"CHASING SUNRISES" BY MAURICE CHIADZWA

Smeared golden glitters you can't tag a price

Authors the Eastern horizon during sunrise

The sun starts it's walk across the skies

He sighs, then he clutches up his fist

Slaps the time counter on his wrist

To get the gold before they twist

Walks enlightened in dark mist

A day a moment is a chance

To learn, grow and enhance

So what he gets to enhance

Gets for him another chance 

He'll navigate through the mist

Aims his own fate a golden twist

Gold in his mind, gold on his wrist,

Gifts in his hands, gold will in his fist

So before the sun falls beyond his skies

He's learnt to love more the gift of sunrise

The rising of an opportunity to make a price
