TIME DID’NT FLY

 

our hearts were young 

our feet sprung 

we were built for these and more 

mouths and tongues never sore 

we made kites and spread to the heavens 

returning home at quarter past eleven 

the muddy huts cool and welcoming 

it’s like a feast for homecoming 

our thatched roof, sun proofing 

muddy walls, bullet proofing 

choice-less and carefree  

we play more under the Baobab tree  

mother nature gave the best bosom 

the coolness of the stream was awesome 

there we have our routine bath 

diving naked irrespective of your mate 

gathering mud and clay to create 

taking our time was worth the wait 

with our fingers we create the best 

so long our feet was wet 

time didn’t fly, we savored 

childhood memories we can’t avoid 

the best part of life is growing up 

and here we are, already at the top
