Dear Lord! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

DEAR LORD! ! !

Dear Lord! I salute You with a bow
After the rain emerges the rainbow

When light experiences an obstacle there is a shadow
If a dug is not deep they say shallow

If a land is left for a while it is fallow
Once permission is given you allow

The item out of many bringing the money is cash-cow
Effort before fulcrum to drive the load is a wheelbarrow

The bird that troubles plants is a crow
The effigy that sends it away is a scarecrow

What goes around comes around so never throw
What is meant to be shall be just flow

If the time permits to exhibit then show
Other times you need to lay back or burrow

You cannot finish everything you possess now
Wait! Leave the rest for tomorrow
