I love it when I discover hidden talents that our students have 😀 We already have a published poet in our midst, Emeka Onugha; and recently I came across another talented poet. The words of the poem below really touched my heart and I asked for permission to share them with you.
So much food for thought ...
Life’s Journey
Life is a journey, a winding road,
A place where joy and sorrow unfold.
A roller coaster of highs and lows,
With lessons learned as the journey flows.
Decisions made can heal or scar,
Some feel close, while others afar.
People you meet may bring you peace,
Or storms that never seem to cease.
We wear kind masks, our truths concealed,
Hiding the colors we rarely reveal.
Some bonds are fleeting, some will last,
While others are shadows of the past.
Each loss, each fall, is not the end,
But a chance to rise, to grow, to mend.
For even the darkest nights must fade,
And new dawns break where dreams are made.
In life, you'll find both friend and foe,
And from each one, a truth will grow.
The truest hearts are few and rare,
While false ones poison the very air.
Yet through it all, what matters most,
Is the strength you build, the dreams you host.
To give your best, to hold on tight,
Through every storm, through endless night.
Life teaches daily, until we're free,
Each moment shaping who we’ll be.
It’s a journey vast, until we part,
A sacred path for the human heart.
