Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon Poet Lyric

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

Speaks Volumes October 23, 2022 at 4:58 AM 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. Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon October 23, 2022 at 5:05 AM Thank for taking your time to read through, Wendy. Much love, Adeniji.

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 20, 2016 at 4:07 PM 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. Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 20, 2016 at 4:41 PM 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.
