A Track For Everyone (This Is My Cross) Poem by Blessing Ekpe

Different path beckons on me
I look down at one

Green and grassy,

The other muddy and dusty

Am just an alone traveler

On a route to my destination


Then i took a path,

Far away i wander into the unknown

welcome by footprints,

The fallen heroes of the past.

Man footprint watered the way

but i took the one less trodden on

Knowing, immortally, i shall live on


As far as i sojourn

I took on the greenly path

Walking as a lone traveler

But never alone

The birds sang to me

The waves of the forest trees clap for me

Green leaves my bed and comfort

Each morning beckons for different ways

Knowing that different ways lead to a path


Gallantly i rode off

Knowing victory is mine

As i run the victory lap.

Telling the stories of ages past

Two roads diverging into the forest,

And i, i took my path

That's make a huge different

With open arms am welcome

As i enter into the mighty gate

A track for all, This is my cross.
