From Joy To Tears Of Joy (Special Edition For The Biochemistry Department) Poem by Tony Cemaluk Egbuonu

My impromptu joy
Turned to tears of joy.

Every opportunity cost,
Every micro and macro economic variable that played out, as weighed out —
Is not Greek to me.

I understand.
The depth, deeper than the Pacific.
The profundity, taller than Everest.

*Every Penny Matters*
Every penny is commitment,
cooperative, comforting concern,
support and sacrifice of love pure.

No amount was too little to give.
All of us, one heartbeat,
A humongous amount — reasons to believe.

A prayer in cash,
A hug in transfer,
A department saying
'We've got you, Sir.'

From top to bottom cadre and more,
Each gave what their heart and pocket could afford.
Not the size, but the love behind,
Is what we leave behind.

Every Kobo matters.
Every heart counts.
Every sacrifice seen.
And love like this
Will always evoke tears of joy, like it did today.

We stand with you.
All of you said, shouted together.
That is solidarity.
To every giver — I pray. God bless you.

The timing tallied.
It hit a tidy spot on my end financially.
As the break in transmission broke the camel's back.
Pray, hope and help to see that it lingers no further.
So we all joyfully meet to rejoice in tears of joy together.

I am Cemaluk — with Love pure.

Thank you all, dear Biochemistry family.
