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
