Dear pen,are you going to leave me this way
Why do you want to leave me at the middle of the sea
Do I really deserve to be given an ill treatment
You are known to be my subject why do you crack at the middle of every write-up
I have made you my friend and your ink have made my words shine
You have been the reason am hyped
You have made me put my words on paper
My words shines in the darkness even without a lantan

Dear pen,
when you seiz my world crumble
Before many eyes I fumble
simply because you made my words tumble

Indeed,you are the reason am flawless
you gave me reason to smile even when am sad
With you am full of life and without you I miss my steps to the climax

In the world of the living
I refer to you as living
oh!you have made me a meditator ,a counselor, motivator above all
You have made me feel okay even when I have to feel inferior in the present of the Superiors

indeed,you are my dear pen
