Tell It To Ehimen Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

Tell it to Ehimen

Ehimen, it is a promise
I promise to keep
I tell you,
I'll be at your doorstep
At 12am on the dot
Just to be the first
To see your beautiful face
And I tell you,
I have too many gifts for you
I hope you will like them
First is my face and
Other you will see when
I open the bag.
I will try to be with you early
You won't be alone even for a moment

But in case I don't show up
Don't think I've disappointed
Just know it finally happened
And don't try calling my phone
'cause it won't go through
Everything I've told you
Came to pass
Just lift up your pillow
Your will see my picture there
In case I don't show up
Promise me you will keep that.

I know I will try to be around
But in case you don't see me
Please know I tried
Just that my feet couldn't take me
Just that my palms were cold

Tell Ehimen
I will make it up someday
In case I don't make it now
I will make it up someday
I will take you to the moon
And point the sun to you
We will stroll down round the world
And stop in Rome
Where I will give you my world
And the earth to be yours.

Don't mind my voice
I sing better than the Edos
And I will sing for you
I will render you a poem
I ain't got no naira nor dollars
No diamond ring nor precious stones
But I got gold in the morning sun
And silver in the stars
All for you.

Don't worry Ehimen
I have stories to share with you.
