Aby M'Baye Poet Free verse

Golden Lady

Golden Lady 

When I was little my mother used to tell me...
Life is not a novel
I chose life as a theater
When I was little my father always told me...
Take it easy
I ran headlong into life 
Free like a river...

The present of the moment 
Or the moment of the present... 

When I was baby my mummy used to sing to me... 
Ayo néné... 
Touti Néné...
And I sang it when I became mother myself
When I was a baby my daddy used to sing to me... 
You are the sunshine of my life...
And I forgot it 

The gift of the present 
Or the moment of the past... 

When I came to New York...
People called me Golden Lady 
And looking for Golden Lady... 
I found a Stevie Wonder song 

When I was little I called my Grandpa'Thanks... 
And in my little voice I'd tell him 
I just call to say I love youuu...
And I'd hang up 

For a moment in the present 
Forgotten in the future... 

Thanks New York 
That brings back wonderful memories of childhood 

Oops ! I forget my Grandma'Ola 
Ola 
Olala
