Childhood's Dream Ii

Nevertheless, I resolved to be a preacher
Waiting as a worker in His vineyard 
As a Sunday school teacher for His call
To avoid eternal condemnation 
And not been helpless fighting spiritually

Here I am as a teacher 
Acting greatly like Bayard
Who is not afraid of the timing thrall
To bewitch code of conduct adulteration 
For fairness and quality mutually

We are all different in thought 
May be not specific in pursuit 
Going will surely be tough
Lasting shall dictate our stand
Not all will stand to the end

Many are dreams we had blindly fought
One deals with it like a brute
Some will handle it very rough 
Few gets to deeply understand 
The motive behind inability to suspend

Chasing a dream like no tomorrow 
Feasting for lent in prayer 
To make out for the best per chance
Oiled by grace will
In its just and totality

Electrical engineering work is a course I borrow
Though, Nigeria has got me to pair
With teaching work to enhance 
Living and paying some bills
A case study of most Nigerians duality

R. I. P to all the dreams that freeze up 
Like a winter snow and get dissolved 
Get well soon all dreams that dry up
Like a raisin in the sun to get resolved


Amen!
