THE SUMMARY OF LIFE

In a moment I was born

In a moment I started crawling and sooner or later I begun to walk and run

In a moment I was in a crèche, then to a nursery school, a primary school and finally JSS

In a moment I was sitting in a certain bushy, reptile prone secondary school writing the so called BECE

I thought it was all over for me

But! It was not over yet

In a moment I was in a senior secondary school and in a twinkle of an eye

I was out of that peer pressure prone school, anxiously waiting for my results

I couldn’t wait patiently; I was awake most nights thinking of my results

It finally came and in a moment I found myself in one of Ghana’s universities

Soon I was out of the universal world!

Where a lot went on

In a moment I was in the bigger world, looking for a well paid white collar job

But to my amazement, there is nothing like a well paid white collar job!

In a moment, I was so happy, because I found a woman, yes a woman!

She became my wife and mother of my children

Being a father and a husband is no joke!

Soon, oh! So soon, I was gone!

Reflecting on the journey of life, I asked myself,

Why is life so short!

Everything happens in a moment!
