FOR NGOZI (NGEE)

In the light of creation

It sought not a name

For situations of the same

It could not compete for fame

 

Many saw this as pride

And took it for a ride

So, it decided to step aside

but it was impossible for it to hide

 

Situations did unfold

And attained heights untold

Then conditions presented a mould^*

Yet it shone more than gold

 

Questions were asked

And answers were waxed^*

But the reason could not be cracked

So, none could take it for a quack*

 

In all, this was known

The glory was not its own

And the honour had it not sown

But its image had been blown

 

It was a design of the heavenly realm

That in the face of this worldly system

It should always remain firm

And forever be known as a gem

 

…You may not look it

But you are that Gem!

 

1Pet 2:9 “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. (AMP)
