The Harvest Poem by Gbolabo Adetunji

The hurdles are full of hitches

A test of character each season

The rules are froth with twists

With tenacity questioned all the way

A journey loaded with stumbles

That brace the resolve to continue

The passage is full of barriers

With options to scramble or fumble

The skeptics abound in numbers

As though self-doubt does not suffice

But to those with vision

The goal is real

The pain may be palpable but

There lies a guide in persistence

And with endurance comes

The harvest
