Ụwaọma Poem by Michael Eziudo

Ụwa m, ụwa m e, ụwaọma my Praise
Yes, the prayer in my heart, the smile on my face and the praise on my lips
Once upon a time one was it all
But like the dawn after a cold night you arrived
And here you are found
Like the mountaineers find the oasis
The aloe vera in the desert
Ụwa m, Ụwaọma m

The journey is easier with a smart understanding heart holding your hand
Side by side along this path
A blessed day it was the day you came this part
Yes, the part veering us both where we want
And alikes meet likes and love is built

Ụwa m, Ụwaọma m
You are the bravery I'd wanted all the while
We'd had us but didn't know we did
You are the womanhood I'd desired
I'd had it but had had a slippery gel along
And you had had time to make your choice
And today we'd chosen
Brilliant choices, steps our kids would like to trail

Ụwaọma m Ụwa m
A gift for tehilla, a reason for the praises
The peace of mind that came in the right time
If anything would take you from me let it take me along
And our days full of joy and fulfilment
In harmony we shall tango
As we have started and continuing from then when we shall say I do
