Ode to A Child by Fisayomi Ogungbe

  You are the soil the farmer cannot do without like an arrow in the hand of an archer you…
Poetry

 




You are the soil
the farmer cannot do without

like an arrow
in the hand of an archer

you determine the fate,
the future of a nation,
of families.

You are an inheritance
you are the future
a name dies without you
you are the name
a child is what you are

 

Fisayomi Ogungbe
