For a while
I have watched lots of teens struggle
Yes! Struggling with identity
Imprisoned by the quest for answers.
Who am I?
Who should I become?
What are my strengths?
Do I have weaknesses?
Yes! What are they?
Daily pondering
How to harness their strengths
With constant fear….
“How do I make it in life?”
Stardom hovering in the mind’s eye
Yearning to be an on-screen icon
Like in Hollywood and Nollywood, and to be more
And oh, talented beyond measure.
Yet conscripted by others to be a surgeon, a lawyer, a banker
Placing limitations on the exploration of uniqueness.
Which lane to tread?
In excruciating pain on what to do…
Weeping. Confused. But multi-talented.
The teen probes, seeks answers
In agony, stuck in the belabored womb of destiny
Looking for divine help, seeking invisible designers of destiny
HELP!!!
Catch them young
Turn weakness to strength, to greatness
Help the young discover who they are
Harness natural endowments
Strengthen uniqueness
Help set their feet on solid ground to stand
To soar to heights unlimited
To occupy that great space created by their Maker
To reach the peak of dominion, fruitfulness, multiplication
See! Creation awaits their manifestation.
