I Was little
And Everything Was Big
My Daddie Was An Iroko Tree
Tall And Huge
My Mummie Was A Mountain
I Couldnt Get Around Her
I Was Little
And Everything Was Far Away
I Couldnt Reach The Bright Stars At Nite
I Couldnt Reach The Fruits On A Tree
I Am Older
Yet Everything Is Big Still
I Still Run To Daddie For Advice
I Still Run To Mummie For Warmth And Comfort
I Am Taller
And Things Are still Farther Away
The Stars Still Beckon And I cant Reach Them
But Some Of The Fruits I Can REACH! ! !
