Homesick Poem by Emmanuel Damilola Adeyemo

One thing I know for sure,
Like a truth that can't be wrong,
p*ss that there is a better home
That can't be compared with Rome.
From time immemorial, I've nursed it
Thousands of times I rejoiced at its thought.
But like a oyster shell at shore,
I cant stop to ponder
How long I still have to wait;
To live with you in our palace.
In the castle built with incorruptible hands
With so much peace to contain my delight.

Yet, here I sit in fears
With blurred focus and shaking hopes,
Mind feebled, courage dying.
Cos I'm still far from home
Can't but keep shouting;
Wont you give me strength
To make it through somehow!
Cos in Christ,
There aren't goodbyes
On Jesus, I wont lose my grip
Until I see you again.

Just making my confessions Lord,
I'm homesick.
