![]() Letter to my unborn child.A Poem by Edmund S. Obumba
My dearest child,
I envy your abode,so silent,so serene, away from this queasy feeling, we get each time we wake, to the stench of our 'fresh air' too bad..you'll join us in a month or two... but good thing you've got a chance to prepare... Nyarpiny my baby(I know you are a girl) you'll need a heart of concrete to withstand all the arrows.. be it from cupid or heartbreaks, a brain of water.. to dissolve all the troubles you'll experience that would otherwise age you before you deserve, eyes of glass, so they don't get sore from all the crying, rubberband lips, so that u don't tire of smiling, heavy feet..that wont hurry to harm a large stomach.. to stomach all sorts of gossip from your kind..be careful not to vomit. unclenchable fists to keeo shaking hands even though raining blows would seem fair, lockable thighs and a thinking brain so u don't end up thin and lifeless... and to top it up, A LIVING GOD so you can make it through this rummage called LIFE © 2012 Edmund S.
