Wonderful Gift Poem by Menkato V Awomi

When I was a child,


You brought me up gently,


You taught me the roads and all lessons of life;


From my childhood till now I can feel your gentle care.


You would hold my hands and walk,


When I am tires on my ways.


Now, when I recall my days, I can see your smiles;


I cannot forget those smiles.


Voice came floating in my ears,


Sweet gentle words of care,


Then years have gone! ! !


I hear stories from you,


Which I adore till now,


When lightning and thunder grumble,


You would fill me with your strong arms,


When I cry for my needs; you fight the world.


Lord! ! help me to walk on their footsteps,
As they want to be like you and live each day,


Making each day a living sacrifice for me.
