A Poem In Honour Of My Friend, Florence Okon On Her Birthday.



She Celebrates Plus One today(25/08/2014)


Time flies, the world moves,

The earth revolves about its axis,

but the Supreme remains, Unperturbs, unstruggle,

But statically dynamic.



We move, live and stay,

Oh with the Nature, she is gentle, calm and quiet,

Calculative in creating boundaries,

The boundaries that set the peace, and the stability of human race.



Just Plus One, yes Plus One, long long time ago,

Still fresh like yesterday,

Deep in the innermost of Mum and Dad,

Wao, painfully laboured with peace, fulfillment and commitment,

But with deep appreciation,

For the gift of a star, princess, queen, …



Yes I saw her, I saw  her, I saw her,

Oh God, she has come like manna to bless her generation,

So beautiful, pure and innocent,

Welcome by the mother earth into this chaotic world,

But with a mission to bring gentility in this perplexity,

Oh my little angel, princess, queen,

Exclaimed by the bearer.


Oh I look from a distance,

Now tell me, what do you see?

Hmmm! Prosperous, flourishing with much dedication,

Yes! Firm with her decision,

She says, always, “I follow my heart positively to great accomplishment”,

Yes! She is Plus One today, I love and admire,

So young and tough a lady, born to change,

Yes! To change humanity,

Wonderful, knowing you as a friend,

though at a distance.



Looking for space, oh so much, so much, so much,

how can I express her attributes?

You oh paper and pen,

You have no space and ink for this,

Oh my dear, though far from your presence,’

I pray, good health, heart fulfillment,’

Love, cherish by family and friends,

Happy Birthday at Plus One today,

Loving and cherishing you, Florence.

Paul Umoren.
25/08/2014.
