Missed opportunities

We were all enjoying the weekend at home one day when some people showed up from UNLEVER said they got to know about my baby brother and would love to sign him up as the face for their products.
My brother was such a very very beautiful baby. Back in the days when everywhere and everyone lived a communal life, neighbours would come carry my baby brother and the only time they brought him back was for mum to breastfeed him whenever they perceived he was hungry. He was such a cutie and he never cried or bothered anyone.

Well, my parents said they'd get back to them and that's how a neighbour planter the seed to my parents that my brother was probably going to get kidnapped or some sort of crazy thing. Bottom line, my parents should never agree. Hmmmmm that's how my brother missed that life transforming opportunity.

I've heard of several instances of where parents prevented their children from lifetime opportunities because of ignorance, fear, anger, pride or some, in the name of some sort of funny discipline. Sometimes they take suggestions from people they don't even know are feeling jealous because they had such opportunity.

Well, let's believe this generation of parents know better and won't stand in the way of their kids enjoying opportunities that will profit their lives.

Did I just hear crrrrraaacccck? Dear Lord please please let this cup pass over me As I fell down the stair, bodily harm was the very least of my concerns  You know how much it cost me I deprived myself of alot of things I was hurrying to pick something outside The new Samsung phone I just got last week was in my back pocket When forces of darkness pushed me and I fell down a stair How else can one explain this if not enemies that are after my life? My mind was already calculating the cost of changing screen Hey God! You know I've been a good and kind person from childhood  Don't allow this evil happen to your child Your beloved obedient daughter A silent tear ran down my cheek as I slowly lifted myself off the floor  I was on my feet but It felt like I had spaghetti for legs My stomach was doing a million flip Gently, very gently I brought out the phone Heeeeyyyyyyyyyy it was the phone case that cracked My miracle working God showed up strong for me Headed straight
