My water and soil
Uhunoma Leonard Iyahen 1986 (United States)
A young me was planted
Like a seed and watered with loving kindness.
And then I sprouted like a tree planted by the river named gladness .
The attention and nurturing
Was all a young me could ever wanted, and you both gave it all and never parted
In what ways can I repay this deeds
What do I do to let you both know am grateful indeed
Everyday I will pray and be faithful as a kid.
My roots are deeply rooted into you. And My fruits are sweet today because of you. There ain't no way I can pay you back. A thousand gold coins can't do better than my grateful heart.
So Here is my hands take it, I be that tree that would always shade it. Love you both my water and soil.
