Universal Hope Tree

-



 Dear Universe,

Yesterday -I was but a toddler. Today I am a young adult. Not so long from now, I will be old and grey. 

All this happens in a blink of an eye, the mystery of time is baffling . I have celebrated a few birthdays in the last quarter century as I do today. I have seen a lot of enthusiasm for my little dreams, am humbled.

Shared Joy is Double Joy, Shared sorrow is Half sorrow- This Swedish proverb is true for me through your generosity in all seasons. I may never repay you directly but I will be the tree you planted to provide hope to to the future. Thank you for entrusting me.

Universal Hope Partner- Tonny.

Happy Mama's Day

Every mother has/had a mother figure from whom they learnt the generosity of the ❤️-a capability propagated by heaven in a special way for an immeasurable purpose. Life begins and ends with the mother's actions in regard to the child - thinking & hoping for the new life. Time tells its tales and the care(genuine concern; Isaiah 49.15) through the years has a dividend of a compassionate citizen willing to pay the mother's ❣️ forward in un calibrated ways. As the ripples of ❤️ continue to travel through society a new mother is born -sometimes out of circumstance and other times out of choice - bringing the world to even greater love. ❤️ will change the world - Mothers will always be ❤️ HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

  Ha ppy Mother's Day. Mama calls me every often to say -lekera okwewamba (In our home; loosely translated to mean keep in touch dear child).  Oh, the weight of Mama's touch - had she been a politician she'd be the greatest on the canvas of history,  had she been a movie, she'd be an all-time best seller,  had she been your friend, she'd be a  crème de la crème. Well, your craft is safe as she's none of those things, but she is my mother- a top-notch disciplinarian and life's most noble gift. Before I knew my name, she saw the best in me.  For every first, she knew there would be a second.  From fractures to failures, she's been my antidote. In every worthwhile book, she seems to have a page. In a fast-paced world, she's the only actual conservative. With a big heart that daily crossed the ocean that friengers (friends that became strangers) will become family. With a third of life gone by, I look around for strength  to carry on   in a world that

HAPPY  INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY My Heart is void of many things,    This Life is void of many things, The Friends are void of many things, Skills are void of many things, Character is void of many things, Nation is void of many things,   Happiness is void of many things. "The void                     is extinguished when                                women are on the wheel." Mama, you continue to go above and beyond to raise me in a heartful manner , with a steady paced life, with global friends that have moonshot skills and enduring character in a sojourning nation unto eternal happiness.  In a world of inconsistency, you have been a consistent role model to me every step of the way. I celebrate you today and always for you have mothered my best of memories. Love ,Ibanda {The African Seasoned Kid}
