THE GIRL NEXT DOOR


THE GIRL NEXT DOOR***

The girl next door is not my sister.
She isn't even my friend.,
But a girl I admire.
She smiles bright like the stars.
She doesn't braid her hair, always letting it fly.
Her beauty is not found under the complexion of her skin
Or her  blackish lips,
But inside the holes  between her nose line.
Her definition of love is found in the heart of men who stood still in the battle front in far  beyond,
And  also  the love of YESHUA, the one who made her In his image.

The girl next door
 loves music,
The only thing that made her say Hello! When she hears R&B beats blasting from my speaker.
She said darkness is a threat to her.
Night hours reminds her of the day her mother passed on.
She said day break awakes her functional ability to give life a second chance.

She doesn't believe in second chances.
Her ex had came by the other day to plead she returns to his heart
The heart he locked when she needed him.
Yet She said " I don't feed on my vomits".

The girl next door 
Is a descendant of slavery.
On her wrist, you would find scars of shackles lines making it look like  bangles,
And her feet hurts from countless race away from life's hunters.
She said she breaks a lot of bottles at night.
When men slept, she's awake calculating and strategizing  her next step ,so she wouldn't have to  break more bottles.

The girl next door
Is not  suicidal
Or a murderer,
But surely she will cut off any hand that tries to draw her back.
The girl next door could be you.

LIFE

Dear reader, I'm sure you're wondering why I'm writing to you on such short notice. I'm a person who believes time is running out. We live in a world filled with endless problems, yet we manage to navigate through with masks of fake smiles. I write to those like myself.  You may not have endured the same trials as I have, and your story may be different in its own way.  But know that comparing our problems won't diminish mine or justify yours.  It's curious how we find hope in the tales of others. So, I hope you'll learn to let go and trust in God.  I hope you'll forgive yourself and others who may have caused you pain and resentment.  I hope you'll learn to live in the present and aspire to a brighter future.  I hope you'll discern truth from deception when others attempt to mislead you.  I hope you'll realize that true love begins with self-love before extending to others.  I hope you'll embrace inner peace amidst life's

SAVED BY GRACE

It's been more than a year I post here. And I'm glad to be back. Journey with me has I drop Inspiring piece for you to feed on DAILY. Today's piece is titled " saved by Grace" and Its a reminder of how much Christ suffered to give us a new life.  No matter how far you've from God, you can always find a new life in Christ. You don't have to continue in sin. Christ paid it for us all to live freely under his GRACE. If you purchase my thoughts,  they won't taste like chocolate.  Discerning between my past and present is a future tense that instills hope within me. How gracious to be born into what appears as a mirage, yet somehow,  we've navigated through the narrow path.  What if he hadn't taken the risk?  What if he hadn't paid the price? A slave we would all become, But how sweet it is to hear about the man who bore my limitations upon his shoulders, settled the debt I owed, and still claims me as his own.  Every day, I stumble into sin, li

I'm Ruth, and I'm excited to have you here with me.This is my blogspot and over a year now I've been posting poems and short stories here.  In this season, I want to add something new on the table which I termed "Morning coffee".
