Mama, Mama...
Said a baby caterpillar --
Look at that beautiful butterfly over there.
Oh, how I want to be like it,
With its radiant colors,
See how it dances over the flowers.

Baby, Baby...
responded his mom --
We are only in transition here.
Someday we both will flutter too
We all become butterflies someday
Before we die.
Beautiful things, butterfly, caterpillar, transition, flutter, flight, fly.

B-aby don't sit there in
R-ags like a slave girl
O-nly you can set this
K-ite to fly again
E-verything grows again,
N-ever underestimate your
T-ransparent heart.
H-ealing comes with time
I-nhale the sweetness of the
N-ight, let your light
G-low all through, even when the
S-un goes down.

La tendresse c'est une sourire
qu'on ne peut jamais oublies
La tendresse
c'est une femme amoureuse

Tenderness is a smile
that can never be forgotten
Tenderness is a woman in love
French type, la francaise, french poems, love, tenderness.

I believe in Garri
The holy son of Africa
Who was conceived by our toils
Born of the ****** Cassava
Suffered under the grater
Was suffocated in bags, died and buried
He descended into hell
On the third day he arose
And is now seated on the Centre of the frying ***

I belive in Garri
The savior of the lives
The defender of the weak
And the universal mother of all
African poetry. Boarding school. Cassava flakes. Garri.  Snack. Life saver.

How do we comprehend God
When He takes away your best friend
On the same day and year,
He gives you a little sister?
"You give and take away" Oh God

I miss you "Martha"
Your beautiful smiles and laughter
I don't know how I've survived these 9 yrs
Without you

Every passing year, as Cathy turns a year older
It reminds me of a "sister-friendship" I had with you "Martha"

I miss you terribly
You will never be forgotten

Adieu "Sweet Martha"

And when you think your heart is breaking,
Honey don't doubt the inner seamstress in you -
Let her stitch your broken pieces
And mould you into a fine piece of fabric -
Beautiful to be loved, appreciated and adored
By other men who have been stitched by a
Different seamstress.
