Take This Message To Clara
Under the African blue skies
I saw this beauty with a sparkling eyes
Full of charms and majestic aura
They said her name was Clara
But I was a very poor cowboy
Who could not afford even a baby’s toy
How could I tell her the feeling in my heart
Since we both lived a world far apart
But I could with a full courage
For I really have come of age
I walked up to her with my cowboy’s hat
And told her of the love in my heart
She looked at my head and found no crown
She asked of the car to cruise her downtown
I stood speechless for I had none of those things
Obviously she belongs to the rich and the kings
But I have a garden full of roses
Where she could please me with myriad poses
She said “go and never come my way”
But her smiles looked easy and gay
I went home dejected on that silent night
Wondering at my rejection in such an extreme
height
I went and lay on the long grass
Feeling so bad about my social class
But like proton, I remained positive
Even though she called me primitive
All of a sudden I heard the call of love
Echoing from the sky far above
Whatever will be will be
It was a message that dropped in me
Few moons later,I met another cherubim
Who looked like my crush in my favourite film
And in a short while,there was a whisper of love
And as if that wasn’t enough
She made me a promise so grand
That she will forever cling to my hand
Wow! She awoken the glory of my blossom
Brought a company to a heart like mine so
lonesome
Like sun streaming forth from the sky
I now shine in love and always feel high
Please take this message to Clara
Tell her am now in love with a girl called Flora
Full of unmatchable and unspeakable aura
With a heart so large and even purer
Tell Clara that her beauty is not so rich
For she isn’t the only pebble in the beach
This I needed to let her know
So that her pride would cease to glow
That cowboy is now rich in fortunes and in love
With a magnificent being sent from above
