Dark Days Gone Poem by EZEKIEL HARUNA DANBAKI

Gone forever are the days of the dark
When i longed for a shine of light
A twinkle will do or even a spark
Just for once let my life be bright

Lonely sat me in a dim coner
Rested my back on the tattered wall
Wishing someone could claim to be my owner
And look through the darkness to see my lack

These Wishes were only but a nightmare
Darkness around hunts me everyday
Bringing with it despair so near
Deeper I searched but could not find the way

Just as I'm no one seem to care
Or to my ears whisper words of hope
If for a moment I got a word of cheer
Then to my feet i shall rise and hop

I wished as my hope drew close
In holly strides to give me freedom
In my darkness I felt forever lost
Lost in the realm of cruel kingdom

I am a lost sheep from a hundred herd
I realised my wandering far from the pen
But Jesus the loving-caring shepherd
Came after me and washed away my pain

Gone forever are the days of the dark
When i longed for a shine of light
Now not a twinkle not even a spark
This life as mine is full of light
