She is Onyinye

A masterpiece of God’s craft

Mother Nature’s work of art

Tanned in bursting splendour

Fortifies the heart in super Valor

Her hair weaved in dread

Greatly knitted and braided

She is Onyinye

I recall to have seen the dawn and sunset on grasslands and windy hills

coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Anambra

I have seen countless OF Ada Obi,

bringing the springing grass and the soft warm of Obi’s reign to unending memory.

I have heard the song of the old melody from ancient vocalist,

I have seen great paintings from world best artist;

But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to me

Are her dimples, her hair, her voice, her eyes, and the cherished red curve of her lips

She is Onyinye

In deep imagination the picture never in doubt

In my faintest instinct it foretells no error

I am assured for you I have found love

So true, like a red, red rose

That’s newly sprung in June;

so soothing like the melody she sang often

That is sweetly played in tune

She is Onyinye

A love that once strayed me by
