A NEW BABY

A new day is like a new baby
Undeserving of troubled past
Even if tears of yesteryears act shady
It will be crass to latch and lust
…for the new baby

II
In the same way it’ll be unfair
To share with it a past worry
If a hurt does claim its pair
It must settle for a sincere sorry
For it will be cruel to hate and bait
…the new baby in its young cradling state

III
So allow it
…to grow its world to fit it
Give it room
…to plant its seeds to bloom
Give it freedom
…to built for itself a mighty kingdom
For it is just a day among many
One which battles to leave memories
…in order to be remembered among the many
Who have already earned many glories

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

I’m actually not feeling too good just now, think it might be the weather rather than the virus but going to take things easy for a fortnight just in case, that’s why I haven’t been around much recently.
