Njeri Hunjeri Poet Verse

Nothing's a Giant

That I can lay here in bed, and remember 
That my mind can bypass all the valleys and hills in my past
To recall of one time, long time ago 
To think of the girls, in my primary school years

The happiest days of a girl's life
The games we used to play
Our laughter that vibrated beyond class room walls
Our innocence, the secrets we told

Some got married, happily ever after
A close one bled to death after several abortions
Her death was an opaque curtain that left a dark space in the hearts of many 
Some became great members of the society, education was their upward stairway 
Another close one became a lady of the night
Her story is only told behind closed doors
In hushed tones
She never had the opportunities.....

A lot many of them became mothers
They work the hardest to give their kids the best tickets
They enjoy the sleepovers, the sports games, the birthday parties, their kids' laughter and innocence 
As much as their kids
