To Gather Strength Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Problems,
To gather strength and to move on;
Facing the odds of life.

Life and birth,
Growing up;
Facing the ways of life,
Facing the problems around,
And to gather strength!
Able to move along.

Life!
To listen to the truth no matter what;
Moving along with positive morals,
Without hurting anyone.

Muse!
This wise woman builds her house with true love;
And, this wise man builds his house with righteous laws.

Your duty on earth,
My duty on earth,
Our duties on earth;
Let them be with righteous morals,
With servitude and attitude.

Uprightness! !
The way towards peace;
To gather strength and to face the works of the truth,
Without hatred and war.

Knowledge comes easily to him or her who understands;
Facing life with righteous characters,
No matter the odds.
