LOVE EFFORTLESSLY

-
Let's make every second count Putting fears and our tears out Tick tack, tick tack, tick tack The clock keeps racing away But hearts traipsing their way Through all these kaos While still loving piously Walking hand in hand with fingers interlocked While our heads this wild dream forge Come away, come away There is nothing more to say But to drink from the deep bowls of love And watch the courting white doves Goo goo gooing To the pleasure of its lady With all the care and skill there is.

She had sons in whom she prides Those who stood with her in strive, Those that nursed her to her first stride, The stride that brought her sovereign rights. Those that gave voice to her plight. She has many to feed Both her young and grown up kids She has raised many but non is weaned So that even in her old age she labours still Nigeria, my mother, I love you and I always will. http://a.allpoetry.com/poem/9967515-Nigeria-by-Mr._Tok
