Walk To Limelight Poem by Kolawole Emmanuel

Walk to Limelight

She said 'go you will be fine
Go son we will smile,
I have nothing to give you but prayers.'
Moma, that was enough!

I never knew it would be hard like this
Though I saw it coming.
The Figo you gave me went a long way
I would never forget that pathetic gesture,
Though sometimes I feel like letting off
But holding to your words,
Those gentle and motivational words
Moma, I am moving on.....

Listen, pedestrians going home,
Those tracing my path back'

Tell Moma,
That I have chosen a fruitful path

Tell my siblings they would smile
Tell my Papa it would be bright
And tell the world that I am coming
For this is my long walk to 'limelight!
