MELVIN BANGGOLLAY Poems

Build your wings and follow your dreams
Like an eagle soaring high in the sky
With eyes so focused and heart's supreme
As he leaps from the ground with glee to fly

WHAT I AM IS GOD’S GIFT, WHAT I BECOME IS MY GIFT TO GOD


What I am is God’s gift, what I become is my gift to God tells us that our own body and the life that breath in our body is God’s precious gift to us but what this body can become and what sense or impact of our being as a person to others and to God is our gift to the Almighty. Our own body and life is our own gift from God on the day of our creation from womb till we joined this world to become what we want to mirror in this journey of life. God has given us all the provisions to live and all the faculties we need to grow as a person. He gave us a body strong enough to withstand trials of life like illness, sorrows and pains to keep us not so much fragile to anything that we can paint our own journey in this life. No doubt the life we breath is indeed God’s most precious gift to all of us. Precious than anything like glittering gold or diamonds. Our life is really beyond compare being the ultimate reasons God had created this world and the very reason why He gave his only begotten Son to secure and protect such gift to all of us. Truly, our own life is our gift from God but what we become as a person is our gift in return to God.

Can be agent to inspire anybody

Changes changed us into mediocrity.
