Let Me Play

Parents gave me a body

Almighty gave me a soul

Community gave a mind

Let me, play a part

Mather mentored me to age

Father gave me privilege

Family kept me faithful

I should not play fool

Nature nurture us all in all

At school, I gained a skill

At store, I paid the price

Please, don’t tear apart

Alas! I walk and talk

Yes! I read and write

Alas! I sit and recite

Let me, play a part

Oh! I beg, your pardon

Just, let me play a part
