Under the Tree

UNDER THE TREE Under the mango tree, On the wooden chair he sat, Resting his head on the tree, Watching the movement on the ground by the ants, Old man of many ages, His grey hair speaks volumes of his wisdom, Wisdom of great inspirations, The words of his mouth always calm and mild, And his walking stick lies in between his legs. Men seeks his counsel under the tree, With rapt attention they listen, And their hearts made glad from his sayings, The weary souls came alive from his words. He always say “hide not the truth and let goodwill prevail”. ANYABOLU IFEANYI DOMINION GENTLE 15 FEB 2019
