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
