In Igbo:

God bless me

God blessed me

Blessings

I jokingly tell my friends

“It’s not easy being me.

I wouldn’t

Wish it

On my worst enemy.”

But I truly do mean it

At times

I can’t fathom the reality

That I am still existing in this reality

That I still have breath in my lungs

That I still am able to

Walk

Function

Live

Be free

In this prison called

Life

Blessings

Too many to count

Too many to record

As numerous as the hairs on my head are

So is God’s grace over me

Continually

Chinedu

“The Lord Guides”

I know I’m not living right

I see the map He has laid out for

Me

Yet I created my own

Up a rocky path

Full of turmoil

Yet He continues to guide me

Back

Back to His intended

Promise

Blessings

I constantly say

“I shouldn’t be here still”

At times

I had the thought

Other times I had the motive

Even the opportunity

The reminder of His

Blessings

Has kept me here

I am a living and breathing testimony

Of the close calls

When I had no one to call out to

Except the One

Who hears all

Who knows all

Who sees all

The One who was there for my ups

For my downs

Gains

And losses

I say “God Bless Me”

I am already blessed

God Bless Me

Is continual

Perpetual

He who hears my plea

Continues to bless when I no longer

Deserve it

I'm not where I wanna be

But I thank God

I’m not where I used to be

Feelin' like the devil had a hold on

Me

You may not know what I’ve been through

But let my life be

The voice of reason

For your situation

If He did it for me

How much more will He

Do for you?
