When The Journey of Life Gets Tough (Ofuonyebi's Sonnet-5)
When The Journey of Life Gets Tough (Ofuonyebi's Sonnet-5)
-When the journey of life gets tough
-Let the will to drive..the will of God previal
-When the way to the destiny becomes so rough
-Don't get yourself down to wander with derail
-But arise and eat the spirtual food of deep plough
-When the journey of life is so raw like a nail
-And easiest routes of relief closes like a drought
-And hopes of a better day looks sad to be curtailed
-With helping hands running from your plough
-As if you were the only soul that suffers a quail
-Open the window of hope hidden behind the rail
-With God, all things are possible and handy like a dough
-Move foward don't bother at the funny rhythms like a metre
-Because every level of life's journey experiences is a kilometre.
