DAMAGED

Parents as God originally made them were to serve as pillars of shield and protection to their young ones. Or am I just the only one with this view about parenting?

Yeah! We all have the need to be guided by those with whom God placed us with!

There she laid, lifeless

She is dead! The doctor finally broke the silence to the glaring public on a very cold Saturday morning.

Little gift fought with all her might to stay amongst the living. But her strength eluded her!

Alas! My enemies will now see reasons to laugh at me oh! Exclaimed Mrs. John
Really! Its alarming how she hastily apportioned the blames and abuses on the innocent devil😨

Little did we know!😢

Passersby: madam, Wetin bin happen? How e take start?

It was indeed a sour sight to behold as the doctor did all he could to remove the sperm from the innocent baby. Yeah! She died.

An innocent baby was damaged! Destroyed and killed by a careless act from her parents. How many parents can confidently entrust their phones, ATM cards, cars and others valuables in the care of a stranger?

Yeah! That question is not out of place as many kids can be seen in the sole care of strangers. Parents no longer care for the welbei of their children the way they do their material belongings. If they cannot do the reverse, why entrust a helpless child to strangers? This question dangles in my brain every second!

I need not remind us that one day, these material things we take so much importance in will one day rust, lose its values and worth. How would you feel if what you valued today is worthless tomorrow?

Why risk the piller of your future (your children) for irrelevant things?

Is the cost and pain of losing a loved one to material things worth it?

Pls, let's not DAMAGE our future for materialism!
