That Great Year!!! By Akindele Jomiloju

THAT' GREAT YEAR!!!
The mighty Trees fell
Wind blew incessantly
Storm went crazy
The Moon looses its elegance
The stars lost it sparkle
Yet I survived
My compass lost its direction
The sailors lost the ship to the waves
The Toad refuses to croak but crackles
Yet,I survived
I buzzed,
I mumbled,
I babbled
And blabbed
That I had no shoe
Then I saw a toddler without a leg
With smiles on her beautiful face
She shook her head and said,
"I survived"
Then I realised how blessed I am
Of ingrates,I am chief
Because HE lives,
I'll survive

Then I stood again and looked @ myself and thought of my friends, checked out other and the whole human race, we have
