Edward Ibeh Poet Blank verse

Notes About The Poem

I'll Walk Alongside You

To the mountaintop, the moon, and back
In times of peace and war, 
From daybreak to sundown 
Until the Mississippi River runs dry 
                               I'll walk alongside you 

Sunday, Monday, and always 
From pitch-darkness to a beacon of light 
Through pathways of life fraught 
With boomerang possibilities 
                              I'll walk alongside you 

Across the murkiest of waters 
Through obstacles and towering infernos 
Through life's joys and sorrows 
Through the razor's edge 
                            I'll walk alongside you 

When your legs grow weak with fatigue,  
When your body and spirit deplete 
Through the roughest of terrains 
Come what may 
                          I'll walk alongside you

( Verse)
