Ogolla Enock Poems

Life is a test. Life is a trust.
Life is a temporary assignment.
And all men are but stewards.
...

I once asked someone if he'd attend
a program I knew he had been longing
to participate in ever since I knew him.
"I wish the answer was as easy as Yes or No."

this far He has led and
helped me in every need,
This strengthens my confidence, I trust
...

the throne of dignity, honor, and respect;
full of glory, and flowing with abundance.
The hope of men. A force to reckon with-
...

Death! Death with its strong claws
makes no sound as it comes.
But with a precision of a sniper;
mindless of height and tide,

But for a moment, my arms grew cold and I neglected it.
So it gathered cold and died right in my hand asking why
I promised the ultimate and delivered the opposite.

Hopes sublimes when the veil of sense
hangs dark between God and men.
...

There comes a time when the conviction
held in a family demands the strength
and zeal of a younger mind.
...

With love and friendship,
We have weaved our web of time
And made together our best encounter.
But when our parting time comes, I pray
