The fact that a thing goes the way it goes Doesn’t mean it was meant to go that way But in the end, however way it goes, If you follow goodness, it will go your way. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
Of challenges
WRONG IS SOMETIMES RIGHT
The right one will come When your education is done. Until then every wrong one Is the right one so you can become The right one When your transformation Is done. Wrong is sometimes right Because it’s what you need right now Some people’s day is the night That’s when they can work and plough Blindness strengthens inner sight You intuit your way through things somehow And a bark is just as useful as a bite. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
MOVE!
Move! You have to move! Always you have to move move move! Change change change! Move And move again and again Keep moving keep changing your lane Joy and pain sunshine and rain playing and praying And always adjusting and recalibrating And moving and moving and moving And constantly growing and improving. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
OPPORTUNITY
Good Morning Opportunity, In what ever form or person you cross my path today May I have the strength and clarity To recognise, appreciate, take, keep and use you, I pray. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
DOING IS HARDER
Most of us are weak Strong only in theory - To reach the mountain-peak Is easy in a paper story - Never underestimate One week It’s still Seven Days of weary Struggle through prospects bleak To attain the crown of glory. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
HELP RHYME
Help comes in its own time And in its own way Often it prefers an irregular rhyme Your tomorrow is its today You hear the echo and miss the chime How loudly did you pray? Treasure the sour bitterness of lime It is sweetness in delay. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
LAW OF THE L
Take your L Take it well No one can tell Why you fell Did your pride swell? It rings a bell It broke your shell Take it well I wish you well Time will tell And heal you well Heaven and Hell Understanding your L Will break the spell And make you well. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
*L stands for Loss.
