When Wewere Young Poem by Keitumetse Mokhohlane

When we were young

When we were young,
Childhood became long,
'Twas such a memorable journey
Shared by two precious souls
We were overwhelmed with peace,
Happiness was our daily bread,
Wish (can it go back please‽)
Unintelligible joy, on our lead
We'd carry each others schoolbags,
Walk along, holding hands
Take one of the longest roads
Thinking we'd arrive early
Then... Go to the river
Splash into the water
Make mud-castles
Instead of one's from sand
When we were young
We were life savers, no degree
We were intelligent, no masters
'Twas then, when we were young...
