DJOUBUTU - MY SON

Tall and Slim he be
Skin the color of sweet Ebony
Strength of mind he is
Honor tall and rise sky
Fleet of feet I can't catch
Rainbows fill my heart deep
Mischievous deeds he do
On my toes always I am
Future vast and wide seek
Proud am I of his good deeds
Tomorrow comes fast and quick
Time I wish to slow soon a man he be
Leave me alone soon he will
Memories of yesterday and tomorrow I enjoy
Rise tall my son live honor's way
