Encounter Poem by Alex Adeoye

Encounter keeps me a Christian
If not, the way my men of God
Character's reads Bible upside-down
Would have sent me parking.

Encounter keeps me a man
If not, the disappointment
Of my blood brothers
Would have made me lose hope, to cry

Encounter keeps me waiting
If not,11 years, one promotion
Would have made me resign
A job I love like a new bride.

Lord, keep a new date
With me for an encounter
That will rain joy into my ban
To full to the brim.
