. You are now a champion, So go ahead my companion. Go ahead with that plan; Store as many as you can, If it can’t be frozen, just get it canned.
