A Poem on International Girl Child Day
October 11- International Girl Child Day Adeola Ikuomola's, ' I am a Girl Child' I am a bright girl child Born for intellectual flights To set the dark skyways alight To brighten the world all the way. I am a creative girl child Born to ride on royal horses Far away from the rickety trucks Of the cold clods of dross and decay I am the fountain of wisdom And the mountain of knowledge I soar in the clouds of understanding Off the wailing woods and weeping waves I am the mustard seed Planted for a bumper harvest To soften the soils and season the souls I am the promising golden-eyed girl child
