ONE SUMMER DAY... A Poem by Ifeoluwa Oseni

ONE SUMMER DAY 

I sat on the grass, one summer day

Watching the birds fly by

I watched the boat coming in and out of the bay

And I climbed on one and said goodbye.

We sailed to the hills far away

The river’s tide was strong

And while the captain led the way

The water took us along

When we got to a water-fall

My reflection I could see

The trees moved at the wind’s call

And I knew this is where I should be

Now I and the sea are friends

Never to be parted at all

And friends we will remain till the end

Until death comes knocking at the door
