A Piece of Me That Stays

To Isoboye Danagogo Song about you reminds me of Africa you are an embodiment of African culture Look into your palms and see the route of our lives cemented by love... A piece of me is in you and a piece of you is in me; a piece which clamour for greatness At the cross road where love lines crossed path, we built bricks of friendship Remember, the meatless meal we shared We coloured our first broken Alphabets We shared yesterday parrotting the national anthem which is the symbol of our unity We sang and clapped together among the congregation, living in a world of guilty innocence because we committed so many childish acts I harbour you in my heart, hope you do same too talking through poetry in the piece of me that stays in you. ©John Chizoba Vincent For Boy Of Tomorrow.
