Toheeb Tiamiyu (Lagos state, Nigeria)
Magical Being
Wonder why I never fell?
Go down but never drown?
Why a smile is always painted
On my beautiful cheeks?
You reason as to why
My hearts sings always
Gracious hymns
And not songs of sorrow.
The secret you seek
Of my ever-lively heart,
The secret I shall tell,
Is this magical being.
An angelic being
That grasps my hand so I stumble not.
The name you ask,
Ayo I say, Ayobami Abiola.
She is the one who like a spell
Has painted a wide cheer
On my once sad cheeks
An eternal change.
Oh! God I thank you,
For this wonderful creature
Which you made me
So unworthily her bestfriend.
Her voice as subtle as a dove
Quenches any fire around me
She is always there, by my side
To guide, every step I take.
Ma meilleure amie
A rare gem.
Forever am I indebted to you
For your love, care, support and friendship.
This friendship
Will I cherish forever,
And I always will be by your side,
My very best friend.
