Margaret Okubo Poet Rhyme

I Remember.

Tell me mummy
may I play with 
baby brother today?
Not yet  honey
he's too small 
he  might fall.
Wait another day.

Comes another day.
Mummy may I play 
with baby brother today?
Stll too young babe
 maybe another day.

 And the next day came
 but the answer remained the same.
The little girl felt sad
she had a question to ask
of  baby brother Rad.

Oh happy day when mummy says
you may play with him today.
Eyes shining, heart racing
 so happy that they could play
for one  burning question 
in her little heart lay.

 Tell me brother mine
she asks looking into his cot
what  does God look like?
 for I've sure forgot
I've been away awhile you know.


Coo...coo....gurgle ... gurgle.
  the baby  crooned.
The  little girl's smile lit up the room
as she heard  the familiar tune.

I remember now she cried
eyes dancing with glee.
I remember His smile.
Those are the words God spoke to me
 once upon a time
when I held His hand
and  skipped beside Him
through the bluest skies.
