My Dedication To You

This song; For you It goes back to time Of ages compacted with lime Something like; Aiming an arrow to the pupil of the bull’s eye Or poaching the miniscule creatures above It was us! Remember? -me, you and others. We never played the piracy game Or threw bullets at one another on horse backs No…! Nor did we travel on jets and took ‘others’ lives By our tiny manipulative bombs. No! We shook the world like solders marching through ‘E’vans Avenue’ -Great! We filled and enlivened the world through the Melodious tone of our souls And, as firm as rock we spiced and tuned others lives Leaving only one word from those who analytically witnessed us -Heroines yes, heroines the Victorians of those gone days -thanks for the origin of the name my gratitude and appreciation goes to you, others and I For Every Eternal Valuable Awarding Nest of Sisterhood That crowned on it the fruits of our youth Creating, building and leaving an Avenue of memory. this was a dedication I wrote to my high school classmates. it was a boarding school for girls only. Written between 2000-2003 Just the young thoughts of the young mind

Hi Njeri, This is very well done and structured. Your best line in my estimation is; "Melodious tone of our soul", written like a true poet. I was impressed by your poem "Circumcised" and your funny "Boss" Limerick. Keep up the good work. Take care. Earl

Thank you Kim. I went to a catholic highschool and with choirs and music, my class had some awesome singers. And that's one thing that really stood up about our class. And that's why this poem, has some music/song theme in it. Thank you for visiting another gem of mine. Blessings
