A New Dawn Poem by Clinton Ekeh

Often a time in life
We seem to be stuck in a rut
Overridden by fiery situations
Confronted by seemingly insurmountable goliaths
When we can't breath
Neither can we speak
For we are so weak
From the battles of life
Which we everyday fight
At such times victory might seem surreal
Cos we ‘ve lost hope in hoping
Yea indeed such times are dreadful
And it takes courage to see a breakthrough
Inspite of the failures we've been through
But, hush!
look, the vapours are gathering
the cloud is cracking
the wind is whispering
that your latter rain is about pouring
just hang on even if it seems you can't
cos when you are the hardest hit
that's right when you shouldn't quit
you have hung on till this very moment
indeed you are a die hard warrior
who never throws in the towel
lo, there's always light at the end of the tunnel
so keep on moving, you'll soon get there
never you believe your doubts
and never you doubt your beliefs
cos your dawn is about to break forth
all you need do is to keep trusting in God
for indeed, victory is yours
even now and forevermore
