A GIFT TO REMEMBER

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

My, how thoughtful of you!
And how very nice of you!
This is just me, this gift you have made
It`s me in every way.


You didn`t have to, but I know you for being blue
You were careful enough not to make it a shoe
Yet it`s squarely within the trade
And like my mother`s market day pots, it`s made of clay.
