Quotes If you should take my child Lordcove Give my hands strength to dig his grave cover him with earth Lord send a little rain For grass will grow Speaking about Grass will grow If my house should burn down So that the ashes sting the nostrils Making the eyes weep Then Lord send a little rain For grass will grow Speaking about Grass will grow External links Category:Poets from Kenya Category:Short story writers from Kenya Category:1935 births Category:1993 deaths
