Odi Adi Nfe (Not Easy) Poem by Kenneth Chukwunonso Ofuani

Odi adi nfe
Taking care of a sick child is never easy
Sometimes you pet the child to take medication
Other times the child can even bite you
Then you may have to beat the child despite being sick
The worst is an oral medication
It can make you throw up
The mess you will have to take care of
Yet you must have to help the child repeat
Swallowing the pill
Love sometimes is as dynamic as the above
But let the endpoint be that you want a life
In the life of someone
Who would take you for their own
Ije uwa adighi adi nfe
