Nostalgic Poem by Francis G. Kariuki

This is for all those I keep at heart
Pals, relatives and all you beautiful people
Who I have chewed some fat with at one point
During the dog days that've now long gone

A pang of nostalgia grips me
Whenever my mind wanders to the time we've had
The jokes we cracked, the banter that knew no end
Least forgetting how we laughed our heads off
Any time we would gang together

What a pity it is right now
That the good, old days are now just a memory
But the peeps with whom they were made
Forever will be endeared no little
Cos we lived life, loved and laughed

As life moves on, tackling each day as it comes
How hard I pray that in God's blessings they drawn
That love, favour, care will accompany them always
All the days of their blessed days.
