Poem

Your smile is my ray of hope 
The light at the end of my tunnel 
The rainbow on my cloudy day 
Your smile my daughter 
It’s the overwhelming tightness of joy in my chest 
 
You fill my thought now 
It is your future I dream about  
All the great things you are yet to achieve 
Put unwavering smiles on my face 
Yours star is my only guiding light to the future 
 
I wrote you a song not long after you were born in my mother tongue 
E bami ki Wuraola omo ola 
E bami ki Wuraola omo la 
E bami ki Wuraola omo mi 
Omo to ni iwa to rewa 
E bami ki O 
 
My sisters laughed and said it has no rhythm 
But yet you dance when I sing it to you 
Smile on your lips, sparkle in your eyes 
And I fall for you all over again 
Bend easily to your will 

Baby girl 
You are fast growing  
And that weigh heavily on chest 
The world I know now is different from the one I knew as a child  
For you my daughter I will hold the world at bay 
 
Fill your childhood with memories of comfort and love 
So you will always have a safe haven to go too 
I will sing to you in all sort of manner 
Run wild, bare footed, arm stretch in open field with you  
With you I will be young again, be silly again, 
I be a vibrant memory you can't shake loose, won't want to shake loose 
 
Baby girl  
I fear for you 
But for now I keep my fear at bay 
Carrier you in my arms 
And sing to you songs my grandmother, my mother, aunts, sisters sang to me 
Songs filled with loved and promises of a bright future ahead
