Life Passage Poem by Nnadozie Okoro

Life is full of lessons
Lesson not much designed
By professors of college
Yet each time we want through
Those lessons no matter how hard
It is through passage
We renew ourselves from every pain
From every depression comes wisdom
And with every down fall comes a new root to
Grow higher and higher
But what matters the most is having the courage
To move on not fearing what the past have said or will be saying
Those ancient thoughts we tend to hang on
And finding the courage beneath the dust
To dream anew
Anew beginning even when the heavens have not broken dawn
For life is full of lessons
That forms a masterpiece once the sunset of life arrives in glory
With endless stories to bring forth laughter, pride and tears
Especially those deemed to be hell through passage
Yet what matters is the ability to form a bound
With those lessons
To draw knowledge from it
Passing it to young generations to give forth witness
That lesson is life
For every success comes a lesson
Not just the failures
And those lessons are life
For life won’t be life with those lessons.
