IT COMES WITH THE BOOBS!



By Mildred Ngesa poems 2012-Addis Ababa

 

When you absorb so much

Then give even more

When you hold everything

With no arms of steel

Don’t worry, it’s a courage thing

It comes with the boobs!

 

When you fight so hard

To love even harder

When you lose so much

To save so little

Don’t worry, it’s a love thing

It comes with the boobs!

 

When you work so hard

To hold the kin firm

When you give it all

To keep folks close

Don’t worry, it’s a family thing

It comes with the boobs!

 

When you laugh so hard

To cry even longer

When you dance so much

Then tumble even further

Don’t worry, it’s a heart thing

It comes with the boobs!

 

When you try so much

To look good and right

When you act so much

To be whom you are not

Don’t worry it’s a fad thing

It comes with the boobs!

 

When you bleed so much

To live each month

When you gain so much

From gallons that you lose

Don’t worry, it’s a girl thing

It comes with the boobs!
