In front of me
On a zebra crossing
A little girl
On her way to school
Her little frame hidden
Behind the monstrous bag at her back
Her strident determination
Pure
Infectious
Joyful
Purposeful
With an iron will
She trudges
Forward
Forcefully
Her angelic eyes
Adorned with
The rarest of smiles
Waves of inspiration
In her dogged steps
With copious delight she waves
It is her way of saying
Wish me luck
Today's fleeting encounter
Has left me with
This wondering thought
About this believer
My psychedelic hero
With an effortless passion for life
I can't stop asking myself
From where is this loaded conviction?
Is it spiritual?
Is it genetic?
Is it nurture?
To this nameless scholar
My sincere gratitude

What a sweet but brave picture you paint of this little girl with your words. This is beautiful, well done.
Positive post Posekyere. It's really heart warming when kids do that - especially because they don't have to but simply because they want to.
Thanks MW.
The huge determination of that little girl really moved me.
Yes, Denise.

I absolutely loved this Posekyere! Loved it. Beautiful. I hope you are doing fine. Apologies for my absence. My life is so busy. What happened to that pumpkin recipe? lol
Thank you super Adaeze!
I am doing great, my dear. Yes. I realise that you are busy studying, working being a wife and all the others in life. Good to see you are sgetting some time to read what is happening here.
@ the pumpkin recipe, I believe I posted it in the comments section. I will find it and email it to you.
