SEPTEMBER MY BIRTH MONTH

By Adeola Ikuomola

I cannot but remember
The month of September
When by the glowing ember
I leapt like a frog into the world

I screamed with all my heart
Like a stream visited by a hart
The world was an oversized hat
For my newly formed head to bear

I have lofty heights to attain
With my hands far from a stain
The glorious success mine to retain
When the world opts to turn around
