Young and bold when we were children

Life was beautiful

Sadness felt when our parents beat us for stupidness

Other than feeling hungry, life was okay that’s what we knew.

We were too young to understand things

Such was life when we were children.

At middle age life gets a little more complex

We saw father, uncle or grandfather sitting at verandah at night

Relaxing it’s what we thought too you to understand!

Dreaming a lot of things on what want to be in future

Getting home titatuwa nkumakana kusukusula and even bathing

Stealing ndiwo everyone has done at some point 

A lot happened

Such was life at middle age

All grown up aware of many thing’s

Things are complex 

Now we understand why they stayed at verandah during the night alone 

To and fro trying to make it in life

Hope is what makes us strong and keeps us moving 

This life is full of mixed reactions, feelings, emotions, events and everything

Such is life despite having different backgrounds
