My hands

GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)



Be full of vigor and strength
Brave the duties bestowed
Be diligent and smart
By giving up not

Whenever I want to write
Wriggle the pen like an eel
Whip it to carve what I want
Writing the best handwriting

Danger when it lurks around me
Draw up into a tight fist
Dig hard into the jaws of foe
Diminishing them to scraps

Lift me up the fences easily
Like when I go to Mr. Musa’s house
Let me reap as many mangoes as I can
Lest I lack energy to control you

Finally make me the best scrambler
Full of tough muscles to grab,
Fight and scoop the most food
For my satisfaction is yours!
