I Have You

(Dedicated to Penny Wilcox) Nice people, rear to come by without ulterior motive Good fellows tend to strain from doing what they do Because of unpleasant surprises they sometimes get Bad girls are everywhere pretending to be angels Animals in human physique living “animalistic” But you are different, of exceptional attitude I believe that your virtues are divine You are a fabulous creature that really exist Radiant, full of happiness and love You are sweeter than honey pie Eagle –eyed with supersonic focus My first love that saw the need to smile in me And always encourage me to do smile You are not too old to be my sister Neither are you too young to be my mother I am whatever you want in me Very perfect to be my friend The first to know by revelation that I’m blessed I know I am a blessed man because I have you as my friend © 2010

A fine piece, Akinwade. The truth and emotion is strong. Can I say you should learn not to say things explicitly, rather paint it so reading the poem feels more like an adventure.
