Poet: Sobande Olalekan
:
(To Mother and Son)
Hurray my people's day is here again!
Today I must prove my love again!
When others were choosing a day to main!
My wife and Double trouble chosed dec 3 to rain!
:
You have read war and peace
Now here is son Charles
he will second my real world, wife.
And so I give you two a birthday cake and not a knife.
:
Imagine, folks, I am barely up
And sits here with my coffee cup,
While reminiscing of the past
When time just flew, so very fast.
:
I have changed the numbers on my watch
Now its December 3 by my watch
A day mother and son choose to start existing
I, your husband, and even the son's father, awaits your coming.
:
A sip of coffee, then a nod
Mother and son, its surely was the will of God
Today brings fond of memories of their earthly birth,
It is a day they grew older with mirth.
:
(To my Son)
Full moon to-night; and seven years
Since my full moon first broke from angel spheres!
Now I have become the tree,
Now, i am a father myself,
I thank God who gives you life for free
I love God, you my son, your mother and myself
:
Your day is here
And as such
I must stay here and not there
To celebrate you as much
:
You are one day older than you were yesterday
You are a year older than you were last year
Today is your day
And I must stay here and not there.
:
(To my wife)
You sent your spirit into tunes, my soul
Yearned in a thousand melodies to enscroll
Let me go back to your birthday. Then
I was already your one man of men
Appointed to complete you, and fulfill
From everlasting the eternal will.
:
We lay within the flood of crimson light
In my own balcony that March night,
And conjuring the aright and averse
Created yet another universe.
:
I reflect upon your life today
May God bless you before your hunter
To walk in Heaven's way
And grant you a will-power.
:
I have changed the numbers on my watch,
And now perhaps something else
