Fashioned In Heaven,Realized On Earth
Two love birds collide
Different world
Different cities
Different colour
A tale of two cities
Like a
cinderella
story...
The groom
chocolatey
The bride
lights up
What an
attraction
Between
Unlike
poles...
When the
chocolate
enters
The bride
lights up his
world
He said he
loved her
He pursued
determinedly
He was
focused
and
patient....
And he got
his "Prize"...
As the day
drew nigh...
For the walk
on the aisle
Everyone in
high spirits...
Preparations
all the way..
To make it a
day
Dat lasts
long in the
memory
Trumpets
blowing..
Drums
banging
Dancers
strutting
their stuff
Standstill...the
order of the
day
All nooks
and
crannies
filled
For just two
people
Destined to
be *father
and mother*
Of many
nations*
Union that
has been
God-
ordained
To
transform
and mould
lives
With Jesus
at the
Epicentre..
The rivers of
excitement
flows
through my
bloodstream
Now its a
month of
God-fulfilled
promise
Tick tock
says the
clock....
A month in
no time
Will lead to
a year
And to a
decade....
Double
decades...
and
many more
If Jesus
tarries....
God will
*jinki* you
with seeds
That will
continue
your vision...
And your
parental
roles fulfilled
You shall
not lax
in
your
responsibilities
To
yourselves....
And seeds....
You are an
eagle
Destined to
soar...
You shall
shine...
Brighter
than the sun
You shall
walk with
God
Like never
before
*jinki*
yoruba word
for enrich...
(An
indigenous
language in
nigeria)
