By Sunday Afolayan
Life is like a rolling wheel
Tossing man here and there
Up the hill-top s'times it may
Down the valley some other time
Life journey's like a zig-zag
It proceeds by turns and bends
The end, to no one, surely uncertain
Every man's route is a mixture
Of straight and curvy pathways
When today your road is smooth
Never think it's so to the end
When tomorrow is rough and tough
And the road is full of slippery hills
Never think the end has come
The honeycomb you savour today
To bile may turn before the morrow
The bitter lessons that shatter your hope
Your springboard to the top may become
Life's an admixture of joy and sorrow
Everyone has a dose of good and bad.
