P.S - www.remenzack.com is thoroughly responsible for any of her posts linked here on Nairaland. Twenty Fifteen Some would call thee Two Thousand and Fifteen The year of remarkable cheers Let's also not forget the 'Memes' No one broke the Internet For we all learnt a more valuable lesson To learn and to love Never to despise and to grow love Would you forget the love songs? How about the tribute songs? We may never get to see you again But you're forever in our hearts Two Thousand and Fifteen We thank you greatly |

When I was young and billy Played in the rain and grew as sprout Feared God and my Father. Oh , yes, father, a huge man with hands of steel Voice like thunder and huge finger to tickle me. I watched him strong and young. The next moment I watched him dried up like leaves in harmattan... Now I am grey and frail Withering and bent twice with age I can still hear the rain outside my window And mother cautioning me not to go out and play I can still hear father's loud snore And mothers sewing machine in the dark candle lit night I sit on my rocking chair rowing slowly While I watch my grandchildren play Waiting for death and making amends Time is a dream, the years are just numbers What you ought to know is simple One day you wake young and sterling The next time you wake up sore, old and bitter Time is a dream and the years mere arithmetic...m |
