Ode To Youth

By Akili G Jimo

Oh youth! How beautiful are thee!

Like a flower capturing every eye,

Know that thee blooms only for a while

Maketh worth, even it’s for a short time.

Oh youth! Thy time is short!

Let the world see thy light!

In thee, the nation be great and might

Make it strong, with faith and insight.

Oh youth! Thy time is short!

Let thy days never go in waste,

Nor thy moment be in vain and dust,

Make it memorable, that forever may last.

When the time come for thee to think back,

May thee never regret missing out the chances.

Life is short, so is the youth life,

Make a change, that thy be remembered.
