Just today. ..
Before anything else, i want wish every single gentleman a happy fathers' day...May you be or become great and admirable fathers in Jesus' Name, Amen.
Just today, I was looking through some old stuff I had neatly stacked away in the never-to-look-at part of my book collection and I chanced on a little notebook that had been my companion for as long as I can remember. Turning each page over, made tears sting the corners of my eyes....many forgotten memories..God has been faithful. Okay, here's the real deal. I don't want to bore you with all the details so I will drive straight to the point. I chanced upon a poem I wrote last year (was it last year? I know it was)..I was basically describing THE JOURNEY so far. Through school, I mean....It has always truly being about THE Journey..........
Those letters of the word 'easy'
Do not describe simplicity
For it has not been easy
Camouflaged nicely
By attractive pursuits
But it ceases to be easy
So far from being easy
The surprises make me dizzy
Tough has been the journey
Uneasy has been the challenge
Life has revovles around a stationary point
Monotony reveals its ugly head
Though manageable
I cannot call it easy
Because it cannot be 'easy'
Battles fought
Struggles within
Struggles without
When they enslaven you
And squash your fervour
Then you know your foes;
Fear and Failure
Their names similar
And very much alike
Like siamese twins conjoined
Conjoined at every single side of their bodies
Powerlessness tries stubbornly and leaves
Your dreams
Your hopes
Your ambitions
Shattered to a point of indisposition
Revert your answers to the fact that
It has not been easy
Because those letters of the word 'easy'
Do not describe simplicity
