Give Thanks Poem by Kolawole Emmanuel

Happiness is like dewdrops
They vanish at the strike of sunlight.

Somewhere in the dark corner of my room
I often stoop
Pale as the haggard features of despair,
Broken into pieces
And heavily hearted like a defunct nightmare!
Gradually
melting
like
a
candle
stick.

Life is hard
Especially in this part of the world.
I can't help it but to rattle,
That God wrote some destinies with a golden pen
But wrote mine with a pencil
That breaks, now and then.

But whenever my world is dark as now
I often remember Mama's words

She said
'In everything give thanks
