Stand. Poem by Bamisaye Adeniran

Haven’t done all stand
Stand
Have put in all effort and no result to show
Stand.

When the encouragement is not forthcoming
Stand
You feel like giving up
Stand.

Out of strength and tired
Just stand
And always remember
You have to stand.

Hold firm and keep holding on
There’s always light after every tunnel
Hold on and behold the shining light.
For the crown set ahead please, stand.

And like goliath it boast
Like David, confront
Against all odds
Stand.
