Joseph Jeremiah Naye Poet Ballad

Sacred Grounds

I stand on the grounds once treaded by my 
 ancestors.
I represent countless generations gone
 before me.
The soils are bathed with generations of 
 sweat and blood.
My fore father's once once stood on these
 hallowed grounds.
Now their spirits urges us on to carry on the
 torch.
To blaze the torch for the next generation
 that is to come.
