With hands so skilled, and a heart so bright,
A young Nigerian boy, works through the light,
His old bicycle, a trusted friend indeed,
In need of repair, his hands take the lead.
In a world of scarcity, he finds a way,
To fix and mend, come what may,
No waste, no want, just resourceful might,
A lesson to us all, in his creative sight.
His fingers move deftly, with a practiced ease,
As he tightens and loosens, with a gentle breeze,
The bicycle’s chains, and wheels, and frame,
Come alive under his skilled hands’ gentle claim.
With every twist, and every turn,
He coaxes life, from a machine that yearns,
To ride again, to feel the wind’s caress,
To take him places, where dreams and joy find rest.
In this small act, a larger truth unfolds,
Of self-reliance, and a heart that’s bold,
A young boy’s ingenuity, a beacon of hope,
A shining example, for a brighter scope.
