Take This Message To Clara

Under the African blue skies I saw this beauty with a sparkling eyes Full of charms and majestic aura They said her name was Clara But I was a very poor cowboy Who could not afford even a baby’s toy How could I tell her the feeling in my heart Since we both lived a world far apart But I could with a full courage For I really have come of age I walked up to her with my cowboy’s hat And told her of the love in my heart She looked at my head and found no crown She asked of the car to cruise her downtown I stood speechless for I had none of those things Obviously she belongs to the rich and the kings But I have a garden full of roses Where she could please me with myriad poses She said “go and never come my way” But her smiles looked easy and gay I went home dejected on that silent night Wondering at my rejection in such an extreme height I went and lay on the long grass Feeling so bad about my social class But like proton, I remained positive Even though she called me primitive All of a sudden I heard the call of love Echoing from the sky far above Whatever will be will be It was a message that dropped in me Few moons later,I met another cherubim Who looked like my crush in my favourite film And in a short while,there was a whisper of love And as if that wasn’t enough She made me a promise so grand That she will forever cling to my hand Wow! She awoken the glory of my blossom Brought a company to a heart like mine so lonesome Like sun streaming forth from the sky I now shine in love and always feel high Please take this message to Clara Tell her am now in love with a girl called Flora Full of unmatchable and unspeakable aura With a heart so large and even purer Tell Clara that her beauty is not so rich For she isn’t the only pebble in the beach This I needed to let her know So that her pride would cease to glow That cowboy is now rich in fortunes and in love With a magnificent being sent from above
