ONCE UPON A TIME







On a cold evening in December when harmattan was at its peak
An angel was in labor, the world excited
And the evening was full of stars
It was barely few days to Christmas
The moon's brighter; she didn't want to miss a moment of joy
For there it was conceived, a bounty of joy

There was a thunderous whisper in the air
The trees dancing in their colorful leaves
Like the morning should never dawn
I think it was Sunday, for it was a perfect day to be happy
If not, how could one tell why the cloud's rejoicing?

Cheerfulness filling the sky
The drummer beats the drum as the people dance with joy
Pleasantry exchanged with claps and hugs as everyone started singing
Aloud you can hear a thunderous shout, daring the night not to slip by
As we celebrate a birth envied by the gods
Birth of a child destined and crowned for greatness
