Poetry
THE FORTRESS…By Felix Obi
We shall all face trying moments in life
The wave may thrust us into mid air
Despairing moments may linger around
And our hopes choked and sniffled out
Our compartmentalized lives may be sieged
Dark clouds may shield the rays
That illumine our hearts in troubled times
Leaving us in utter bewilderment
When briers and thistles tear the flesh,
To whom do I run to for succour?
When hoary hairs abound and my strength fails
Who then can cuddle and prop me up?
When death looms and decay apparent,
When friends desert em and lovers scram,
When it seems life is no longer bearable,
When it seems like all hope is gone,
Where then shall I draw my strength?
Yeah, with a lithe face will I rejoice in God!
He alone is my Rock, and my Salvation
He’s my Fortress, and I will never be shaken
For He will bear me safe thro’ the storms of life
And upon His wings will I coast home
To the warmth and comfort of His presence
And in God alone will my soul find rest!!
( an adaptation of Psalm 62)
