Analysis of Today

Uhunoma Leonard Iyahen 1986 (United States)



A new dawn
A new month
Since been born
In this world
 I have seen days
Like this day.
A sweet day,
A good day,
Some not so
Some sorrows.
In been broke and so low
My head up my hope fought
I get through it all.  

A new born i
Have become
While its dawn
On my lawn
Awaking from
 sleep too long
A fresh start has now begun
