I AM A WINNER

Posted by BELLA MBUTHO on Monday, March 26, 2012, In : ERS Poetry 

I AM  A WINNER

I have got a story to tell

A story to share

 

I am perceived to be a loser

When I am actually a winner

I’m a go-getter

That’s what winners are, go getters

 

I spread my wings wide

I leave no stones unturned

I am an explorer, exploring life to the fullest

That’s what winners are explorers

 

I face challenges head-on

I am an overcomer

That’s what winners are overcomers

 

I walk the walk

Talk the talk

I walk tall

With my head held high

Because that’...

I AM A WOMAN

Posted by Bella Mbutho on Monday, March 26, 2012, In : ERS Poetry 

I AM A WOMAN

I am a woman

My beauty is not defined by my braided hair and earrings

Instead my beauty runs deeper than that

 I am defined by my inner-self

The unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit

Soft but yet so strong

Intense and very powerful

I am a woman

 

Watch me bringing about life into this world

Watch me protecting and comforting with these hands of mine

Watch me easing the pain with my tender smile

I am a woman


You strike a woman you strike a rock

I’m considered as the one who holds the kn...

He is worthy of our praise

Posted by Bella Mbutho on Thursday, March 1, 2012,

HE IS WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE

 

With faith we believe

With hope we live

 

With thanksgiving and supplications

We give thanks unto him

Who has the supremacy over all creation

Everything being created by him and for him

The first born of all creation.

 

With his power we trample over snakes

With his grace we are saved

In his likeness we were created

 

With his love we are made complete

In his presence we rejoice

With his blood we were bought

With his wounds we are healed

 

With...

Opportunities

Posted by Boitumelo Koribe (Grade 9) on Thursday, March 1, 2012, In : ERS Poetry 

 

OPPORTUNITIES

 

Opportunity is a chance or time to do something.

Do we ever wonder why life gives us opportunities?

Yes….because we are given a chance to prove ourselves in what we are good at.

 

Not everyone get that chance,

Why not make the most of it?

 

It is not in our everyday life that we get opportunities,

So what do we do when we get them…..?

We grab them and make a success of ourselves.

We delight in our prosperity and achievement!

 

Opportunities are like sunris...

Paradise

Posted by Mabebe Mogorosi (Grade 11) on Thursday, March 1, 2012, In : ERS Poetry 

Paradise

Is this world a paradise? I wonder to myself every time I see people happy. So much sorrow and pain in this world and we call it paradise? So much war; we lose someone special every day, and still we call this world paradise? Women and children are abused and we don’t even care because we think that this world is paradise.

What is paradise? Is heaven paradise? What does it feel like to be in paradise? Is it a warm, happy and fuzzy feeling? We all want to go to a place called para...

Get Educated... ... ...

Posted by Anelisa Mkhapha (Grade 9) on Thursday, March 1, 2012, In : ERS Poetry 

GET EDUCATED……..

 

In life it is good to plan and implement things.

Early education is an investment of a lifetime.

No one will ever take away your education.

Working hard, sleeping late and focusing on your studies will reward you with good things. Education is a treasure that does not rot. It is up to you as an individual to decide what you intend to do with your future. Quitting school will never bring good fruit in your life. It is good to hang with people who have light and goal...

Believe in yourself

Posted by Gaopalelwe "Pali" Matlabe on Thursday, March 1, 2012, In : ERS Poetry 

Believe in yourself


Life may not always be pleasant,

Some days will be harder than the others,

Some people will always try to belittle your worth.

Some things may break you but beyond

all the unpleasantness of life there is hope for all.

 

Sometimes you might wake up and feel

As if the world is on your shoulders, it might

seem too  heavy to carry, but tomorrow still

awaits with its blessings.

 

In life you may lose the people you hold

close to your heart, and at times it
