Baby Boy…. Poem by refilwe ranape

Little Rascal, my rascal, yes you are mine;
Strange though, the word to describe you, my endearment;
How I wish I could change the world for you!
How I wish to make it a better place, for all of you!
And make it safe wherever you are;

Oh dear, my life has never been the same;
Since you’ve graced this planet of the unknown;
Just like a shining candle in the dark, you brighten my world;
When I see you smile, I just know that everything is ok;
Hehehe…you demand a hug, a kiss, is this how you remind me of your existence?
Need not to, I know, I know, I know;


You tend to demand notice; any where, at any time;
I am not always around, I wish I could;
The world is so demanding! I’m demanding!
You have to eat, you have to cloth, you have to go to school;
I can’t promise to be here all the time or forever
Some day, some girl is going to break your heart;
Love to be there, to give you comfort, like I do now when you fall off your bike;
Can’t promise to be here forever though;
For now, all you have to do is wake up, and I will take care of the rest;
Baby boy!
