I Will Come To You :Letter To My In Law

BEFORE the day gives room for the reign of the night Before the loudest silence conquers the stillness of the bustling day Before the active eyes of the Hawk hide behind the tired lids I want to say I will come to you like omo-gidi in Aso-oke, gliding in pompous fashion against the walk of the wind I will come to you with a neck and wrist decorated with the proud beads of our land I will come to you like Omoluwabi who cherishes the values of the land and pledges to uphold them even afterlife I will come to pluck my favourite flower in your garden with my chest against your ground; a way that pleases the unseen faces of our ancestors I will come with my ebi ati ara(family and friends) to pick that day your name would be replaced with mine.
