A little village child I knew
for many years now
walks her way
into the bosom of her salvation
hardships carried
will keep her head upright
when she walks university ground
Monday’s orientation
for many years now
walks her way
into the bosom of her salvation
hardships carried
will keep her head upright
when she walks university ground
Monday’s orientation
What a joy it was
to see her clad
in her Cheetha gowma*
came for blessings
am overjoyed
she’s won a good part
of her battle for light
a proud gutsy mother by her side.
