Ebunoluwa

As the grass does not sprout
Without source, without cause
Then you did not come to birth
Did not exist without purpose
                       --for nothing .
Like talk, like play
You were born by man, borne from Jah
You are a gift from God
A gem among stones.

As inspired as your creator,
You are a blessing to man
Because you are unique
In your own way
And each time I look at you
Every time I see you
In my mind’s eye
I hope to emulate you:
The way you treat life’s burden
More like spice than bug
You truly are
A person lovingly spun by God!
