INTERNATIONAL DAY OF GIRL CHILD
Drop off from the hurdles of growth:
....
Beside me,
You wept and slept with tears
Soaking my pamphlet
with the thoughts of you
I drew my voice further,
Sounding like an harp.
...
You flicked with the dim light,
Threw yourself three times at the wind of life
You got a little window? Hope can give one...
....
Urchin,
You are an uptight frail child
Who quests for warmth,
Within your reach,
You had the memories of feint pictures
That carries your lineage history.....
...
Travel into the times
Where bubbles were treasured like pearls,
Make kites, balloons and run after the rattling lizards
Picking on leaves,
Mimick the chirping birds
and sing yourself a beautiful song-
Learn not to cry like a coward.
....
Walk in your prime
Punch with the nib of your fingernails the keys to excellence
Do not feign, do not dare lie.....
....
Your heart might have occupied hatred,
Your mind must have been in chaos....
Sometimes, you might have despised God,
Sometimes, you might have felt like eating up your flesh.
....
Do not worry,
Drop off for a while
Wake up and dream big, bigger .Dream do come Through!!!!
