Who Am I? Poem by Alade Abayomi Idris

If plant's root could move where water is

And its leaves to where sunlight abunds

If kangaroolet could hide in the porch of her mother

And child goes where his mother sits

If the rain could travel many miles to cool the earth

And the sun saunters thousand meters to grace the earth

If it takes love making to bring baby to earth

And care to nurture him to adulthood

Then who am I
Not to go where there is love

Who am I
Not to bury myself in the juicy bosoms of my loved ones.
