Ore Mi (My Friend) Poem by Michael Eziudo

Yes you are
The the falcon that holds the falconer
Like the pillar that holds the building
The priceless jewel that keeps the farmer going

Yes you are
The companion where company is scarce
That drives the loneliness and breeds laughter
And journeys side by side shoulder length with the hopeless

Yes you are
The partner in fulfilment of dreams that was made and not long foretold
The one good head that completes the two good heads
That wear one crown and give the kingdom her best rulership

Yes you are
The spot where love is found
That gives me a person to call Ololufemi
And Ife t'emi
My desire and my love

Yes you are
The one that keeps my head standing tall when others are loosing theirs
The comfort I have from the day's turmoil if there were any
The shoulder I can lean on and beat my shoulder that I have strength

Yes you are
More ever valuable than a sister
More watchful than a brother
More prayerful than a mother
And the one behind me a successful man

Yes you are
The love I found when I found love
The joy I was given when I sort it
The mate I got when I needed one
You are my friend, lover and partner
You are my wonder that keeps me wondering
The Green Green Green
That beautifies my world with your splendor
My friend, you are ore mi
