Certain Times

Rosemary Nkiru Francis 1982 (Enugu)

Certain time

The times we soar
The times we love
The times we agree
The times we bond
This times quickly fading

Listen to counsel
Holding unto hope
Refusing to bow
Accepting the odds
Gliding with the tides

This turbulent  times
Left in her wake
The times we grieve
The times we' re scared
This uncertain times

Our strength wasted
Our hope crushed
Our thoughts in shambles
We still hold unto light
Waiting for a certain time.

About this poem

About the past glory, the present realities and been hopeful even with the failing situations in my country Nigeria.
