Two Sides To a Coin

Heads... The days of yore Were characterised with: Pizza and pop sodas It was enjoyment galore All the way through It was good mood and sweet music Wining and dining Hosting and feasting Pictures and picnics Clothes and confetti It was scarlet roses and scarves Blue champagne and blue skies Bubbles and bottles It was luxury and laughter Versace shoes and Armani bags Diners and dinners. ...tails Sour faces with broken countenances It was hungered and starved Sudden and painful Pawpaws and bananas Lux and Vaseline Coca-cola and black skies Phone calls and job hunting Yaba clothes and Oshodi bags Favoured and favours Above all these... Fasting and prayers I pray the LORD turns things round!

You may be confused, sometimes the tails side is filled with the most meaninful experiences. Pray the Lord provides you his very best and expect it to be much different than your imaginings. I like this type of poem it provides pause for thought.
