The Damsel

With Queenly stride she walks, And with soft speech she talks Filled with royal blood, Unmistakably adorable is she Her looks kill Her presence thrills, Her demeanour enraptures the heart, And her smile pierces a very soul When you see a girl beautiful, Mama taught, Look no more than once, Lest your heart gets caught, In the web of passion But how shall I avoid a second glance, And a third and a fourth, For this damsel seems hard to ignore, Oh, what wonder of creation is this! The stars shine in awe, The moon effusive in its praise, The elements acknowledge your sublime beauty, Oh, how the sun wishes it were you. Be it known to you, O daughter so lovely, That in my sight, Thou art Highly Esteemed, And thou art Loved

My Family

The alarm rings loud The chicken crows proud The Sun announces the dawn Alas, a new day has come Nonetheless my heart is weary Weighed down by thoughts so eerie How long shall this be And troubles flood me as doth a sea Sadness saturates my thoughts As I chew some at some nuts For there are yet battles unfought And oceans that must be crossed Suddenly, The Father sends me ANGELS To my rescue comes HIS girls ‘Hi, Dr Emeka’, quips TinTin ‘My, you look so beaten’      Biola adds, ‘Please  Bishop, smile’ And now, I look better by a mile! ‘Lady T’ encourages my soul And gives me hope on a roll This is a tribute so fitting For them is this poem written I will rise to pray for them early For indeed, they are My Family
