Walking in Muddy Waters

By Yero Jallow

It was many years ago while I was young

I saw people walking in muddy waters

Crossing shallow rivers and tributaries to other banks

Despite the troubles and uneasy crossingThey still managed to make it to the other banks

 As I reflect back
over their successful journeys

I wondered how they made it to the finish line together

I realized it was their courage, commitment and focus

The determination to do it wholeheartedly 

The urgency over their mishap requiring tact and resultant
force

And the respect, love and ideals they shared sincerely

It superseded their individual interests throughout the
journey

So they held onto each others’ hands with all the love

Saying, “Hang onto my hand brother! We are together in this
journey”

That was how they made it to the finish line smiley and
unhurt.
