Reminiscing Poem by Okim Otu

Reminiscent memories on gentle gear;
Your sweet symphony goes too quickly to yester year
Swing calmly within reachable bosom
So my heart may enjoy therefrom.

Whence on cradle bed I laid
Whence on mother's arm I wade
Oh sweet memories may
Let me rest in solitary way.

Whence on childish happy day
Whence the world in dreams obey
Then for joyful spray I crave
Then with heartfelt love I gave.

Graceful morning as school boys pray
Whence time fly on midday play
Ever exciting moonlight runs
With cocoyam stem's crafted guns.

Oh! sweet reminiscent memories
Don't end this beautiful melodies.
