POEM TITLE

I want to be

POEM

I want to be .


Just like a flying kite.

I will run around like a child

Singing with my voices so high

Like the birds of the air

I will join them I'm chirping

Sounds unknown

Yet you alone understands

And dance to their tunes.


I will surely go for hunting I

I will join the lions

I will learn the patterns to roar at the sight of things that scares me.

I will join the chameleon

And learn the ways of adapting to whatsoever situations I find myself.

I'm strong

I wouldn't crawl like the snakes but hop like the frogs .


I will learn the acts of the monkeys

To be like them that loves banana

I wouldn't love banana, rather

I will be a lover of God's word

I will chew each piece daily,

I will learn the acts of the gecko wall

That doesn't leave a house

I will remain in God's house

Not the one built with hands

But the one that is in me.


I will run like the cheetah.

With you alone by my side

I will run like the leopard

And move away from things which you hate.

I refuse to be like the lizard .

That would nod at every sights of things it sees.

I will speak .

I will shout like the wolves

At the things that tears me apart

I will be quiet as the dove

Sitting and waiting on you

Till you come for me Jesus.
