Sweetness And Light - A Wish Poem by Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua - Amopho

To a precious friend with a beautiful heart
To the one who illuminates my every morn
Whose presence invokes hope and suspense
Whose every gesture is a delightful comfort
Whose greeting is long awaited nourishment
That spurs my heart to unflinching endeavors
To reverberate with a melody sweet and calm
To the one whose footsteps alight my mind
Whose pristine smile a bouquet of tranquility
A wellspring of beauty, elegance and charm

The mind cannot command the heart to love
Neither compels her affections to obedience
The heart bequests her affections towards love
And wills herself to love whomever she pleases
Thus, loves willingly, without cause or reason
For indeed, one is loved because one is loved
On this notion - a wish of love and friendship
To sweetness and light, the cradle of regality
The one who quickens my heartbeat each morn
To you my dearest friend - bounteous blessings!
