Gideon Idudje Poet Free verse

I Will Be the Stars

I will be the stars
The moon will be my mum
The sun will be my dad
The rain will be my brother

The wind will be my sister
The rainbows will be my friends
The rocks will be my cousins
The fountains will be my happy tears

The waterfalls will be a nickname
Of an edifice I carved for you 
Among the rocks and 
That I have chosen just for you

The fields will be my attires
The paper and the ink 
will be my parcels for you

I tell my mum to rule the nights
Take away sorrows of darkness from you
Caress away your insomnia
 And clothe you With her cares
That her night gleams your attires

And I will be the stars

I tell my dad to shine on you,
sunbeam your countenance,
away your damp with his warmth,
and smile always at your hustle

And I will tell my brother to feed you 
With the heavenly springs
Flow on your droughts
Feed your greens

I will tell my sister to cool you
With her tender breeze
See that you are bathed
With her oxygen

I tell the rainbows 
Of how you wrote me 
Many poems of love
And how we smile together
As co stars

And I will tell The Fields
To weave you coat of many colours 
red, green, yellow, blue,
violet, orange and indigo coloured
The rainbows will lend a helping hand

I will be the Stars

I will tell the Fields to plant 
In your garden multiple colours of roses
They will add a sunflower also
I will tell them to fit in berries, 
red, blue, multiple berries

And I will be the stars

Up above among heavenly
Bodies, I will shine as the firmament
Daniel chapter twelve holding three
And brighten your tomorrow
Shining  your prayers to God Almighty Alone


First PLACE WIN
STRAND NO 800 ,any theme,any form FINALE
