A Man's Day Poem by Lehlohonolo Selai

Dreams grew not in the sun
As so do thoughts in the mind
Varnishing your touch while
Making you of sterner staff

A man's day comes
Not so joyfully yes it comes
Bearing challenges like thorns
To name you a man

A man's day comes
As so do seasons subject to God
Yours is here oh my friend
Your day of growth has come

Lilies rose at dawn
As your neurons made up a thought
Of a cake we might share
For this is yours, a day

We sang a poem in a distance
Hoping to bring you to tears
Hoping also to see u grow a beird
For this is your day in this era
Of joy and tuns of laughter
