IF ONLY SHE KNEW.

The dilemma of a girl child, love, tears and fear.

Peom by Bennett chijioke.

IF ONLY SHE KNEW.

That her mother’s scold

Is an act of love

That the pains she gets

Is her gain to fetch

That the tears you bear

Is the pain she fear

But she never knew 

Cause the pain is much.

If only she knew

That the father’s love 

Is the same with the mother

That the distance not covered

Is a pain under covered

That every time spent together

Has a lot to tender

But she never knew

Cause the distance is much.

If only she knew

That family isn’t blood alone

But love

That most friends are close

But most are foe

That sister is by chance

And friends by choice

That family offers

Both love and blood

But she never knew

Cause the love is disguised.

If only she knew

That lustful love of a play boy

Is for his personal gain alone

That his love and words said to her

Are the same said to another

That the love rushed 

Is her emotions crushed

But she never knew 

Cause the lust is tough.
