With joy in my heart
with gladness in my soul
I will praise God in a happy way.
My demeanour exudes joy! !
...

You're an extraordinary woman that's turned my ordinary world into an amazing one...

Strength and dignity are your clothing
And thus you deserve honour for being gracious
...

I go to school on weekdays to learn
But my schoolmates think other wise
On Monday uche argues with a teacher,
On Tuesday we're flogged,
...

When I think about life,
I think of the mysteries of the world.
Why are there rich and poor people?
Why do people get sick?
...

When we come to the world
We're welcomed with celebrations.
Morning passes;
We're toddlers, learning to walk
...

I have a friend
a fair friend
a fair fine fashionable friend,
My old fashioned friend
...

My lover has left me today,
Now I'm all alone.
I am like a hunter without his headlamp;
Wandering aimlessly through the dark forest.
...

My gentleman friend sent rays of light through my window,
And he called out to me
'Dear friend I'm up in the sky,
Won't you say good morning to me? '
...

I traveled to Jerusalem today
I went looking for the great teacher,
People say he's the wisest man on earth.
I wanted to know more about life,
...

As I painted on my easel,
As my brush went to work
to put together an art piece,
Each stroke of my brush gave life to a human.
