Whenever I look at your affable face
My spirit is lifted up with your smile.
My mum had daughters who’re my sisters
And I love them unconditionally,
And none of them can be my wife.
I had aunts and friends
But none has dealt with my spirit
The way yours have done, not bad!
I don’t care where my better-half
Could come from,
Be her an Ivorian, Biafran, Nigerian,
Asian or American,
But I care for a woman
Who would love me as a brother,
Sister, mother, father…..
And I have found these qualities in you.
You encourage me with warm regards
And care for me with your question:
How are you?
Hope you are fine?
Stay safe!
Peace!
You might think that these don’t matter,
But they create significant image in me.
I always make my orison concerning you,
Asking almighty Chineke to protect you.
Asking almighty Chineke to protect you
And to keep you safe for me,
Because not a time too long I shall say
Bye to ‘singles’ club and pray with you.
