Battles Of Life

When I look back to where I am coming from I realize that Life is an endless battle During the course of this journey I had travelled in fierce strom and blazing sunshine

I had walked barefooted on thorns and live-coal I had fought the lion with my bare-hands I had swam across many oceans I had climbed many mountains without rest It was as though, I would never get to my destination

I had been beaten and battered I had been trampled upon I had smiled in my tears I had searched for light in dark tunnel In this dark days and age Family and friends kept me encouraged Then, as if by a stroke of magic A dim light peirced through my tunnel And then, I began to wonder Could this be the light of heaven or of hell-fire Have I been saved or condemned Has my pain finally come to an end or it’s just beginning

Lo and behold, as I reached the end of the tunnel I found myself at heaven’s gate! Akogwu Egene, Esq. is a legal practitioner, writer and motivational speaker from Kogi State, Nigeria. He can be reached at akogwuegene@gmail.com
