That Place
by tope Ogundare That place yonder Filled with wonder On which many often ponder Making the heart grow fonder Of that place many have talked About, filling our mind with pictures locked Up and setting our imaginations free To roam and with longing sighs on a plea There, we are told, lies a world Not around Sol furled There, neither day nor night exist Time and season cease to subsist There, the trees blossom always Lining either sides of the highways The fruits, never out of season, are appealing And their leaves brings healing There, all pain ceases And tears never a face creases Joy bubbles from hearts all around And smiles on every face abound There, the music never stops Melody fills the air like dew drops Distilling from hearts made cheerful For there is never a one not grateful There, the streets are paved with gold Precious stones splash with colours bold Sickness and death are memories far away For there immortality holds sway Of that place, my heart dwells on Sighing and longing from the light of dawn Hoping and praying for the time Ogundare Tope, a Psychiatrist in training at the Neuropsychiatric hospital, Abeokuta, Nigeria.
