liz jumah - Life

life is a narrow stream
draining into the lake
life is like a beam
through the window when you wake
life is a marketplace
where things are sometimes amess
life is like a diamond case
too valuable, it's priceless.

Mysterious life,
shut me down not
with you i want no strife
as i ride in your boat
but listen to me
I have a dream
whose reality I can see
because so bright it seem

Within my short stay
i have a dream for change
a change to cast troubles away
i know my time is a short range
but through my window is a beam
indicating that my dream
though difficult might seem
will come true as i cross the stream
