Hannington Mumo Poems

I hope to be great some day
And I should hope that God's way that chose
Shall as well my zeal sustain;
And though powers of dark do starkly oppose,
...

And this is the origin of victory:
A man once went to sow his mustard seed;
The path to his garden was impassable muddy
And the weather was discouraging awry,
...

May the beneficent and infinitely omnipotent
Name of Jesus Christ the Son of God
Eternally impute blessings lofty and abundant
Upon the blessed memory and legacy so bold,
...

Listen to what your mum has to say,
To your father's words attention pay;
Don't fret when they correct,
For in future you shall rejoice
...

I'm at Aggrey's this night,
The journey is tough and the times aren't right;
I'm one traveler so worn
Awaiting the blessed morn.
...

Tom was five and he did great rhyme,
After school he got his pencil sharp
And before had passed a lot of time
His music of words surpassed any harp.
...

The cynics watched to see me stop.
And to them all: nope!
...

I know none else but the one who on the cross died,
The David's son to whom the blind man cried
And was given back his stolen sight;
That so well I know beyond any dubious amend,
...

Progress shall be my work and rest
Doing what only gods can do best,
Inking choice lines of preciosity
And ever spicing their superior quality,
...

HEAVEN’S FRIEND
In your deeds and in your words,
Whether talking about humans or the adventures of birds;
Discussing politics or the hefty science of trees,
...
