Notes About The Poem

This or That, Vol 20 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh | 09/08/2023

Follow Me

The night is young,
the night is wild,
don't follow me.

You will find grey surprises,
you will be lost in the shade,
with no light to find a way.

The day is bright,
the day means light,
just follow me,
keep on my side.

Don' t be lost with a candle,
just follow me up there,
I will light the biggest torch
for you to walk safe.
