A LASTING CHEERY by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Before a step, give a clear measure

Let unseen be seen without pressure

Enjoy meditation, give life no fissure,

Be thyself, watch where soul seeks pleasure

Examine everything heart often cries to treasure

Especially when boldly sitting for a leisure.

For life's  betterment

Forget any negative sentiment

For soul's  divinely nourishment

Mind what heart yearns to offer a commitment

And never be moved to involve in every tournament

Just for the sake of an ephemeral enjoyment.

Permit life to be but a shining story

For not all may give God glory

 Follow Him, do not worry

Thy ordeals, He knows how to carry

Then,  live and jubilate but be wary

For God alone may grant heart a lasting cheery.
