When You Are Young: A Poem For The Nigerian Child On Children's Day. by Nobody: 12:07pm On May 27, 2020 |
Happy Children's Day to every Nigerian child. May you all live to see a bright and happy future. To celebrate the day with you, here is a poem I wrote sometime ago. I was motivated to write the poem after seeing some students of Abadina College, University of Ibadan, playing boisterously as they walked home. Their gay and happy play brought back nostalgic memories of my days at the prestigious Baptist Boys' High School, Saje, Abeokuta. The poem is titled 'When you are young' : When you are young, Life is one big adventure. You can turn left, you can turn right Seeking your own path. You can bask in your rising sun Like the budding tulip flower And look at yonder years with dreamy eyes To a pleasant future. But life travels fast on time wings So toil hard while your bones are young For the sun set at dusk When no man can work. 2 Likes |
