Poem: In My Little Corner

By Samuel Sulaiman Bah

In my pathway are many mountains

Formed through the debt of my doings

The straight way or the path that sore my heart

I choose to live with it

Because a man's true form is by the battle he fights

Yea I shed tears yet I smile

All formed my well-being of who I am

Trust in a Mighty deity brings hope

Bound with grace, mercy and favour

For I am reaching forth in a fortress made with forms of rain

Little drops tends to build my patience in His domain

In my little corner are the premises of life attain

Always seeking for the truth

Wanting a life of bliss and harmony Makes one seek to grow in much trust and struggle

I dare not boast of it confines 

But be assured of great success that is of end to my gain

In my little corner

Saving my days in connection with prayers of delight

Escaping the thorns that seek to pull me away

In my defense I look unto His promises

In accordance to what He's already made possible 

Father lead me day by day

A thought of guilt and words of light

I seek to bed in all my delight

For I am not a stranger to the deeds of life

I only seek for the best and what is needed

So that my stay here is all but manifest

With shades of hope and assurance of breakthrough

I come steadily towards greatness

And fulfil my work for thee to see

and will forever trust in thee in my little corner
