The Family

So many years have passed, And now am becoming aged, But still feel young at heart, When i recall those past days, The days we lived as a family In the home called school That had a name of 'KIKS' Every morning was the warning gong, And the special gong for sleep lovers, Come later with our best boarding master(macha) Forcing us to run for the thick substance 'kiere' that was to keep us untill eleven And then 'muhua' and 'ngumu' would take over With the 'cunning students' demanding for 'corners' 'Ngamaa' and 'muthere' being our daily meals With 'vao' being the appetizer And the 'cunning students' demanding for 'ngozi' My 'family members' How is life taking you Always have hope Never let opportunities pass by your side. Utilize them and become great men we are not meant to follow But to be the ultimate leaders.
