on 13th of November 1999 I was born
the time when people were harvesting corn
and also the time when it was hard to find a phone
I was born in the coastal region
during the time of Daniel Moi's reign
In a humble family I was raised
where needs were hardly provided
and because my parents were unemployed
all to put with i had
indeed life me it soothed
in a public school, Mtepeni, schooling I commenced
although i was already aged.
Very hard in school i worked
in order to become the lead
and also my goals to be achieved
later, in a sponsorship school i was taken
and St. Bernadette Mary was its name.
where in class four i was admitted
and I'm now,2015, a class eight
and the same spirit i keep
for my dream to be accomplished
N/B CONTINUES SOONER OR LATER
