A poem dedicated to my siblings ; Brother Yusuf, Aisha, Abdulazeez and Halima Olalere



I will hold my pen to bed
When the day comes with no words for poetry
I will dream of our infant voices
as mother warns us to quit the dashes
Yet we will run into to the kitchen
Hiding and seeking
Happy and smiling

That I may wake and forget
the nice warm memories of once upon a time
When we played childishly
'cause we were truly children
I shall dream of them
Even if they are now dusty voices

A paper on my chest,
And a pen on my right
While I layed in bed
I had penned a poem before that goes thus ;
"I dreamt of our infant voices
         As mother warned us to quit the dashes
        Yet,we ran into the kitchen
         Hiding and seeking,
         Happy and smiling"

I won’t bore you with all my emotional jargons_ so my story will start from the end; ...and that was how the 21st century was crowned...
