Viola Akhigbe Poems

When people talk of what to do
They say find your passion and stay with that
But for some others, their what to do
Is to find your purpose and go with that.
...

I've often found it quite baffling
People’s immense love for a sport
That’s nothing more than ball handling
And a thunderous crowd of rare support.
...

Education is what holds the reins
To make you a better you
Schooling is just one of the ways
To achieve that goal for you
...

Do not be deceived
Again I say, do not be deceived –
For every prize, there is a price
For every success, a sacrifice
...

Birthdays are special times in our lives
To celebrate the gift of God that is called life
Birthdays are special moments in our lives
To recount with joy the goodness of this life
...

Some old look back at the days gone by
And say to themselves, 'what good old days'
When currency in shilling could so much buy
And life was bliss in many ways.
...

Another year is gone
And yes, we say we won
Though been through the fire
We still stand tall and high
...

Success is no respecter of persons
Success considers no lame reasons
There are principles that guide its business
Principles to be applied with diligence.
...

Success is achievement of goals
Success is fulfilment of purpose –
No, it’s not how much you earn;
That simply is your income
...

If you understand life
There’ll be no mysteries to it
If you understand life
There'll be nothing you can’t defeat.
...

Take action today
To be all you can be
Take action today
Cos tomorrow may not be
...

I’ve found love so pure and sweet
I’ve found the one I longed to meet
To share my love so much complete
Love never to die nor retreat.
...

Celebrate love oh sons of men
Celebrate love daughters, with them
Fill the air with its presence
Exalt its office in life’s essence
...

I’m glad you joined me to celebrate
I’m glad you made my day so great
For creating bliss so good to enjoy
And causing my heart to well up with joy.
...

Most schools can’t help you discover you
Most schools will impose the wrong fit on you
Preparing you for one-size-fit-all examinations
And some out-of-sync-with-life certifications
...

If greatness is something that's on your mind
Here's something that you should bear in mind -
There is a price that must be paid
For the greatness that will be made
...

The Best Poem Of Viola Akhigbe

Passion, Purpose & Profession

When people talk of what to do
They say find your passion and stay with that
But for some others, their what to do
Is to find your purpose and go with that.
Now, with conflicting views on what to do
Many can’t seem to choose a profession
And the indecision on what to do
Result in long-standing confusion.

In my case, there’s the passion I love to do:
Weave deep words and make them flow
But there’s also the purpose I need to do:
Educate, inspire, and help many grow.
So I decided on what I’d do:
Find a way to explore both worlds
So now you see just what I do:
Help many grow by weaving words.

Have you discovered what you must do?
The path that’s meant just for you
You sure can work out what you should do
By letting my story inspire you.
And note that deciding is a must to do
As fast as time would let you
So begin in earnest on what you should do
For the earlier you start the better for you.
