Adeleke Adeite Poet Verse

My Sunny Day

I was lost in a land far away
And I watched my feathered flower fade away
Oh! I was lost and could not find a way
 My heart was blurred as I walked on the weary way.

Under the trees I sat to take shelter all day
The falcons fly my heart into wisdom’s way;
their lyrics and rhymes becomes my hope and stay
Whenever they sit on the weakened branches to play.

Oh how did I get this painful pay?
When all my labor should have earned me gold and not clay
Oh how did I lost my body to this sick bay?
When I was born to be agile and not fragile even in the weary way.

I wondered if I can ever see my sunny day:
I lost my pen I could have written my guilt in grey
I lost my heart I could have remembered to pray,
Oh! I lost my ears I could have heard w\hat God had to say.
