ORAL VILLAGE IDEAS
BY
DANIEL APPIAH-ADJEI

A Child Once Again
1. All days are equal not so says the Book
Like the flowing river from its source
Returning to source it may pray for
In vanity the hopes would appear

2. When behold I children out
Of their slumber and spraying shout
At corners of their loving homes
A child once again, I wish I were

3. Hand in Hand out they go roaming
Their voices on top flow screaming
Pitched carelessly a speculative role
A child once again, I’m praying

4. Never tired though ever running
Heart intact though ever jumping
Packed emotions toward firing love
A child once again, I profess

5. Childhood remembered, joy lingering
Nostalgic freedom, beaming protection
Inspiring aspirations future brightly brightening
A child once again, I call upon

6. Cracking at tests the brain not the brawn
In the air above searching the answers
Unintentionally, the tip of the writing stick eaten
A child once again, I wish, I were.
