Life of Purpose

Chidie 1984 (Abeokuta)

As the wandering butterfly,
So the aimless man lives fly.
As the duteous ant builds high,
So the diligent soars high.

    As the June bug has the sense to live
    The industrious squirrel hides a nut.
    To survive is paramount to both,
    So what is your life, here today and gone tomorrow !

    Poets play with words to twinkle your inwards
    But to ,believe in God gives your soul safe keeping !

    Chidie, keep searching, Jesus is near !
