[By Charles Ayodada]
I salute the courage of those few
women
Who in this era of poverty of soul
Have resisted the allures of fashion
Vanity and coquetry;
Who albeit solitary, are perched like happy fragrant
roses
Widely interspersed on avid desert plain……………
I salute the courage of those few women,
Who celebrate virtue and things of the spirit;
Who value soulful companionship over vain externals
And will not trade in their bodies for ill-fated
marriages
All in the name of material security……………….
I value those few women
Who in the fleeting transience of time
Have truly lived having truly loved!
Who through this indescribable blissful feeling
Have enacted scenario of paradise……………….
I value the courage of those few women
Who silently are as strong as a moving sea
Who are fearless as a standing tsunami
Women, who wield their might most femininely…………….
Dedicatedly…………elegantly………………exquisitely
I salute the courage of those few women;
Yes! Who few as they are still
Hold the keys to the unlocking of paradise on their
Psalms
Who are weaving tapestries of the most beautiful light
into the storehouse of this mighty creation
And who make the spirit of the man feel like storming
the Heavens……………….
A laurel wreath then to those true women,
Who through the realms are linked to the isles of the
Roses and lilies
Who breathe purity
and who have found treading the noble God-willed path
ordained for them
women, who through their activities
who through just being have become a blessing to the
entire creation…………….
A laurel wreath to those women!
(Dedicated to
Mercy Azubuike & all the special ladies out their)
