I Have It All Poem by Ola Joseph Kolawole

I HAVE IT ALL

I have a friend…
Who sticks closer than a brother

I have a father…
As many as we – His offsprings are, He knows us all by name

I have a king…
His kingdom transcends the boundaries of this globe

I have a wife…
She has released herself freely to many men to see a part of her nakedness,
Yet, I can vouch for her sanctity and integrity…Selah…

I have a husband…
I can’t count how many of us are legally married to Him alone,
Yet, He loves not one person more than the other

I have a gift…
Of which words are inadequate to describe –
Priceless is an understatement!

I have a strength…
With which my snail can afford a cheetah’s speed,
As I approach the finishing line more and more

Above all these…

I have a WISH:

That I may see Him more clearly
Who covers Himself with the clothe of invisibility
As He transforms the world quite visibly

That I may love Him more dearly
Who has expressed His convincing love for me
Those many times we were alone together in “pleasant places”

That I may follow Him more nearly
Who is the way…
The only way that leads to LIFE! ! !

I have a dream… I will get there.
