Àdùké
Priceless is your worth to me
Even than cedars of Lebanon
You're to me the best gift
Divination graciously gifted
Never you stop "fìfé kémi"
Cos daily as I live
I long after constant assurance
Of your never lying love.

"Àdùké mí, eléyinjú egé"
Your cynosural eyes is captivating
So foxy that I'm knotted to you
Mindless mouths saying I'm influenced
By your pungent "èfó rírò"
If it's so, better it continually so
For upon this "èfó rírò" I helplessly
Want to be endeared to your unfading love.

"Àdùké elérin èye"
My priceless jewel
A simple definition of sincere beauty
The two "tóóró" on the either side of your cheeks
Signal muscle to my meaty lips
Sparkling euphoria of planting pecks and kisses
I often grow, each moment you wear a smile.

Àdùké mi
Gifted are your "ìbàdí àrán"
Way too delightful its rigmarole
Following your queenly walking steps
It's intensely appealing and optically endearing
I bet it's simply "àwòmáleèlo"
Little wonder my heart sticks to you
And my mind often caresses the thoughts of you.

Àdùké please "f'owówónú"
I know I've wrought deservedly of your angst and goodbye
But apologetically I beseech you
To not flip out nor bust up
Forget, forgive and stay with me
Sail me on your forever love voyage
Assuredly, you're my eterlove
My world without you is unimaginable!

Walking the hills n valley
Through the thick n thin jungle
In hollow deep ocean
Searching for the gold to mine
She's been the staff to walk with

From treading the land bare footed
Suffering thirsts from scorching sun
Cold from the drenching rains
Being carcass to various insect bites
Searching for cattle to milk
She's been the neck to the head

To this seemingly cruise
Love n care never denied
Support n encouragement never starved
She's been the cork to the loaded barrel

She's promised when none shows up
She'll always show up and this vow
She's never failed

Cups raise for these proven saving angels...
The shoulders to the infallible cloths
Thank you can never be the word
Lew! Your selfless contributions
Too huge to bear
For such appreciative word.
