Aisha Saidy, The Young Gambian Poet
By Aisha Saidy
Soul so pure
Knows no hatred
Innocently smiling
Spirit amass with love
My little angel
The blossoming genius
Embedded within your little gentle soul
The puzzling capabilities of brains
Showing strong individuality
Innovatively driven by a big heart
At such tender age
Your imaginations manifest
A profound uniqueness
Nourished by flow of thoughts
Running wild like
Water falling from the mountains
In a variety of forms
Genius comes
Yours at four
A sharp mind at play
Making the world’s geography
A chess board
Spotting multiple nations at once
Traveling the universe without a speeding jet
The boundaries of each nation detailed out in your head
Little Aisha, my angel
The blossoming genius
- Especially written for little Aisha Mane, Daughter of Awa Saidy-Mane, Minnesota -
