To My Gentle Little Jane

O! My gentle little Jane Amazing me with thy brain Being a writer thou shall gain When thy writings drip like rain I shall smile in thy reign Make it snappy writing pays Pick thy pen and stop delays Practise it in all thy days I shall witness thy heydays Thou shall live to make headways Seas and oceans never dry Garnished lines never shall die Make them colourful than a dye Paint like stars would paint the sky In the end thou shall soar high I know thou shall pull down rocks Moulding poetic lines like blocks Ignore all the talks and mocks Get thyself a very big box Where thy foes are kept like cocks Ensure those lines are worthwhile They shall marvel at thy style Thou shall give them a wry smile When they eat from the trash pile O! My gentle little Jane I shall give you a campaign Thou shall travel in airplane Being a writer thou shall gain

What an inspiring poem ! The greatest gift you can give a child is a good example to follow and encouragement to be the best they can be at everything they do. This poem achieves both. I am sure it is something she never will forget. Best wishes to you Adeniji.

A very endearing and delightfully slamming poem, Adeniji. No doubt it is your daughter that receives such high praise. Her enemies best beware if your prophetic voice ring true. I love this poem, because I feel the vibe and can really relate to it. I have an only child, a daughter, 25 yrs old. She is the love of my life. So keep the love and knowledge flowing, brother. A soulful treat of a poem. Love and more love to you and yours.

I've got to show this beautiful comment to my little Jane. I really understand how glad you feel each time you see your only daughter. Love between a father and his daughter is always a joy to the souls. Long live Freddie, long live your daughter.
