Ingibo Benson Poems

A poem just for you,
My special gift to you,
Happy Birthday,
I love to say it again,
...

Poem hunters,
The world of a poet,
That stands for the best,
And help young poets have rest,
...

Direct my paths,
I know not where to go,
Lead me,
The road is dark and narrow,
...

Just as the clay is in the potter’s hand
I'm a made vessel in God's own hand
Just as he makes each vessel out of sand
So God made me from the dusty land
...

Natures design,
Wondrful to behold,
Natures design
A lovely sight you bring,
...

An epitome of dignity,
An african woman,
A virtous woman,
She has shown her self to be,
...

Poverty is bad,
Telling we have got to be hard,
Working with all our might,
Until we reach great height.
...

Who adulterated our kerosene?
Where are they? Where do they live?
Unimaginable pains I have seen
For their greed I live in grief
...

O Mother! My mother
Thy love has made me strong
Each passing day, my humble pearl
Think I of thee, o fairest friend
...

Make me who I am,
Lift me in your able arms,
Make me a known star,
And let my sleeping glory shine,
...
