The Mrs. is on my Back

I piggy-back my Mrs;
she feels almost weightless,
both our kids are laughing
uncontrollably riding on my feet.
Their arms enfold my calves,
and their giggling grins
carve smiles on our faces too.
Ahead, along the path,
the gnarled, spirit hands
of ancestors reach without grasping.
I trudge contentedly.

Hello there... I'm Pete Akinwunmi, aspiring poet, singer, harmonica player, saxophonist, sports psych & erstwhile rugby player. On this site you’ll find my writings in the form of poems and song lyrics (a few of both accompanied by video footage) expressing my love of words, word play and fun expressing personal psychological insights related to being the best you can be or at least as happy as possible with what you are.
