You
You're a seed covered up in a soil,
Soon sprouts out, in no time,an iroko tree,
You are!
You're that iroko tree,a king amongst others,
Your leaves,broad and green,your stem, strong and firm,
You are!
You are that plant by the tributaries of waters,
Never withers,never shrinks,your leaves,ever fresh,ever green,
You are!
You are that one star,with a peculiar shine,
Amongst countless heavenly bodies,you shine uniquely,
You are!
You are an eagle,soaring high in the sky,
Spreading out your wings in flight, king of birds,
You are!
You are a lion,your limbs and claws,so fierce,
Foes tremble and shaken at your roar,king of the fittest.
You are!
You are a rock,compactly packed,a Zuma rock,
Even the whirl wind have you not moved.
You are!
You are a mantle in the hand of the greatest one,God,
With you,this world is a better place,
You are!
