BOAT OF LIFE

Damilola Akinduro 2002 (Lagos)



The Boat of life.
I need the boat,
Boat,boat,boat.
The boat is a sailing life,
Life depend on the Boat!
The boat sailing in front of us
Calling out for us!
I said sail and sail.
The boat call out for me ?
But I couldn’t;
I cried ,cried and cried  
At a tender age of gigantic boat of life ,
I said am on it ,
I cried out the world
The boat continues calling out for me !
I cried and cried for a gigantic success of the sailing Boat.
