The Sustaining Cup by Olaleye Gift Emmanuel

As we live our daily lives, we are encountered with different circumstances and different situations in which we all have different reactions to. We sometimes make mistakes which leads to regrets due to our lack of reflection and carefully thought out decisions. These mistakes go on to serve us as experiences.

In our sojourn through life, we pick up experiences and shape our thoughts and beliefs from them, hereby creating a perspective unique to us only.

“The Sustaining Cup” is a string of poems- each carrying a particular wavelength of thoughts, from my experiences and
recounted situations which explore different areas of life in which readers could learn from.

This book is written in the form of an admonition from a Parent to a child, and it consists of two parts: “Father to son” and “Daughter Episodes” As you read through this carefully arranged set of poems with an open mind, I hope you’d be able to understand the contexts, relate to the experiences, and mould for yourself a better perspective to life and living in general.
