I'LL WALK
I'LL WALK The road has been rough and tortuous Checkered with Daunting tasks and worrying realities A smile here, a pat there On and on I plodded I know this walk will one day be applauded Sneering, jeering and a smirk Was all I could get from my admirers 'Keep the face straight' I told myself Even they have got a heart heavier than mine For help you could turn nowhere As every man has got his own load to carry A problem shared is half solved they say Now it looks like a problem shared is worry doubled Looking ahead is what I always do Hoping this maxim will hold true: The best days are yet to come So in all these I've told myself The road to go may be arduous and tortuous If I have to, I'll drudge it But there is no way I'm ever going to give up Oluwaseyi Ige January 19, 2014
