The Man I Have Become Poem by samson ogbeewi

Took a walk down memory lane and back
And in the clandestinity of my heart, I reckon...
(Knowing I'm not the kind of person to make a brag)
It is truly amazing the man I have become...

like water, when placed in heat boils,
Granting molecules the power to fly as it roils,
Gaining invincibility as it turns into vapour
Retaining purity and its unique savour...

And like Sunflowers, following the sun
Surviving the heat, enjoying the fun
Blossoming, and finding strength
Even In a tough weather yet never faint...

And like the eagle who waits for raging storms,
Dears to dive in as the boisterous wind comes,
Gains altitude by confronting the challenge
And for his victory claims the sky in exchange...

That is the man I have become


I am what God, by love, has made
I'm a man whom his power has aid
I'm the future of my generation
I have survived by his redemption

I will thresh the mountains before me
And I'll sing his praise on that hill
Where His death has made me bold
And His Love is now unfold

I'll walk through the fire and not be burnt,
Through Adder's den and not get hurt
I can go through trials and yet return...

Because of the man I have become
