Farmer's Son

Farmer's Son
In The Northern Deserts
Of The Sudan
1958
Two Years After The Birth Of This Country
He Came Into Existence
Son Of A Farmer
Who Was Neither Well Off
Or Down Under
He Led a Simple Life
This Son Of A Farmer
He Rode A Donkey To School
Where He Spent Weeks At A Time
In The School Dorm
He Went On To College
In The Capital
A New Sight
Hundreds Of Cars
And From These Humble Beginnings
He Went On To Have Four OF His Own Kids
And He Became My Father
Son Of A Farmer

Ode to my Mother

Ode to my Mother

My Mother
Carrying And Pushing Me To My Limits
Helping Me Carry My Own Weight
She Has Formed My Personality
God Gave Her A Slab of Clay
And She Toiled and Worked
From Pre-K To Graduate
Mother
I Am Forever Indebted To You
And When The Time Comes
I shall Payback My loans
With Interest Of Course
For It Is The Least I Could Do
And When The Time Comes
When You Need Me
It Is Not A Favor
But A Duty And A Pleasure
Indeed I Will Gladly Work
My legs Off For You
And my Arms,Head,Shoulders


Anything.............
