Live Life To The Full Time Is Short.
People spend their time wondering why do people die time is short.
You say when I grow up I will do this ,I will have this ,have it now time is short.
Enjoy life to the full.

Children obey your parent because there will be a time you won't see them for time is Short.
Parents honor your children because there is always be a time you will cry for Time is short.

They say when I grow up I will do this ,do it now time is short.

Many live their lives not knowing that life is a race ,don't give up, time is short.

Life is short .like you Drive you something like water don't stop because Life comes with challenges but you have to face them.

This poem is written by my 10year old son. I found it instructive  and had to share. All credit goes to the aspiring poet Afomachukwu Okeibunor (I call him Mr President)
The best never finishes!
Yesterday was good, today is better and tomorrow will be best.
And yet bests never finishes for tomorrow is an expectations with creeds to happen.
Each day births a newness with promises and deeper hopes.
We sojourn today for tomorrow’s journey.
Sojourning to journeying with vigorous renewals to hope again .
We dare dream again
We dare hope once more and we dare believe for the best never finishes.
Each has their foible
  it's human nature
  but let such be
  as long as it doesn't hurt other people
MEN
MEN! Giants and Roaring Lions.
Your ‘Roars’  will never die.
And your Breast will always drip with milk, African!
Oh God! Teach me sulking skills  and impact in me the skills to Dispense your given oil like theses MEN!
Ngugi Wa Thiogo, Chinua Achebe, Ali Mazuri and all great African writers  They live on!
A peep at the clouds
A dance with the moon
A view of the skies
A berth in the sun
A flash of the blues
A soak in the rain
A wave of the breeze
A cheer(s) with the lips
A life flow of the spirit
A health to our souls
……………………….
……………………….
……………………….
Of these celestial harmony
Oh! Terrestrials………..
Dance, glo, wave & cheer up
In this ballet of time
The rhythm of the hearth;
    Our soul’s joy
The mindscape at peace
A display on our faces.
In the beginning
I am branded the hope of there expectations
At my birth, divinations attest to it
And libations gave seal to this fact.
My dexterity,training and experiences affirm it  
For I lighten the world as a medical doctor
Shaking the earth with my appointment at the state government Hospital; “He is our son, a great son,I weaned him at birth”
“Yes,I remembered him, he use to run around necked”
“And cry on our way to the stream.”
Such was the echoes of the joy and solidarity in there voices.
But here I am mangled in diversity of ill-treatments. Not I but the system.
Surforcating and subjugating the hope that liven them; Headace, fever, stillbirth, no drugs, fake drugs, vomiting,  
More death,------------------- the list is endless.
The healer needs healing, for the torch bearer is in-search of light
This is the crossroad of there faith that was not
In the beginning.
It doesn't matter
    where you set your sight
     as long as it is right
