Ibikunle Gabriel Poet Blank verse

Nostalgia

Nostalgia

The moment I was here
I got the handshakes of kings
I got the hugs of queens
The moment I was here
I received a tap on my back
From those ahead of me in intellectualism

The moment I was here
I got the doses of wisdom
Necessary to climb the ladder of success
The moment I was here
I was told the secrets of success
I was imbibed with the spirit of resilience

The moment I was here
I shared jokes with friends and colleagues
Laughing and smiling momentarily 
I rubbed minds with future leaders
Discussing the future of our domicile
